On this episode of The Bespoke Parenting Podcast, host Julie Gunlock talks to self-described “relaxed parent” Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne about being a mom and an elected official. Rep. Van Duyne explains her own interesting path from heading her city’s park planning commission, to city council member, mayor, then ultimately to her current job of representing the 24th Congressional District in Texas. Julie and Beth discuss the challenges and the rewards of parenting, the dangers kids face today, including fentanyl, and how open communication, stability at home, and having a network of family and friends are critical to a child’s wellbeing.

The Bespoke Parenting Podcast is about and for parents who are tired of being told how to do it. There’s no one way to parent—there are as many ways as there are kids. Parenting styles, strategies, and philosophies should be bespoke—tailor-made to fit you, your family, and most importantly, your kids! Twice a month, Bespoke host Julie Gunlock is joined by a variety of guests who are parenting the way they see fit.
