Podcast by Christian & Yvette Galaviz

The Imperfect Parents

Hey you guys! We’re Christian and Yvette Galaviz—your real, messy, modern-day Millennial couple figuring out this whole parenting thing as we go. We come from two totally different worlds with completely different parenting styles—but together, we made a choice: to break the cycle and raise our girls with intention, love, and presence. Parenthood isn’t always easy, but it’s the most rewarding journey we’ve ever been on. And on this podcast, we’re diving deep into it all—marriage, healing, parenting, and everything in between. We’re not just sharing our journey—we’re helping others start theirs too. As podcast mentors, we’re here to guide and support you in launching your own show, so your voice and story can make an impact too. Follow along as we grow as a family, break generational cycles, and help others step into the podcasting space with confidence and clarity. Welcome to The Imperfect Parents Podcast—where we show up imperfectly, but always with purpose. Let’s heal, grow, and create—together. Music produced by Tilla Da Hun ℗ 2022 In Finite Records

Crown Chakra: Trusting Life Again

The final chakra is here—and it’s the one that rocked me the hardest. The crown chakra is all about connection: to God, to life, to your higher purpose. But for years, I lived completely disconnected—anxious, depressed, exhausted, and angry at the path I was on.

In this episode, I get real about what it looks like when your crown chakra is blocked (think migraines, skin issues, and never-ending fatigue), how anxiety and depression show up across every chakra, and how I slowly learned to rebuild trust with myself, my marriage, and life itself.

From nightly “black table talks” with Christian, to laughing through ADHD meditation fails, to choosing to show up filter-free (literally and energetically), this conversation is the messy, funny, and raw truth about finding peace at the top of the chakra ladder.

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose, felt disconnected from your path, or struggled with trust, this one’s for you.

💜 Keep going. You got this.

Would You Say That to Little You? (Marriage, Parenting, and Old Wounds)

You know that moment when your spouse sighs and your brain instantly writes a whole novel about how they’re annoyed with you?

Yeah, same. In this episode, I get real about my period spirals, my fear of being “too much,” and the gut-punch moment when Christian held up a picture of little me and asked, “Would you call her a failure?”

Spoiler: I cried. This one’s for every millennial parent who’s ever felt like they’re failing but keeps showing up anyway.

From laughing through hair dye to surviving loud snoring nights, this is a real look at millennial marriage, messy, funny, sometimes chaotic, but built on soul-deep trust.

Periods, Razors & Raising Badass Daughters

Middle school is like a reality show we didn’t sign up for but here we are, raising daughters in the thick of hormones, periods, and shaving conversations while also trying to teach them their worth in a world that’s constantly testing it. In this episode, I get raw about the chaos, the energy-draining moments, and the lessons I want my girls to learn earlier than I ever did. From Taylor Swift’s advice on protecting energy to giving our girls permission to love themselves loudly while giving zero f***s about outside noise we’re talking about raising mind-strong, badass daughters who will grow up unapologetically themselves.

Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: The Third Eye Chakra Episode

As millennial parents, we’re surrounded by noise, Google searches that convince us our kids are dying, Instagram moms with picture perfect routines, and endless opinions about what we ‘should’ be doing. No wonder we’re constantly second-guessing ourselves.

In this episode, I’m talking about the third eye chakra the part of us that governs intuition, insight, and emotional clarity. When it’s blocked, it shows up as fear, doubt, and overthinking. When it’s open, it helps us trust ourselves, trust our parenting, and actually enjoy the present moment.

I’ll share how this shows up for parents today, why we get stuck in fear-based thinking, and simple tools to strengthen your intuition so you stop looking outward for answers you already have inside.

If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling down the Google rabbit hole at 2am, or needing ten opinions before making a parenting decision this episode is for you.

Keep going, you got this.
