Your kid won't sleep alone, melts down before soccer, refuses to order their own food, panics over mistakes, clings to you at drop-off and explodes when things feel uncertain.

The Mental Load Solution: The New Tool That *Actually* Sets You Free
May 6, 2026 · 44 min
You are not overwhelmed because you’re bad at balance. You’re overwhelmed because you’re carrying an entire operating system in your head for running a home and caring for kids, and no one ever taught you how to turn it off.

We’re Parenting Too Much, And It’s Backfiring. What We’re Bringing Back from 90’s Parenting
Mar 25, 2026 · 58 min
We need to say something that might make you uncomfortable: we are over-parenting our kids. We are over-helping. Over-entertaining. Over-scheduling. Over-involving ourselves in every single moment of their lives. And it’s not making things better. It’s making our kids less independent, less resilient, and less capable of handling real life. In this episode, we’re bringing back the parts that 90’s parenting got right (not the fear-based, emotion-dismissing, boooooorderline trauma parts), but the…
Stop Raising Obedient Kids
Mar 18, 2026 · 39 min
What if the goal of parenting isn’t raising kids who always listen…but raising kids who feel safe being fully themselves? In this episode, Kristin shares a realization that stopped her in her tracks: so much of her life has been shaped by the quiet pressure to be liked. To be the nice one. The agreeable one. The one everyone walks away from thinking, “Wow, she’s so kind.” From friendships to everyday interactions with strangers, that instinct to make sure everyone feels good about her has been d…

I Had Big Questions About Kids & Social Media. So I Went Straight to Meta.
Mar 6, 2026 · 48 min

Mar 4, 2026 · 40 min
If you’re raising a boy, this episode will light a fire in you - in the best, most empowering way.

Feb 25, 2026 · 43 min
If you’re a woman - or you love one! - this episode will change how you understand women’s bodies. Because here’s the sad truth: Women’s health has been built on research that largely ignored women.

PBS KIDS Isn’t “Just TV.” It’s a Lifeline, and It’s Being Defunded.
Feb 18, 2026 · 58 min
PBS KIDS is one of the only places in kids’ media that still feels like it’s made by people who actually like children. It’s the show your kid watches and then… somehow… can still turn the iPad off without acting like you just stole their life force (because their programming is slow paced, based on research enhancing your child's brain rather than rotting it). It’s the content that teaches real skills (letters, math, emotional regulation, empathy) without turning your child into a tiny zom…
