We look for variety of situations, and questions we can authentically weigh in on either from personal experience or from a helpful, global perspective. We're not experts or clinicians, and we can't always help with super specific family dynamics that we haven't personally experienced, so if your question isn't chosen it's not because we didn't read it or don't care! ♥️.
Listener Questions (Holiday Edition, Vol.1): Episode 79
Sheri asks how we keep gift spending in check, and whether we have any budgeting tips to avoid going overboard on presents for our kids. Kelsey wonders about simple advent traditions to start with her two little ones. Emily is lucky enough to have two sets of parents/grandparents in the town where she lives, which during the holidays can lead to feeling like you’re shuttling kids all over town and never slowing down to relax and enjoy. It’s our first Listener Questions: Holiday Edition!

Rosalynn let her five-year-old quit an activity she had begged to start and wonders how to handle the same situation as kids get older and the commitment-stakes get higher for sports and activities. Tessa asks about helping a trio of girl cousins get along without forcing inclusiveness or letting hurt feelings dominate. Finally, we talk about weaning a breastfeeding toddler as suggested by an anonymous participant in our listener survey. Join us for another round of Listener Questions!
Listener Questions (Vol.3): Episode 65
First we hear from Becky, whose son is going through a tough phase of fears and anxieties that are dominating the household mood and her energy. Then we tackle Claire’s sticky situation involving wild kids, a restaurant, and a big family reunion. Finally, we help new mom Amanda think through her decision to co-sleep.
Listener Questions (Vol.2): Episode 52
Asking for help with childcare, close friends with dramatically different parenting styles, handling kids’ big emotions with elementary school friendship struggles, and how to stop apologizing for where you are in life/motherhood and embrace the chaos with confidence. It’s another Listener Q & A show!
Listener Questions (Vol.1): Episode 41
We get so many great questions from listeners, and sometimes it doesn’t work to devote a whole episode to them. So we decided to take on four questions submitted by listeners: listen as we chat about room-sharing siblings, planning first birthday parties, feeling left out when you have your kids earlier or later than your friends do, and the evolution of playdates.
