Let’s discuss aging parents, toxic parents, narcissistic parents, and setting boundaries.  Somewhere along the line, we start to parent our parents. They can seem demanding and childish…and that’s par for the course. Today we’ll talk about best practices in keeping your boundaries. Jamie’s Homepage - www.jamieglowacki.com    Oh Crap!

Let’s kick off by discussing the crazy amount of options that are drowning us as people and parents. Then, I’ll answer a question being asked by many families: what should I do if my preschooler doesn’t like school? This naturally leads us into intentional living with our kids…what that means and how we can get it.

Today I’m talking with Ilene Steinberg who founded and is the CEO of the Center for Lice Control.

I’m going to continue exploring “the village” and ways we can ask for help in hard parenting moments. This dovetails into when little ones need more stimulation because they’re bored and getting into trouble. And then we’ll talk about how fearful parenting can present.

Kids are wild, man. We can’t control their behavior but we can control our reactions. And that’s mostly the crux of parenting. Surfing the wave of difficult times without freaking out. We’ll loop in two awesome questions from patrons about psycho mom rearing her head and another about when your kid is clear about a need but asks in a crappy way.       Jamie’s Homepage -  www.jamieglowacki.com    O...

Today, we’ll start with a few more autumnal things, especially cozy food like braising. We’ll also talk about what little things we can do to plug up our own energy drains. One way to do that is brutal self care. In these early childhood days…you are in the thick of it. Self care isn’t necessarily pretty at this stage but more about making your life evenly paced and easier. Jamie’s Homepage - www....

Today, we’ll start with a small download about my epic Spartan Race that I did with Pascal. Then we’ll move into keeping your child well this fall…which directly leads into the sports question. Sports for kids under the age of six gets tricky and it’s important to know your “why”. Being intentional about it can really help. Jamie’s Homepage - www.jamieglowacki.com    Oh Crap!

Let’s talk about “the parenting village” and a few ways we’re making it super hard on our own selves. I’m also sharing a couple of Power Hour ideas for the end of the day as well as tips to calm your child before bed. And we’ll tackle an awesome question from a patron about her super shy child.

Yup… let’s talk about that after school restraint collapse and what you can do to mitigate it. And then we’ll super focus on how to fill your child’s Control Bucket. We all know they have an emotion bucket but they also need control, at all ages. We’ll talk a lot about not only their need for some control but why it’s so important to foster growth and independence. Jamie’s Homepage - www.jamieglow...

Today we’ll talk about yelling and listening in addition to a bunch of reminders such as: getting better sleep, how to really instill confidence and self esteem (in you and your kids), dealing with the back-to-school clusterf**k, and the parenting PTSD that’s so real if your child was born in 2020/2021.

Today, I’m speaking with Ruth Gordon Martin, a postpartum doula and the founder of Coddle.co (@coddledotco on IG). She is like the warm hug we all need after giving birth! The global baby industry is estimated to be 214.13 BILLION DOLLARS. And yet, hardly anything goes to supporting mamas after birth. No wonder we’re all wondering where the village is. Ruth’s company makes beautiful specific produ...

OMG. I’m geeking out for this interview. I’ve followed Michelle for a long time and just adore her story. In a crazy world, where eating highly processed, hyperpalatable food is considered to be “moderation” and a sign of having no food issues...Michelle healed her own body, mind, spirit, and athletic performance by bucking the dietician standards. Ya’ll know, I love bucking the system. She’s the...

Today is more for the older kids! How do we teach our kids to do chores? How can support our kids as they grow? And family relationships aren't natural; we have to work at them.

Today, I’m responding to some questions from past episodes. One topic that’s come up is that not all visiting/vacations are great for kids. I want YOU to be rested and having a good time, so set yourself up for that! We’ll also go through behaviors your child might have that are worrying you… when should you get an evaluation? And also touch on the unending treadmill of sickness in kids and what y...

Today, I’m thrilled to talking with Erin who is the fantastic force behind the Instagram page @Spinsandstomps. When she realized that her daughter didn’t seem to be hitting some developmental milestones, she became an unrelenting but graceful advocate. I say graceful because I’ve never met another person who is more so. I learned so much from her and how she approaches parenting her autistic daugh...

All right! I got to sit down and chat with Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe. We talk about how she accidentally became the influential food activist she is today. She takes on huge corporations, getting them to ditch their most toxic additives in food. You know I love all things food and this conversation was awesome. We also discuss the worst ingredients for kids.  You can find Vani at: foodbabe.com...
