The Gentle Divorce Guide: Prioritizing Kids and Peaceful Resolutions with Kim Korven
June 23, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 41.6 MBPodcast Description Working with families for the past 20 years I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to relationship issues. There has been no shortage of relationship stories from life in the trenches, including a dad leaving in the middle of the night to go to Vegas just 3 days into postpartum! Despite its prevalence in society, divorce remains such a taboo topic. People can feel a sense of shame and failure when separating from a partner, and emotions are often runn...
What No One Tells You About Milk Supply

In this episode, we will explore some common reasons...

Today’s special guest Lindsay Dreyer was an overwhelmed business owner not so long ago, suffering from poor physical and mental health...

May 26, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 51.4 MBAs new parents or parents-to-be, we can spend hours going down rabbit holes trying to find the best information to support our birthing and parenting decisions. In a lot of instances, the articles people see online talking about controversial issues are heavily slanted towards the author’s own views and not necessarily backed by evidence. While most of what I talk about is related to what I’ve seen in the trenches working with families over the past 20 years, I am a strong believer in pass...

April 07, 2023 13:00 - 32 minutes - 45.2 MBTrans people’s lives are an almost constant part of our media narrative, yet the decontextualization of trans issues can often distort our view of the trans experience.

Raising Intrinsically Motivated Children with Megan Cordaro
March 31, 2023 13:00 - 27 minutes - 38.4 MBAs parents, we are called to value the challenging moments just as much as we value the inspiring moments. Both are extraordinary opportunities for growth. How you parent today has an incredible long-term impact on the teenagers and adults you create for the future. Whilst we tend to be intentional about many aspects of our life like what we eat, where we live, and where we work, we’re not always as intentional with one of the most important roles we will ever have: parenting. I ...
Are Dominant Cultures Skewing our Parenting?
March 24, 2023 13:00 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MBPodcast Description So much of what we believe to be true about how we parent our children is skewed by Western, dominant culture. A perfect example of this is potty training, where we’re told the day a child turns two years old is when you throw the diapers out. I even did this with my own son! But is this really developmentally appropriate for all children? After working with families for the past 20 years, I strongly believe most of us are better served when we incorporate some of...

You’re told not to worry about it and to embrace it as your time to bond. But should we really be resigning ourselves to ‘it is what it is’? This episode is by no means encouraging you...
How to Raise Upstanders and not Bystanders
March 10, 2023 08:30 - 16 minutes - 24.6 MBHaving been a doula for over 20 years now, I’ve seen the impact of the ‘mommy wars’ worsen significantly. How you deliver your baby, how you feed them, how they sleep…mom-shaming is everywhere. While social media has many positives, it hasn’t always helped people share their values in a supportive way. This made me think about how our children are being affected by this too. Our kids are exposed to endless outside influences that will shape their opinions if you don’t have a parenting mani...
