But our divine vision gets blurry cause...OMG...kids can be such a pain in the ass. Let"s work from the inside out, in a whole brain, whole body way to mitigate the crappy behavior.

248: Free Range Kids: Raising Braver Kids in a...

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/21

This week, I sat down with the one and only Lenore Skenazy — the “Free-Range Mom” who made headlines as “America’s Worst Mom” after letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway alone. We dove deep into the cultural shift that’s replaced neighborhood play with constant supervision, how fear-driven parenting is feeding the kids’ mental health crisis, and why the most powerful antidote to anxiety is actually giving kids more independence. Lenore shared hilarious stories, jaw-dropping stats (spoiler: the

247: Dinner at 3-4pm (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/19

Back-to-school season can be rough, and if you’re already seeing those epic after-school meltdowns, you’re not alone. In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about after-school restraint collapse—why kids hold it together all day only to fall apart the second they get home—and what you can do to ease the chaos. I’ll walk you through three key strategies (spoiler: food, no questions, and big play), plus why shifting dinner to that 3–4pm window can totally change the game for your family. If dinner has

246: Consequences vs Punishment

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/14

In this episode of Oh Crap with Jamie, I’m diving deep into one of the biggest pain points in parenting right now: consequences vs. punishment—and why so many of us get stuck in that messy middle where nothing’s working and everyone’s losing their cool. I break down why too many chances lead to dysregulation (for you and your kid), how to make consequences immediate, proportionate, and connected to the behavior, and why empty threats destroy trust. We’ll talk about natural, logical, and external

245: 3 Things to Ask Daycare When Potty Training...

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/12

If you’re in the middle of potty training and staring down the return to daycare—this one’s for you. I’m breaking down exactly why trying to “get it done” in 2–3 days before sending your kid back is a recipe for disaster, and what you actually need to ask your daycare before you start. From bathroom setups to accident policies to the myth of early self-initiation, I’m giving you the real-deal checklist to set your child up for success (and save you both a ton of stress). Because potty training isn’t

244: Why Are We So Tied To Labeling Our Parenting

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/07

Y’all, this episode is a full-on TED Talk (minus the PowerPoint). I’m unpacking all the trending parenting labels—gentle, respectful, intentional, sturdy, conscious, child-led—and calling out where we’ve gone off the rails. Are we actually parenting, or just trying not to do what our parents did? I’m digging into why we cling to these labels, how they’re often just code for what we don’t want to do, and why the real magic happens when we get clear on the do's—the actions that actually guide our

243: Change Begins With You (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/08/05

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m calling out the way the 24-hour news cycle—and the never-ending opinions that come with it—is wrecking our nervous systems. We were never meant to carry the weight of the entire world, and yet here we are: flooded with information, outrage, and heartbreak we can’t do anything about. I’m sharing why it’s okay (and even necessary) to unplug, focus inward, and come back to your own home, your own kids, and your own healing. It’s not privileged—it’s powerful. If you’ve

242: Potty Training: The Myth of Child-Led

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/31

If you’ve ever been told to “just wait until they’re ready” when it comes to potty training, this episode is your reality check (and yeah, it might be the hill I die on). I’m breaking down where that phrase really came from (spoiler: diaper companies), why it’s not actually child-led, and how it’s failing our kids—big time. I’m talking poop withholding, pediatricians who mean well but don’t get it, and the difference between struggling and not being ready. If you’ve felt confused, shamed, or

241: Why I Hate Scripts

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/29

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about something that’s creeping into parenting way too much lately: scripts. Everyone wants the perfect words to say, but the truth is—real parenting doesn’t follow a script. We’re raising little humans, not robots, and that means getting creative in the moment. I’m sharing why I believe the point of human existence is creation—and how that translates into your parenting. From ignoring expert noise to trusting that you’re divinely suited for your child, this is

2025/07/24

This one’s for the parents of boys. In this episode, I’m diving into a conversation we really need to be having—about our sons, teen boys, puberty, the rise of radical voices like Andrew Tate, and the pressures our boys are feeling in today’s culture. I’m not here to panic or point fingers, but to help us think critically about what’s really going on, how we’re showing up for our boys, and how to keep connection strong even as hormones hit and the Internet gets louder. From the truth about sex

239: Why You Should Cater to Your Oldest Child

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/22

Hey friends! In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about something I see allll the time in modern parenting—catering everything to the youngest kid. From activities to movie choices, it’s easy to default to what the baby needs... but it’s time we shift that. I’m breaking down what I call “aging up”—prioritizing your oldest’s stage of development instead of dragging them back to toddler-level everything. This episode is part pep talk, part reality check, and 100% permission to not make things fair

238: Kid Not Listening?

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/17

Let’s talk about listening—and why your kid not doing what you asked isn’t always about defiance. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to get your child to listen the first time (without yelling across the house or bribing with snacks). We’re covering everything from how screens impact your kid’s ability to hear you, to why consequences have to be immediate in order to work. I’m also diving into one of the biggest reasons your kid might be ignoring you: they simply don’t believe you’ll follow

237: Food for Thought (Bite Size Nugget)

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/15

Hey hey! In this bite-sized nugget, I’m bringing you a half-baked but important thought that hit me hard: when did we lose our connection to food—and what did we fill that time with? I’m talking about the slow erosion of food culture, from the rise of shelf-stable convenience to the fact that so many adults don’t even know how to cook anymore. We’ve got all these time-saving devices, but somehow we’re more burnt out than ever—and we don’t even have time to get our food, let alone cook it. This one’s

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/10

In this final part of the Village series, I’m going after something big: organized sports and structured activities for the under-six crowd. Look, I know it’s tempting to sign your kid up for everything from ballet to t-ball—but I’m breaking down why that might be doing more harm than good. We’re talking body awareness, emotional regulation, mental load (hello group chats!), and what your little one actually needs in this stage of development.

Hey friends! In this bite-sized nugget, I’m following up on our convo about phones and overstimulation—because this one really can’t be said enough. Today we’re talking about how your phone use (yes, even for “productive” stuff like emails and scheduling) is hijacking your nervous system and keeping you stuck in a hypervigilant, crouching-tiger state. I’m breaking down how your vision, your body, and your mental load all take a hit—and sharing a few simple, science-backed tricks to help calm your

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/07/04

In this final part of the Village series, I’m diving into one of the biggest culprits behind burnout and overwhelm: our phones. Yep, we’re talking overstimulation, the scarcity loop hijacking your brain, and how digital life is quietly (or not-so-quietly) wrecking your presence with your kids. This episode is part rant, part loving intervention—and I’m breaking down why your phone use might be making everything feel harder than it is. From social media to group chats, emails to photos, we’re

Overstimulation—it’s the #1 thing you guys told me is driving your burnout and overwhelm right now. So, in this bite-sized nugget, I’m breaking it down: what overstimulation really is, why it’s not your kids’ fault, and what you can do about it (spoiler: it starts with us).You can’t ask your kids not to be kids—but you can manage the extra inputs tipping you over the edge. I’m sharing tips on reducing mental clutter, rethinking phone use, why silence is magic, and how to stop trying to “get in the

Welcome to Part 3 of our Village series! In this episode, I’m getting super practical—because one of the biggest questions I keep hearing is “But HOW do I actually make friends?” We’re diving into what that really looks like (yes, even if you’re an introvert), how to find the people, why “jumping in” matters, and how to stop overthinking every interaction. Plus, I’m sharing tips for building connection in whatever stage of parenting you’re in—homeschooling, working outside the home, stay-at-home, or

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2025/06/24

Hey friends! In this week’s bite-sized nugget, I’m answering a question that came in after the “It’s Not Just the Hormones” episodes: how much fat do I actually eat? We’re getting into macros—what they are (and what they aren’t), why calories aren’t the be-all, end-all, and why women (especially Gen X and Millennials) need to let go of the low-fat nonsense we were sold in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I’ll walk you through how I approach fat and protein in my own diet, why it matters so much for hormones

Welcome to Part Two of our village series, where I’m diving even deeper into what it really takes to find your people. This episode is all about busting the myth that you need a perfect group to fit into—because guess what? You’re not a jigsaw puzzle piece. We talk about why we’re so quick to judge, how our personal values (and parenting ideals) shape who we connect with, and how to balance being picky with being open. I also share a bit about my own friendships—the ones that have lasted, the ones

We’re talking red light therapy (yes, I explain the difference between that $300 panel and the chicken heat lamp vibe), what I eat before coffee (spoiler: it's not a croissant), and how to approach probiotics without throwing your gut totally out of whack.
