Deep breath, friends. This is one of THOSE episodes; the kind that starts off light and then shifts into something a little heavier, a little scarier, but ultimately really important. This episode was supposed to be Kristin and Tyler sitting down to chat about 10 years of marriage. The lessons, the growth, the things we’ve learned along the way. We even brought our podcast equipment all the way to Palm Springs. But before we could even sit down to record it, our anniversary trip took a turn we

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

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

2026/02/18

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 zombie who
