Oh Crap with Jamie

A podcast for conscious parents who drop the f-bomb. A lot. We are the overthinkers, the dreamers, and the doers. We are parenting in a radically different way than those before us. 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. Not just with our kids but with ourselves. So you can be the parent you envision.

Oh Crap with Jamie ·

2026/02/05

When kids are dramatic, hurt, angry, or emotionally flooded, our instinct is often to shut it down with logic.“It’s not that bad.”“You’re fine.”“Stop overreacting.”In this episode, I explain why that backfires — and why leaning in to big feelings actually helps kids regulate faster.We talk about:How kids borrow our nervous systemsWhy minimizing emotions makes them persistThe power of exaggeration and humorHow going into your child’s emotional world brings them backWhy adult logic doesn’t work in

Join my February Strength and Mobility ClassThis episode is me saying the quiet part out loud.If you are overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted, reactive, or feel like you’re constantly one second away from losing your shit — this is not a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a “try harder” problem.It’s a nervous system problem.And it’s everything.In this episode, I explain plainly what I’ve been circling around for a long time:I can’t give you parenting advice if your nervous system is fried

A few weeks ago, I woke up and realized I had aged overnight — and I don’t say that lightly.My skin looked dull, saggy, gray, and smushed, and it wasn’t bouncing back.

2026/01/15

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to fall out of love with our own lives.Not because they’re bad — but because we’ve been conditioned to believe that if something isn’t big, optimized, impressive, or “Instagram-worthy,” it doesn’t count.In this episode, I talk about reclaiming joy, magic, and ownership over your own experience — especially in a world that constantly tells us someone else has the answers.We explore:How expert culture disconnects us from our intuitionWhy everyday

We’re living in a world wired for negativity: doom scrolling, AI overload, hot takes, bad faith arguments, and constant outrage.

Happy New Year, friends! In this episode, I’m closing out 2025 with a big reflection on how drastically my work with parents has changed. More and more, I’m finding that parenting “strategies” don’t work—not because the strategies are wrong, but because parents are too overstretched, too exhausted, and too busy to actually implement anything.I’m talking about lifestyle overwhelm, dual-income myths, overstimulation, screen dependence, boundary fatigue, kids in diapers at age nine because parents are

In this tiny bite-sized episode, I’m sharing a moment that absolutely cracked me open: standing in my kitchen, impatiently waiting 40 seconds—FORTY SECONDS—for a mason jar to fill with water. I caught myself thinking, “Ugh, I wish I could go do something else while this fills.” And then I had to laugh because… where the hell was I going?This episode is a gentle (and slightly heartbreaking) reminder that so many of us are living in fast-forward, racing from one task to the next, missing the tiny
