Hey guys - welcome to the very first Mini Nugget! These shorter episodes are for the things that don’t need a full hour but definitely need to be said. And this week? We’re talking about the word trauma, and how casually tossing it around might actually be making parenting harder. I’m breaking down the difference between Big T and Little t trauma, sharing what isn’t traumatizing (spoiler: your kid being mad about the red cup isn’t trauma), and why we need to stop walking on eggshells trying to protect our kids from every uncomfortable feeling. If you’ve ever worried, “Am I traumatizing my child?” - this one’s for you. Tune in, take a breath, and let’s bring some perspective back into parenting. Rock on.

(00:00:50) "People who are traumatizing their children don't care if they're traumatizing their children. So that's a really good litmus test."
(00:05:32) "Trauma is usually not about the actual event, but it is about what isn't said or done after the event."
(00:10:44) "We've become a trauma drenched society and it's just, it's too much."
