If you're deep in the toddler years—or bracing yourself for them—this episode is for you. I’m joined by toddler expert and coach Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood and author of a new must-read parenting book. We talk all things tantrums, meltdowns, big feelings, power struggles, and why every age in the toddler stage seems to come with a negative label (“terrible twos,” “threenager,” “f***ing fours”… you get the idea).

Devon explains what’s really going on in your toddler’s brain, why quick-fix hacks don’t work, and how to parent with connection, calm, and confidence—even in the middle of Target. We also talk about parental guilt, social media overwhelm, and why kids don’t need a perfect parent—they need a human one.

Whether you're handling back-to-back meltdowns or wondering how to support your toddler's emotional growth without losing your own mind, this episode is a deep breath and a warm hug in podcast form.

Matthew and Elliot Dürt joined us to share all about their unique journey to parenthood. They told us how to eventually chose surrogacy and egg donation with Elliot’s sister donating her eggs and Matthew’s mother serving as the surrogate. Their surrogacy journey brought them their daughter Uma! Matthew and Elliot are now dads in the thick of parenting, and they go over the joys and challenges of parenthood. Family, intentional living, and spirituality ground them as a family, and they hope they can provide hope to others that want to start a family of their own!

Physical therapy for babies and toddlers was a foreign concept to me until I became a mother myself and learned about the benefits that come with having your baby seen early when needed.

Today’s episode is all about baby and toddler physical therapy, milestones, and how we can feel empowered about when to seek the help and wisdom from someone like Dr. Mell of Tots On Target. We chat about rolling, crawling, oral ties, torticollis, and how to learn about ways to help your baby stretch at home and some baby massage techniques.

If you’ve ever wondered about your baby’s milestones or just wanted to know more about it when your little one is “supposed” to start doing things, this episode is for you.

We met with Dr. Krupa Playforth a few years ago to discuss the challenging topic of talking to children about tragedy and gun violence. Dr. Playforth is a board-certified pediatrician and mother who draws insight from her own experiences to provide advice to families. We explored the importance of giving our kids context, managing our own anxiety, and giving our kids the tools to feel safe and informed. It’s never easy to talk to our children about tough topics, but Dr. Playforth’s advice hopefully gives a little bit of guidance.

Every parent knows the cold sweat that hits when your child starts melting down… especially in public. The stares, the pressure, the mental spiral… it’s a lot. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell, the brilliant mind behind Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and the brand-new follow-up Big Kids, Bigger Feelings. We dive into why kids act out, how our own reactions shape theirs, and what emotional regulation really looks like in the wild- at Target, at bedtime, or on the soccer field. 

Alyssa shares tools that are truly doable (even when you're exhausted) and reminds us that our job isn’t to end the tantrum, it’s to sit with them through it. We also talk about parenting with a partner who handles emotions differently, supporting multiple kids with big feelings, and what emotional growth looks like between ages 5–12. 

Whether you're deep in the toddler phase or navigating grade school dynamics, this one’s filled with so much helpful advice and a good reminder that you're not doing it wrong, you're just doing it real.

Sharon Mazel had all kinds of advice for starting solids in this episode. We address common concerns like choking and gagging and how to navigate picky eating. Sharon emphasizes a relaxed approach and repeated exposure to new foods. When parents relax and focus on the big picture over the little details, our kids’ nutrition becomes a lot less stressful. Sharon hopes that her practical advice can empower parents on their own journey to starting solids with their babies.
