You need less noise…and more tools that actually work.
In this episode, we sit down with pediatric mental health nurse practitioner Raeanne Johnson to talk about what it really looks like to raise emotionally healthy kids—without overcomplicating everything.
Because if you’ve ever thought:

The real definition of an emotionally healthy child
Why most parents are overcomplicating it
The small daily habits that regulate your kids (and you)
How to handle meltdowns without losing your mind
The truth about perfectionism, pressure, and parenting today

May 05, 2026Hot Takes on Motherhood: Unpopular Opinions Every Mom Is Thinking
Today’s episode is a real one.
We’re diving into unpopular mom opinions—the kind that might make you pause, question things, or quietly say… “wait, I actually agree.”
From toddlers and extracurriculars to discipline, rest, business, and identity in motherhood—we’re sharing honest takes on what it really looks like to navigate life as a mom without losing yourself in the process.
We talk about:
Why toddlers don’t actually need extracurricular activities
The truth about balancing rest vs discipline
Why your life doesn’t have to disappear when you become a mom
The reality of business growth and motherhood (and the trade-offs no one talks about)
Outsourcing, asking for help, and letting go of “doing it all”
And… the school photo debate we didn’t know we needed
This episode is part conversation, part therapy, and part “say it out loud so we all feel less alone.”
If you’ve ever felt pulled in multiple directions, questioned your priorities, or wondered if you’re the only one thinking certain things… you’re not.
Listen now and tell us: which one do you agree (or disagree) with most?

March 24, 2026Parenting Expert: How to Help your Child Listen Without Yelling and Punishment
On this episode of the Doing It All Ish podcast, Morgan interviews parent coach and board-certified lactation consultant Clair Ashburn about toddler meltdowns, co-regulation, and reducing power struggles without rewards or punishments.
Clair shares her background transitioning from lactation consulting to parent coaching, then explains how kids’ nervous systems mirror parents’ regulation and why the goal isn’t perfect calm, but contained emotions. They discuss practical tools like:
Noticing and replacing unhelpful thoughts
Taking a pause
Getting “low and slow”
Using physical proximity
And keeping language clear, brief, and positive.
Clair covers common mistakes (escalating, disengaging, over-explaining), handling toddler hitting by physically containing impulsive behavior, why ignoring tantrums isn’t supportive, navigating sibling conflicts, and strategies for smoother mornings and stronger follow-through so kids cooperate without yelling.
