In this episode of Fresh as a Mother, Lorielle sits down with Jamie Glowacki—author of the cult-favorite parenting guide Oh Crap! Potty Training—for a no-holds-barred conversation on one of the most anxiety-inducing milestones of early parenthood: potty training.

Jamie breaks down the common myths, emotional roadblocks, and surprising joys of the process, all while sharing how she went from teaching local workshops to becoming one of the most trusted voices on toddler transitions. Whether you’re knee-deep in potty drama or just looking ahead, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and big-picture parenting wisdom that will leave you feeling both grounded and seen.

Jamie Glowacki is a parenting and potty training expert best known as the author of Oh Crap! Potty Training. With a background in social work and decades of in-the-trenches experience with thousands of families, Jamie’s work is equal parts empowering and hilarious. She’s the mom of one awesome kid, Pascal, and brings a deeply human, no-BS approach to helping parents raise capable, compassionate humans (not entitled a-holes). Jamie believes parenting is hard—but it can also be sweet, grounded, and full of grace… with the right support.

Plus, we get into the heartwarming (and sometimes hilarious) role pets play in our families—especially the way they show up as emotional support for our kids. Come hang with us for a laid-back convo full of laughs, real talk, and lots of love.
