Join us for a discussion on a topic that's at the heart of modern parenthood: the evolving portrayal of princesses in children's media. I sat down with Faith Moore, a stay-at-home mom, author and editor, with a keen eye for dissecting the messages our children absorb through fairy tales.

We kick things off by revisiting the enchanting world of princesses through the lens of "Frozen" and its (not so) subtle subversion of traditional fairy tale tropes. Faith's insights shed light on how modern interpretations of these timeless stories are shaping our children's perceptions.

We then explore the legacy of Disney princesses, from the classic tales like "Snow White" and "Cinderella" to the contemporary reimaginings in "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast." Faith unpacks the symbolism embedded in these stories, their importance and the cultural shift that's led to a reassessment of these beloved characters.

Ultimately, this conversation is about more than just princesses—it's about the stories we tell our children and the values they instill. So join us as we navigate the complex world of fairy tales and uncover the deeper truths hidden beneath the glittering surface.

Lastly, Faith gives us a peek into her book “A Christmas Karol”. From there we explore societal pressures and misconceptions surrounding stay-at-home moms.

In this episode of Psychobabble we delve into the intricate world of comedy, taboo topics, and censorship with Graham Linehan, renowned comedy writer and creator of iconic sitcoms like Father Ted and The IT Crowd. Graham's journey into controversy began around five years ago when he engaged in debates on Twitter concerning transgender activism, advocating for women's spaces and the protection of vulnerable children. Since then, he has faced severe backlash, including being "cancelled" and ostracized from the industry he once thrived in. Despite this, Graham remains steadfast in his beliefs, shedding light on the dark realities of censorship and public scrutiny. Throughout the episode, we explore the space between psychotherapy and comedy.

In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding the development of children and explore the impact of daycare on their early years.

Renowned clinical psychoanalyst and social worker, Erica Komisar, joins us from New York City to share her expertise. Author of "Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters" and "Chicken Little The Sky Isn’t Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety," Komisar sheds light on the importance of maternal presence and its role in neurological development during the formative years.

As we discuss the societal pressure on mothers to enroll their children in daycare for socialization, we confront the common belief that mothers alone may not be sufficient for a child's optimal development. Komisar addresses this dilemma, drawing on her extensive research and experiences, and explores the impact of daycare on children compared to playdates with other moms. Additionally, the episode touches on the alarming rise in personality disorders, particularly in young women, and ADHD.

In the inaugural episode of Season Two of "Psychobabble" with your hostess, Hannah Spier, we delve into the pervasive guilt and shame that plagues modern mothers. This episode explores the reasons behind the increasing psychological turmoil experienced by mothers today. Despite societal efforts to support and showcase empathetic narratives, mothers continue to grapple with guilt and shame, with societal expectations and unrealistic ideals identified as the primary culprits.

Dr. Spier aims to dissect popular beliefs perpetuated by modern psychotherapy and the failure of therapists to address the root causes. The episode challenges the postmodern perspective that dismisses guilt and shame as tools of oppression, advocating for an individualistic approach that often neglects objective truth. The narrative exposes the pitfalls of overemphasis on subjective experiences, offering a critical examination of the therapeutic solutions provided, from self-care to mindfulness practices.

The discussion further introduces insights from various experts, including renowned psychologist Gabor Mate, who explores the connection between guilt, attachment, and parental expectations. The episode scrutinizes the flaws in Mate's perspective and emphasizes the importance of guilt as a tool for personal growth and improvement.

As the episode unfolds, Dr. Spier addresses the societal construct of "mom guilt" and its impact on parenting dynamics, challenging the notion that excessive guilt is solely a byproduct of unrealistic expectations. The conversation extends to the role of mothers in society, the challenges they face, and the need for a nuanced perspective that considers both mothers and fathers in the parenting equation.
