AI can code better than most programmers now. So why are we still pushing coding camps for kids? A honest look at whether learning to code still matters—or if we're preparing them for jobs that won't exist.

AI is everywhere—even in our kids’ homework. In this episode, I explore whether AI will make our kids lazy or powerful, and how we can teach them to use it wisely—building curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and resilience in a world full of instant answers.

AI can do math, write, and code—but it can’t think, feel, or create like humans. In this episode, I explore what skills truly matter for kids today: creativity, critical thinking, empathy, adaptability, and ethics—and how to raise kids ready for the AI era.

We stopped doing big birthday parties—and it changed everything. Less stress, more presence, and real memories. Join me as I share why opting out of the birthday party chaos taught my kids—and me—that love isn’t measured in decorations or goodie bags.

When Your Kids Become Your Mirror is a raw reflection on being called out by your child—and realizing they’re right. A moment at the dinner table exposes distraction, shame, and the hard truth about presence, phones, and what our kids are really asking for: to be seen.

The gifted program letter came home. I threw it in the recycling. My kid isn't gifted and I'm relieved. This episode: what "average" gave me and my husband that gifted kids don't get, the gifted kid burnout pipeline, and why I'm choosing curiosity over exceptionalism. Average is not a problem to solve. #GiftedKids #AverageIsOkay #ParentingPressure #GiftedBurnout #AchievementCulture #NormalKids #ParentingChoices #RaisingHumans

I was 38 when I saw a post about ADHD in women and thought "wait, that's me." Smart but unfocused. Capable but can't finish tasks. Told I had potential if I'd just try harder. What if I've had ADHD my entire life and nobody noticed? This episode: the clues I missed, how it's affected my parenting, and why I'm finally getting evaluated. For everyone who's wondered "why is basic life so hard for me?" #AdultADHD #ADHDWomen #LateDiagnosis #ADHDParenting #Neurodivergent #ADHDAwareness #RaisingHumans

It's 5:47 PM and I hand my kids the iPad so I can make dinner without losing my mind. Right on cue, the guilt arrives. "You're a bad mom. You're rotting their brains." You know what? I'm done. This episode: why the screen time rules are impossible, what the research actually says, and why I'm choosing sanity over sanctimony. The iPad babysitter is staying. The guilt is going. #ScreenTime #iPadBabysitter #ParentingGuilt #ScreenTimeRules #WorkingParent #RealParenting #GoodEnoughParenting #RaisingHumans

Everyone's kid is in travel sports. Mine aren't in ANY sports. And I'm done feeling guilty about it. This episode: the travel sports industrial complex, the real cost ($10K/year + every weekend), and why I'm choosing unstructured childhood over elite training for 8-year-olds. #TravelSports #YouthSports #ParentingPressure #RecLeague #OverscheduledKids #ChildhoodMatters #SayingNo #RaisingHumans
