  • #107 Stone Age

    What does the Stone Age have to do with EC? In this episode, I'm applying The Continuum Concept to elimination communication — and it might totally reframe how you see potty learning.

    Before disposable diapers, potty charts, and formalized "training." There was just… responding to babies. We'll talk about what our ancestors likely did, how modern culture shifted things, and why EC actually makes a whole lot of sense when you zoom way out.

  • #104 EC and...toothbrushing?

    Why do we treat potty learning like a huge event, but toothbrushing like no big deal? We don't bribe for brushing, we don't panic over missed spots. We just… keep doing it.

    In this episode I'm sharing why EC (and potty training) works better when we treat it like a normal daily habit — not a high-stakes milestone.
