EP:119 As a former pediatric clinician, I've seen how parenting has shifted over the years. The pendulum has swung from strict to passive - but I've learned the right balance is key.

Carter and I have developed methods to empower parents and reclaim their role. It's not about being the "bad guy" - it's about equipping our kids with the tools to thrive.

If you're struggling, ditch the guilt and do what's best. Your kids crave structure, even if they don't know it yet. Let's work together to raise resilient, well-adjusted kids. I'm here to support you. 💪

EP:118 Today I'm so excited to introduce you to one of my beloved coaches, Maria Gonzalez. Maria's journey through our Thrive program has been truly transformative - from struggling to find her identity as a stay-at-home mom, to making incredible lifestyle changes and becoming the best version of herself.

Hearing Maria share her raw, vulnerable experiences and how this work has impacted her family is so inspiring. I'm honored to have her supporting our Thrive clients now, using her own story to deeply connect and guide others. If you've been on the fence about taking the leap, I hope Maria's words encourage you to trust the process. 

The work isn't easy, but the rewards are priceless. Let me know if you have any questions!

Xoxo,

EP:117 Hey there! 👋 In this episode, I’m diving into a topic I know so many of us can relate to: why certain noises—like our kids’ whining—feel SO triggering.

I share my personal experience with my colicky, high-needs son, Charlie, and unpack the science behind why those infant and toddler sounds can activate our brains, even as our kids grow. From our codependent bond to our brain’s “fix-it” mode, this episode is all about understanding these triggers and learning how to navigate them with compassion.

You’ll learn:

💡 Remember: It’s okay to feel triggered—what matters is how we support ourselves through it. I hope these insights resonate with you!

📝 Share your thoughts! What triggers have you experienced, and how do you manage them? Drop a comment or review, and let me know what other topics you'd love to hear about!

💖 Thanks for listening and being part of the Thrive Like a Parent community!

EP: 116 As a parent, understanding your child's sensory profile is crucial for providing the right support and creating a harmonious home environment. In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I'm diving deep into the complexities of sensory behaviors and how they can impact both you and your little ones.

Too often, we pigeonhole our kids (and ourselves) into simplistic categories like "seeker" or "avoider." But the reality is, our sensory needs exist on a spectrum, and we can exhibit a mix of different tendencies. By learning to recognize these nuances, we can unlock the key to better managing meltdowns, transitions, picky eating, and more.

I'll share real-life examples, break down the different sensory profiles, and explain why it's so important to gain a deeper understanding of our nervous systems. This knowledge isn't just for the kids - it can be a game-changer for parents too, helping us develop the coping skills and self-awareness needed to thrive.

So if you're tired of walking on eggshells, ready to ditch the one-size-fits-all approaches, and want to cultivate more harmony in your home, this episode is for you. Get ready to unlock the power of sensory intelligence and reclaim your family's wellbeing.

EP:115 On this week’s episode join me to dive into a bigger conversation about something that’s not talked about nearly enough—how often we as females and mothers put others’ needs before our own, especially when it comes to our health and well-being.

And I see that happening with so many parents these days - we get so caught up in the grind, in keeping up appearances, that we forget to take care of ourselves. And even worse, I see parents just zoning their kids out with screens, even at special events like concerts. Those shared experiences and memories are so precious, and I worry we're robbing our kids of that.

EP:113 On this week’s episode of “Thrive Like a Parent,” I dive into how yoga and movement help spark my creativity and provide clarity in my life. For me, working out isn’t just about fitness, it’s a way to connect with myself.

I share some personal experiences, including the challenges I’ve faced as a mom of two preemies, running businesses, and going through a tough beginning of divorce before losing Jonathan. These experiences have deepened my empathy for others.

I also reflect on the importance of asking for help. You are not alone. Allow those who love to be there for you and support you..

This episode is a reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles, and it’s okay to lean on others for support.

xoxo

EP:112 On this week’s episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I’m thrilled to be joined by one of our wonderful coaches, Dr. Maria Gonzalez. We’ll be exploring a topic that so many of you have been asking about—having a partner who travels.

It can be challenging to stay grounded and regulated when your partner is frequently away, and it’s easy for resentment to build up, making communication and communication tough. We’ll talk about the courage it takes to take ownership of your feelings, to recognize what your body and nervous system need, and to clearly communicate those needs to your partner.

No matter what your dynamic is, all relationships have their ups and downs, and it’s completely okay to feel everything that comes up—without guilt. Remember, you’re not alone. XOXO, Dr. B and Dr. Maria
