Plot twist: we took an accidental hiatus. Oops. But we're back now and ready to fill you in on what's been going on— the community work that's been keeping us busy, and why January got away from us. We're also diving into some real talk about friendship, supporting each other through hard seasons, and the messy reality of trying to take care of yourself while also showing up for the people you love. Consider this your life update, therapy session, and reminder that we're all just doing our best.

It's the last episode of 2025, so we're doing what everyone does at the end of the year—reflecting and rambling. There's no real theme here, just two friends talking about where we've been and where we're headed. Thanks for sticking with us through our first couple of episodes—here's to more chaos in 2026!

Let's talk about sensory processing—what it is, how it works, and why it matters for literally everyone (not just kids in therapy). We break down the basics of sensory systems, then get personal about our own sensory quirks—the textures we can't stand, the sounds that drive us crazy, and the moments we've struggled despite being therapists who should "know better." We explain that everyone has a sensory system even if they are different scales.

In this episode we bring on a guest, Daiana Bernard a licensed mental health counsler, to talk about the stigmas surrounding mental health. We discuss cultural and families impacts as well as a community event we will be hosting with her, to help parents in their mental health journeys.

She is also starting her own podcast called "The Living Loss"

We're busting myths, correcting records, and honestly just venting a little. From "you just play with kids all day" to "they'll outgrow it," we're tackling the most common misconceptions about OT and SLP—and why they actually matter. We'll talk some of the wildest things people have said to us about our jobs. Whether you're a parent, a fellow therapist, or just someone who's curious what we actually do, this one's for you. Spoiler: it's way more than flashcards and sensory swings. Find the video version on YouTube

Welcome to the very first episode of Two Peds on a Pod! In this episode, we introduce ourselves, share how we ended up in pediatric therapy (and why we're still here), and explain what this podcast is actually about. Spoiler: it's comedy first, education second.
