  • S3E6 Kids in Sports & Why Youth Sports Is the Best Investment for Your Child

    In this episode, we dive into why getting kids involved in sports from a young age can be one of the most valuable investments a parent makes.

    Sports is about so much more than winning games or learning skills on the field. It helps children build confidence, discipline, resilience, teamwork, and leadership — lessons that carry with them for the rest of their lives.

    As a coach and parent, Jamie shares her perspective on why youth sports play such an important role in childhood development and how the habits learned through sport often shape who kids become as adults.

    From building strong work ethic to learning how to push through challenges, youth sports provides experiences that help kids grow both mentally and emotionally.

    If you’re a parent considering sports for your child or already navigating the world of youth athletics, this episode is for you.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • Why youth sports matter for kids

    • The long-term benefits of sports for children
    • Confidence and discipline through athletics
    • Life lessons kids learn from playing sports
    • Why sports is an investment in your child’s future

  • S3E5 When Your Kid Gets Bullied: How We Thought We’d React vs Reality

    Nobody tells you how emotional parenting can get until it actually happens.

    In this episode of Wild Thoughts Podcast, we talk about the first time our kid experienced what felt like bullying — and how completely unprepared we were for it.

    Before becoming parents, we all imagine how we’d handle these situations: calm, logical, wise… right?

    Yeah… not exactly what happened.

    We dive into:

    • The moment we realized something was wrong
    • How we thought we’d react vs how we actually reacted
    • The emotions that hit you as a first-time parent
    • What we learned about kids, conflict, and letting them grow
    • Advice for other parents dealing with similar situations

    Parenting doesn’t come with a playbook, sometimes you just figure it out as you go.

    If you’re a parent navigating playground drama, toddler emotions, or your own protective instincts… this episode is for you.
