This episode is dedicated to all those who are (or will be!) raising girls. With all the pressure and societal expectations placed on our collective shoulders about what a girl "should" be and how a girl "should" behave, how do we move forward confidently in the direction we know to be right? How do we model self-confidence, self-love, independence, strength, and respect? We spoke with Dr. Cara Reeves, a clinical psychologist and executive member of Girlology - a fact-based, physician-designed health education resource for girls and their parents - about just these questions and left with a lot more clarity and confidence.

In a recent episode of the What I Wish I Knew podcast, relationship experts Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman shared practical, realistic tools for strengthening your relationship after having kids. Their core message is simple but powerful: you and your partner are on the same team — even when it doesn’t feel like it.

If you’re parenting young kids and wondering why your relationship feels harder than it used to… you’re not imagining it.

Kids change everything — including your partnership. Between sleep deprivation, mental load, nonstop logistics, and hearing “mom” or “dad” approximately one thousand times a day, even the strongest relationships can slip into stress, resentment, and reactive communication.

TW: Pregnancy loss & infertility.

We sat down with Dr. Jessica Zucker—psychologist, author, and creator of the #IHadaMiscarriage movement—for a conversation about the silence surrounding pregnancy loss, infertility, and grief (among other experiences.) We learned about how deeply conditioned that silence is and the true cost of carrying these feelings alone.

Jessica shares why speaking your truth matters, how story-sharing can be healing (without necessarily being performative), and what it can look like to finally break the silence.

This episode gets a little heavy at times, but it's deeply human.

We sat down with Dr. Allison Mell (pediatric physical therapist, founder of Tots on Target, and the internet’s favorite “don’t panic, your kid is fine” voice) to talk about baby milestones in a way that was truly no-stressie. Allison has a gift for helping parents understand what actually matters when your baby rolls, crawls, stands, or… refuses to do any of the above on the timeline you have in your head.

We dig into why independent floor time is a superpower, the stages of learning to walk, whether shoes are a go or no-go, and much more. Most importantly, we talk about why watching your kid rather than obsessing over a milestone is the way to go.

C-sections are super common — in fact, they account for over a third of all deliveries in the U.S. as of 2024. But for something so normal, there’s still a ton of mystery (and stigma) around them. People whisper about “emergency C-sections,” throw around words like “failed labor,” or talk about them like they’re the “easy way out.” Spoiler: they’re not.

We sat down with Dr. Jen Wagner, an anesthesiologist, and Bethany Scott, co-hosts of The C-Section Experience podcast, to talk through what actually happens during a C-section, what recovery looks like, and what every parent really wishes they knew beforehand.
