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.

We sat down with Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood and author of the upcoming book by the same name, to talk about one of the most misunderstood stages of parenting—the toddler years. Devon makes a convincing case that this stage isn’t just about surviving, but about understanding the brain growth, emotional regulation, and learning how to be a tiny human with biiiiiiig feelings.

In this episode, we sat down (again) with the brilliant Dr. Sarah Oreck, reproductive psychiatrist, founder of Mavida Health, and medical advisor for the FDA Cleared Natural Cycles fertility tracking app, to talk about where that six-week “all clear” even came from—and why it’s doing so many new moms a disservice.

We sat down with Dr. Corinne Low, economist and author of the new book Having It All, to unpack what “having it all” actually means for women today and why the BS version society sells us is impossible (and exhausting). Corinne blends data, research, and her own lived experience to show how much of women’s time is squeezed by invisible labor, why men and women aren’t playing by the same rules at work OR at home, and how redefining success can be both liberating and life-changing.
