About this listen

Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.

  • Why Doesn’t My Kid Listen? (And What to Do Instead of Yelling)
    Jul 16 2025

    You’re not imagining it: Your kid isn’t listening. But it’s not because they’re defiant. It’s not because you’re a bad parent. And it’s definitely not because you haven’t yelled loud enough. In this episode, we reveal what’s actually going on when your child “doesn’t listen” - and the 5 research-backed strategies that will change everything.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why kids struggle to process directions (hint: it’s their brain, not bad behavior)
    • How giving your child just 8 seconds can increase cooperation by up to 40%
    • The common parenting habits that backfire—and what to do instead
    • The science of co-regulation, timing, and how to speak so kids actually hear you
    • What to say, how to say it, and how to stop yelling (without losing your authority)


    This episode is part wake-up call, part emotional gut check, and part masterclass in getting your kid to listen without fear, shame, or bribes. If you’re stuck in the repeat-yell-regret cycle? Press play. There’s a better way - and we’re here to show it to you.

  • How to Be the Parent You Never Had (And Why It’s the Hardest—and Most Important—Work You’ll Ever Do)
    Jul 9 2025

    If you’ve ever asked yourself “Why am I so triggered by my child’s emotions?” “Why does this feel harder for me than it does for everyone else?” Or “How do I raise emotionally healthy kids… when no one taught me how?” This episode is for you. Kristin and Deena go beneath the surface of parenting and into the work most of us were never taught to do: regulating, repairing, and reparenting yourself while raising your child.

    You’ll learn:

    • The real reason parenting feels so hard (it’s not you - it’s your nervous system)
    • The science behind regulation and how to actually build it in real time
    • What generational healing looks and feels like - in messy, everyday moments
    • Why grief is a part of parenting when you’re doing it differently than you were parented
    • The 4 tools to start breaking cycles, even when you’re overwhelmed


    This is the episode that helps you understand yourself. And when you understand yourself, you stop blaming yourself. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be the parent you needed.

  • The ONE Thing That Actually Matters in Parenting (And What You Can Finally Stop Worrying About) with Dr. Aliza Pressman
    Jul 2 2025

    Stop what you’re doing—this episode will change the way you parent forever. Kristin and Deena sit down with the incredible Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist and host of Raising Good Humans, to reveal the ONE parenting thing that really matters (hint: it’s not the perfect lunchbox, perfect summer camp, or perfect anything).

    What you’ll walk away with: The top thing that makes or breaks your child’s emotional health. What you can finally stop stressing over. Why your “C+” days are actually good enough. How to parent big feelers, highly sensitive kids, and yourself—with science-backed tools and zero guilt.

    This conversation is honest, hilarious, and full of the kind of real talk that makes you breathe easier as a parent.

    If you’ve ever thought, “Am I messing this up?”—you need this episode.
