About this listen

 What happens when your kid doesn’t follow the “normal” path? Or when your podcast co-host, who also happens to be your sister, calls you out mid-episode? In this raw, real, and surprisingly funny episode of the Spicy Brain Podcast, Megan and Michelle explore the emotional minefield of raising a complex kid, navigating resentment, and learning how to come back to each other in real time.From the Twitch stream chaos (hi new friends!) to deeply vulnerable moments about parenting, neurodivergence, and sibling communication, this one gets into it. You’ll hear about Gordon Ramsay, pugs, peanut butter sandwiches in your mouth, and a whole lot of grace. Plus: how reframing our language and expectations can help us love our kids, and ourselves, with more curiosity and joy.Join Megan on Twitch @spicymeggoFavorite line from the episode: “Bring it on, kid.”00:00 Megan’s now a Twitch streamer?06:15 A tender behind-the-scenes sister moment11:00 Parenting complex kids, and yourself14:40 Resentment blossoms in silence18:55 Open communication clears the way23:30 Changing the language, reframing the judgment29:45 Mourning the child you thought you’d have36:00 Gluten intolerance, acceptance, and real vulnerability44:00 The myth of the picture-perfect Christmas card50:00 Getting curious about who your kid really is58:30 “Bring it on” dopamine boost strategy1:02:00 Othering, unbearable feelings, and becoming a teamIf you’ve ever felt like you're doing this whole parenting thing “wrong,” this episode is for you.
