  • #43: If puberty is changing your tween, then...
    May 1 2025

    Picture this: You hear your daughter whisper through tears, “I want my old brother back.” Puberty has stolen the boy she knew, and answers from ChatGPT only fuel the confusion: anger, aggression, territory. All expected, it says. Everyone nods—but should they?


    This week, we dig into why easy answers do more harm than good.


    You'll hear the harrowing story of a boy whose whole identity was crushed by a book that taught him to fear his own mind—and how his parents fought to bring him back.


    What if puberty isn't about surviving a hormonal storm... but about teaching our kids to choose who they become?


    Come with us into the heart of adolescence—and out the other side.

  • #42: If you think great parents "stop & listen" to their children, then...
    Apr 24 2025

    Imagine this: You’re pouring your heart into parenting, but each attempt to “listen” leaves you and your child on opposite sides of an invisible divide.


    The advice to ""listen to your child"" & understand their perspective?


    It’s a trap, setting you up for a lifetime of blame from a kid who feels unseen.


    In this episode, we expose the dark flaw in modern parenting—treating your child as “other” risks a bond as distant as strangers. Through gripping tales of love’s raw unity, we reveal how separation cuts deep.


    We’ll show you how to “notice” as one, and how to stay connected through truly loving questions. Master unbiased questions to avoid the sting of disconnection.


    Parents, your tireless love shouldn’t end in regret.


    Tune in now to rebuild a bond that defies division, before the gap grows too wide.

  • #41: If you’ve ever said “How would you like it if I did that to you…?”, then...
    Apr 17 2025

    There you are—snatching a toy from your kid’s hand, just to prove a point. You say, “How would you like it if I did that to you?” But here’s the twist—what if they say, “I’m fine with it”?


    This episode peels back the layers of parenting tactics we think are harmless—and reveals how they’re built on failed psychology, institutional control, and fear. We dig into why “consequences” might be the most damaging word in your parenting vocabulary. Why sticker charts and token rewards don’t work. Why contrast—the same tool used in violent seatbelt ads—works disturbingly well on our kids. And why that should scare us.


    But there’s hope. What if, instead of threats, we asked: “What memory do you want from today?” What experience do you want this person to have with you?


    Join us as we trade fear for reflection—and raise kids who act from values, not just to avoid pain.

  • #40: If you want to be a "good parent", then...
    Apr 10 2025

    Imagine this: You blink, and your child is dangling from the top of a jungle gym. Your breath catches. One wrong move and—your mind races. You want to shout. You need to shout. But instead… you stay silent.


    Because deep down, you’re testing something: What if your instinct to help is causing harm?


    This episode lays bare the invisible tension every parent carries—the crushing belief that constant instruction equals love, safety, responsibility. We unpack how that belief, born of fear, becomes a trap.


    With raw honesty, we explore what happens when we stop directing our children and instead trust the chaos of their becoming. Featuring insights from Montessori and Alfie Kohn, this is the parenting story you didn’t know you needed—but won’t forget.

  • #39: If your child thinks Elsa is the perfect role model, then...
    Apr 3 2025

    There you are, within earshot of a conversation that stops you cold: a mom tells her little boy she hopes he marries an ""Elsa."" It sounds sweet, but a nagging feeling surfaces.


    Are we sleepwalking into accepting potentially harmful role models for our kids?


    Frozen is everywhere, its songs inescapable, but what dangerous ideas might be hiding beneath the sparkle?


    We tackle the Elsa paradox head-on. Is her story truly empowering, or does it glorify running away, shirking duty, and a self-centeredness that leaves others (literally) out in the cold?


    What happens when ""you do you"" becomes a justification for neglecting the impact we have?


    This episode digs into the dark side of beloved characters, questioning if our passive acceptance is setting our children up for a future where accountability melts away.


    Listen before the fairy tale ending turns sour.

  • #38: If you're tired of dishing out consequences to get your kids to behave, then...
    Mar 27 2025

    Picture this: You’re standing in your kitchen, exhausted. Your kid just rolled their eyes at you—again. You tried reasoning, consequences, maybe even a sticker chart. But nothing’s working.


    Now imagine this: What if the real problem wasn’t your kid—but the entire system you’ve been using?


    We’ve all been conditioned by behaviorism—rewards, punishments, control tactics we don’t even question. But what if there’s another way? A way that doesn’t rely on bribes or power struggles?


    In this episode, we expose the unseen grip of behaviorism on parenting, education, and even the workplace. We reveal why sticker charts, timeouts, and “gentle consequences” are just behaviorism in disguise. And we show you how to break free.


    If you’re ready to step outside the Skinner box and raise kids who act responsibly—not because they fear punishment, but because they genuinely want to—join us.


    It’s time to stop raising rats.


    Let’s raise incredible human beings.
