  • Back-to-School Transitions: Sensory & Emotional Survival Guide

    Back-to-School Transitions: Sensory & Emotional Survival Guide
    Aug 22 2025

    EP:155 Hey y’all, it’s Dr. B! In this episode, I’m getting real about the rollercoaster of emotions and sensory overload that comes with the back-to-school transition—for both our kids and ourselves. I share my own journey as a parent, from craving structure to embracing the beautiful chaos of summer, and how I’ve learned to support my children (and myself) through big changes. We dive into why our brains crave routine, how to spot sensory struggles in your kids, and practical ways to create a sensory safe zone at home and advocate for one at school. I also talk about prepping for smoother mornings, building in calming rituals, and the power of repair and self-compassion when things don’t go as planned. Remember, it’s okay to give yourself grace—these first few weeks are all about support, not perfection.

    If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a fellow parent, leave a review, and let me know your favorite back-to-school tip! Let’s make this school year a little smoother, together.

  • Parenting, Camp and Self-Care

    Parenting, Camp and Self-Care
    Aug 15 2025
    EP:154 Hey Thrive Community! As a solo parent, I know firsthand how hard it can be to juggle all the roles—provider, nurturer, chef, chauffeur, and more—while still trying to find moments for myself. In this episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of sending my kids to camp for a month, the grief and relief that come with having time alone, and the pride I feel watching my children grow and thrive in new environments. I share my truth about the challenges of solo parenting, the importance of honoring the hard moments, and why it’s okay to admit that this journey isn’t always easy. If you’re a parent who sometimes feels overwhelmed or alone, I hope my story reminds you that your feelings are valid and you’re not alone.

  • Road tripping to Colorado with Brooke and Carter

    Road tripping to Colorado with Brooke and Carter
    Aug 8 2025

    EP:153 Hey Thrive Community!

    In this episode of the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my unforgettable road trip with Carter. From spontaneous adventures through Santa Fe, Taos, Estes Park, and Crested Butte, to hiking breathtaking trails and even buying my dream vintage 1979 Ford Bronco (hello, Sally Joy Ride!), this journey was all about stepping out of my comfort zone, reconnecting with nature, and finding new ways to regulate and recharge.

    I open up about the challenges and joys of traveling without a set itinerary, the magic of seeing wildlife in the Rockies, and the importance of making space for adventure and healing—especially as a solo parent, business owner, and someone on a lifelong journey of growth. Plus, I share how these experiences brought Carter and me closer, and why it’s so vital to pause, reflect, and truly enjoy the ride.

    If you want the full itinerary of our road trip—where we ate, stayed, and explored—drop a comment or sign up for my newsletter! Let’s keep thriving together.
