Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

We all want our kids to feel safe coming to us when they’re struggling. We want them to talk to us about their problems, tell us how they’re feeling, and generally keep us up to date on their lives. But how do we create the sort of parent-child relationship where our kids feel safe sharing even the hard stuff with us?

In this week’s episode, I answer a listener who’s wondering exactly this, particularly as her pre-teen sons inch closer to adolescence. I uncover the single most important thing we can do to foster a relationship where our kids feel safe sharing even the hard stuff with us – and I share my 5 tips for becoming the kind of listener that will keep your child talking to you, even about the hard stuff.

Here’s the thing: Our kids need us, especially when they’re struggling. But sometimes as parents we inadvertently do things that make our kids feel hesitant or even unsafe sharing tough stuff with us. After listening to today’s episode, you’ll know exactly how to listen so your child will feel comfortable talking!

You know your child’s emotions aren’t something to fix—but in those overwhelming moments, it’s easy to fall into sneaky habits that quietly send the message, “Let’s make this feeling go away.” Especially with highly sensitive kids, the urge to soothe or solve can show up even when you’re trying your best to hold space. In this episode, we’re unpacking 5 surprising ways you might be unintentionally trying to “fix” your child’s feelings. We’ll talk about why society teaches us to suppress emotions, how that sneaks into parenting, and how to shift toward truly embracing your child’s full emotional experience. Plus, if you’re still wondering whether your child might be highly sensitive, I’ll tell you how to take the free quiz that breaks it all down—so you can better understand your child’s sensitivity and feel confident supporting it.

Co-regulation with highly sensitive kids is powerful—but it can get really messy. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to stay grounded when your child is overwhelmed, pushing you away, and drowning in big emotions. I’m sharing a personal story from a recent parenting moment that reminded me how connection often starts in the mess. It wasn’t perfect, but by staying close and quiet, I was able to support my son in the way he needed most. You’ll walk away with simple, practical tips to help you sit through the hard stuff, support your child’s emotional release, and tune in to what they really need—even when it’s tough.

When Someone in the Family Is Struggling—Here’s How to Talk to Your Highly Sensitive Child About Hard Dynamics (Without Shame or Blame) 21:24

۷ weeks پیش21:24

21:24

When a family member is struggling—or no longer part of the picture—it can be hard to know how (or if) to talk about it with your child. But with highly sensitive kids who notice everything, silence often feels heavier than the truth. In this episode, we’re exploring how to gently and honestly talk about tough family dynamics in a way that feels supportive and rooted in connection. Inspired by a listener’s powerful question, we’ll talk about what to say when a loved one cuts off communication, behaves unpredictably, or struggles with emotional regulation or substance use. You'll hear why protecting our kids from all hard things isn’t the goal—and how sharing just enough can actually help them feel safer. If you grew up in a family that withheld information “to protect you,” this episode offers a gentle, honest way to start breaking that cycle—while honoring both your child’s sensitivity and their need for truth.

Some parenting moments feel impossible—and in this episode, I’m sharing one of the hardest I’ve had in a long time. It was a perfect storm of exhaustion, overwhelm, and a tough transition for my oldest, who’s struggling with the shift to middle school. When a big emotional explosion hit right at dinnertime, I didn’t handle it perfectly—but what happened next changed everything. I’m pulling back the curtain on what I did wrong, what I did right, and how I turned a moment of chaos into connection. Because let’s be real—parenting highly sensitive kids is a rollercoaster. The key is learning to see what’s underneath their big emotions so you can respond in a way that actually helps. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting it right, this episode is your reminder that even the hardest moments can lead to powerful breakthroughs.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is one of those labels that can feel heavy and confusing—especially if you’re parenting a highly sensitive child who seems to check all the boxes. But what if the real issue isn’t defiance at all? In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s really going on with kids who show ODD symptoms and why so many sensitive kids fit this description. Today I’m getting honest about why I don’t believe in ODD as a diagnosis—and hear why I think it does more harm than good. Instead of focusing on “fixing” challenging behaviors, let’s unpacks what’s driving them in the first place and what kids actually need when they push back the hardest. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or even judged because of your child’s big reactions, this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Let’s rethink the way we see these behaviors—and discover a more compassionate, effective way to support our kids.

Kate was at her breaking point. As a single parent navigating co-parenting while carrying most of the parenting load, she felt completely overwhelmed—especially when her highly sensitive daughter was having 90-minute meltdowns every single day. Daycare pickup was a battle, and nothing she tried seemed to help. She knew something had to change, but she had no idea where to start. In this episode, Kate gets real about her journey from daily exhaustion to finally feeling calm and confident in parenting her sensitive child. She shares why she made the bold decision to invest in support—choosing her family’s well-being over saving for a car—and how that one choice transformed everything. Now, instead of walking on eggshells, she knows exactly how to handle the meltdowns, and parenting feels lighter, easier, and even enjoyable. If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely hanging on, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Kate’s story is proof that real change is possible—and that you don’t have to keep doing this alone.

You try so hard to stay calm, but somehow, the yelling keeps happening. You regret it, swear it won’t happen again—yet the next day, there it is. Sound familiar? The truth is, the real reason you’re yelling isn’t what you think. In this episode, we’re getting to the root of those big reactions. I’m breaking down the hidden “traps” that keep parents stuck in the yelling cycle, why traditional advice falls short, and the key shift that actually makes a difference. It’s not about trying harder—it’s about seeing what’s really keeping you stuck. Once you recognize the patterns, you can finally break free and show up the way you want to.

We all mess up as parents—it’s inevitable. No matter how much we read, learn, or try our best, perfect parenting doesn’t exist (trust me, I’ve checked!). But here’s the good news: there’s one simple yet powerful thing we can do that truly changes everything, no matter how big or small the mistake. In this episode, we’re talking about the most important tool you have for repairing those tough moments with your child. Because what happens after we lose our cool matters even more than the moment itself—and how we respond can either bring us closer or create more distance. So if you’ve ever ended the day with that sinking feeling, wishing you could rewind, or wondering if you’ve messed up too much, take a deep breath. There’s no expiration date on making things right, and these moments—when handled well—can actually strengthen your bond with your child in ways you never expected.

Sometimes, the best conversations with our kids happen when we’re not asking direct questions—when we create space for them to open up on their own terms. Recently, I found the perfect low-pressure moment with my son, and what he shared with me was something I never would’ve gotten from a sit-down heart-to-heart. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to stop pushing for answers and instead make space for my sensitive kid to talk when he’s ready. I’ll walk you through what this looked like for us, how I practiced active listening (even when I wanted to jump in!), and why this shift has made our connection stronger than ever. If your child shuts down when you ask, “What’s wrong?” or struggles to share their feelings, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to create moments where your child wants to open up—without pressure, expectations, or an agenda. Just an open, safe space to talk.

In this episode, we’re diving into 3 sneaky, but ever-so-present, signs that you’re operating in survival mode as a parent to a highly sensitive child.

Birthdays are pure magic—but if you have a highly sensitive kid, you know all that excitement has to come out somewhere.

When your kid hits, it’s so easy to go straight to, “No hitting! Hitting is bad! We don’t do that!” But what if I told you that reaction might actually be making things worse? Yep, even though we’re trying to stop the behavior, we could be amplifying it without even realizing it. In this episode, we’re breaking down why kids hit, why they often already feel bad about it, and how our go-to responses might be adding fuel to the fire. Your child isn’t hitting because they don’t know it’s wrong—they literally can’t stop themselves in the moment. So what if, instead of just shutting it down, we helped them through it in a way that actually works? I’m sharing the #1 shift you need to make to see less hitting and fewer aggressive behaviors in your home. No shame, no endless power struggles—just a simple change that will make a huge difference for you and your child.
