I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

We talk a lot about setting boundaries with kids – and this is for good reason! Boundaries make kids feel safe, and it’s important that we show up as the sturdy leaders our kids need us to be. But sometimes our limits are less about safety and more about our own personal preference, which introduces some “gray area” into the equation of when to set a boundary with a child.
In today’s episode, I talk about how, while boundaries are super important in parenting, it’s also equally important that our kids feel like they have a voice. Our kids need to be able to express their needs and wants, share their opinions, and sometimes have influence in the parent-child relationship, and in today’s episode, I share ways to do this while still maintaining safety and sturdy leadership.
Here’s the thing: We don’t want our kids to grow up feeling like they always have to cave to what someone else wants. We don’t want them to feel like they have to do something just because someone else tells them to do it. We want our kids to know they have the right to take up space, and after today’s episode, you’ll understand what it means to give your child influence in the parent-child relationship without sacrificing safety or wavering in your leadership.

1 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
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.

1 Has Your Sensitive Child Been Diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)? Here's Why I Don't Believe in That Diagnosis (& What’s Really Going on With “Defiant” Kids) 19:28
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.

1 Parenting Reflections: Kate's Transformation: From Overwhelmed, Co-Parenting Single Mom Facing Daily 90-Minute Meltdowns to a Calm, Confident Parent of a Highly Sensitive Child 19:44
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.

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.

1 Parenting Reflections: When I Yell or Lose My Patience as a Parent to a Highly Sensitive Child—The #1 Thing That Heals It All (And Works Anytime, No Matter When the Mess-Up Happens!) 15:56
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.

1 Parenting Reflections: How I Stopped Asking "What’s Wrong?"—& Started Creating Safe, Low-Pressure Moments for Real Conversations With My Sensitive Child 15:20
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.

Birthdays are pure magic—but if you have a highly sensitive kid, you know all that excitement has to come out somewhere. My daughter just had the best Frozen-themed party, playing with her cousins and soaking up every special moment. But then… bedtime hit.

Because when big days end in big feelings, how we respond matters so much. So if you’ve ever had a fun, joyful day end in tears and meltdowns, you are not alone.

1 Why Your Sensitive Child Keeps Hitting (Even When They Know It’s Wrong) – & The #1 Game-Changing Shift to Gently Curb Aggressive Behaviors at Home 22:09
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.

1 Parenting Reflections: Emily’s Breakthrough: How the Right Parenting Framework Helped Her Family Move Beyond Yelling & Spanking to a Peaceful, Connected Home 26:34
Emily and her husband were stuck in a cycle of yelling and physical punishment—approaching parenting from completely different perspectives.

What happened next completely transformed their home. In this episode, Emily shares their powerful journey through my Chaos to Connection program—the doubts, the challenges, and the moment her husband saw that parenting without punishment wasn’t just possible, but more effective. With a clear framework, they created the peaceful home they had both been longing for. If you’ve ever struggled with differing parenting styles or felt like change was impossible, this episode will give you hope.

On a walk to school, tensions were high between my boys, and I’ll be honest—I didn’t handle it well at first. But then, I made an intentional shift, one that changed everything.

1 Parenting Reflections: Supporting My Highly Sensitive Child Through a Tough, Dysregulated Moment With a Simple (and Surprisingly Playful!) Approach 16:12
Some nights just feel impossible—especially for our sensitive kids. After a long, busy day, my almost 4-year-old was completely unraveling. She was overtired, overwhelmed, and had just hurt herself in the car. Every little thing was setting her off, and no matter what I did, the tears kept coming. In this episode, I’m sharing how I held space for her big feelings, even when it was hard. Most of us weren’t allowed to cry openly as kids, so watching our own children fall apart can bring up so much for us. But staying present in these moments, rather than shutting them down, is what helps our kids feel truly safe.

1 Why Gentle Parenting Isn’t Working for Your Sensitive Child (& 3 Shifts to Help You Parent More Effectively!) 16:30
Gentle parenting is often imagined as staying calm, speaking softly, and always keeping our cool—but that version of it just doesn’t work for highly sensitive kids. In fact, if you’ve ever tried to white-knuckle your way through frustration, you know it doesn’t help. Sensitive kids pick up on everything, and when we suppress our emotions, it can actually fuel more meltdowns, not prevent them. In this episode, we’re challenging the idea that gentle parenting means never showing big emotions. It’s not about ignoring your feelings or forcing yourself to stay calm at all costs. Instead, it’s about being real—acknowledging your emotions, processing them in a healthy way, and modeling true emotional regulation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at gentle parenting because you still get frustrated, this episode will be a game-changer. Let’s reframe what it really means to show up for our sensitive kids—without denying our own emotions in the process.

1 Parenting Reflections: How to Deal When You’re Super Triggered: Here’s How I Recovered From a Tough Parenting Moment & Used It to Build Emotion Regulation 14:26
We all have those moments—something small happens, and suddenly, we’re way more upset than we “should” be. For me, it was a dirty towel placed back in the clean pile, and I couldn’t shake the frustration. Even though I knew it wasn’t really about the towel, I felt stuck in my reaction, and it was pulling me away from the kind of parent I want to be. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened, why little things can feel so triggering, and what I did to reset (spoiler: it wasn’t just taking deep breaths). If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling over something that seems minor, you’re not alone. Parenting sensitive kids comes with big emotions—ours included. But when we understand our triggers and give ourselves space to regroup, we can show up the way we truly want to. Next time you’re feeling frustrated, try these simple shifts to reset, reconnect, and show up as the parent you want to be.

1 The Truth About Meltdowns: Why They’re Not Just a Phase (& the Only Way to Truly Break Free from the Meltdown Cycle!) 17:18
Many parents assume their sensitive kids will eventually outgrow meltdowns—but what if that’s just not the case? Today we’re diving into why big feelings don’t just disappear with time and why trying to fix or reason kids out of their emotions doesn’t actually help. Meltdowns aren’t just overreactions to small stressors—they happen because kids have been holding in big emotions all day, and they don’t yet have the skills to manage them. The problem isn’t the feelings themselves but the lack of tools to process them. So, what can we do? Tune in as we explore how to truly support our kids through meltdowns, helping them build the skills they need instead of just hoping they’ll "grow out of it." When we shift our approach, we create a space where our kids feel safe with their emotions—and that changes everything.

1 What's the Difference Between High Sensitivity and Autism? Is My Highly Sensitive Child Neurodivergent? Understanding the Differences, Overlap, and Nuance to Best Support Your Sensitive Child 41:04

These are tricky and sometimes controversial questions, especially when raising sensitive kids. In this episode, we’re unpacking what sensitivity really means and why it matters for kids and adults alike. The thing is, labels aren’t about limits—they’re about understanding.

Sensitivity isn’t a flaw; it’s often tied to incredible strengths and beauty. Through evidence-based insights and practical guidance, we’ll explore how to truly support the sensitive people in our lives—whether that means helping kids manage big emotions or giving yourself space to recharge.

1 Parenting Reflections: Why I Chose an Advanced Gymnastics Class for My Sensitive 3.5-Year-Old – Even Though It’s Not What Experts (Including Myself!) Typically Recommend 24:14
Why would I enroll my 3.5-year-old daughter in an advanced gymnastics class when everything I believe—and most experts agree—says that activities at this age should focus on fun and exploration? Today I’m sharing the story behind this decision and why I chose to go against the grain. This wasn’t an easy choice, and it certainly wasn’t about pushing my child to perform or excel. Instead, it was about following her lead, honoring her natural abilities, and recognizing when she was truly ready for a new challenge. Parenting sensitive kids often means rethinking the “rules” and trusting your gut, even when it feels unconventional. And here’s the thing: While I still believe in fun, explorative play for young children, there are exceptions where a more structured path can be the right choice. It’s all about balancing their enthusiasm with the right support to help them thrive, even when it’s outside the usual mold!

1 How to Handle Power Struggles with Your Sensitive Child (Without Getting Pulled Into the Tug-of-War!) 20:02
Power struggles with highly sensitive kids can be draining—but what if there’s a different way to handle them? In this episode, we’ll unpack why power struggles happen and what’s really going on beneath the surface. Hint: it’s less about “winning” or “losing” and more about understanding the underlying need for control. These struggles often arise when sensitive kids feel the need to assert control, whether to feel secure or to avoid difficult emotions. While it’s natural for them to draw us into these moments, trying to overpower them isn’t the solution. Here’s the thing: power struggles can be a chance to connect and guide your child instead of engaging in a standoff. Tune in to discover practical, effective strategies to step away from the tug-of-war, encourage cooperation, and make your child feel truly understood.
