Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

It was one of those mornings—the kind where sibling arguments escalate, patience runs thin, and you’re stuck in the moment with no easy way out. 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. And here’s the thing: these shifts can’t just be surface-level fixes; they have to come from a deeper place.
In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what happened on that tough walk to school—what I got wrong, what I realized in the heat of the moment, and the shift that turned things around. We’ll talk about how easy it is to get stuck seeing only part of the sibling dynamic and why taking a step back can make all the difference.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle of sibling conflicts, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to handle these tough moments in a way that brings more understanding, strengthens your connection, and helps everyone feel heard.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You’ve read all the parenting hacks, tried the scripts, and followed the expert advice—but somehow, things still aren’t clicking with your sensitive child. The meltdowns keep happening, the challenging behaviors don’t seem to change, and the connection you’re working so hard to build still feels shaky. So what’s missing?

When this missing piece is in place, everything else starts to fall into alignment, creating more ease, more connection, and real, lasting change. If you’re feeling frustrated that nothing seems to “work” with your sensitive child, this episode is for you.

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.

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. She wanted a more connected approach, while he believed discipline meant spanking. It felt impossible to get on the same page, until they took a leap of faith: an 8-week commitment to no spanking. 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. Sometimes, all it takes is the right framework to prove that connection works. Tune in to hear how Emily and her husband made the shift—and how you can, too.

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. When nothing seemed to help, I made one final shift—and it completely turned things around.

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.

Brogan and Erik felt like they were walking on eggshells in their own home. Their 5.5-year-old son’s emotions ran the house—meltdowns turned into full-blown chaos, furniture was broken, and they felt trapped in a cycle of frustration and helplessness.

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
What does it mean to be a highly sensitive person? Is it the same as being neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum? 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. By recognizing your child’s sensitivities (or your own), you can support them in becoming their best, most authentic self. 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. With the right tools and a little compassion, sensitivity can be something to celebrate, not just navigate.

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!

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.

1 "My Sensitive Kid is Rude to Strangers!" -- How to Guide Your Child Through Public Encounters Without Tears, Screaming, or Embarrassment 18:38
We’ve all been there: you’re at the store with your highly sensitive child, and a friendly stranger says “hello” or asks a simple question. But instead of a polite response, your child might blurt out “no!” or “I don’t want to smile!” Inspired by a listener’s question, let’s dive into why these encounters can feel overwhelming for sensitive kids and why they react this way. We’ll talk about what’s going on beneath those big reactions, how overstimulation affects them, and why small interactions can feel like too much, too fast. It’s often less about rudeness and more about your child’s need for safety in busy settings. Here’s the thing: it’s easy to feel caught off guard in these tricky moments, making it tough to offer your child the comfort they need. But with a few simple strategies, you’ll be ready to handle these situations with ease. Next time a stranger stops to chat, you’ll know how to turn the encounter into a confidence-building moment—for both you and your child.

1 Parenting Reflections: My Sensitive Child Hit, Spit, and Called Me Names -- Here's Exactly How I Handled It to Build Lasting Emotional Resilience 16:44
We’ve all had those days when we’re pulled in every direction, leaving little time to connect with our kids. In this week’s episode, I share a personal win: the story of my 3.5-year-old’s meltdown after a day spent mostly apart from me. Between school, work, and conversations with others, I barely had a moment with her—until her emotions came pouring out. When those big feelings surfaced, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself staying calm and grounded instead of immediately feeling triggered. I drew on everything I’ve learned over the years to keep my cool and be present as she let out all her bottled-up emotions. Sometimes, parenting wins aren’t about what we fix but how we show up in the moment. I was genuinely proud of how I handled this situation, which goes to show the importance of allowing our kids to process their big feelings without shutting them down. It’s a reminder that sometimes simply being there for them is more than enough. FREE Breakthrough Call: https://www.raisedresilient.com/breakthrough Is Your Child Highly Sensitive?

1 When the “Calm-Down Corner” Isn’t Enough: How Overusing Coping Skills Can Fall Short for Highly Sensitive Kids (& What Can Help Instead!) 19:11
We've all been there: trying to help our highly sensitive kids use coping skills, only to realize they’re still overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m sharing why coping skills don’t always work for sensitive kids—and how you might be using them wrong without even knowing it. It’s easy to fall into the habit of asking your child to use a coping skill to escape big emotions, but that doesn’t teach them to truly cope. I’ll explain why it’s so important to let your sensitive child feel their emotions and how to guide them through those feelings. Here’s the thing: Highly sensitive kids feel emotions more deeply than others, and relying on coping skills alone can actually keep them from learning to process those big feelings. But with the right approach, you’ll help your child not just escape emotions but navigate through them with confidence.

Today I’m opening up about something that’s been weighing on me: the pressure to focus on academics at home. So many of us feel like we have to constantly teach our kids—whether it’s reading, letter sounds, or math—but I’ve learned that sometimes it’s okay to let that go, especially when it leads to resistance. I’ve personally felt how tough it can be when kids push back on learning at home. Instead of forcing it, I made the choice to step back. Letting go of that pressure has been a relief for both of us, allowing space for connection rather than conflict. Because here’s the thing: play is the real building block for learning and bonding with our kids, and it’s often overlooked.
