363: Beyond Meltdowns: How the Double Empathy Problem Changes Parenting Forever
Ever catch yourself thinking, “Why is my kid the one who never listens, melts down in public, and acts like the rules don’t apply?” (Meanwhile, every other kid at the park seems to be happily eating carrots and saying “yes, Mom.”)
If you're constantly exhausted from power struggles, frustrated by the defiance, and feeling like nothing you try ever works—this episode is for you.
We’re diving into a completely different way of looking at so-called “difficult” behavior, one that might make you realize your child isn’t trying to be a problem… they’re actually wired differently. Enter the double empathy problem—a concept that could shift how you understand your kid, how you respond to them, and how peaceful your days feel.
This isn’t about letting go of structure. It’s about building connection, reducing the chaos, and finally feeling like you and your child are on the same team.
Give it a listen—you might just stop dreading bedtime tonight.

BONUS REWIND: 127: 5 Steps to Being a More Patient Parent
Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away.

Then you come into the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself.

360: Your Teen’s Not Lazy—They’re Disengaged (And Here’s What to Do About It) with Jenny Anderson & Rebecca Winthrop
Ever look at your teen and think, “Did I really carry you for nine months just so you could stare blankly at your laptop and tell me school is ‘pointless’?”
We feel you, mama. If your teen seems more motivated to scroll TikTok than turn in homework, and your every attempt to help is met with eye rolls, sighs, and a “whatever,” this episode is your new sanity-saver.
We’re talking to Jenny Anderson, award-winning journalist, and Rebecca Winthrop, education expert and Brookings brainiac. They literally wrote the book on this—The Disengaged Teen—and they’re here to explain why your teen might be stuck in “passenger mode” and how you can help them shift gears without turning into a full-time homework warden.
You’ll learn about the 4 modes of teen engagement (spoiler: none of them involve “enthusiastically completing chores”) and get real-life strategies that actually work—no nagging required.
Get ready to laugh, nod, and maybe even cry a little. Most of all, feel reassured: you’re not failing. You’re just parenting a teenager.
👉 Hit play now—your parenting pep talk awaits.
