Adult Conversation Podcast — Kids & Family
Adult Conversation Podcast

Based off her popular and darkly humorous social media pages, blog, and novel of the same name, author Brandy Ferner takes her love of adult conversation to the air as she spears the injustices of modern motherhood and womanhood while continuing her tradition of saying things out loud that others won’t. As a lover of truth and all things dark comedy, she and special guests partake in real talk about any and everything – marriage post kids, the never-ending micromanagement of kid screen time, friendship, sex, chronic-illness, Snoop Dogg, pop culture, mental health, the revolt of the aging uterus, writing, the joke that is perimenopause, reality TV, and more. This is not a podcast with annoying life or parenting advice that has it all figured out. Instead, Adult Conversation aims to break down the façade of perfect parenting and break down the systems we’re stuck in with its balanced mix of truth, wit, compassion, and validation – and can be considered a form of self-care, even if you’re listening in the God-forsaken school pick-up line.

Aren't We All a Little ADHD? No. Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I basically tell you all the surprising things I've learned about ADHD in the past two months and how it's affected my family. I have an outline (not just rambling!) and cover all the things I think you'd want to know and give lots of personal examples when talking about highly-functional ADHD, what felt cringy about the diagnosis, one thing my psychologist explained to me that blew my mind, something I used to say about ADHD that I will never say again, what I wish I had known, and what being medicated for ADHD feels like. Maybe take this one in parts, guys, because I didn't realize how much I had to say.

You don't want to miss this episode where I share some BIG news, and my close friend and guest, Britta Bushnell, helps me process it all, as she talks about the Apollo and Artemis myth and the mind-blowing way it applies to my news, and also to motherhood.

Feeling Other in Motherhood with Emily Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

My guest, Emily, and I talk about parenting a special needs child - the real deal of it, not just the saintly "special needs mother" archetype that can only be endlessly patient. Emily shares about her early motherhood journey and how she knew something was different with her daughter, the endless searching for answers, the lifelong theme of "othering" she's felt, and the elevated expectations, stress, and beauty that parents of special needs kids live with. We also discuss recurrent grief when milestones aren't being hit, how she broke apart while trying to hold it all together, and she explains what "heterospect" is.

There are lots of stats about pandemic divorce, but few personal stories because of the sensitivity of this topic. Lucky for us, fellow writer, Tara, opens up about her story and how it went down, the agreements she had about romance and soulmates, her insecurities about being a single mom, what's getting her through it, other people's opinions about her choice to write through her wounds, and more.

I See Dead People with Tim Braun Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

My favorite medium of over 20 years, Tim Braun, shares how his gift felt like a curse as a child, a dream that changed his path, and responds to my question about if we can contact my favorite dead famous people! He also answers the very light question of what happens when we die (and he has specifics!), shares what happens when he watches Forensic Files, and divulges his most memorable sittings of the past 23 years (PG and R-rated). This episode is beyond interesting!
