    Trailer: Welcome to Authentic Parenting Mar 16, 2026
    Show notes

    Authentic Parenting is a podcast about breaking generational trauma cycles and raising emotionally healthy children by growing ourselves first. If you want to parent differently than you were parented, this podcast is for you. We explore how emotions actually work and how childhood trauma lives in the brain, body, and relationships. You'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, stay calm under stress, prevent burnout, and respond instead of react — so you can become a more patient, grounded, and happier parent. Hosted by Anna Seewald, psychologist, educator and parent coach, this show blends psychology, trauma-informed insight, and honest conversations about what it really takes to raise our children while growing ourselves.

    Perimenopause Explained: Symptoms, Hormones, and What Every Woman Should Know Mar 16, 2026
    Show notes

    Board-certified physician Dr. Heather Hirsch on the symptoms of perimenopause, hormonal therapies, and what women need to know about this often misunderstood stage of life. In this conversation, we explore common perimenopause symptoms—including anxiety, insomnia, mood changes, brain fog, and shifts in energy and why these hormonal changes in women are often mistaken for depression or anxiety disorders. Dr. Hirsch explains what happens to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause, when this transition typically begins, and how menopausal hormone therapy may help some women feel like themselves again.

    Are We Over-Diagnosing Our Kids? Rethinking ADHD, Autism, and the Search for Normal Feb 20, 2026
    Show notes

    What is mental health? What is a diagnosis? Are ADHD and autism genetic? And what happens to families when every struggle gets a label?

    In this provocative conversation, veteran child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Sami Timimi challenges many widely held assumptions about children's distress, resilience, and the role of experts. You may not agree with everything you hear — but if you're willing to stay open and curious, you'll gain a radically different lens on big emotions, learn how to support children without immediately turning them into patients, and discover ways to nurture resilience and confidence in everyday life.
