Being a Teen in a "Find My iPhone" Era Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

This year is going to be an emotional one. One of our kids is finishing their last year of high school before heading off to university—which means campus tours, big decisions, and all the feelings that come with it. Teenagehood looks so different now compared to when we were growing up. We were the generation of fun with endless parties, no check-ins, and parents who had no clue where we were most of the time. That secrecy was part of what made being a teen so exhilarating. But in today’s “Find My iPhone” era, with constant tracking, do teens actually feel more anxious than we did?

Parenting Unfiltered: How to Raise Confident & Capable Adults with Julie Lythcott-Haims Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

As we watch so many of you pack your teens off for university we felt it was the perfect time to bring back this epside! As Dean at Stanford, Julie Lythcott-Haims witnessed firsthand the toll that overparenting takes—students who were anxious, depressed, and unprepared to handle life when things didn’t go their way. In this interview, she offers a powerful alternative: a path to raising kids who are truly self-sufficient. Julie is the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult, the groundbreaking manifesto against helicopter parenting. To learn more about Julie and her books, visit julielythcotthaims.com or follow her on Instagram @jlythcotthaims.

The Tiny Thing That Changed Cat’s Life Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Cat did something small that turned out to be life changing! Sometimes the tiniest decisions can feel like the biggest shifts. So often we say “no” because it’s the rule, it’s the norm, it’s just the way things are done. But we get to make our own rules. And in the process, Cat had one of those “oh wow, I feel like a grown-up” moments. It really is the little things that matter.

Parenting Unfiltered: Body Confidence in a Digital World Aug 25, 2025

Show notes

A new generation of parents is waking up to how damaging social media can be for their teens’ body image. But when used thoughtfully, it can also become a tool for body confidence and empowerment. Dr. Samantha DeCaro, PsyD—Director of Clinical Outreach and Education at The Renfrew Center—joins us to unpack how social media shapes teens’ self-image. She shares practical tips on recognizing red flags for disordered eating, fostering body confidence, and creating a healthier digital environment at home. As Renfrew’s national spokesperson, Dr. DeCaro is a trusted voice in the field, frequently featured in media, on podcasts, and at national conferences. She also co-hosts All Bodies. All Foods., a podcast dedicated to inclusive conversations around body image and eating disorders. For more on The Renfrew Center, visit @renfrewcenter.

Menopause & Our Libidos Aug 22, 2025

Show notes

Menopause research is (finally) getting the attention it deserves. In this repeat episode we dive into an old article on reviving your sex drive in perimenopause and share our take. Our grandmas didn’t have hormone therapy, libido boosters, or fancy lubes… so did they just suffer in silence, or were they onto something we don’t know? We explore the options and share our thoughts. Disclaimer: In another life, we totally would have been doctors—but in this one, not so much. We may have gotten a few facts wrong in this episode!

University Tour Reality Check Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

Nat took Taylor and Olivia on their very first Canadian university tour and it wasn’t love at first sight. But now expectations are set, and we will be ready for round two with a clearer picture of what matters most. When you’re looking at schools, the curriculum can be amazing, but if the community isn’t the right fit, it can make the whole experience harder than it needs to be. Ask people why they chose the school, go to open houses, and pay attention to where you feel most at home — because finding your people is a big part of the memories you’ll take home.

Parenting Unfiltered: When Their Phone Is Their Lifeline Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

We’re bringing back this episode just in time for back-to-school. Our teens have grown up in a world where Snapchat has always been a thing, and there’s this whole secret set of rules no adult ever agreed to—let alone understands. So what’s the move? Taking their phone away isn’t it. Because like it or not, that little screen is their wallet, their bus pass, and their “call for help” button. It’s messy, it’s exhausting, and we’re over here trying to figure it out right alongside them—sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, always learning.

This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens. We've uncovered every parenting issue, so you don't have too.

Before You Say "I Do" Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

In this repeat episode we’re getting into the big convos couples should have before moving in, getting married, or signing on for forever. What actually matters—and what’s maybe a little overrated. Did we have all those talks? Probably not. But we’re sharing what we did cover, what we skipped entirely, and whether any of it even mattered in the end.

The ADHD Brain Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

We’re talking about what it’s really like to live in an ADHD brain—one that doesn’t always prioritize the way the world expects it to. It’s not laziness. It’s not incompetence. It’s just a different operating system. AI might be trying to recreate “standard brains,” but it can’t replicate the messy, out-of-order, last-minute, lightning-in-a-bottle brains. Those are the ones that will change the world. Value the people who don’t fit the mold. Life would be boring without them.
