    Dylan Dreyer on Halloween Madness, Boo Bags and Embracing ‘Good Enough’ Oct 08, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer gets real about Halloween, from boo bags she didn't know existed until last year to costumes that change the week before (bacon is in, baseball is out). She opens up about the guilt of missing the school parade, the pressure to keep up, and why she's learned to lean in without going overboard. Plus content creator and Halloween superfan, Steffy Degreff, breaks down last minute costume saves, easy decorating ideas, and why "good enough" might be the best parenting advice of the season.

    Are Kids' Birthday Parties Out of Control? Oct 01, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Parent Chat, we’re talking kids’ birthday parties. Birthday season at Dylan Dreyer's house means a constantly morphing cake order (Ninjago is out, football is in), a calendar full of other kids' parties, and a lingering question: are kids' birthday parties just another arena for competitive parenting? Dylan gets honest about why she'd happily skip the big party, and what to do about "no gifts, please" invitations, gift-opening that's become a pile of bags, and a December birthday two days before Christmas. Whether you're hosting, RSVP-ing late, or wondering what to bring, the takeaway is simple: make the day about the kid, not the Instagram. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Inside Dylan Dreyer's House: Fall Sports, Softball Slumps & Parenting Advice Sep 24, 2026
    Show notes

    Fall means one thing for busy parents: sign-ups, schedules, and a whole lot of chaos. In this new season of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer welcomes viewers into her home to talk about the reality of juggling three kids' fall sports - baseball, soccer, flag football, and everything in between. Dylan gets honest about her own hitting slump in an adult softball league (and the irony of her 9-year-old son coaching her the same way she coaches him), plus her go-to hacks for surviving the sidelines, from the toiletry-bag snack organizer to knowing when to pull out the umbrella.

    Erin Andrews on IVF and the Long Road to Her Son Mack Aug 27, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of The Parent Chat, Erin Andrews sits down with Dylan Dreyer for a conversation as raw and real as it gets — from her long journey to motherhood through IVF and surrogacy to the messy, beautiful reality of raising a toddler while working one of the most demanding jobs in sports broadcasting. Erin opens up about mom guilt, the pressure to pretend you have it all together, and why she made a promise to herself to just be honest with people. Because as both women agree — putting that wall up all the time is exhausting.

    Raising Resilient Kids in a World That Makes Everything Too Easy Aug 13, 2026
    Show notes

    Dylan Dreyer sits down with TODAY Show colleague and chief consumer correspondent Vicky Nguyen — two working moms raising three kids who grew up in very different worlds but landed in the same place as parents. Vicky, who came to the US as a refugee from Vietnam at age two, opens up about the strict, authoritarian upbringing she's deliberately doing differently while also finding ways to bring a little of that grit back into her daughters' lives. They talk about keeping communication open with teenagers, why Vicky deliberately keeps friction in her kids' lives to build resilience, and the social media battle with her 16-year-old.

    Dylan Dreyer & FitDadCEO: ‘Complaining is part of the joy of parenting’ (April 2026) Jul 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Dylan Dreyer sits down with Dave Ogleton — aka @FitDadCEO — the TikTok and Instagram dad who's turned the chaos of raising six kids into hilarious, relatable parenting content. Together, they get into the parent you swore you'd be before having kids versus the parent you actually are: the rules you said you'd never break, the battles you get stuck fighting even when you don't care who wins, and the dinner table struggles over your kids immediately rejecting whatever you put in front of them.

    Show notes

    Dylan Dreyer sits down with Amanda Hirsch — host of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast and mom of two boys — for a conversation about the fear nobody warned you about before becoming a mom. Not the diaper fear, the "what if I lose myself entirely and only care about snack schedules forever" fear. Amanda gets honest about how she nearly talked herself out of motherhood, the checklist she made before taking the leap, and what actually happened to her career once she had kids. Plus: parenting confessions, spicy takes, and a deeply spiritual conversation about why kids need water the second you try to leave their room.
