When Going to Grandma and Grandpa's House Unravels Everything: how to help your kid bounce back after time away

In this episode, I sit down with a mom who did everything right — she planned ahead, prepped the grandparents, and even gave herself permission to enjoy a well-deserved week away with her husband. But when she came home, she was met with tantrums, sass, and a four-year-old who seemed to forget every rule he'd ever learned. Sound familiar? She's not alone, and neither are you. We dig into why kids unravel after time away, what's really going on beneath those big behaviors, and how to get everyone back on track without guilt or guesswork. From staying firm without being cold, to preparing your kids (not just the grandparents!) for the next time you leave, this conversation is full of real, practical tools that will make your next getaway — and your return home — so much smoother. 💡 Want to be on the podcast?

The Sibling Dynamic That’s Breaking Your Heart: how to avoid yelling when it gets aggressive

In today's episode, I sit down with a mom of a four-year-old and a sixteen-month-old who's caught in the middle of a sibling dynamic that's slowly wearing her down — her older daughter is hitting and kicking the baby every time she gets too close to her toys or her space, and no matter what she tries, nothing seems to stick. If you're finding yourself there too — losing your cool in moments you swore you'd handle differently, feeling guilty, and wondering why the techniques you're trying just aren't landing — this is a conversation you'll want to hear. 💡 Want to be on the podcast?

The Secret to Smoother Transitions: when leaving the beach turns into a full blown power struggle

In today’s episode, I invite you into my real-time 1:1 coaching session with a mom navigating one of the most common parenting challenges: transitions—specifically, leaving the beach. What starts as a fun, connected family day quickly turns into resistance, ignoring, and a full shutdown when it’s time to go. Despite giving warnings and doing all the “right things,” she finds herself in a power struggle with her five-year-old, leaving everyone frustrated and disconnected. Together, we unpack what’s really going on beneath the behavior, why transitions are so hard for young kids, and how what looks like defiance is often a child struggling with stopping, shifting, and handling disappointment all at once. 💡 Want to be on the podcast?
