Parenting can be overwhelming when your child is struggling with an anxiety disorder or OCD—but it doesn’t have to be.

Dr. Whiteside teaches parents what anxiety is and how to recognize when it becomes a problem, explains why children need to face their fears to overcome them, and introduces readers to exposure therapy and its practical application. Stephen P. H. Whiteside, Ph.D. is a Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist, Professor of Psychology in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, and Director of the Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

17 Apr 2024Fostering Resiliency in Teens with Kim Payne, Episode #7601:03:39

This is a recording from our 2024 summit. The tween and teen years are rife with intense social challenges in school, friendships, sports, and other activities where instances of teasing, bullying, social exclusion, and marginalization are unfortunately all too common. Social media has only made this behaviour easier and more insidious. But when kids aged 9 and up can be coached by a parent to respond effectively, manage their emotions in social situations, and recognize their own self-worth, they can reclaim a sense of their own power and develop skills like resilience, social and emotional intelligence, and compassion for life. Join Kim as he gives you strategies to give tweens and teens the tools to address the problem themselves and develop mastery over the situation—rather than having parents step in and try to "fix" things. He gives vital proactive strategies to help build strong family relationships, trust, and connection so kids can be better prepared for the inevitable social challenges life brings.

06 Dec 2023Talking to Kids About Sex w/Samantha Dover, Episode #5800:39:48

In this episode Tammy interviews Registered Psychologist, Samantha Dover, on the importance of talking to our children and teens about sex, consent, and physical boundaries. Without safe relationships with knowledgeable adults to answer some of their big questions, kids will find other ways of accessing the information in ways that can disastrous. This can lead to shame, stigmas, and a variety of misinformation.

By educating yourself and being available for conversation, you are not only ensuring that your child has access to relevant information, but you are also ensuring that you get a chance to discuss morals and values with them to help them make lifelong, healthy, and empowering decisions for themselves. Do you want more information on how to talk to your child about their bodies or navigate the "talk" with your teen.

25 Jan 2023Two Very Different Ways to Help Kids with Bullying by Dr. Brooks Gibbs and Jessica Joelle Alexander, Episode #1400:49:17

In this episode, we have 2 experts speaking on bullying from completely different perspectives. Dr Brooks Gibbs, award winning resilience educator, talks passionately about the importance of teaching children how to regulate emotions and solve social problems. His focus is on individual resilience vs. "targeting the aggressor". Our second speaker is Jessica Joelle Alexander, parenting expert and bestselling author, who will explore a Danish perspective to bullying. The Danish Way focuses on a community based approach to bullying where nurturing social connections, inclusive practices, and open communication is of vital importance. 

In the last 20 years Denmark has made drastic headway in reducing bullying both online and offline with an innovative approach. They have been so successful in fact, that Danish children are currently among the least bullied in all of Europe. Research clearly shows that bullying can have serious psychological and health consequences for children and adults, so tackling this issue is of the utmost importance. What’s the secret to their success?

18 Dec 2024Unsilenced: The Truth About the Troubled Teen Industry with Meg Appelgate, Episode #11100:39:12

Every year, thousands of children are sent against their will – often ripped out of their beds in the middle of the night by strangers – to private facilities to be treated for various mental illnesses, addiction issues, and perceived behavioral problems. Due to inconsistencies in the definition of what a therapeutic program is and a lack of regulatory oversight, the exact number of these centers and children in them is not known but it is estimated that there is over 120,000+ children kept in over 5,000+ centers around the United States and abroad. This is collectively known as the “Troubled Teen Industry.”

In this episode Tammy interviews Meg Appelgate about this Industry and her personal experiences as a teen with being placed in such an institution. Meg is an author and CEO of Unsilenced, a grassroots organization dedicated to speaking out against institutionalized child abuse in the troubled teen and youth mental health industry (https://www.unsilenced.org/)

After being sexually assaulted and expelled from school for drinking at 15, For the next 17 years, Meg dedicated herself to non-profit work before eventually coming to the realization that she had been abused and brainwashed throughout her time in the troubled teen industry. She wrote about this account in her book "Becoming Unsilenced" which we discuss in this riveting episode.

19 Feb 2025Compassionate Sleep Solutions with Eileen Henry, Episode 11900:46:59

There are two major camps on getting babies to sleep through the night. These methods are hotly debated, and their oppositional ideas can leave parents feeling frustrated and confused.

1. Cry it out! - Deal breaker for many parents.

2. Do whatever it takes, all day and all night long - Deal breaker for those of us who need to function in the real world.

There are other approaches that offer the much coveted “NO Cry” result. The "no cry" unicorn baby, sorry to report, is a mythological creature.

In this podcast Eileen Henry will walk you through her revolutionary based approach: The Compassionate Sleep Solution, which is a gentle, honest and realistic approach to supporting your child's sleep. Since crying can be a part of that reality, this method will teach you how to calm the cry. Your child can sleep AND feel safe and secure.

26 Feb 2025Parenting According to Your Child's Unique Genetic Code with Dr. Dick, Episode 12000:40:22

With just a few exceptions, most parenting advice focuses on the role of the parent in shaping a child's world. This ignores the fact that genetics shape almost every aspect of human behaviour. In today's podcast, Dr. Dick debunks the myth that parenting techniques alone determine a child's future. She looks at how Extraversion, Emotionality, and Effortful Control underline each child's predisposition and how the key to raising a child isn't to try harder to mold them, but rather to adapt your parenting to the way they are wired. Dr. Dick is an award winning researcher and the author of "The Child Code". To find out more about Dr Dick's work, click here.

05 Mar 2025Raising Screen Smart Kids with Jessica Joelle Alexander, Episode 12100:43:46

In today's podcast, Jessica Joelle Alexander - best-selling author and Danish Parenting Expert - talks about "Raising Digital Citizens." Research shows that having open conversations around digital safety and awareness is by far the best and most protective measure parents can take. The reality is, while we all must constantly confront an ever changing technological landscape of apps, games and social media, the basic foundation of what it means to be a good citizen doesn´t change. This is what we really need to talk about with our kids. Things like critical thinking, rights, safety, wellbeing and good communication, to name a few, are just as important in the digital world as they are in the real world. Jessia discusses how fostering rsponsibility and reflection in children, is far more impactful than expecting obedience.

Jessica has just released her phenomenal Raising Digital Citizen’s conversation cards. These conversation cards help parents broach all topics around digital citizenship in a fun, hands-on way so that families can establish values together and empower their children with knowledge on what to do in any situation even when their parents.aren’t there to protect them.

12 Mar 2025A Rescue Plan for Boys with Dr. Gurian, Episode #12200:57:34

Perhaps in no previous time has it become more obvious that boys are struggling. Their mental health challenges have become severe. Boys are behind girls in education and maturation. Screen time and social media have become an affliction. Many of our sons grow up courting violence. Many others live in quiet desperation. While arguments about the politics of masculinity abound, there is little help today for parents, schools, and communities to raise, educate, and nurture boys. In this podcast we interview Michael Gurian, PhD talks about how to connect with our boys and addresses differences in the neurology and overall psychology of our boys to better understand their needs.

Michael Gurian is a marriage and family counselor in his thirty-fourth year of private practice (michaelgurian.com) and the New York Times bestselling author of thirty-six books. The Gurian Institute, which he cofounded in 1996, conducts research internationally, launches pilot programs, and trains professionals (gurianinstitute.com).

26 Mar 2025Promoting Positive Body Image in Girls with Drs Lindsay and Lexie Kite, Episode #12401:00:20

Today's episode is a sneak peak from our upcoming summit. We speak with Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite, authors of More Than a Body, about how parents can help their children develop a healthy body image in a world that often prioritizes appearance over well-being. We explore the concept of self-objectification and how societal pressures, especially through media, can lead kids—particularly girls—to view their bodies as ornaments rather than instruments.

The Kites emphasize body image resilience, encouraging parents to challenge harmful beauty standards and model a positive relationship with their own bodies. They share practical strategies for fostering a healthier mindset in children, including focusing on what bodies can do rather than how they look, promoting media literacy, and reinforcing self-worth beyond appearance.

This episode offers essential insights for parents looking to raise confident, body-positive kids in today’s image-focused culture. To find out more about the Kite's click here: https://www.morethanabody.org/more-than-a-body-book/

23 Apr 2025Are Sleepovers a Good idea with Tammy and Tania, Episode #12800:23:44

Sleepovers can be a cherished childhood memory—or a source of anxiety for both kids and parents. In this episode, child psychologists Tammy Schamuhn and Tania Johnson unpack the risks and benefits of sleepovers through a trauma-informed lens. They explore important developmental, emotional, and safety considerations to help caregivers make informed decisions.

Whether you’re feeling pressure from your child to say yes or struggling with lingering concerns, this episode offers guidance on:

* What age might be developmentally appropriate for sleepovers

* Red flags and green lights when evaluating another home

* How to prepare your child for a successful experience

* Why some kids (and families) may not be ready—and that’s okay

This episode doesn’t tell you what to decide—it empowers you with the tools to decide what’s right for your child.

05 Oct 2022How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids with Dr Laura Markham, Episode #100:43:58

Most parents think that if our child would just "behave," we could maintain our composure as parents. The truth is that managing our own emotions and actions is what allows us to feel peaceful as parents. Ultimately we can’t control our children or the hand life deals them—but we can always control our own actions. Parenting isn’t about what our child does, but about how we respond."

In this podcast we interview one of our FAVOURITE parenting experts Dr. Laura Markham, Clinical Psychologist, best-selling author of the book "Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids" and "Peaceful Parents, Happy Siblings" and founder of AHA!Parenting where we talk about how to keep our cool as parents!

11 Sep 2024Raising Confident and Powerful Girls with Dr Jo-Ann Finkelstein, Episode #9700:31:02

Today's episode is with Dr Jo-Ann Finkelstein, author of the hot new release "Sexism and Sensibility. Dr. Finkelstein's work focuses on understanding and dismantling sexism for parents trying to raise confident and powerful girls in a culture that often demeans them.

The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it’s waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls’ strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls’ skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge: How do we teach girls to recognize and cope with these realities without crushing their optimism and belief that they can incite change?

Jo-Ann Finkelstein, PhD, is a clinical psychologist who was educated at Harvard University and Northwestern University and now maintains a private clinical practice. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Ms., Your Teen, among other publications.

24 Jan 2024Play Therapy: What it is, How it Works, and When to use it with Lisa Dion, Episode # 6400:50:08

Play is to the child what talk is to the adult. Play therapy is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, describing experiences, disclosing wishes, and nurturing self-fulfillment. Children express themselves and their needs, relive their past, and connect with others through play. The use of toys enables children to transfer anxieties, fears, fantasies, and guilt to objects rather than people. In the process, children are safe from their own feelings and reactions because play enables children to distance themselves from traumatic events and experiences. In this podcast Tammy Schamuhn interviews Lisa Dion, Clinician, Registered Play Therapist, Co-Founder of Synergetic Play Therapy. We take a deep dive into what play therapy looks like, how it creates long-lasting changes in children, and where you can get appropriate training should you want to explore this medium in your clinical work.

This episode dives into the various forms of OCD, one of the top treatments for OCD "ERP, exposure or response prevention therapy, and how parents can sometimes inadvertently exacerbate their child's OCD symptoms through something called "parental accommodations." Accommodations are common for parents of anxious children to implement in order to alleviate their child's anxiety, while in fact they actually increase the intensity of anxiety and the avoidance response.

15 May 2024Parental Loss & Trauma and How it Impacts our Parenting with Christina Rasmussen, Episode #8000:38:40


In this touching podcast Christina Rasmussen, author and grief specialist, beautfully reframes how adversity in our childhood creates a form of "grief" that we carry into our parenting experiences. This grief can lead parents to stiffling their children's own self-expression and ultimately leads to disconnection from our children and from ourselves. Christina has a unique way of looking at parental triggers and how to work with them from a place of self-compassion.

Christina Rasmussen is an acclaimed grief educator and bestselling author of Second Firsts (2013), Where Did You Go? (2018), and Invisible Loss (2024). In 2010, four years after her thirty-five-year-old spouse passed away from Stage 4 colon cancer, she created the Life Reentry process, which launched her on a mission to bring compassion, grace, and validation to thousands, while simultaneously establishing an exit from what she termed the Waiting Room.
