Nurture vs Nurture is a new podcast brought to you by the producers of Armchair Expert. Dr. Wendy Mogel, social-clinical psychologist and author, specializes in the protection and promotion of self-reliance, resilience, accountability and exuberance in children and she is our fearless leader in this new endeavor. Each week, Dr. Wendy sits down with a different set of parents for a therapy session. She brings her forty years of experience working with families to these intimate and wonderfully voyeuristic conversations. This podcast allows the listener to go on another family's journey and to receive practical advice along the way. Wendy proves that, perhaps counterintuitively, there is nothing more universal than our specificity. In each episode, Wendy also introduces us to a foreign word that is untranslatable into English in order to enhance our minds and vocabularies on parenthood, family and communication with those we love the most.

Pls have more difficult situations on the show!

I think this podcast is great. The dr’s perspective is refreshing! I would LOVE to hear from families with more difficult situations, because there are so many out there. More medical issues, more physiological issues, financial issues….ADHD, ASD, ODD, etc.

Great podcast!!

I look forward to a new episode every week. No matter what the dynamic of the featured family, I always get at least one information nugget I can use with my own family.

Lots of stereotyped responses and gender roles

Wendy seems like a fun and caring person. But every episode I’ve listened to involves lots of gender stereotypes being conveyed to families in an out of touch way. Something to be mindful of if this show continues
