Parallel Lives, Unhinged Algorithms & Christian Bale

This week it’s just the gals and we’re realizing that despite living on opposite sides of the world, we are somehow living PARALLEL LIVES. Oldest kids starting high school? Check. Dreaming up new homes? Check. Small beach-town days where you can’t leave the house without bumping into someone you know? Check. Youngest babies taking their first steps at exactly the same time? CHECK. Both families are deep in one of those wildly busy seasons where everything seems to be happening at once, so we’re celebrating the little wins too, including WYATT MAKING THE SURF TEAM!! Then we compare algorithms, which turns out to be a fairly confronting window into who the internet thinks we are. Teresa’s is an unhinged cocktail of true crime, dream houses, babies in utero, Cruel Intentions nostalgia and gloriously expressive un-Botoxed women on screen, while Sarah’s is relentlessly serving her outdoor wear and diastasis recti tips. Which naturally leads us to AI and the fact that we are apparently the EXACT demographic these fake videos were made for. Did we believe the sloth in the floodwaters holding a kitten? Absolutely. But now we’re so suspicious we’re questioning the REAL stuff too. Do we need a “100% HUMAN” certification for content the way we have “organic” for food?! PLUS, Teresa discovers you can apparently tell Chatty G to stop blowing smoke up your ass and give it to you straight weeeeee!

Sibling Fights: When to Step In (and When to Stay Out)

Sibling fights making you crazy? If you've ever wondered when to intervene in sibling fights versus when to let your kids work it out themselves, this episode gives you a practical framework you can use today. Sibling fights are one of the most common pain points of parenting, and we’ve all been there. In this episode, developmental psychologist and Raising Good Humans host Dr. Aliza Pressman explains how to tell the difference between normal sibling conflict and situations that require real intervention, why fairness doesn't mean giving every kid the exact same thing, and how the language parents use in the heat of the moment can either fuel resentment or teach kids to fight well. What you’ll learn: The "witness, not judge" framework for staying neutral during sibling conflict How to use "sportscaster mode" to de-escalate fights without picking sides Why fair doesn't mean equal—and how to explain equity to your kids The hidden dangers of labeling kids ("the helper," "the difficult one") within the family How to handle twins, age gaps, and the "glass child" experience Simple family rituals that build long-term sibling closeness and repair skills 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS: Follow Raising Good Humans: 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raisinggoodhumanspodcast/ 🎙️ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-good-humans/id1473072044 Subscribe on Substack for weekly articles and exclusive LIVE Q&As: 📧 https://dralizapressman.substack.com/ This episode is brought to you by: Fora: Turn your passion for travel planning into a real business.

A Week of Summer Recapping, the RHONY Premiere, and Awkward Posing

This week, we had 3 weeks of kiki to catch up on and we covered A LOT! John and I ran through a "What We Did on Summer Vacation", including John Mayer/Howard Stern BTS, Dolly Parton's passing, and YES Ben had his first sleepover...despite your warnings (sorry, not sorry). Then, we get into the RHONY Premiere, which I *think* seemed to land with most of you and regale you with the tale of Luann coming to visit, hula hoops in hand. Plus, I clapped back a bit on my red carpet posing, had to back to the DMV (2 guesses on how well THAT went), and I cry - this time over MB Rookie Joshua Báez.

Stop Asking "Why" - What an FBI Negotiator Teaches Parents Instead

Chris Voss is a former FBI lead kidnapping negotiator, bestselling author of Never Split The Difference, and founder and CEO of The Black Swan Group; a negotiation, training, coaching, and consulting organization that teaches people how to achieve better outcomes in high-stakes conversations. Today, he teaches some of these same skills to parents - and it turns out the thing that gets a hostage-taker to put down a weapon isn't that different from what gets your eight-year-old to put down the tablet. Obviously, kids aren’t actual hostage-takers, but in this conversation, Chris and Dr. Becky get into why kids saying "no" is actually a sign of a healthy nervous system, not defiance. Why "how was your day" always gets you "fine," and the one-word fix that doesn't. Why asking your kid "why" almost always backfires, and what to ask instead. And the reframe Chris uses with his own team to get a reluctant partner, coworker, or teenager to actually engage: "are you against this?" * Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: Frida: Shop Frida at Amazon, Target, and Walmart todayAirbnb: Host your home or book your next stay on AirbnbSmartyPants: Shop SmartyPants Vitamins at Target, Walmart, or Amazon todayCare.com: For a limited time, you can use the code BECKY35 to save 35% on a Care.com Premium Membership.*Offer applies to initial term of Care.com membership subscriptions.

Raising Conscious Sons: My New Book and What Boys Need From Us Now

On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali dives into her new book, Raising Conscious Sons, and the urgent need to rethink how we are raising boys today. Kids are facing more pressure, anxiety and uncertainty than ever, while parents are often left feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unsure of what to do. Dr. Shefali created this book to give parents a clear, powerful and practical blueprint for helping their sons become resilient, confident, emotionally connected and truly empowered. She breaks down the core principles every parent needs to know, from building self-worth and emotional strength to helping boys navigate identity, relationships, pressure and masculinity. If you are raising a son, this book is a roadmap for helping him grow into a strong, conscious and deeply grounded man. What do you do when your child starts talking about trends you’ve never even heard of? This week, I’m turning to Yahoo Scout to understand looksmaxing and mewing — and then going deeper into what these trends can tell us about self-worth, belonging, and how we connect with our children. Try Yahoo Scout. #YahooPartner #YahooScout #ad Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
