What's Happening Here? Dr. Sarah & Kevin
-
- Barn och familj
This is a podcast for finding the perfect imbalance of being a parent, a partner, and a person without losing the things that matter most to you in the process, like your sanity
Dr. Sarah, the Brain Gal is a pediatric neuropsychologist and mom of two who translates brain science into everyday life. Kevin is Sarah’s partner in crime, bourbon aficionado, discusser of all things, and father of two.
We started this podcast because we saw a big gap between research and practice, especially when you have a unique family structure like ours! We wanted to share what we have learned and hopefully what we continue to learn about navigating our lives through the lens of brain science with a big old helping of reality mixed in.
We know there are lots of families that look like ours, or kinda like ours, or look nothing like ours, which makes finding a single source of guidance and advice so hard, but we’re gonna try to help you.
So join us as we try to figure out what’s happening here.

Season 3 - Episode 6: There’s more to sports than just the game
There’s no crying in softball…but there’s yelling! Juliana and her teammates and their Amy G's are having a tough time with their coaches. When you have a punitive coaching style and lack positive reinforcement, the girls are going to lose interest. In schools we teach that punishment stops behavior, but it does nothing for building the skills you want to see kids develop. Same goes with coaching.

We’re married now, so Mr. B.G. has settled into his routine, Amy G. is nice and stable…mostly, and Fronnie can pivot wherever she needs to go.
