The Wild West of AI + Education

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is affecting every aspect of our lives, including education. When it comes to the impact of AI on kids’ learning and overall wellbeing, we don’t have the luxury of waiting on long-term studies. There is, however, a new “pre-mortem” study out from Brookings, looking at whether AI does more good or more harm in education. Here with the answers is Dr. Rebecca Winthrop, Director of the Center for Universal Education at Brookings Institution. She helps make sense of this new landscape and the best way forward for schools, policymakers, and parents. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!

Cynthia Rowley on Building a Brand, Raising Daughters & Refusing to Choose Between Ambition and Motherhood

Fashion icon and founder Cynthia Rowley joins us for a powerful conversation about building a global brand while raising a family, and refusing to choose between ambition and motherhood. Cynthia opens up about losing her husband at 34, becoming a mom later in life, and navigating single motherhood while continuing to grow a massive fashion empire without guilt. She shares how she integrated her children into her life and work, created a tight-knit family dynamic, set strong boundaries around family time, and modeled that work can be a source of joy and fulfillment, something her kids now carry with them, too. We talk about taking risks while holding the responsibility of motherhood, releasing the mental load, navigating “nepotism” commentary, and what it’s been like for her daughters to carve their own paths while still choosing to live with her in their 20s (the ultimate definition of success). With decades of perspective, Cynthia offers wisdom on reinvention, self-trust, and a beautiful example of how motherhood is additive—not something that takes away from your identity, career, or creativity. A must-listen.

The Power of Secure Attachment

Secure attachment is a term that gets thrown around, but it’s often not clear what it means or why it matters! In fact, it’s a decades old psychological concept that points to the protective impact on a child’s lifelong wellbeing of having just one caring adult. Therapist and author of Raising Securely Attached Kids, Eli Harwood AKA the Attachment Nerd, joins the podcast to dissect the critical role of secure attachment on people’s development and explain ways to achieve it in our families.

Consent 101 for the Early Years

Teaching kids about consent begins in their earliest years as they learn what it looks like to give and receive permission for any number of things. Hand in hand is their developing sense of privacy and safety in relationship to others. All of these skills become critical as kids grow and mature. Pediatrician and author of Eyes, Knees, Boundaries Please!, Dr. Krupa Playforth, joins us for a joyful unpacking of the language, choices, and routines families can use to integrate a culture of consent into their own homes.

“Are You Mad At Me?”

There is another F word – no, not that one. It’s FAWN, the under-appreciated fourth companion of the well-known coping responses: fight, flight, and freeze. Fawning means people-pleasing, and it can be used for survival – truly! Listen to this fascinating conversation with psychotherapist Meg Josephson on how to recognize fawning, break the cycle, and replace it with other coping strategies. She helps all of us pause before asking the question: Are you mad at me? Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!
