    The Future of Education: AI-driven learning, personalized education & building life skills early

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by MacKenzie Price (founder of Alpha School) to talk about the future of education — and what parents can do at home right now to help their kids love learning. MacKenzie is a mom who noticed her daughters going from curious and excited to totally bored in a top-rated traditional school. Instead of accepting “that’s just how school is,” she set out to understand why—and ended up building a new model that puts passion, curiosity, and real-life skills back at the center. We talk about the practical things parents can try at home: simple ways to make learning feel engaging, how AI can support reading and math by making it more personalized, what “good” vs. “bad” screen time looks like, and why paying attention to your child’s natural interests can make such a difference. Then we zoom out and talk about what school in the U.S. could look like over the next decade as AI becomes part of the classroom — more personalized, more flexible, and potentially giving kids valuable time back for the skills they use in real life. MacKenzie shares great examples of what happens when kids have a little more space to explore, from public-speaking projects to creative deep dives that turn into something bigger.

  2. Birth plans, baby names & toddler skincare?!

    4D AGO

    Birth plans, baby names & toddler skincare?!

    This week’s episode is a total mix of everything on our minds: being “busy,” toddler obsessions, men’s pants (please help), a quick birth plan update, and that moment when your baby feels so grown… until you look back and realize they were tiny. In Things We DMed Each Other, we get into toddler skincare — and why “safe on skin” doesn’t always mean “safe on the mind” — plus a social experiment where a woman called churches asking for formula (and the results were surprising). And then, of course, TWO Bickers of the Week: whether it’s ever okay to double dip, and if a man can eat a pregnant woman’s food (spoiler: he cannot). We also wanted to make sure all the new parents in our community are aware of the recent ByHeart recall. We shared what we know and understand, and wanted to link a resource with the most up-to-date info:https://byheart.com/pages/an-update-from-our-founders-on-our-voluntary-recall-november-2025 Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:01:55 The glorification of being “busy” 00:05:07 Why young toddlers love baby dolls 00:06:25 Please comment your recs for comfortable men’s pants 00:12:05 My birth plan for baby #2 00:14:17 How close to your due date would you let your husband travel? 00:17:17 Potential names for baby #2 00:18:37 When your baby feels grown in the moment (and tiny later) 00:21:20 When people say a baby girl looks just like her dad… 00:24:27 The ByHeart recall 00:34:40 Do you really need a gadget for everything? 00:37:05 When will Tate get her first haircut? 00:38:38 Things We DMed Each Other: Toddler skincare 00:41:29 Things We DMed Each Other: Baby formula “social experiment” 00:49:00 Bicker of the Week: Is it ever OK to double dip? 00:54:00 Bicker of the Week: Can a man eat a pregnant woman’s food? 01:00:17 LOVE YOU GUYS #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Quince: Step into the holiday season with layers made to last.

    Allison Kuch & Isaac Rochell on success, family & finding balance after baby

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by the Rochells (or should we call them the Kuch family??) — Allison Kuch (content creator, podcaster & self-proclaimed “30-year-old teen mom”) and her husband Isaac Rochell (former NFL player turned broadcaster and certified girl dad) for a double date. We talk about everything — from how they met at Notre Dame (and yes their first date was at Starbucks like Google says) to surviving long distance, navigating finances, and redefining “success” after becoming parents. They open up about solo parenting while busy with work travel, postpartum depression, exclusive pumping for a year (aka living attached to “the robot”), prenups, and how they keep their relationship strong through all of it. Plus: girl vs. boy parenting, who’s the better cook (“Dads Eat Last” energy), their flight-point obsession, and what their next chapter looks like now that life after football is in full swing.

Jonas Brothers concert night out (plus Rob’s Backstage Popcorn BTS), and a recap of the Louvre jewel heist bc  we can’t stop thinking about it.  Then, we get into etiquette that still matters (thank-you notes, “Mr.” and “Ms.”, saying hi to other parents) before Things We DMed Each Other — like the funniest things that are physically impossible during pregnancy and the fact that your heart literally grows while pregnant (!!!).

  8. Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines & what really matters for your baby’s health (with Dr. Ari Brown)

    OCT 20

    Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines & what really matters for your baby’s health (with Dr. Ari Brown)

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Ari Brown (board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 book series) for a conversation about what truly matters for your baby’s health. Dr. Brown brings decades of experience helping parents cut through the noise of modern parenting. In this episode, she shares evidence-backed guidance on pregnancy nutrition (what to eat and what to avoid), the latest research on Tylenol use during pregnancy, and the other lifestyle choices that actually influence your baby’s development during pregnancy. (PLUS how to tell what’s real medical advice versus internet myths.)  We also asked about newborn and toddler health — everything from Hep B shots and vitamin K right after birth to vaccines, breast milk versus formula, picky eating, and how to handle screen time for young kids. Science-based, judgment-free, and grounded in real pediatric expertise, this episode covers everything we (and you guys!!!) are genuinely curious about when it comes to keeping your baby healthy.
