    Philadelphia to Hollywood and Back Again with Brad Ingelsby (writer/producer of Mare of Easttown and Task on HBO) Ep 19

    Episode 19: Brad Ingelsby — Philadelphia to Hollywood and Back Again In this episode of MomsWork (and DadsWork, too!), host Kristin Weinrich sits down with TV show and movie writer and producer Brad Ingelsby for an honest, thoughtful conversation about creativity, career paths, and parenting — and how becoming a parent can completely reshape the way we define success. Brad is a husband, father of three, and the creative force behind HBO’s Mare of Easttown and Task, as well as films including The Way Back and The Lost Bus. A native of the Philadelphia suburbs, Brad spent years building a career in California before ultimately deciding to move his family back home. In this episode, he reflects on what that full-circle moment meant — personally, professionally, and as a dad. Together, Kristin and Brad explore the intersection of creative work and family life, the challenges of nontraditional careers, and the surprising ways parenting influences the stories we tell. In this episode, we talk about: •Brad’s path to becoming a writer and producer •Growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs and early signs of being a storyteller •Building a career in California and navigating an unpredictable industry •How becoming a parent shifted Brad’s priorities and perspective •The decision to move back home — and why it mattered for their family •Setting boundaries between work and family life •Raising kids in the place where you grew up •Parenting wins, challenges, and a few laugh-out-loud dad moments •How fatherhood has influenced Brad’s creative work and storytelling •Redefining “success” as a parent Plus, a fun rapid-fire round covering: Favorite pizza toppings, best ideas, Philly spots to clear your head, and more.

    Managing Anxiety in Children with Dr. Fiona MacPhee Ep 18

    Episode 18: Supporting Kids Through Anxiety with Dr. Fiona MacPhee Welcome back to MomsWork! In this episode, Kristin sits down with licensed child psychologist Dr. Fiona MacPhee for a thoughtful, practical, and reassuring conversation about kids’ mental health — with a special focus on anxiety. If you’ve ever wondered: Is this normal? Am I doing enough? How do I help my child without burning myself out? This episode is for you. Dr. MacPhee brings over 15 years of clinical and research experience supporting families navigating ADHD, OCD, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, and school-related stress. She has helped hundreds of families build confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships — and in this episode, she shares insights every parent can use. In This Episode, We Discuss: ✔️ The many ways anxiety shows up in kids — and why it doesn’t always look like worry ✔️ How anxiety presents differently in young children, tweens, and teens ✔️ When separation anxiety is developmentally typical — and when it may need extra support ✔️ Signs of social anxiety, especially in school settings ✔️ Why anxiety often shows up as stomachaches, headaches, or sleep struggles ✔️ How to respond to avoidance without unintentionally reinforcing anxiety ✔️ The role of reassurance and accommodations — and when they can make anxiety worse ✔️ Practical tools parents can use at home to help kids manage anxious thoughts ✔️ Supporting anxious kids around homework, tests, and school refusal ✔️ Managing your own anxiety as a parent ✔️ When to consider professional support ✔️ What real progress actually looks like when kids are learning to cope One Important Reminder Anxiety is common. It is treatable. And parents are not failing when their child struggles. Dr. MacPhee shares how small, steady steps — rather than quick fixes — help children build lasting coping skills. Progress may not always look dramatic, but resilience grows over time. About Dr. Fiona MacPhee Dr. Fiona MacPhee is a licensed child psychologist specializing in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and school-related stress. She works closely with families to strengthen connection while building practical skills.
