Podcast appearances and mentions of alex bennett

Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents & A Podcast — or rather, this week is 1 parent + 1 childfree (childless??) person lol as Harrison is out of town for a work trip (but DON'T worry, we get a full rundown of his day mid episode). On today's ep, we took some "girlypop" (as Jules calls it) questions from the audience about friendship, relationship, career, and motherhood. Here's a quick rundown of the Qs you can look forward to: how have friendships with your childfree friends changed since having kids? How do you connect with friends outside of kids? (pro tip: BYO pod topics to dinner!). How do you find the courage to leave the house with littles?! (shots on net!!). How do you track your cycle postpartum? What do you & Harrison argue about most postpartum? (AirPods???). And how do you approach career planning as a working mom? Before all that, we quickly get into a bit about the DC trip (did anyone else NOT go on an 8th grade DC trip??), how to deal with other people's kids (are we supposed to be "teaching" them if they do something wrong?), Bieber's World Cup halftime show, and Tuesday weddings: rude or chic?! We wrap things up with a follow up on: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?, a good reminder ("you don't learn to swim by reading about water"!), and a big debate online: how old is "too old" to have a wedding registry?! Alright, hopefully you enjoyed! But if you didn't, Harrison will be back on Wednesday hahaha. LOVE YOU GUYS!

In this message, Pastor Alex continues the Set Free series by exploring Galatians 2:11-21 and reminding us that the Gospel doesn't just change what we believe, it transforms the way we live. Through Paul's confrontation with Peter, we see the dangers of living for the approval of people instead of God and the freedom that comes through justification by faith in Christ alone. This message encourages us to reject performance-based Christianity, embrace our new identity in Jesus, and live each day by faith in the One who loved us and gave Himself for us.Scriptures:Galatians 2:11-21Galatians 1:10Acts 10Galatians 2:14Galatians 2:15-162 Corinthians 5:21Galatians 2:17-20Our Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

Alex Bennett's PopUp Monday at 4pm ET

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! We recorded this episode the night before heading out to DC and instead of our usual, we decided to do a little game: we picked a bunch of parenting hot takes & "would you rather" questions to answer rapid-fire, and yes we were all a little slap happy LOL. PSA UPFRONT: we talk about Santa in this episode around 20 minutes in… please do not listen in front of your kids!!! OK let's get into it: A few we cannot stop thinking about: is it ever OK to lie to your kids?! (Santa, tooth fairy, "the iPad only exists on the airplane" lies…), are iPads the modern day cigarette?! (YES), should schools ban birthday treats?! (no), should toddlers actually be expected to share?! (yes!!!), and the great household debate: shoes on or shoes off in the house?! (Harrison is CANADIAN and yet still on Team Shoes On somehow??). Plus, we get into some wild parenting advice from the 1930s-1960s (mothers were told don't breastfeed if you're angry?! Doctors recommended cigarettes during pregnancy?! Don't hug your baby too much or you'll create a tyrant??) that made us wonder what advice we're getting today that we'll think is crazy in 100 years. Plus, pacifiers after age 2 (yes or no?), and the true or false round: is the second kid actually rules-free? Was parenting easier before Instagram? Do parents secretly love when plans get canceled? And of course, Harrison walks us through 100 years of stock market data to kick things off (cliffhanger from last ep!! lol)… 30,000 stocks analyzed over 100 years, and only 27.6% outperformed the market. His case for index funds continues!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! Harrison is officially DONE with the World Cup (despite going to the game tomorrow AND talking about it for like 20 minutes on this ep lol). BUT this leads to a fun discussion: is watching sports with someone you're dating the new "turbulence test"?! We run through the RED FLAGS of watching sports with a guy — is his day being made or ruined by other men playing a game he's not in?!

Alex Bennett's PopUp Monday at 4pm ET

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! Rocky is officially out of the 4th trimester

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, HAPPY FRIDAY & happy 4th of July weekend!!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! We get into a topic I've been thinking about a LOT lately: the postpartum anxiety I'm experiencing the second time around (it's a totally different beast than postpartum depression, AND the anxiety this time is split between two kids…). I share what's actually helping me (s/o to Michelle for the "text me every intrusive thought you have" technique

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy FRIDAY!!! Rocky was on his FIRST EVER flight this week (which made it our first flight with 2 under 2!!), and we have OPINIONS. We get into the case for booking a 3rd seat once your toddler is 20 months old, the flight delay fiasco that almost made us drive home from Dallas, and the very kind woman on the plane who held Rocky for me (which prompted an interesting conversation: the price of community is being willing to be inconvenienced

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! We are coming off of a CHAOTIC night… our fire alarm went off 4 TIMES between 3 and 5 AM, and we ended up having to take a screwdriver to the wall to dismantle the entire system to make it stop

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy FRIDAY!!! Our third episode of the week is HERE… how are we doing?! (We are loving the Mon/Wed/Fri rhythm so far & we hope you guys are too

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday & welcome to our FIRST week of 3 episodes a week!!! (Mon/Wed/Fri…) And YES, we are kicking things off with a LITTLE chaos (there were storms in Texas last night and everyone was up all night!!) So if you think this episode feels all over the place… IT IS!! (welcome to the inside of our brains on a Monday morning lol). On today's episode: we get into a parenting concept that has officially rewired our brain: toddlers are SCIENTISTS!!! We are SO down to let our kids experiment + learn from their mistakes (safely). Plus, our #1 toddler hack: give them two choices (it has saved us in SO many standoffs already). First we get into the World Cup… it's taking over our lives (and America) in the best way possible!!! The TikTok video of girls asking "wait, when did the US get into the World Cup?!" sent us, the European fans are LOSING THEIR MINDS over Buc-ee's, ranch, & unlimited refills (& sales tax not being on the list price?!), and Rod Stewart canceled his concert to go to a World Cup game (Harrison's defense: no chance, you'd NEVER do that for a group stage match — it was laryngitis). Plus, Elon Musk officially became the world's FIRST trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO (Stock School with Harrison incoming!), the Summer House butterfly effect (Harrison's wildest theory yet on Jesse, Sierra & West), and the question we cannot stop thinking about: will Taylor & Travis ACTUALLY get married at MSG?! (& who would perform??

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! Jules is BACK from Cape Cod (with a hot take: there is nothing better than timing a girls trip with the premiere of Love Island!!!). And we officially took our first road trip with 2 under 2 (Dallas!!)… we have OPINIONS… is it actually easier to drive 3 hours or fly 30 minutes when you have a toddler and a newborn?! We break down the full case for each (and the verdict surprised even us). Then we get into Harrison officially deleting social media from his phone (goodbye doomscrolling) and what he's doing to "replace" that time (Morning Brew!), which leads Alex to a BIG announcement: we are officially starting a Substack!!! Coming Thursdays (we think) starting next week (we think), plus you guys already know but next week we're ALSO moving to 3 episodes a week (Mon/Wed/Fri), which Harrison is suddenly calling a trial but we are not. We get into all things parenting: the mom who couldn't pump at a spa and went VIRAL (uhhh the law is the law!!), the impact of a dad on his daughter's self-esteem before age 5, what we learned at the Pure Mama x Nuna motherhood panel (postpartum mood disorders can show up as OCD, rage, paranoia, psychosis & more), and Rocky's reflux update because Dr. Ari's advice changed EVERYTHING. Of course we have the fun stuff: Belmont Cameli is NOT giving us the ick (also I swear if we heard the name before having Rocky he would be a Belmont right now), West & Amanda are in Italy and the spit-gate video is taking over the internet (are they in on the joke or are they solid-coring?!), our THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER on Esther Wojcicki's iconic advice "don't do anything for your kids that they can do themselves" (she raised the YouTube CEO + the 23andMe CEO so… yeah we're listening), and TWO BICKERS OF THE WEEK: are some nicknames off limits in your own household (Tay vs. Tate!!!), and waiting for a specific parking spot when there are 12 others available

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are deep in the weeds of toddler social skills, specifically: how to actually teach a toddler to share and the power of modeling behavior for toddlers because… they are watching (and copying) EVERYTHING. Then we recap Mother's Day (the four of us at the coffee shop, my protein pancakes at The Well, and then our chaotic visit to a new store in Austin (s/o to Tiffany the most patient employee in the store, we love you). Plus, Harrison's Father's Day request (NO gifts (how many times has he said this on the pod until Alex listens lol)) and a little 2 under 2 update because Tate is more and more OBSESSED with Rocky everyday and we genuinely did not expect this

The Alex Bennett Program

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with ONE parent & our returning guest Dr. Ari Brown (Pediatrician + Author of the iconic 411 series) for the SLEEP episode every parents needs! We start with why sleep is SO important (for both kids AND parents), how to create a healthy sleep routine from DAY ONE, and the "sleep crutches" you need to AVOID if possible (s/o to any parent who has been the human Uber to the land of nod hahaha). Then we get into what to ACTUALLY do when your baby/toddler wakes up in the middle of the night and why Dr. Ari likes to refer to “sleep regressions" as PROGRESSIONS (mind blown!!). Plus (random tangent), Dr. Ari's take on melatonin & traveling time zones (the ONE time she'll recommend it). Then, the ideal nap schedule from baby through toddler, and the #1 biggest mistake parents make around sleep (which we 100% have been guilty of). Then we get into some of the tactical stuff: should you EVER give your toddler a bottle before bed? Crib vs. co-sleeping vs. bed sharing (without the shame!), and when to actually transition from crib to bed (spoiler: longer than you think!!). We also break down what an ideal toddler bedtime routine looks like, how screens are impacting your kid's sleep, and how diet & physical activity actually move the needle. Plus, a fun rapid-fire game: COMMON SLEEP ISSUE vs. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.  Finally, it's not a sleep episode without Dr. Ari's take on sleep training & cry it out (and the protest vs. crying it out distinction that totally clicked for us), and she shares her famous S.L.E.E.P. plan

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, it's Harrison's second solo episode… but jk lol because Alex (and Rocky!!!) decided to join in studio, just not on camera (ps. we heard you guys on the whole speakerphone thing hahaha). So Harrison is hosting, Alex is on the mic, Rocky is snoozing, and we're recapping the first two weeks as a family of four. We get into Alex's feeding journey so far (no longer a just-enough-er!!!), the anniversary date we've officially decided on (the day we MET, not the day we got married…fight us about it), and the very real conversation we had on our walk this morning about how many kids we actually want now that we have 2 (spoiler: 3, and a maybe to 4??). OK then we have a push present REVEAL (yes, the brown box that was right in front of Alex's eyes for MONTHS had a pink LV Speedy in it), Mother's Day gift ideas for the guys listening (phone cases, name necklaces, shopping sprees… you're welcome), a quick update on Alex's mat leave, and a real recap of the first two weeks with 2 under 2 (the divide and conquer dynamic, what advice we took too far, the new morning + bedtime routines, and yes the SNOO is working with baby #2!!!). Plus, we get into something on Harrison's mind this week: can dads have "mom brain" too?! (Apparently yes, and the more involved you are, the worse it is???) Then a "What We're Watching" update - Survivor Season 50 (& Harrison is officially applying for 2027??) and the Summer House drama continues (no, we didn't listen to the leaked audio). We also have a new segment to try out: TWEET OF THE WEEK (GLP-1s are out-earning the entire AI industry?!), and THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER on the hot take that dads only really need to show up once baby #2 arrives… do we agree?! (NO!). LOVE YOU GUYS! Ps. Guys this is Jules now I need to say that I know Election Day is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (idk WHERE I got the Nov 4th thing (2008???) but I swear I black out when we record lol) Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:02 Alex's feeding journey so far 00:09:12 We've officially picked our anniversary date 00:12:32 How many kids do we want now that we have 2 under 2? 00:16:52 Alex's push present reveal 00:19:55 Alex's mat leave update  00:23:15 Mother's Day gift ideas 00:30:02 Our first 2 weeks with 2 under 2 (Intro, routines, etc) 00:41:22 Are any of Rocky's nicknames sticking? 00:43:42 Can dad's have “mom brain” too?!  00:49:15 WHAT WE'RE WATCHING: Survivor Season 50 00:52:22 The Summer House Drama continues… 00:59:51 Jules is afraid to hold Rocky lol  01:01:42 TWEET OF THE WEEK (new segment?!): GLP-1s vs. AI revenue 01:08:59 THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER: “Hot Take: Dads with two kids” 01:16:00 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Little Spoon: Give them meals + snacks that are actually right for where kids are developmentally—balanced, intentional and made to support real growth.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Becky Kennedy (Good Inside) for a conversation we are SO GLAD we had two days before welcoming baby #2. This episode is basically a crash course in all things new siblings, starting with how to prep your existing child(ren), what to do during the first meeting, and how to manage things once you're finally home. First, she level sets something we think every parent needs to hear: the goal is not raising the world's most thrilled big sibling on day one (because... that's just not a thing lol). With that in mind, Dr. Becky shares practical tips (that take all of 15 seconds) to ACTUALLY help prep your toddler for a new baby. Then we get into the first meeting itself: hospital or house? Gift or no gift? Job or no job? And she covers toddler reactions during this intro that can feel super alarming, but are often completely expected. And then we get into sibling dynamics... what to do in those very glamorous moments when everyone is crying and nobody wants to share mom, and why trying to be “fair” can actually be the thing CAUSING sibling rivalry. So if you've got baby #2 (or 3 or 4) on the way, watch this episode. Or send it to a friend who might need it, because this one DEFINITELY helped us :-) Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:00:37 Meet Dr. Becky Kennedy (Clinical Psychologist, Founder & CEO at Good Inside, & Mom of 3) 00:02:28 How perceptive are toddlers, actually? 00:07:00 One of the biggest disservices we do to toddlers when introducing a new sibling  00:10:35 Best practices for prepping siblings 00:16:52 Biggest mistakes when introducing siblings 00:19:06 Why understanding your own child matters most 00:22:25 Dr. Becky's #1 tip for introducing a toddler to a new baby 00:24:37 The unfair expectations we put on toddlers 00:26:53 Hospital or house: where should siblings meet? 00:28:45 Should you give the older sibling a gift or a job? 00:33:45 Reactions that alarm parents but are actually normal 00:36:41 Expected behavior vs. cause for concern 00:44:38 What to do when both kids are crying 00:48:47 Why narrating to babies and toddlers matters 00:51:08 Good Inside Baby: first 24 hours home + partnership after baby 01:02:48 Shaping sibling dynamics for the long term 01:11:48 There's nothing more important than repair 01:13:40 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Hero Bread: Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

This week on Two PARENTS & A Podcast, we have the parenting heavy episode you guys have been asking for :) With baby #2 coming in T-2 days, we're revisiting all the newborn decisions that hit at once (that also happen to be some of the most loaded topics on the internet). So we rapid-fire (if 30+ mins can be considered rapid-fire) through the big ones: letting a newborn cry, co-sleeping, formula vs. breastfeeding, vaccinating on schedule, sleep training before 4 months, visitors in the first week, taking a newborn out in public early, feeding on demand, kissing the baby, and who should actually be getting up in the middle of the night.  Before that, we get into Bicker of the Week x2 (turning off a show in the middle + fruit flies), when kids learn their parents' first names (like does anyone actually know this answer??), and the very rude reminder that the last week of pregnancy is its own full-body (and mind) experience. Oh and Harrison told me that yes, my push present is now officially outside the return window lol. Then, because our brains are obviously in 14 places at once right now, we do a Bieber update (including the revelation that SWAG does NOT stand for swagger), Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle (Lix vs. Lex), and end on the very weird emotional reality that baby #2 still isn't fully clocking (s/o Justin) for us yet. LOVE YOU GUYS!
