Jenn talks about a super sweet moment that happened while reading books with Leo. 

Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson celebrate a milestone episode of Undressed with Pol' & Patrik, broadcasting for the first time from their brand-new West Hollywood studio, before diving headfirst into a fearless, unfiltered 2026 Golden Globes red-carpet breakdown. The episode opens with SnowBuBu love, Armenian coffee cup reading reminders, and Pol's signature fashion education as the duo identifies this year's dominant trends: minimalism, sheer “naked” dressing, metallics, sculptural tailoring, and statement diamonds. From there, the gloves come off. Pol' and Patrik critique the night's biggest looks, hits, and misfires—debating Owen Cooper's Bottega Veneta, Patrick Schwarzenegger's Dolce & Gabbana tux, and Zoë Kravitz's Saint Laurent nightgown-meets-Easter-tablecloth moment. Fashion triumphs shine with Teyana Taylor in Schiaparelli Haute Couture, ultimately crowned Best Dressed of the Night, praised for commanding the carpet with confidence, movement, and flawless execution. The runway rundown spans standout and controversial appearances from Nikki Glaser (Zuhair Murad), Natasha Lyonne, Amy Lou Wood, Alex Cooper (Gucci), Amelia Gray (Swarovski), Amy Poehler, Ariana Grande (custom Vivienne Westwood couture), Pamela Anderson, Parker Posey, Queen Latifah (Gaurav Gupta), Timothée Chalamet, Walton Goggins, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Bell, Chloë Zhao, and a universally praised Jennifer Lopez in vintage Jean-Louis Scherrer. One of the night's biggest surprises? Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry), named Best Dressed Man, wearing Saint Laurent with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, earning praise for immaculate tailoring, confidence, and star-making presence. The episode wraps with Pol' and Patrik's final verdicts—celebrating fashion that elevates the event and calling out looks that missed the mark—delivering couture insight, pop-culture commentary, and laugh-out-loud banter that defines Undressed.

A parent is frustrated after their mom turns a simple bedtime routine into an exhausting “family fun night,” leaving the kids overtired and everyone overwhelmed. Another listener is tired of receiving birthday gifts they never asked for—either cash to buy it themselves or knockoff versions—and wants to manage expectations without being labeled ungrateful. Someone else is trying to gently convince their aging dad that the “ghost” stealing his keys and phone is really just forgetfulness after losing the person who used to help him find everything. And one worker feels torn between staying at a job with great flexibility and a short commute, or leaving because the stress and people at work might be contributing to health issues. 

Chris practices being patient when he visits the animals at the Ahway Island Animal Shelter with his mom.

What if owning less could help you parent with more calm, confidence, and connection?In this episode of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, Flora McCormick sits down with Joshua Becker of Simplify Magazine to explore how minimalism supports dependable calm, and deeper relationships with ourselves and our kids.We talk about how clutter quietly fuels stress, power struggles, and yelling — and how simplifying your home can become one of the most effective positive parenting strategies for more calm in your home life. Joshua shares practical ways to set visible boundaries kids can understand, why parents go first, and how fewer toys often lead to better listening, deeper play, and more cooperation.This conversation also challenges the idea that “more” creates a better childhood. Instead, we explore how minimalism helps families align time, money, and energy with their values — raising resilient kids, and raising confident kids.In this episode we discuss:Minimalism as a positive parenting strategy.Parenting benefits when you have environmental calm.How LESS is definitely more, in terms of raising resilient and confident kids.✨Want more? ✨NEW✨ pdfs and short video lessons on Respect, Bedtimes, Power Struggles and More: ON ETSY!✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.

This week on Between Us Moms, Hallie and Katie are covering everything moms are actually talking about — from toddler bedtime procrastination and toxic mom group culture and celebrity mom drama (Hilary, Mandy and Ashley -- we're looking at you!) and whether farting in front of your partner really makes your marriage stronger.We kick things off with our Yays & Nays of the Week, including Hallie's gross but honest realization about men that has us questioning everything. Then Katie opens up about a VERY relatable toddler sleep struggle — her child wants her in the crib every single night before falling asleep. Sound familiar? We're talking bedtime stalling tactics like asking for more milk, more water, one more story, or demanding a parent lay with them — and we're sharing realistic bedtime hacks and parenting tips to help if your toddler is fighting sleep. In our Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other, we dive into the toxic mom group conversation sparked by celebrity moms Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore. Our hosts have a LOT to say about that viral essay and the drama that has ensued. Katie shares exclusive insider insight after interviewing all three of these celebrity moms multiple times — they also share their opposite takes on Matthew Koma's involvement, and why this topic hit such a nerve for modern moms.We also break down Nikki Bella's viral photo kissing her son on the lips, which sent her comment section into absolute chaos. Is it innocent? Is it weird? Is the internet doing too much? Katie and Hallie share their unfiltered hot takes.And finally in our Mom Algorithm segment … we talk gas.

Later bedtimes. Bedtime resistance. A tween or teen who insists they're "not tired" until 10 p.m. or later. If this sounds familiar, you're not imagining things—and you're not doing anything wrong. In this episode, Allison explains what's really happening inside your child's body as they move into the tween and teen years. During puberty, the circadian rhythm naturally shifts later, delaying melatonin release and making kids feel alert well into the evening. The problem? School start times don't shift with them. This biological mismatch often leads to chronic sleep deprivation, inconsistent schedules, and nightly power struggles. But here's the good news: even though tweens and teens don't feel tired early anymore, they can still fall asleep early enough to get the sleep they need—with the right structure and support. Allison breaks down how to work with your child's changing biology (instead of fighting it), why sleep matters more than ever during adolescence, and what intentional bedtime routines can look like at this age. This episode is especially helpful for parents who want to protect their child's mental health, academic performance, emotional regulation, and overall well-being—without turning bedtime into a nightly battle. In this episode, you'll learn: Why tweens' and teens' circadian rhythms naturally shift later How school schedules contribute to sleep deprivation The difference between "not tired" and "can't fall asleep" How inconsistent weekend sleep makes weekdays harder Why structure matters more—not less—as kids get older Simple, realistic bedtime routines for tweens and teens How stretching and meditation can support sleep readiness  Why screens in the bedroom make earlier sleep harder How sleep impacts mental health, learning, sports, and safety Ways to help tweens and teens understand why sleep matters If bedtime feels harder than it used to and you're worried about your child getting enough rest, this episode will help you feel informed, grounded, and confident about holding sleep-supportive boundaries.

In this New Year's episode, Jason and Jordan take a moment to reflect, reset, and look ahead as parents navigating life with young kids. We kick things off by unpacking the highs and lows of 2025, sharing the highlights (and the lowlights) of the year. With Christmas fresh in everyone's minds, the conversation turns to celebrating the holidays with kids - specifically, how far parents should go to keep the 'Santa magic' alive. Jason and Jordan share their thoughts (and a few laughs) on navigating the Santa facade. We also chat about how we tackled New Year's Eve with young children - do you keep the kids up until midnight and suffer the consequences the next day, or is everybody in bed at usual times to keep the little ones in routine? Finally, they wrap up by looking ahead to 2026, talking about goals, mindset shifts, and what they're hoping for in the year to come. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're concerned about an advert you hear, please contact the platform you are listening to directly. Spotify, in particular, has proven problematic in the past, for both inappropriate adverts and the volume at which the adverts play.

In this encore episode,  I dive into the surprising reason your brain won't let you sleep at night, even when nothing is actually wrong.You'll learn:Why insomnia is rooted in survival, not broken sleepHow wakefulness becomes linked with fearThe role hyperarousal plays in keeping the cycle aliveThe difference between real danger and perceived threatWhy trying to fix sleep often backfiresHow understanding the brain supports real, lasting recoveryThis conversation reveals how perceived danger, not wakefulness itself, keeps insomnia going, and how neuroplasticity allows the brain to unlearn fear and return to sleep naturally.Connect with Beth:

What do we do when our kids are disrespectful — they aren't listening, and they have attitude — and it starts draining the life out of us?This week on the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, I'm joined by my husband for a candid, coffee-on-the-couch conversation about disrespectful behavior in kids, the number one frustration I hear from dads in parent coaching. Together, we explore why this issue sparks so many power struggles, how moms and dads often experience it differently, and what's really happening beneath the surface when kids push back.We break down the top two reasons kids come across as disrespectful, and then share a Positive Parenting Strategy that surprises many parents. (Spoiler alert: how to get kids to listen has far less to do with fixing your child — and far more to do with shifting how we respond as parents.)You'll hear us wrestle with the tension between gentle parenting and firm boundaries, and land on a grounded, realistic middle road rooted in Kind and Firm Parenting, Positive Discipline, and Calm Confident Parenting. This episode offers practical tools to stop power struggles with kids, set clear limits without yelling, and respond to disrespect without escalating the conflict.If you're craving parenting without yelling, wondering how to stop tantrums and back talk, or hoping to raise respectful, resilient kids while staying connected, this conversation will feel validating, honest, and doable.Pull up a seat, sip your coffee with us, and join us as we explore how to guide kids with both kindness and firmness — at the same time.✨Want more? ✨Black Friday Savings: The Calm Cooperation Toolkit & Emotional Resilience Toolkit (BIG SAVINGS): ✨Schedule a FREE 20 min clarity call with Sustainable Parenting, so we can answer any questions you may have.
