Amy and Margaret talk with Dr. Allison Alford, communication scholar and author of the new book Good Daughtering: The Work You've Always Done, the Credit You've Never Gotten, and How to Finally Feel Like Enough. Dr. Alford explains the concept of daughtering—the emotional, logistical, and mental labor adult daughters perform to assist their parents and to hold families together. Drawing on more than a decade of qualitative research, she explains how this work is often unrecognized and uncounted. We discuss kin-keeping, invisible labor, and the pressures women face to be “good daughters.” Dr. Alford explains how cultural expectations, gender norms, and family systems reinforce this burden—and why naming it is the first step toward change. You are already doing more than you think—and you deserve credit for it.

It is nothing but basketball in this edition of Fresh Takes. Nick Felice and Paul Russo talk about the biggest headlines out of NBA All-Star Weekend. The guys discuss college hoops with the regular season wrapping up in the coming weeks and coaching cycles already firing up.

On the February 16, 2026 episode of  the Little Column A, A Little Column B Podcast, hosts Willie Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down one of the strangest and most debate-heavy weeks in sports. From an Olympic fugitive story to NBA tanking fines, college basketball fights, NFL ownership debates, and even a Daytona 500 milestone, this episode blends hard takes, humor, and real conversations about accountability and the fan experience. The show opens with a bizarre Olympic anecdote — a Slovak man on the run for 16 years arrested while trying to attend a hockey game — which sparks a larger discussion about the rising cost of attending live sports and when fans will finally choose the couch over the arena. NBA All-Star Weekend gets a full breakdown, with Willie and Zach debating whether the new target-score format actually improved effort and watchability. They highlight standout moments from Victor Wembanyama and Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard's three-point win, and the Chris Paul skills challenge controversy. From there, the conversation turns serious: Adam Silver's response to tanking, fines handed down to teams like Utah and Indiana, and what real structural changes (draft reform? moving the trade deadline?) could fix the problem. College basketball coverage dives into on-court fights, dangerous plays, and Jerome Tang's firing after a brutally honest press conference at Kansas State. The hosts preview major matchups, assess draft prospects like Darren Peterson and Cameron Boozer, and break down Florida's resurgence and the shifting NCAA landscape. NFL talk includes a full betting season recap, the Tyreek Hill release and potential landing spots, and a spirited debate over NFL team report cards, workplace perks, and owner accountability. The episode also touches on Michael Jordan's Daytona 500 ownership milestone, an Olympic curling cheating controversy between Canada and Sweden, a canceled ski-jump round due to weather, and how Peacock's “Gold Zone” coverage is shaping Olympic viewing habits. Throughout the episode, Willie and Zach debate responsibility, league overreach, fan value, and what would actually make sports better to watch — or attend — in 2026.

Margaret and Amy talk with safety expert and digital creator Dannah Eve, author of the new book STREET SMARTS, about the steps women can take to be safer in our daily lives—and how to teach age-appropriate techniques to our children. Drawing on her background in criminology and her experience as a parent, Dannah shares practical strategies for trusting your instincts, recognizing red flags, and navigating both physical and digital spaces with confidence. The conversation explores why women are often taught to suppress their intuition, the science behind fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and how rehearsing “what if” scenarios can help families respond more effectively in real-life situations. Margaret, Amy, and Dannah also discuss how to talk to kids about tricky people without resorting to outdated “stranger danger” messaging, and how open communication is a powerful tool for parents to have.

The SuperHero Homies! Podcast returns with a packed episode featuring a full spoiler review of Marvel Studios' Wonder Man TV series, plus a major conversation about the future of fantasy adaptations in Hollywood. We kick things off with a cold open breaking down the groundbreaking deal between Brandon Sanderson and Apple, and what it could mean for the live action Cosmere universe. We discuss potential Mistborn movies, a Stormlight Archive TV series, fan casting ideas, Sanderson's creative control over his IP, and why this partnership has fantasy and sci-fi fans excited. For our main discussion, we dive deep into Wonder Man, Marvel's latest Disney+ series. Instead of following a traditional superhero formula, Wonder Man leans into a character study and buddy comedy, focusing on tone, relationships, and self-discovery rather than massive world-ending stakes. We discuss why many viewers seem to love the show, including one of the hosts, while also examining where it falls short. One of us thinks the series feels low stakes and meandering at times, while both of us agree that Wonder Man still represents a refreshing creative swing for the MCU. If you enjoy MCU TV reviews, Marvel Disney+ discussions, comic book adaptations, superhero podcasts, and pop culture breakdowns, this episode is for you.

Amy talks with developmental psychologists Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Dr. Roberta Golinkoff, authors of the newly revised parenting classic EINSTEIN NEVER USED FLASHCARDS, about why today's parents feel more pressured than ever to optimize every moment of childhood—and why research shows that approach often backfires.

You'll learn: Why play-based learning leads to better academic and emotional outcomes The five key conditions for how the human brain learns best Why “faster” and “earlier” aren't better for child development How everyday moments (like the grocery store or setting the table) are powerful learning opportunities The effects of AI toys and excessive screen use How simple games build executive function and social skills A practical mantra for overwhelmed parents: reflect, resist, recenter This episode offers science-backed reassurance that children don't need flashcards, apps, or enrichment overload—what they need most is playful, joyful, human connection.

Years ago, back when I first started this podcast, I shared an episode entitled "The comfort of being single." I will link to that podcast below. It's one of the most listened to episodes.My clients, always serving as the greatest mirror, reminded me this topic was worth revisiting. I find it to be an extremely comment sentiment, but it often gets buried with feelings of: There's something wrong with me. I should just date more. If I want a relationship, why am I not trying harder?This episode will resonate if you find yourself single and deeply resistant to dating, or stuck in a series of short or largely unsuccessful relationships, and can't seem to shake the pattern. In it I cover:The deeper reasons as to why we resist dating or find our relationship attempts always fall shortHow and why we shame and blame ourselves — saying we're too picky and not trying hard enough — and how that actually isn't trueHow much of remaining single has to do with maintaining controlWays you can better understand your own relationship patternsEpisode 11Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

Margaret talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Meredith Elkins, author of the new book PARENTING ANXIETY, about how anxiety really works—and how parents can stop unintentionally reinforcing it in themselves and their kids. Dr. Elkins, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program, shares insights from her new book Parenting Anxiety: Breaking the Cycle of Worry and Raising Resilient Kids. Together, they unpack why anxiety isn't something to eliminate, how avoidance makes fear stronger, and why modern “intensive parenting” may be increasing anxiety for both parents and children. You'll learn the three key markers that distinguish normal anxiety from an anxiety disorder (interference, distress, and duration), why psychological flexibility is one of the most important skills we can teach kids, and how cognitive behavioral therapy—especially exposure—helps people face fear instead of shrinking from it. This conversation offers practical, compassionate tools for parents who want to support anxious kids without over-accommodating, and for anyone who wants to change their relationship with anxiety itself.

Why does winter affect our mood—and why are teens especially vulnerable? Amy talks with Dr. Greg Hammer, author of the book A MINDFUL TEEN, about the science behind the winter blues, teen mental health, and how simple mindfulness practices can help families feel better. Dr. Hammer explains how reduced sunlight, disrupted sleep, less physical activity, and holiday stress all contribute to seasonal mood changes—and why teens, who are already sleep-deprived and under pressure, can struggle even more during the winter months. The conversation explores the difference between everyday winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and when parents should consider professional support. Amy and Dr. Hammer also discuss the definition of "mindfulness" and the GAIN method—Dr. Hammer's practical, accessible framework built around Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment. Dr. Hammer shares how mindfulness can be practiced in as little as three minutes a day, why self-judgment fuels stress and burnout, and how parents can model emotional regulation without lecturing their teens.

What happens when the ambition that once fueled your identity no longer fits your life? Margaret talks with writer and producer Amil Niazi about her new book, LIFE AFTER AMBITION, and the complicated relationship between work, motherhood, and meaning. Amil shares how her understanding of ambition evolved—from a bottomless pursuit shaped by hustle culture, immigrant expectations, and meritocracy myths, to a more honest reckoning with limits, inequality, and the idea of “enough.” They discuss how the gig economy and instability of modern work make traditional success narratives feel hollow, especially for women and parents. The conversation also explores how ambition intersects with motherhood, including the hidden labor of working moms, the pressure to appear endlessly capable, and the cost of keeping personal struggles invisible at work. Amil reflects on modeling healthier values around work for her children, breaking generational patterns, and finding fulfillment without constant striving. This episode offers a thoughtful, compassionate look at redefining success—and permission to step off the treadmill without losing purpose.

Kids have a less time for unsupervised, unstructured play than they did 40-50 years ago. Kids are also a lot less happy then they were back then. But has one actually caused the other? A new study says it has. Psychologist Dr. Peter Gray and his associates at Boston College recently published the paper ⁠Decline in independent activity as a cause of decline in children's mental well-being,⁠ which suggests that the decline in play and the decline in children's well-being are directly correlated: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders (among children and teens) is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam and engage in other activities, independent of direct oversight and control by adults.” In this episode we discuss the fascinating research explored in this study, the difference in our freewheeling neighborhood childhoods and our own kids' more curated daily existences, and how letting our children take independent risks—and even get a few bumps and bruises— is setting them up for a sense of well-being that is all their own. Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: ⁠The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast⁠ is new to Adalyst Media! 200 episodes of inspiration on how to reclaim the finite moments of childhood through prioritizing outdoor play. our⁠ recent Fresh Take with Dr. Camilo Ortiz⁠ Peter Gray, et. al: ⁠"Decline in Independent Activity as a Cause of Decline in Children's Mental Wellbeing,"⁠ Journal of Pediatrics Mia Venkat, Kathryn Fox, Juana Summers for NPR: ⁠"How lack of independent play is impacting children's mental health"⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Trigger warning: this episode contains mention of child abuse and suicidal ideation. Amy and Margaret talk with Glen Henry—creator of Beleaf in Fatherhood and author of the new book Father Yourself First—about breaking cycles, reimagining fatherhood, and learning to parent with intention, grace, and community. Glen shares his journey from growing up in a difficult household to becoming a present, emotionally attuned father, and how mentorship, open communication, and self-work helped reshape his parenting. They discuss navigating hard conversations with children about race and safety, deconstructing the voices we've internalized from our own parents, and why parents must learn to “father themselves first.” Glen also explores the importance of modeling real family life, finding mentors, building community, and creating an inner voice rooted in compassion instead of fear or old wounds. This moving conversation is especially powerful for parents who didn't grow up with healthy models and are working to create something new for their own families.

Amy and Margaret talk with Kate Baer, three-time New York Times bestselling poet, about her new poetry collection How About Now— a book born out of a season of unexpected change. From sudden health crises to the shifting identity of motherhood, Kate invites us into the raw material of her life — and shows us how poetry can hold what the forms and boxes of everyday life cannot. We talk about how time begins to accelerate in midlife, how our bodies both betray and reveal us, and how friendship, marriage, and motherhood become the scaffolding for truth-telling.

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we kick things off with a classic, but not in the way you'd expect. Bec brings us the latest trend watch: "Americana Reboot." Think Rebel Without a Cause, but swap James Dean for James Clean. We're talking aged Levi's, cowboy boots, and fresh-faced mustaches. It's rugged vintage meets sterile chic; and not just on celebs, but in everyday style scenes you might not expect. Turns out, you can bring the wild west to the workplace, hold the dust. Then we're back at it with Part 2 of your most pressing wardrobe woes, because last week's listener questions left us wanting more. First up: how do you make a shirt and tie combo look cool without resorting to a neck tattoo? We've got the layers, textures, and attitude to pull it off. Next, flannel shirts. Is it possible to wear them without looking like you time traveled straight from 1992 Seattle? Spoiler: yes, and we'll tell you how. We also ironed out coat conundrums, how to bring skinny jeans back with confidence, and of course, more of your style SOS messages; answered with our signature mix of insight and irreverence. Keep it stylish!
