Do you know the story of how parkrun ended up in Australia? Or that dogs used to be registered to run? Or that Australia has made it our own? Neither did we until we caught up with parkrun Australian's founder, Tim Oberg. Tim was the person who brought largest free running activity to Australia and grew it to what it is today. And now he's ready to help kids find a love of moving their body through the RAD Run Club. On any given Saturday morning, around 6000 Australians volunteer to ensure parkrun runs smoothly and we would like to shout out this amazing community contribution this National Volunteers Week.

I've spent over 30 years in the food industry, but my relationship with what's on my plate started long before that, in the markets of Alexandria, Egypt. In this special episode, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Abby of One Potato, where we peel back the layers on something I believe in with my whole heart: food is agency, power, and responsibility. We get real about the moment my father's cancer diagnosis made food safety personal, and why my husband's health journey connected the dots back to the pesticides we accept as normal. For National Nutrition Month, we're cutting through the noise of fear-based diet culture to talk about what truly nourishes us. We discuss reclaiming carbs without guilt, the "racist" undertones of America's food rules, and how to raise kids who cook without turning mealtime into a battle. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the grocery store or wondered how to thrive in midlife instead of just shrinking, this is the conversation you need to hear. Let's dig in. 0:00 – Intro: Why This Conversation Matters for National Nutrition Month 2:48 – Growing Up in Egypt: The Rhythm of Daily Markets and Family Tables 3:11 – Immigrating to the US: The Culture Shock of Sterile Grocery Stores 7:59 – The Wake-Up Call: Becoming a Parent and Facing a Polluted Food System 9:38 – Food as Culture: Why America's Protein Rules Feel "Racist" and Elitist 11:56 – Personal Connection: My Husband's Cancer and the Truth About Roundup 17:03 – Defining Clean Eating: It's Not About Restriction, It's About State 22:37 – The #1 Habit: Just Cook (And Why It's a Bonding Experience) 23:06 – Family Memory: The Emotional Power of Molokhia, the Soup of Kings 28:13 – Picky Eaters: 3 Tips to Get Kids to Try New Foods (Without the Fight) 37:44 – Thriving Over 40 42:21 – My Journey Back to Bread 44:52 – Essential Cooking Skills: Grilling and Poaching for Everyone 46:49 – Rapid Fire: Pantry Staples, Superfood Sprinkle, and Favorite Tools 55:23 – Outro & Listener Takeaways Food as power, Chef Mareya interview, One Potato podcast, clean eating definition, how to raise kids who cook, picky eater tips for parents, immigrant food stories, Egyptian food Molokhia, pesticide residue on food, Roundup cancer risk, non-toxic living, thriving in midlife, recondition your taste buds, anti-diet culture nutrition, National Nutrition Month 2026, The Real Dish, Chef Mareya, the fit foodie, Podcastize Mentioned Resources Eat Cleaner (now owned by Clean Boss) Superfood Sprinkle Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Becoming a Fit Foodie (Cookbook) ChefMareya.com Whole Foods Market Alfalfa's Markets
Send a textIf you've ever found yourself repeating the same instruction three, four, or five times while your child seems to completely ignore you, you're not alone. In this episode, I walk you through a brain-first parenting framework that helps children actually hear, process, and act on what you ask the first time. Instead of escalating, repeating, or assuming defiance, we look at what's really happening inside a child's developing brain and nervous system—and how small leadership shifts from parents can dramatically improve cooperation.I share five powerful steps that help children listen more effectively while also protecting the parent-child relationship. These tools work with toddlers, school-age kids, and even teens because they focus on communication that matches how developing brains actually function. If you want calmer mornings, fewer power struggles, and a way to lead your family without yelling, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

Parents continue to go to extreme lengths to get their children into their preferred public schools.
We continue our look at youth and physical activity. How can gym classes be more engaging for more students? And how do you get young people more interested in maintaining an active lifestyle? UBC Okanagan education professor Stephen Berg joins the show.
✨ Start parenting with the entire 5 C's parenting framework → https://www.drlindsayemmerson.com/club Exhausted from repeating yourself? You're not alone—and it's not your fault. The way most of us communicate with our children accidentally teaches them they don't have to listen. In this episode, I show you the simple three-word shift that transforms how children respond to your requests. You'll discover why "Can you please..." is sabotaging you, the three words that get kids listening the first time, the crucial follow-through that makes it stick, why your tone matters as much as your words, and what to do when they still don't listen. This isn't about being mean or aggressive—it's about calm, clear communication that sets both you and your child up for success. #GetKidsToListen #ParentingCommunication #PositiveDiscipline #CalmParenting #ParentingTips New to my podcast?

Our hearts tell us we want to be outside, that we were created for nature…when it's warm and beautiful and sunny!I don't know about you, but I do find that when it's cold, rainy, snowing, or blowing, I tend to be grateful for my 4 walls, central heat, and mug of tea indoors.How can we change this paradigm in ourselves and in our culture where the outdoors is becoming less and less popular all the time?It doesn't happen by accident. To be intentional about outdoor and nature time, we have to be inspired. My guests today are the co-authors of a wonderful book about getting outdoors, Digging Into Nature: Outdoor Adventures for Happier and Healthier Kids, and they share research and physiology to remind us: Our kids need time outside. Much, much more time than they're getting!You'll be inspired by:how parenting has changed in the last 30 years & Dr. Glassy's wake-up calloutdoor benefits to physical and mental healthwhy parenting actually becomes easier when your kids are outside!what “counts” as a dose of naturesimple ways you can incorporate nature into your day – without even going out!how children's development is actually supercharged with outdoor experiencesthe ways in which time outside builds resilience and prepares kids and teens for real lifeI figure I need to listen to an interview like this about every 2 months to re-inspire me to make outside time a priority!

If nighttime currently feels like a hostage situation — tiny footsteps down the hall, endless requests for “one more kiss,” or a child who can only fall asleep if you stay glued to the side of their bed — you are so not alone. So many loving parents find themselves exhausted by bedtime battles, thinking, “I cannot have this battle right now. I'm done. I'm exhausted. Why does this have to be so hard?!”In this episode, Flora welcomes Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant Karen Winter of Winter Slumber: https://winterslumber.com/ to bring relief, clarity, and a fresh dose of hope. Through the lens of kind and firm parenting, we explore practical strategies that maintain connection while helping kids learn the life skill of sleeping in their own space. Why? Because at Sustainable Parenting we believe in guiding kids to become confident sleepers, while also having a loving bond. We believe you don't have to turn yourself into a prisoner of nighttime wake-ups, in order to be a “good mom”.By the time you finish listening, you will discover:• How to respond when your child pops out of bed again (and again).• Loving boundaries that end the cycle of “one more drink…” requests.• A step-by-step approach for kids who rely on you lying next to them to fall asleep.• Tools for discipline during night wake-ups, without yelling OR giving in.• How night-time wake-ups are actually a great space to practice growing new skills for raising a resilient kid.This conversation is your ticket to being the calm, confident parent you really want to be (even at the end of the day). Freedom from bedtime battles is possible, and you do not have to do it alone. Tune in to learn how even gentle parenting can have firm boundaries, so everyone can finally rest easy.

It's all about creating safe, supportive opportunities for connection—without putting too much pressure on anyone involved.

Building on the Five Ives framework she and her partner developed, she explains why common strategies like breathwork or meditation often fall flat when we are overwhelmed and in survival mode.

Send us a textEver feel like you're just not a "routines person"? Before you blame yourself, listen in. In this episode of the Real Happy Mom Podcast, we're breaking down five reasons why your routines aren't sticking—and none of them have to do with your motivation or willpower. If you've ever tried someone else's perfect system and felt like a failure, this is your reminder: it's not you, it's the routine.What You'll Learn:Why most routines are built for ideal conditions (and what to do instead).How to build a routine that fits your energy, season, and lifestyle.Why flexibility—not perfection—is the secret to consistency.3 Takeaways:Make It Fit Real Life: Routines built on someone else's perfect day won't survive real-life interruptions. Yours should bend with your season, not break at the first challenge.Keep It Simple + Flexible: Small, repeatable routines—like a 10-minute tidy or 3-step morning reset—are more effective than rigid, overwhelming systems.You're Not the Problem—The System Might Be: You don't need more discipline—you need tools that support you, not stress you out. A Trello board or 3 go-to dinners might be your real secret weapon.Links & Resources Mentioned:
