Your Nerd Best Friends are back with a chaotic cozy episode full of updates, randomness, and nerd joy. This week, Analese and Rob catch up on what they've been doing in their nerd lives lately — from tiny obsessions to big creative swings, questionable impulse purchases, hobby rabbit holes, and those moments where your brain says, “We can do that!” …and suddenly it's 1am and you're rearranging bookshelves or building a new game character for a campaign you're not even in yet.Analese gets ready for old person marching band and Rob confesses his latest nerd project involving Notebook LM during D&D, and both try to decide whether new hobbies are productive or just a socially acceptable form of procrastination… we support either way.

What if the secret to more connected parenting isn't about getting everything right — but about showing up enough to make things right when you don't? In this week's episode, Rachael Clinton Chen talks with Eli Harwood, aka @attachmentnerd — licensed therapist, award-winning author, and one of Instagram's most trusted voices on attachment and parenting. They dive into how our own attachment stories shape the way we relate to our kids, why being “good enough” really is enough, and how creating space for repair and consistency beats striving for perfection every time. With a blend of science, personal stories, and down-to-earth advice, Eli reminds us that secure attachment isn't about flawless parenting — it's about presence, patience, and showing up again and again. Whether you're navigating the younger years, parenting teens, or unpacking your own childhood experiences, this conversation offers hope, grounding, and a fresh perspective. Visit her at AttachmentNerd.com where you can listen into her podcast, join the Nerd Herd, or even book an attachment coach. You can also follow her on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @attachmentnerd. And don't forget to check out her books: Securely Attached: Transform Your Attachment Patterns into Loving, Lasting Romantic Relationships and Raising Securely Attached Kids: Using Connection-Focused Parenting to Create Confidence, Empathy & Resilience.
