Dr. Lindsay Malloy is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Ontario Tech University, specializing in developmental and forensic psychology.  Lindsay is also the co-founder of Pandemic Parenting, a nonprofit organization providing free and accessible science-based resources to parents and caregivers.  Pandemic Parenting began as a collaboration between Dr. Amanda Zelechoski (a previous guest) and Lindsay: two psychologists, scholars, and moms committed to sharing their expertise and research with families. Lindsay discusses strategies parents can use to help their kids adapt to an ever-changing environment.  From establishing routines and maintaining adequate self-care to understanding that your vision of balance today may look completely different than the day before.  Lindsay points out that "comparison is the thief of joy." Lindsay and her team have turned Pandemic Parenting into a digital hub for parents with multiple mediums and resources, no matter what stage of parenting you may be at.  It is a free resource that I encourage all parents to take advantage of as we continue navigating through this pandemic.   Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Lindsay Malloy.

I've been wanting to talk about parenting with chronic illness for some time, since it's a big part of my everyday life. I'm sitting down with myself and my husband to talk about his experiences with fibromyalgia, and what it's like raising the most energetic four-year-old boy. This week, episode 31 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is sharing how we handled pandemic parenting with chronic illness! When getting ready for a baby, it's so easy for YOU to get lost in the shuffle. This is why I want to share with you my parent-centered pregnancy class. Let's support your ongoing well-being as a parent: relieve aches and pains, minimize responses to stress, unwind and sleep better.

His high-pressure career in the trading industry was interrupted by his health conditions. Now he likes to connect online with his people in the chronic illness community and to advocate for those with chronic health conditions, and parents of children under five.In this episode of Poised & Powerful Podcast, my husband and I discuss the following:The winding roads to getting diagnosed with chronic illness. How a chronic illness can ebb and flow, but that isn't the same as “getting better.” How having a chronic illness as a parent changes the parenting game, and how we co-parent our child with our own limited energy levels. The baggage around wanting to appear normal and do what “every other family is doing” with their children, versus the reality of having a family where chronic illness affects our decisions. The power in asking each other for what we need, and how we draw in outside support.Being a parent of a young child and having a chronic illness, or having a partner with a chronic illness, is life-altering. Your lifestyle isn't going to look like everyone else's, and that's ok. We've learned to speak up and ask for help when we need it, and are learning our new normal.Thank you for listening!

Welcome to the second episode of the Defacto Dad podcast! Victoria joins me again to talk about this week's Walt Disney World News before we talk about our views on the Easter holiday, and the lack of emotional support for fathers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Disney Parks News, I start with Disneyland Paris and talk about a special livestream event featuring Disney Imagineers (including a Disney Legend) that celebrated Disneyland Paris' 30th anniversary. I talk about highlights from the event, share a funny story about our wild experience on Disneyland Paris' version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and give an update about the new Avengers Deployment Vehicle. I then talk about Hong Kong Disneyland's reopening date, and the new popcorn bucket and sipper coming to Disneyland to coincide with the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade. Regarding Walt Disney World, I give an update on Expedition Everest's operation, explain what the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is all about, and talk about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride previews, and HOW WE GOT A TICKET TO A RIDE PREVIEW! Learn about how we secured the bag, and how we are planning for our next Walt Disney world trip. In our Pandemic Parenting and Fatherhood segment, we first talk about holidays--specifically Easter--and how we grew up with different traditions to celebrate, and how we often battle over what traditions we want to establish for our children. (Spoiler: the Easter Bunny performed very different tasks when he visited our respective houses each year.) On a serious note, we talk about a Stress in America report published by the American Psychological Association, and how it revealed that parents, and especially fathers, suffered from a lack of support during the ongoing pandemic. We explain what that report found regarding mental health struggles and emotional support, discuss the report's recommendations, and tell you all about how we learned to cope with isolation and the lack of support during our own pandemic journey.

Whether we're technically post pandemic or not at this point, we can all agree that parenting has some additional challenges now - especially when you're not sure if your kid is OK. Our kids are out and about in the world, quarantine is over, schools are open, mask requirements are ending, and sports and other activities are a thing again. But getting “back to normal” isn't that simple. In this episode, I'm talking about the after-effects of quarantine on kids, the worries and frustrations parents are having and giving you some strategies to cope.  Parenting in a pandemicAmong other things, quarantine had a big effect on our kids' development. Think of child development like a train on a track, chugging along toward adulthood. But in March 2020, all the trains stopped. And kids got out at whatever station they were nearest to. Your child's development and growth continued - but in isolation. They weren't developing in community with others. When school, sports and other activities started up again, kids got back on the developmental train, but they'd been propelled forward, passing stations along the way. ​ The catching up they're doing now creates a lot of stress.  Post pandemic lifeStress shows up in our kids in a lot of different ways. And their stress creates a stress response in parents, too. When you feel worried, overwhelmed and uncertain about how to help your child, you may find yourself signing them up for all the things, pushing them harder and trying to get them back on track. Without realizing it, you're putting even more pressure on your kids. Listen to the full episode now to for ideas on how to support your child through this new stage.

In this episode, the Mocha SMCs provide an update on the last few weeks and discuss topics such as changing covid protocol in schools, dating, the Black sperm shortage, and handling the awkward conversations from school parents when they ask "Where's the Daddy".

At the start of the pandemic, especially during the quarantine phase, we all saw the constant posts on social media about all of the free time people had for new hobbies, exercising, cleaning, and random projects. But those individuals trying to juggle being an all of a sudden 24/7 parent and young professional with a career often felt like they were drowning in an environment of constant kids and work. Fast forward two years or so and things may be normalizing for many people, but young professionals with children are still having to live in their ongoing covid-induced purgatory of career stress, parenting and childcare. The pandemic has drastically changed the way the legal world works, but it's also radically altered the way young attorneys with children make their way through balancing their careers and family life. Constant childcare closures, adapting to evolving health and safety parameters, family health concerns, court closures, virtual court appearances, and the never-ending string of surprises that having a young child entail, have all combined to make it a challenging time to be a young legal professional and parent. The pandemic offers a crossroads opportunity: Firms can take what they've learned from the COVID-19 work experience and adjust practices to accommodate working mothers, or they can revert to the status quo that continues to threaten retention rates and their bottom lines. In this episode of Show Cause, our guest is Sarah Stuart, an associate at the Memphis firm of Burch, Porter and Johnson, and the mother of an 18-month-old little girl. She's a 2016 Memphis Law graduate, and prior to joining Burch Porter in August of 2018, she served as a law clerk to both the Honorable Bernice B. Donald and the Honorable Sheri Lipman. She and her husband Reed found out they were pregnant at the very beginning of the pandemic and with the majority of their family residing out-of-town, have since braved the world of pandemic parenting as best they could, with a bit of luck, help, and stretching the limits of patience. Take a listen and learn more about what it's like to be a parent and young attorney in these trying times. And what lessons can be learned from it going forward.

Buckle up, y'all, because this week on Parent Tell Kaila is finally dedicating an episode to what it has been like to parent amidst a global pandemic. Denise (from the episode, 'What Do You Mean You're Not A Baby Person?') joins Kaila for the second time on the podcast and the two moms dive right into how hard, isolating, and scary the past 2 years have been for parents with children but most notably for those with children under the age of 5. So far, we have all made it through an unprecedented time and through various ups and downs (not to mention multiple variants, big yikes), but sometimes ya gotta acknowledge the pink elephant in the room and vocalize how trying (read: all around traumatizing) this really has been.

This week's episode of Parent Tell focuses on the extremely unequal "balance" (lol, that's just what they want us to think) that almost always exists between the birthing person and their partner when it comes to figuring how how this whole having and raising a child thing is going to work. Kaila spoke with an old friend and new mom, Kisha, about her experiences with suddenly being left to do 99.9999% of the parenting after her son was born, when there had been zero previous indications in her marriage that that's how it was all going to go down.Kaila and Kisha hone in on where our individual ideas of what parenting and domesticity come from, why we need to potentially flip the script and be the opposite of the domestic role models we had growing up, as well as how these two women themselves are working really hard to do just that.  Because when you know better it's time to do better for ourselves, our loved ones, and especially those kiddos who are watching and learning.For more information about Kaila, episode topics and behind the scenes details, and of course painfully relatable memes follow Parent Tell on InstagramIn the mood to tell about your parenting?
