Trying to have a conversation with your teenager? You ask how their day was and get "fine." You ask who was at the party and get "no one." You ask what they're doing and get "nothing." Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful soundtracks from our Parents and Teens card deck that will help you start real conversations with your teenager. These aren't hypothetical parenting tips. I raised two teenagers, and these are straight from my own dinner table. You'll discover why "if you wouldn't say it to a friend, don't say it to yourself" teaches self awareness, how "this is my first time too" opens up vulnerability and deeper connection, and why teenagers need to think of their parents as "investors in YOU Inc." These conversation starters are natural, simple, and designed to help you move from quantity time to quality time. Because here's the reality: you don't get one deep conversation. You practice these cards over and over until card number seven or fourteen changes everything.In This Episode:Grab your very own Soundtracks Conversations Card Deck for Parents & Teens Make sure to follow me on Instagram and share with your friends!Keep up with my book list on GoodReads!Sign up for my newsletter, Try This!Book me to speak at your event or to your team!You can grab a copy of my book All It Takes Is a Goal from your favorite bookstore or at my website!Sign up for the Remarkable You Community today!
It can't be that hard, right?
There are certain life paths that are treated like defaults.Go to school. Build a career. Find a partner. Have children.These milestones are so normalized that questioning them can feel… rebellious. Even selfish. Even wrong.
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The jury needed less than two hours. Colin Gray is guilty of second-degree murder on all 29 counts—the first parent in Georgia history convicted for a school shooting committed by his child.The evidence was overwhelming. The FBI warned Colin Gray in 2023 after his son threatened to shoot up a school online. His response? Buy the fourteen-year-old an AR-15 for Christmas seven months later. No safe. No lock. The rifle stayed in Colt Gray's bedroom next to a shrine of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz—which Colin Gray claimed he thought was "the guy from Green Day."His own family sealed the conviction. His daughter testified he asked her to lie to investigators. His estranged wife said she begged him to lock up the guns. Weeks before the Apalachee High School shooting, Colt texted his father: "Whenever something happens just know the blood is on your hands." Colin Gray convinced himself it meant something else.The morning of the shooting, Colt sent goodbye texts. Colin Gray read them. He didn't call the school. Didn't leave work. Stopped at QuikTrip for a drink on the way home while two teachers and two students lay dead.Colin Gray took the stand as his only defense witness. He cried. He swore he never saw the evil coming. The jury rejected that entirely—guilty on every count in under two hours.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the defense strategy that failed, the testimony that sealed Colin Gray's fate, and whether this verdict creates a new legal standard for parental accountability or remains an outlier for extreme facts. The Crumbleys got manslaughter in Michigan. Georgia got murder. The rules just changed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ask Rachel anythingThank you, thank you, thank you, Wirohugo for your incredible donation. You are so kind! My fifteen year old boy seems to show no curiousity about the world. Does not know countries, capitals, does not read (except when incentived). Today, he didn't recognise the neighbouring village which we drive through many times. He is middling at school but good at some subjects. So, not a dunce! Is it digital distraction? Is it common? I searched your shows and could not find any record of this being discussed.

In today's episode I sit down with professor Ann Masten to unpack what resilience actually means—and why it's so often misunderstood. We explore her powerful definition of resilience as the capacity of a system to adapt to serious challenges, not just a personality trait or inner toughness. From everyday stress to real adversity, we discuss the difference between harmful trauma and growth-building challenges, and why kids need support—not perfection—to thrive. We talk about the “ordinary magic” of caring relationships, schools, communities, and cultural traditions, and why resilience is built through connection across multiple systems.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

EP:182 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I'm diving deep into one of the biggest reasons so many of us feel exhausted, resentful, and burnt out: regulating externally instead of internally. I'm breaking down the difference between the two in real-life, practical terms. When we regulate externally, we rely on our partners, kids, parents, friends, or even the state of our house to determine how we feel. We wait for someone else to notice we're drowning, to give us permission to rest, to step in and take over. And when they don't? We feel angry, unseen, and completely overwhelmed. I share how this showed up in my own life—how I used to abandon myself over and over again, scheduling everything around my family, believing my worth came from doing more, people-pleasing, and hoping that one day someone would finally “get it” and take care of me the way I needed. Spoiler: that moment never came… until I decided to become the one who takes care of me. We'll talk about: Why your partner (or kids, or parents) are not mind readers—and why expecting them to be is wrecking your nervous system How external regulation fuels resentment, burnout, and emotional explosions with your kids and partner The internal shift that happens when you start asking, “How do I feel? What do I need?” and actually trust the answer Why it feels so uncomfortable at first to set boundaries, receive help, and stop over-functioning for everyone else How trial and error, small experiments, and tiny acts of self-honoring build a completely new pattern in your brain Why your hobbies, preferences, and “little joys” aren't frivolous—they're actually nervous system regulation tools I also share a personal story from early in my marriage, when our therapist gave us an exercise where Jonathan had to cook dinner and I had to practice simply receiving. I walk you through how hard it was for me not to control, fix, or “help,” and how that moment revealed just how deeply I was stuck in external regulation and self-abandonment. By the end of this episode, you'll be able to: Identify whether you're regulating externally or internally Start asking better questions of yourself: What do I feel? What do I need? Can I give this to myself? See where resentment in your relationships might actually be a sign that it's time to take radical responsibility for your own nervous system Begin shifting from relying on everyone else… to trusting that you can hold, support, and care for you This isn't about becoming hyper-independent or never asking for help. It's about learning to anchor yourself first, then intentionally and clearly asking for what you need—without outsourcing your worth or your regulation to the people around you. If you are tired of feeling like you're treading water, waiting for someone to throw you a life raft, this episode will show you how to build your own. If this episode hit home for you, I want you to do two things: Pause after listening and check in with yourself: Ask, “How do I feel right now? What do I need?”—and then give yourself one small thing that supports your nervous system today. Share this episode with another parent who is drowning in resentment, burnout, or “doing it all.” Screenshot the episode, tag me @drbrookeweinstein, and tell me one way you're going to start regulating internally instead of externally.

He explains that procedural due process acts as the court's "user manual," requiring the three pillars of official notice, a meaningful opportunity to be heard, and an impartial judge to ensure the legal process is fair. Mark then dives into substantive due process, which protects the fundamental liberty interest parents have in the care and control of their children. Because these rights are fundamental, the state must meet the "strict scrutiny" standard, proving they have a compelling reason—such as preventing immediate physical harm—before they can legally interfere with a family. Ultimately, he illustrates how procedural due process protects the trial itself, while substantive due process protects the very fabric of the family.

In this episode, I'm diving into the real-life side of the tooth fairy—because while the tradition sounds magical, parenting moments don't always go as planned. What happens when the tooth fairy forgets? What if your child wakes up early and the tooth is still under the pillow? I'm sharing why these moments aren't failures at all, but powerful opportunities to connect with our kids and teach them something meaningful about their bodies and growth. We'll also talk about the pressure parents feel around tooth fairy traditions—especially when money and comparisons get involved. How much should the tooth fairy leave? Does it even matter? I'll explore ways to shift the focus away from transactions and toward intention, connection, and creating traditions that truly support our kids' understanding of their health, their bodies, and their self-worth.

Send a text#079. In this episode, Justin sits down with Peter Swain — serial entrepreneur, AI strategist, and dad of two — to explore how artificial intelligence is radically reshaping the world of business, parenting, and financial freedom.Peter has spent his career at the cutting edge of disruptive technology, from building some of Europe's earliest websites and working directly with Steve Jobs, to now advising entrepreneurs and organizations around the world on harnessing AI without losing their humanity. And his message is clear: when it comes to AI, there is no middle ground. There's a thrive option and a die option — and the clock is ticking.In this episode, you'll learn:Why AI is not optional for entrepreneurs and what "thrive or die" really means for your business and your family's financial futureThe four levels of AI adoption — and how to move from using it as a glorified Google to building end-to-end businesses that run without human interventionHow Peter is building a business he projects could generate over $100 million a year with zero human employees — and the jaw-dropping math behind itWhy context matters more than prompting — and the 500-to-1 ratio that will immediately improve everything you get out of AIPeter's simple 15-minute-a-day prescription for any parent or entrepreneur who doesn't know where to start with AIThe concept of "whole life decision making" — how Peter feeds AI his spiritual, financial, family and personal goals so every business decision serves his whole life, not just his bottom lineWhat 30% unemployment could actually look like — and the three solutions being discussed at the highest levels of government and businessWhy Peter is focused entirely on soft skills when raising his kids — empathy, adaptability, resilience and communication — and why those are the skills AI still can't replicateHow Peter's kids are already learning entrepreneurial thinking at home — with debit cards, chores, and pitching dad for what they wantThis episode will challenge the way you think about work, freedom, technology and what it means to set your kids up for a future that looks nothing like today.Show notes and more at:https://moneydadpodcast.com/session079Support the show
"Listening isn't just about hearing words. It's about understanding the emotions behind the words." Great service rarely comes from scripts or policies. It comes from simple human moments. When people feel seen, heard, and valued, something powerful happens—trust grows, relationships deepen, and even small interactions become memorable. The real opportunity often hides inside frustration. Complaints aren't just problems to solve; they're signals pointing to where connection and service can improve. The difference between an ordinary interaction and an extraordinary one is usually just attention, empathy, and a willingness to truly listen. Joan Johnson calls this becoming a "customer whisperer." Drawing on more than five decades of leadership experience, she explains how listening carefully, responding with empathy, and noticing small details can transform everyday service moments. Joan also reframes complaints as valuable feedback—opportunities that reveal what customers truly need and how organizations can serve them better. Joan is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and transformational coach with more than 50 years of experience in public service, including leadership roles with the Ontario government. Today she helps leaders build cultures of empathy, resilience, and exceptional service.

Why do we keep repeating relationship patterns even when we know better? In this honest and insightful coaching session, Christine works with Amanda, who recognizes a long-standing pattern of choosing partners with narcissistic traits, emotional avoidance, or chaotic lifestyles. Despite strong intuition warning her early on, she finds herself staying in these relationships until they reach a painful breaking point. Christine helps Amanda uncover the deeper root of the pattern: the inner child seeking to recreate familiar dynamics from childhood in hopes of finally receiving the love, validation, and stability that were missing. Through the conversation, Amanda begins to see how self-worth, validation, and unconscious beliefs about love have been influencing her choices. If you've ever wondered why you continue to repeat the same relationship dynamics — even after years of personal development work — this episode will help you understand how real change happens through re-parenting yourself and building a secure relationship within. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you notice yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships? Are you drawn to people who need fixing, saving, or rescuing? Do you sometimes ignore your intuition early in relationships? Do you place partners on a pedestal and abandon your own needs? Are feelings of shame or self-judgment keeping you stuck in old patterns? Key Insights and A-HAs: Relationship patterns often mirror unresolved childhood dynamics. The inner child seeks familiar situations in hopes of finally getting unmet needs fulfilled. Intellectual understanding alone does not change subconscious patterns. Self-worth struggles can lead to placing others on a pedestal. Shame heals through compassion and understanding — not judgment. Real change happens through re-parenting yourself in real time. How to Deepen the Work: Practice validating your feelings instead of dismissing them. When shame or self-judgment arises, respond with compassion: "Of course I feel this way." Notice when younger parts of you are driving your decisions in relationships. Begin relating to yourself as a supportive parent would to a child. Shift from analyzing patterns to actively rewiring your responses in everyday moments. Course: Rewired – Inner Child Healing Christine is opening enrollment for Rewired, her live inner child healing course designed to help you shift subconscious patterns and build a secure relationship with yourself. The program includes live coaching sessions, somatic and breathwork practices, and ongoing support designed to help you rewire the beliefs and nervous system patterns formed in childhood.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Guilty. All 29 counts. Second-degree murder.Colin Gray is now the third parent in American history convicted for a school shooting committed by their child—and the first to catch murder charges, not just manslaughter. A Georgia jury needed less than two hours to decide his fate.Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to unpack the verdict, the failed defense, and whether this case just redrew the line on parental accountability nationwide.Prosecutors called Colin Gray "the one person who could have prevented" the Apalachee High School massacre. They showed the jury everything: the FBI warning he ignored, the "shrine" to Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz in his son's bedroom, the text where Colt told his father "the blood is on your hands" weeks before killing four people.Colin's daughter Jenni—now in foster care, using a different name—testified her father asked her to cover for him. His wife Marcee testified she begged him to lock up the guns. Body cam footage captured Colin saying "God, I knew it" minutes after the shooting.His defense? He took the stand alone. Cried. Said he never saw it coming. Said Colt was "a good kid" with "a whole other side I didn't know existed."The jury didn't buy it.Bob Motta breaks down what went wrong, what this verdict signals to prosecutors across the country, and whether Colin Gray's conviction is the new floor—or still the exception.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Clay goes full no-filter mode in this legendary segment, drawing a hard line between actual single moms and “moms who are single.” He calls out the ones who weaponized the court system out of jealousy after dad chose “Becky with the big butt,” dragged every text, screenshot, and nude photo into family court, won full custody, and now only let dad see the kids every other weekend… then complain they get no help. “Twelve out of fourteen days you chose this,” Clay says. “You're not a single mom — you're a mom who's single.” Then he flips the script and gives single dads the ultimate game plan: take the kids to the Cypress Point safari and petting zoo, send them home raving about “what Daddy did,” and watch Mom turn into the bad guy while you collect the Parent of the Month award. He even predicts the hate mail: “I know all the single moms — I'm gonna be getting it on this one… but I meant every word of it.” Raw, real, and 100% Clay Edwards. You've been warned.

Previously on Dear Moulana, in the story A Mother's Last Wish, Mualimah Halima met with Moulana to share her concerns. She told him about a family discussion where she expressed her wish to move into an old-age home and rent out her house. Her children were unhappy with the idea and later held a meeting without her, deciding to make what they believed was the best decision about their mother's life.
We weren't built to live in a constant state of “what's next.” Yet that low-grade restless hum has become normal in modern family life.

This episode unpacks the overdrive of wanting, the illusion of pleasure, and the practical shifts that can help you take back the steering wheel of your home. Less frantic scrolling. Less food noise. More calm. More creation. More real joy. We deserve better than Netflix. Get your copy of Dopamine Kids here . It's one of the best books I've ever read!

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I talk about relational issues — when children struggle socially, don't seem to connect with peers, or have difficulty maintaining friendships. I explain that these struggles are often rooted in a lack of identity or self-concept. When a child doesn't know who they are, they try on different roles from day to day, which makes it hard for other children to relate to them. In other cases, a child may have a consistent pattern of maladaptive behavior that creates distance in relationships. I walk through how child-centered play therapy helps. In the playroom, children experience unconditional acceptance and freedom from pressure. Over time, they begin to recognize how they want to show up in relationships. Without being forced or corrected, they develop self-awareness, self-concept, and a clearer sense of identity. As they grow into who they want to be, relational struggles begin to shift because other children can finally connect with someone who knows and accepts themselves.

Consistency in gymnastics can look so calm from the outside. But if you are the parent in the viewing room or in the car after practice, it often feels anything but calm. In this episode, I sit down with Asia Mape, four time Emmy winning sports producer and founder of I Love to Watch You Play, to talk about how parents can support their gymnasts without adding extra pressure.Asia's whole mission comes from one simple line. I love to watch you play. Gymnasts are not asking for more corrections from their parents. They want you to feed them, be normal, clap, and then tell them you love them. That is it. When we actually ask athletes what they want, the answers are simple. The problem is that parents are often caught in fear about levels, scores, and the future.Asia explains why it is so easy for gym parents to slide into over coaching and stress. We spend money on meets, leotards, and privates. We drive long hours to and from the gym. We care deeply about their dreams. That mix can turn into car lectures, sideline tension, and constant talk about results. Over time, that pressure can feed fear, mental blocks, burnout, and even injuries.We also talk about what to do instead. Asia shares how to ask your gymnast what she actually wants from you, how to remember the little girl who just loved to flip on the bed, and how to calm yourself in the stands so you do not make it about you. She also introduces the idea of positive gossip, using your words to quietly spread good news about coaches and kids in the gym, instead of complaints.If you are a gymnastics parent who has ever walked away from a meet thinking, I talked too much or I was too intense, this conversation will help you reset and show up in a way that protects your gymnast's joy and confidence.In this episode, you will hear• Why “I love to watch you play” is often the only message your gymnast really needs• What gymnasts say they actually want from their parents before and after meets• How pressure, money, and fear around levels can hurt your gymnast's mental health• Simple ways for parents to calm down in the viewing room and in the car• How positive gossip can change the mood on your team in a real wayIn this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, Asia Mape shares how small changes in your words and energy can help your gymnast feel safe, supported, and free to love her sport again.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

There are a lot of lies homeschool moms believe about their exhaustion. That they need a better curriculum. A tighter schedule. More discipline. But most of the time, the real answer goes much deeper than that. If you started this week with a cold cup of coffee, a house that doesn’t look like the ones on Pinterest, and a quiet voice in your head telling you you’re not doing enough — this episode is for you. Because that voice? It’s not telling you the truth. And the exhaustion you’re carrying? It’s not actually about the laundry. In this first episode of the Perfectionist to Present series, we’re pulling back the curtain on something most homeschool moms never talk about openly: the way perfectionism masquerades as responsibility — and slowly drains everything. What This Episode Is About: The Lies Homeschool Moms Believe This is a story. Several of them, actually. Because the truth about perfectionism — where it comes from, what it costs, and why it feels so hard to let go — can’t really be taught. It has to be recognized. And sometimes the fastest way to recognize something in yourself is to hear it in someone else’s story first. In this episode, you’ll hear about: A handmade circus tent (yes, really) and what it was actually about An eight-months-pregnant moment of abandonment and bone-deep exhaustion that cracked something open A Monday morning homeschool meltdown — the kind where you hear yourself yelling and wonder who that person is The childhood moment that quietly shaped decades of people-pleasing, peace-keeping, and proving And the first, small shift that made everything else possible The Thing Nobody Tells You About Perfectionism Most of us were never taught that perfectionism is a coping strategy. We were taught it was a personality trait — maybe even a virtue. She’s so detail-oriented. She has such high standards. She really cares. But here’s what’s underneath it: a belief, usually formed early and reinforced often, that your worth has to be earned. That if the house is clean enough, the birthday party elaborate enough, the homeschool schedule rigorous enough — then maybe you’ll finally feel like you’re enough. The exhausting part isn’t the circus tent. It’s the equation. If I do enough → I am enough. That equation is a lie. And it will run you into the ground before it ever delivers on its promise. For the Homeschool Mom Specifically There’s something uniquely brutal about perfectionism in the homeschool context. Because you’re not just managing a home — you’re also the educator, the curriculum director, the activity coordinator, the emotional regulator, and often the person holding the whole family’s nervous system together. The bar is invisible and always moving. And when Monday morning arrives and the kids are bickering, and the coffee is cold, and you snap — the perfectionist doesn’t just feel frustrated. She feels like she has failed. Like she is the problem. She isn’t. But it takes a while to see that clearly. This episode is the beginning of seeing it clearly. A Note on What This Series Is (And Isn’t) This month, we’re exploring four interconnected themes: Week 1 — Perfectionism: what it is, where it lives, and what it’s costing you (you’re here) Week 2 — The cost of keeping the peace: what years of self-erasure actually produce Week 3 — What coming back to yourself actually looks like Week 4 — Why you don’t have to do this alone (dropping the same day as our live retreat) Each episode will name something real. It won’t hand you a system. It will hand you a mirror — and maybe, if the timing is right, a door. Quotes Worth Sitting With “This isn’t about lowering your standards or caring less. It’s about caring about the right things.” “I was trying to silence that inner voice that told me I wasn’t good enough — a voice that had been shaped by harsh words from my childhood.” “I couldn’t accept imperfection in my family members because I couldn’t accept it in myself.” “I felt abandoned at the very moment I needed support the most.” “Every fiber of me was spent.” “You don’t rest because you’re at your wits’ end. You rest because you’re human.” If This Episode Resonated With You The moment after an episode like this — when something has been named, and you feel it in your chest — is actually really important. Not to do anything with. Just to be in. If you want a gentle, guided space to stay in that moment a little longer, I created a free mini-retreat you can do from your own home. Designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself without needing to go anywhere, or have childcare, or do anything perfectly.
In this episode, we're digging into one of the most common fears in the homeschool world: will homeschooling damage your relationship with your child? We unpack the idea of the “teacher hat” versus the “parent hat,” talk about where that pressure comes from, and explore what actually causes tension at home (hint: it's usually not homeschooling itself). Whether you're just starting out or feeling strain after years in, we share honest reflections, practical shifts, and reassurance that you don't have to choose between being a connected parent and an effective educator… the two aren't more closely related than you might think. We'd love to invite you to join our book club. Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you're not navigating this alone.

Schlep, real name Michael, is a 22‑year‑old YouTuber and content creator known for his hard‑hitting investigations exposing child predators on Roblox. Through sting operations and decoy accounts, his channel has uncovered widespread grooming networks using the platform to target minors. A survivor of Roblox grooming himself—exploited as a young teen by a prominent developer once promoted and partnered with the company. Schlep turned his personal trauma into a mission for accountability. His YouTube channel has directly contributed to multiple arrests of alleged predators who used Roblox to move victims to Discord for explicit content and real‑world encounters. A vocal critic of Roblox's safety failures and profit‑driven approach to its child‑heavy user base, Schlep has consistently challenged the company's moderation practices and its pattern of deplatforming whistleblowers. In August 2025, Roblox permanently banned him and issued a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening legal action, triggering the viral #FreeSchlep movement and major online backlash. Despite being banned from the platform, Schlep continues his predator‑catching work independently, collaborating with law enforcement to secure convictions and raising awareness of how Roblox profits from developer programs that can enable exploitation. Today, he is a leading advocate for stronger child safety laws and transparency in online gaming, exposing the gap between Roblox's “safe and educational” image and its systemic moderation failures.

How to Know If My Parent Is a Narcissist: Signs You Were Raised by Narcissistic Caregivers If you've ever found yourself asking, "Was this normal?" or "Why do I still struggle even though I'm an adult?"—this episode is for you. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the subtle and often misunderstood signs of narcissistic parenting, and how being raised by a narcissistic, emotionally neglectful, or emotionally immature parent can shape your nervous system, self-concept, and relationships well into adulthood. Rather than focusing on labels or blame, this conversation helps adult children understand what they adapted to in order to survive—and why so many struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, and codependency later in life. You'll learn: Common traits of narcissistic parents that often go unrecognized Why children internalize blame and self-abandonment How narcissistic parenting impacts emotional regulation and self-trust Why healing is about awareness and nervous system safety—not fixing yourself ✨ It's not you. ✨ It's your programming. ✨ And programming can be changed.

Laura Leighton takes us back inside the Melrose Place phenomenon and what it was really like to ride that wave before social media and smartphones changed everything. In this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Laura talks about launching the Melrose Place rewatch podcast Still the Place with Daphne Zuniga and Courtney Thorne Smith, why it feels so freeing to show up without a script, and the surprising emotional impact of revisiting a time that happened more than 30 years ago. Laura opens up about the cast bond that never went away, the real conversations happening around a potential Melrose Place reboot, and why creating your own opportunities matters more as Hollywood changes and roles for women narrow with age. She also shares the best thing that came out of Melrose Place, her 26 year marriage to co star Doug Savant, and what it means to raise a big family and now become a grandmother. You will also hear Laura on the shift from water cooler television to reality TV and TikTok culture, the strange new normal of being photographed everywhere, and why self tape auditions can feel harder than walking into a room. Plus, Laura tells two unforgettable stories from her career, a fan encounter so intense a nurse thought her villain character was real, and the heartbreak moment she had to drop out of a musical film role that later went to Renee Zellweger. She also reveals a major career decision she still regrets, turning down the chance to play Rizzo on Broadway.

In this episode, I sit down with behavioral geneticist and professor Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden to talk about what behavioral genetics can actually tell us about our kids—and what it can't. We unpack the reality of psychiatric risk, family history, and the limits of control, and why genes are not destiny. We discuss how thousands of tiny genetic differences shape mental health, why diagnoses are messier than we think, and how warmth and firm boundaries still matter more than any “magic bullet.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
