Big kids mean big feelings and sometimes that shows up as defiance, meltdowns, or even anxiety. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really going on beneath the surface and why it's not just “bad behavior.” We often think school-aged is cruising with emotions but big feelings are common. I'm joined by returning guest Alyssa Campbell, a child development expert, to provide the right tools for when emotions can feel overwhelming. We'll talk about how age bias often shapes the way adults respond to older kids' emotions, why yelling or punishment backfires, and how collaborative emotional processing can help kids feel understood while still respecting boundaries. You'll learn: Why defiance is often a sign of unmet needs, not disrespect The role of age bias in how we label behavior in older vs. younger kids How collaborative emotional processing helps kids regulate big emotions Practical, evidence-based ways to respond to meltdowns, worry, and pushback using her “F.A.C.T.S.” method How to raise kids who feel both confident and connected To connect with Alyssa Campbel check out all her resources at https://www.seedandsew.org/about.

This week: Venus makes sweet music with Mars, enters Virgo, and finds beauty in unexpected places with Uranus. Mercury aspects serious Saturn, enters diplomatic Libra, gives voice to Neptune, and gains inspiration from Uranus before getting down and dirty with Pluto. The Sun's face-off with Saturn dominates the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse at the intense 29th degree. And there is so much to cover in the sky this week that there was no time for a listener question - but look for an answer to a listener question about a Mercury Retrograde-ish eclipse, on Big Sky Astrology's YouTube channel! Plus: Devil's advocacy, beautiful necessities, and things we'd prefer to forget. Read a full transcript of this episode. It's eclipse season!

Sep. 15, 8:04 pm PDT, 25º51' Leo-Libra), unlocking inspiration, stirring attraction, and providing financial motivation. The Sabian symbol for Venus is 26 Leo, A rainbow, and Mars is on 26 Libra, An eagle and a large white dove turning one into the other. [4:03] Mercury opposes Saturn (Wed. Sep. 17, 10:47 am PDT, 28º46' Virgo-Pisces), on the Sabian symbols 29 Virgo, A man gaining secret knowledge from a paper he is reading and 29 Pisces, A prism. Reviewing our goals and the stories we tell about them. Delays in travel possible, along with discouraging news. [6:10] Mercury enters Libra on Thu. Sep. 18 (3:06 am PDT, through Oct. 6), and communication is characterized by grace, balance, and tact. An excellent time for negotiations, handling difficult interpersonal situations, persuading others to see things your way. Avoid argumentativeness. [7:35] Mercury opposes Neptune on Thu. Sep. 18 (3:01 pm PDT, 0°53' Libra-Aries). Strong intuition, ideal for artwork, love, spiritual pursuits, but less suited for logic or analysis. [8:29] Mercury trines Uranus on Thu. Sep. 18 (9:52 pm PDT, 1°23' Libra- Gemini). The desire to feel free to say exactly what's on our mind can lead to ill-advised blurting, but it's also a transit of awakening and clarification. [9:50] Mercury trines Pluto on Thu. Sep. 18 (11:27 pm PDT, 1°30' Libra-Aquarius). Mercury with Pluto brings up stark truths we need face. This is a transit of profound insight if we're willing to confront those realities. [11:20] Venus enters Virgo on Fri. Sep. 19 (5:39 am PDT, through Oct. 13). Venus is traditionally in her fall in Virgo because she is exalted in the opposite sign, Pisces. Venus in Virgo favors healthy food, tools, and organizational supplies. Socially, Venus here favors casual, low-key get-togethers, ideally outdoors. [12:55] Venus squares Uranus on Sat. Sep. 20 (8:41 am PDT, 1º22' Virgo-Gemini. The Sabian symbol for Venus is 2 Virgo, A large white cross upraised; Uranus is on 2 Gemini, Santa Claus filling stockings furtively. Socializing can be awkward, changes and disruptions possible in finances or relationships. [14:38] The Sun opposes Saturn on Sat. Sep. 20 (10:46 pm PDT, 28°30' Virgo-Pisces). Have compassion towards yourself and others, and develop persistence. [16:27] Moon Report! A second consecutive Virgo New Moon (the first was on Aug. 22 at 00º23' Virgo) is on Sun. Sep. 21 (12:54 pm PDT, at 29º05' Virgo, and it's a Solar Eclipse. The Sabian symbol for this eclipse point is 30 Virgo, A false call unheard in attention to immediate service. Communication, thoughts, and even movement have extra power around this time. [18:20] The New Moon point is trine Uranus, so the changes associated with eclipses could arrive suddenly or unexpectedly. An eclipse that's close to the South Node in Virgo emphasizes endings, release, letting go, being a little bit too perfectionistic or judgmental. Move toward the Pisces North Node's acceptance and willingness to go with the flow. [19:35] Solar Eclipses repeat on about the same day of the year and close to the same degree of the zodiac every 19 years. Previously, there were Solar Eclipses near this point on Sep. 22, 2006, and on Sep. 23, 1987. [20:34] This is the New Moon in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that will unfold over the coming three years. The First Quarter (first action point) of this LPFC will be on June 21, 2026, at 0º32' Libra. The Full Moon (awareness point) is on March 22, 2027, at 1º35' Libra. And the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on December 20, 2027, at 28º14' Virgo. [22:39] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On Tue. Sep. 16, the Moon in Cancer trines Saturn (8:14 pm PDT), goes VOC for 2 hours, 6 minutes, and then enters Leeeeeooooo (10:20 pm PDT). Fortify your living space via a cleansing ritual. [23:48] On Fri. Sep. 19, the Moon in Leo conjoins Venus (5:21 am PDT). It's VOC for 2 minutes, then enters Virgo (5:23 am PDT). Try a quick, fun morning activity such as doodling, brainstorming ideas, pulling a tarot card, or some sort of puzzle to get the creative juices flowing. [24:52] On Sun. Sep. 21 (12:54 pm PDT), the Moon in Virgo conjoins the Sun. It's VOC for 1 hour 47 minutes and enters Libra (2:41 pm PDT). This is the New Moon Solar Eclipse. “Devotion” is the word for this VOC Moon period. [25:32] This week's listener question is available as a YouTube video! Keep those questions flowing!

Anxiety in kids doesn't always look like worry. Sometimes it shows up as stomachaches, sleep struggles, irritability, or even constant visits to the school nurse. As pediatricians, we know this is one of the most common challenges families face today and parents are often left wondering: Is this normal? Do I need to be worried? What do I do next? In this episode, I'm joined by pediatrician and author Dr. Natasha Burgert, who just released Managing Childhood Anxiety For Dummies. We talk about how anxiety can look different in kids, when parents should reach out for help, and the many supportive steps families can take before medication is even on the table. We cover: The many faces of anxiety in children (it's often a chameleon) How to talk to your child about anxiety without making it scarier Why early screening matters and what those forms really mean (spoiler: not a label) Common myths about medication and how SSRIs actually work How school transitions (hello, September stomachaches) can trigger anxiety To connect with Dr. Natasha Burgert check out all her resources at https://kckidsdoc.substack.com/.

Tiempo de conquista Por: Pastor Danny Serrano Éxodo 17:8-13 (NTV). Este es un mensaje para los que están en una batalla. Quizá hoy estás enfrentando una prueba difícil, un tiempo de mucha presión, o una situación que incluso está poniendo en duda tu fe en Dios. Debes recordar: todos pasamos por temporadas así. No son fáciles, porque en ellas no solo se prueba nuestra fe, sino también si estamos dispuestos a alabarle en las buenas y en las malas. Incluso, se prueba nuestro carácter. Es un tiempo de desafío, ¡es una prueba! Veamos el contexto bíblico: Después de 400 años de esclavitud, Israel salió de Egipto rumbo a la Tierra Prometida. No tenían experiencia en la guerra, pero pronto enfrentaron su primera batalla contra Amalec. Los amalecitas, quienes eran crueles, sanguinarios, expertos en la guerra. Atacaban a las caravanas, especialmente a los más débiles y rezagados. Deuteronomio 25:17-18 (NTV). Así atacó Amalec a Israel: por sorpresa, por la retaguardia, aprovechándose de su cansancio. Todos enfrentamos a un «Amalec»: noticias inesperadas, reportes médicos negativos, problemas que llegan sin aviso, un despido, una relación que termina… Pero, la buena noticia es que, a pesar de todo, Israel derrotó a Amalec con la ayuda de Dios. Tres lecciones clave para la victoria, que aprendemos de Moisés: 1. Sube a la montaña. Éxodo 17:10. Cuando subes a la montaña, tu perspectiva cambia y te das cuenta que Amalec no es un castigo, sino una oportunidad de preparación. Sin batallas no hay victorias. 2. Sube los brazos. Éxodo 17:11. Moisés subió a la montaña a orar. La oración trae poder, pero cuando dejamos de orar, estamos en peligro. Por eso no bajes los brazos, no te rindas. Sé parte de una generación que ora. Colosenses 4:2 (PDT). La oración no reemplaza la acción, pero te prepara para la batalla. Ora como si todo dependiera de Dios y actúa como si todo dependiera de ti. 3. No vaya s solo. Éxodo 17:12. Si queres llegar a la Tierra Prometida y conquistar gigantes, no puedes ir solo. Moisés no peleó solo: tenía a Aarón y Hur a su lado, y Josué en el campo. En la batalla todos eran importantes. Si uno caía, todos caían. Si uno fallaba, todos perdían. No camines solo. Dios te puso en una tribu, en una comunidad de fe que te sostiene. Es el tiempo de conquista y debemos estar preparados para pelear las batallas que enfrentamos día a día. La entrada Tiempo de conquista – Ps. Danny Serrano se publicó primero en Comunidad de Fe.

Send us a textThe Total Lunar Eclipse that takes place on Sept 7th 2025, starting at 8:28am - 1:55 pm PDT - is a powerful signature to look at YOUR shadow! It falls in the degree of 15 Pisces 22".  Where that degree and sign land in your chart is where you need to examine how you might change. People born Sept 6th-8th, (Virgo -Sun) and also the signs Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini at the same degrees listed, will see the MOST chances for change in their life.  If you have mutable planets at that degree- this eclipse is SUPER important for you. Full Moons  and Eclipses always deal with the big stuff; Marriage, divorce, birth, death, promotion, moving, health issues, etc. Nothing small here-ever. Not every eclipse activates every chart! Some are just in the audience watching the show. If you wish to know how this eclipse and the next one in 2wk (Solar Eclipse) shows up in your chart, and how to use it- DM me for an appt. to set up a reading. Thanks for listening.Support the showAstrology:http://www.kitchensari.comJewelry:https://www.Etsy.com/shop/parkermcpDonations Via PayPal:https://paypal.me/parkermcphinney1?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USBuy me a chai/coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/parkercI am on RUMBLE.COM now- with short videos of: Astro/Art/Naturehttps://rumble.com/c/c-1989012 All content © 2020-2025 Stardust Stereo .

Uranus will re-enter Taurus on Nov. 7, and turns direct on Feb. 3, 2026 (6:33 pm PDT) at 27°27' Taurus, finally returning to Gemini on Apr. 25, 2026. A transiting planet that's retrograde sometimes appears to behave contrary to its usual mode – in the case of Uranus, seeming to toe the line and go along with the crowd. Note, “seeming to.” [7:14] The Moon trines Mars (Fri. Sep 5, 1:51 pm PDT) at 19°05' Aquarius and Libra. It's VOC for 19 hours, 3 minutes before it enters Pisces (Sat. Sep. 6, 8:54 am). This is an energizing transit for social commitments. [8:03] The Pisces Full Moon (Sun. Sep. 7, 11:08 am PDT) is a total lunar eclipse at 15°22' Pisces and Virgo. The Full Moon reveals what's working in our lives and what isn't. Eclipses represent a crisis or turning point, and Lunar Eclipses are especially important for relationships. The Sabian symbol for the eclipse is 16 Pisces, “The flow of inspiration,” and the Sun is on 16 Virgo, “An orangutan.” Together, they suggest something about letting our inspiration be inspired by wildness and lack of refinement. [9:54] Previous eclipses near this eclipse point: March 9, 2016 (solar); Sep. 7, 2006 (lunar); Sep. 6, 1998 (lunar); March 9, 1997 (solar). Themes from those time periods might be important to you now. [10:39] If you need a little help figuring that all out, ORDER APRIL'S MOONSHADOW ECLIPSE REPORT! For the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, this report will show where all the eclipses are falling in your chart, the aspects they're making to your birth planets, and most importantly, the previous years in their cycles! You can order the report at eclipseastrology.com. [11:21] INTERVIEW: Astro*Carto*Graphy with Ronnie Gale Dreyer. [12:40] What is Astro*Carto*Graphy, and how does it add a new or different perspective to a natal chart? [15:54] An explanation of the planetary lines on an Astro*Carto*Graphy map. [19:28] Interpreting an Astro*Carto*Graphy map alongside a natal chart. [22:07] Looking at planetary lines on an Astro*Carto*Graphy map versus actually experiencing a location. [23:52] Is Astro*Carto*Graphy only useful for deciding where to move or where to travel? [27:24] What is remote activation in Astro*Carto*Graphy? [29:56] What is the first step Ronnie would recommend for someone who is curious about Astro*Carto*Graphy? Does she recommend that people visit their planetary lines in person or activate them in other ways? What are some Astro*Carto*Graphy resources? The Psychology of Astrocartography, Martin Davis, Kepler College, Astro.com were mentioned. [34:25] Make sure to check out Ronnie's offerings on her website! She will be giving a presentation on Astro*Carto*Graphy for OPA in November. [36:13] And that's a wrap for the Sixth Annual Big Sky Astrology Podathon!

The Moon enters Aquarius (3:31 am PDT), sextiles Neptune in Aries (5:51 am PDT), trines Uranus in Gemini (6:12 am PDT), then conjoins Pluto (6:40 am PDT). [6:08] A lunar aspect is generally influential for a couple of hours, in this case between about 5:40 - 7:40 am PDT. You may have a hard time getting moving when you wake up, but with the Mars-Jupiter square already coloring the mood of the day, you could also feel a rush of excitement and enthusiasm for something that you want to get done. [7:28] Interview with astrologer Patrick Watson about Hellenistic Astrology. [9:02] What distinguishes Hellenistic astrology from other types of astrology? Why is Hellenistic astrology Patrick's astrology of choice? [14:36] When compared to modern astrology, does Hellenistic astrology focus more on fate? [19:30] How does Patrick work with the idea of fate during consultations? [22:12] Thoughts on putting a positive spin on difficult transits. [25:12] Are techniques such as profections, zodiacal releasing and sect a part of Patrick's astrological toolbox? Are there any other techniques in Hellenistic astrology that give insights that a modern astrological technique might not? [36:30] The importance of journaling and tracking personal transits. [37:41] Recommended resources for learning more about Hellenistic astrology: The Astrology Podcast; Adam Elenbaas of Nightlight Astrology; Demetra George's Ancient Astrology Volume 1, Ancient Astrology Volume 2 and Astrology and the Authentic Self.

What happens when politics ignores kids? Pediatrician and South Carolina Senate hopeful Dr. Annie Andrews joins me to talk about why children's health depends on more than just doctor's visits - it depends on the policies shaping their lives.

We discuss: Why Dr. Andrews made the leap from pediatrics to politics How policies like Medicaid cuts directly hurt children, families, and the health care system Why pediatricians and parents need to get louder in advocacy How healthcare has become political and why we need to be louder for our kids' future  The child tax credit and other policies that could transform children's futures How better policy can prevent burnout among doctors and improve care for every family To connect with Dr. Annie Andrews follow her on Instagram @annieandrewsmd, check out all her resources at https://drannieandrews.com/ We'd like to know who is listening!

[17:38] How might a typical Psychological astrology reading differ from a regular astrology reading?

[24:09] What are some helpful astrological tools that come from the Psychological branch of astrology? [25:57] What would an astrologer get from Chiron that they are not getting from other planets?

Sep. 1 (1:07 am PDT), until it returns to Aries on Feb. 13, 2026. [7:35] With Saturn in Pisces, the focus returns to spiritual foundations, emotional boundaries, rather than that outer-focused, “let's get it done” quality of Aries. This return of Saturn to Pisces overlaps with eclipse season, which begins at the end of this week with a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, and the Solar Eclipse at 29 Virgo on September 21, making a close opposition to Saturn in Pisces. [8:51] The Moon squares Saturn (Sep. 1, 6:38 pm PDT) and is then Void-of-Course (VOC) for 6 minutes, when it enters Capricorn (6:44 pm PDT). Use this brief VOC Moon period to get in the habit of being kind to others. [9:45] Interview: Evolutionary Astrologer, Dabney Lawless. OPA and Anne Ortelee were mentioned.

Tantrums are a universal parenting challenge—they can feel overwhelming, embarrassing, or downright exhausting. But what if you had a simple, practical way to respond that actually helps your child learn to calm down? In this follow-up episode, I'm joined by Chris Lake, educator, child development expert, and founder of Behavior Booster. Chris breaks down his “Lake Method” of de-escalating tantrums in a way that makes sense for both kids and parents. We cover: What to do first when a tantrum starts (hint: safety comes before soothing) Why letting your child move through the crying cycle matters How to avoid common pitfalls that accidentally reinforce tantrums The power of validating emotions without caving to demands What an “extinction burst” looks like and why it's actually a sign of progress Get trusted pediatric advice, relatable parenting insights, and evidence-based tips delivered straight to your inbox—join thousands of parents who rely on the PDT newsletter to stay informed, supported, and confident. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠!

This week, Venus enters the glamorous sign of Leeeeeeoooo and makes inspiring aspects to Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, plus a highly charged opposition to Pluto. Uranus and Neptune connect in their first major aspect since 1993, and the Sagittarius First Quarter Moon focuses on teaching and moving forward into the future. And coming up next week, the 6th Annual Podathon! Plus: Futuristic drawings, things you can't undo, and a little pizazz! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here! Subscribe to April's mailing list and get a free lunar workbook at each New Moon! Love the show? Make a donation! Timestamps [2:20] Venus enters Leo on Mon. Aug. 25 (9:27 AM PDT), and will be there through Sep. 19, 2025. It is a sunny, life-affirming position for Venus, but it makes a lot of important aspects this week to heavy planets, bringing some shadows to Leo's sunshine. [3:55] On Mon. Aug. 25 (5:56 PM PDT), Venus trines Saturn at 0º25' Leo-Aries.  Saturn tempers Venus in Leo's extravagant tendencies. Acknowledge your responsibility in choosing partners and cultivating relationships. Don't be afraid to ask for help! [6:09] Venus sextiles Uranus (Tue. Aug. 26, 1:58 pm PDT) at 1°25' Leo-Gemini. New ideas appear, especially related to money, values, or relationships. New people may enter the picture and shake you out of your routines. [7:36] Venus trines Neptune (Tue. Aug. 26, 3:18 pm PDT) at 1°29' Leo-Aries. This aspect invites us to see the beauty in others, regard the world with a little more tenderness. Neptune also elevates Venus' creativity with inspiration, even a touch of spirituality. Together, Venus' sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune remind us that love, beauty, and creativity are best when they open doors to inspiration and into connection with others. [8:49] Venus opposes Pluto (Tue. Aug. 26, 10:54 pm PDT) at 01°51' Leo-Aquarius. Challenges in relationship and finances. Find value in what cannot be taken away. This transit can feel intense but fortunately, it passes quickly. Don't do things that you can't undo. It's only one day, and by tomorrow, things could look quite different. [11:20] Uranus sextiles Neptune (Thu. Aug. 28, 5:14 PM PDT) at 01º26' Gemini- Aries. This is the first of five exact sextiles that they will form to each other between now and June 2027. Uranus' last major aspect to Neptune was a conjunction in 1993, between 18-19° Capricorn (Feb. 2, Aug. 20, Oct. 24, 1993). [13:28] Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries, blends inventive thinking with visionary drive. Think outside the box, not just for the sake of novelty, but to serve an inspired vision of the future. This energy is great for breakthroughs in language, technology, art, or activism. If you stay grounded, this transit is powerful for creativity, spirituality, social change and for taking those first steps toward a new world. [15:45] Moon Report! The Sagittarius First Quarter Moon is on Sat. Aug. 30 (11:25 PM PDT) at 08º07' Sagittarius and Virgo. This is our first action point following the Aug. 22 Virgo New Moon (the first of two; the second is on Sep. 21, and is a Solar Eclipse). You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin, just start the journey and trust that the road will open as you go. The Sabian symbol for this First Quarter Moon is 9 Sagittarius, A mother with her children on the stairs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is 9 Virgo, A man makes a futuristic drawing. [18:16] This is the First Quarter (first action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon in Sagittarius on Nov. 30, 2024, at 9º32' Sagittarius. The Full Moon (awareness point) of this LPFC will occur on May 31, 2026, at 9º55' Sagittarius, and the Last Quarter phase (last action point) is on Feb. 27, 2027, at 9º22' Sagittarius. [19:46] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On Mon. Aug. 25 (6:53 AM PDT), the Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus. It's VOC for only 15 minutes, and then the Moon enters Libra (7:08 AM PDT). Cancer likes comfort food, and Virgo likes efficient and healthy nutrition. This Void-of-Course Moon period begins around breakfast time on the west coast of the United States, so this is a great day to start a new ritual of eating a really delicious and nutritious breakfast. [20:55] On Tue. Aug. 26 (7:06 PM PDT), the Moon in Libra sextiles Mercury. It's VOC for 23 hours and 21 minutes, then enters Scorpio on Wed. Aug. 27 (6:27 PM PDT). Leo gives voice to the desire for balance and equality that the Moon in Libra craves. Create a habit of making decisions by using equal parts mind and heart. [22:06] On Fri. Aug. 29 (5:47 PM PDT), the Moon in Scorpio squares Mercury. It's VOC for 13 hours, 17 minutes, and enters Sagittarius on Sat. Aug. 30 (7:04 AM PDT). If someone gets under your skin during this VOC Moon period, try very hard to keep hurtful feelings to yourself. Funnel your anger into some other enterprise, such as vigorous exercise habits, which can help keep the drama at bay and your body strong. [23:22] There will be a pause on listener questions this week and most likely next week due to the 6th Annual Podathon! They will return the week after the Podathon, though, so by all means, keep those questions flowing! [23:50] If you'd like to have a question answered on a future episode, leave a message of one minute or less at speakpipe.com/bigskyastrologypodcast or email april (at) bigskyastrology (dot) com; put “Podcast Question” in the subject line. Free ways to support the podcast: subscribe, like, review and share with a friend! [24:23] A tribute to this week's donors!

Jenny Kassan, CEO of Opportunity Main Street, is proving that crowdfunding can be a powerful tool for revitalizing communities while offering investors a meaningful way to make a difference.Jenny is raising capital through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on SmallChange to renovate a historic building in Baltimore. This project, called Community Commons, will serve as both a hub for local businesses and a space for community-building activities. The first floor will feature a gathering space, coffee shop, and retail area, while the upper floors will house luxury furnished apartments for short-term rentals.Jenny explains her motivation: “I've believed for a while that it's really important to create a place-based ecosystem to grow this movement to move community capital into small business.” She has already raised $2.5 million for the project but is turning to crowdfunding to close the final gap.What makes this project stand out is its intentional focus on Baltimore. After hosting a women entrepreneurs' event in the city, Jenny fell in love with its historic charm and resilient spirit. “Baltimore is a beautiful, scrappy city,” she says. “There's a renaissance going on… it's a place where you can make a significant impact.”Jenny's choice of SmallChange as the crowdfunding platform is no accident.

She explains, “I've learned so much about finance, securities law… and I feel like my superpower is bringing it down to a level of clarity for people.” Her passion stems from a desire to make the world of finance less opaque and intimidating, especially for those who lack traditional financial knowledge or access to resources.Illustrative Story:Jenny's superpower shone when she helped a worker co-op in Boston called CERO raise capital for a composting business. Comprised of highly disadvantaged individuals, the co-op needed funding for a truck but wanted to retain worker control. Jenny structured an offering of non-voting equity, allowing the workers to remain in charge while raising several hundred thousand dollars. This project exemplifies her ability to simplify financial tools for underserved communities, empowering them to achieve their goals.Actionable Tips to Develop the Superpower:Deepen Your Expertise: Invest time in learning the intricacies of your field, as Jenny did with finance.Practice Simplifying Concepts: Break down complex ideas into clear, relatable language to help others understand them.Empathize with Your Audience: Tailor your explanations to the needs and backgrounds of those you're helping.Stay Mission-Driven: Focus on using your knowledge to empower others and create meaningful change.By following Jenny's example and advice, you can make simplifying complex concepts a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Ever wonder why your child's “mystery” stomach aches keep coming back even when every test comes back normal?Dr. Ali Navidi is a GI psychologist who specializes in the gut-brain connection in kids.

There's a lot of pressure to breastfeed but not nearly enough conversation about what to do when it doesn't go as planned. In this honest and compassionate episode, Dr. Mona sits down with lactation counselor and mom of two Kaia Lacey to talk about low milk supply, combo feeding, and the emotional weight of unrealistic feeding expectations. Whether you've struggled with supply, felt shamed for using formula, or wondered if you're the only one doing “a little of both,” this one's for you. They cover: The difference between primary and secondary low milk supply What IGT (insufficient glandular tissue) is and how it's often missed Why combo feeding isn't a failure—it's a valid, supported choice How internalized “breast is best” messages can lead to shame and burnout What parents really need: support, diagnosis, and honest information Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

This week, the planets are on a bit of a summer hiatus, with only a few major and minor aspects. The Sun enters earthy Virgo, tries to compromise with Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, and squares off with unpredictable Uranus - and it all plays a role in the first of two consecutive Virgo New Moons. And a listener question about how to choose the best time to launch a business, astrologically speaking. Plus: Making lists, shaking things up, and a gentle shove toward reinvention!

Aug. 22 (1:34 pm PDT), and is in this sign through Sep. 22. The Sun in Virgo, ruled by Mercury, represents giving the self in service. The Sun in this sign unites creativity and craft, and Virgo's perfectionism can overwhelm creativity if we're not careful. Focus less on doing things perfectly and more on how being helpful and useful. [3:17] Moon Report! Beginning with the first of two consecutive Virgo New Moons on Fri. Aug. 22 (11:07 PM PDT, 00º23' Virgo. Let go of criticism and excessive perfectionism. And eclipses are coming: on Sep. 7, a Lunar Eclipse at 15°31' Pisces, and the Sep. 21 New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 29°05' Virgo. Information on a Live Q&A and a 2025 Eclipses replay are on the way! [5:17] Virgo is associated with health, work, animals, craft. Set New Moon intentions related to service, good health, organization, learning new skills, and cultivating work that suits your talents. [5:49] The New Moon point is quincunx Saturn (Sat. Aug. 23, 4:04 AM PDT) and Neptune in Aries (Sun. Aug. 24, 3:58 AM PDT), and Pluto in Aquarius (Sun. Aug. 24, 1:06 PM PDT). The 150º quincunx aspect separates planets are in signs of very different signs and modalities, and compromises must be reached - in this case, between Virgo's practicality and attention to detail and Aries' urge to just get moving; and between Aquarius' interest in the future and Virgo's focus on the here and now. [7:15] The Sun squares Uranus (Sun. Aug. 24, 12:15 am PDT,  1°23' Virgo-Gemini). What happens when quirky, unpredictable, and nonconformist Uranus meets the Sun in Virgo's affection for order, lists, and knowing what comes next? This is a great opportunity, though, to appreciate the qualities that make you unique. [9:20] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). The First Quarter Moon (first action point) of this LPFC is on May 23, 2026 at 2º20' Virgo. The Full Moon (awareness point) is on Feb. 20, 2027, at 2º05' Virgo, and the Last Quarter Moon (last action point) is on Nov. 20, 2027, at 28º27' Leo. [11:25] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods.

Ever paused at a vaccine insert, googled an ingredient, or felt torn between fear and science? Dr. Elisabeth Marnik (@sciencewhizliz) wasn't vaccinated as a child. She grew up in an anti-vax household—but today, she's a scientist, professor, and mom who vaccinates her own children and helps others feel informed, not fearful.

In honor of National Immunization Awareness Month, Dr. Mona brings back one of her most important conversations—this time with fellow pediatrician and vaccine advocate, Dr. Nicole Baldwin. Together, they break down: Why they vaccinate their own kids What parents misunderstand about vaccine risks The real stories of vaccine-preventable illnesses they'll never forget Why pediatricians aren't “trained for half a day on vaccines” (and other wild myths that won't die) What families need to know to make informed, confident choices This episode gets personal, practical, and powerful because in a world full of misinformation, hearing directly from two doctors who live this every day can make all the difference.

Think your pediatrician has all the breastfeeding answers? The truth is, most don't and that's not a knock on them. It's a reflection of the limited lactation training in pediatric residency. That's why I sat down with Dr. Lauren Hughes, founder of Bloom Pediatrics and a double threat: pediatrician and IBCLC. Together, we unpack the myths, the mental load, and the real deal about breastfeeding support that parents deserve but don't always get in those early days. We talk about: Why pediatricians often give confusing (or just plain wrong) advice around lactation How the term “nipple confusion” creates shame instead of support and what's really going on with flow preference How pumping, pacifiers, and supplementation can all fit into a successful feeding planWhy protecting a parent's mental health is just as important as protecting their milk supply To connect with Dr. Lauren Hughes follow her on Instagram @bloomdcp and check out all her resources at https://www.drlaurenhughes.com/ We'd like to know who is listening!

Triple feeding (nursing, pumping, and supplementing) might sound like a solid plan on paper. But for many parents, it turns into a nonstop cycle that's physically draining, mentally exhausting, and emotionally overwhelming. In this Follow-Up episode, Dr. Mona talks with lactation consultant and author Victoria Facelli about why triple feeding is often recommended, why it's not always sustainable, and what we should be doing instead. They discuss: The real reason triple feeding gets suggested so often (even by well-meaning pediatricians and lactation consultants) Why it can feel like torture and rob families of sleep, sanity, and bonding How to protect both milk supply and mental health What responsive feeding really looks like—and why connection matters more than perfection This episode originally aired in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, and it's here to remind you: feeding your baby shouldn't mean losing yourself.

Most parents think picky eating starts in toddlerhood. But according to Jenny Best, founder of Solid Starts, the roots go much deeper and earlier. In this Follow-Up episode, Jenny and I dig into the real reasons picky eating happens, what behaviors unknowingly contribute to it, and why feeding is so much more than just offering food. It's emotional. It's behavioral. It's developmental. And yes—it's totally fixable. Together they discuss: Why gagging isn't always a red flag (and how it helps build skills) The science behind chewing and why purees don't teach it How spoon-feeding past a certain age can delay oral development Why how we feed is just as important as what we feed The sneaky role anxiety and pressure play at mealtimes What Jenny wishes more pediatricians (and parents) understood Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
