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!

It takes a lot of important attributes to be a successful gardener: patience, kindness, empathy, determination, and discipline, among others. These are just some of the many important lessons students in Cambridge and Boston Public Schools are learning through partnerships with Cambridge non-profit "City Sprouts". Susan Diller, Executive Director of City Sprouts, joins Nichole to explore how the program teaches local kids these valuable skills through hands-on learning in the dirt, and share details about their upcoming conference for educators and gardeners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode I sit down with developmental psychologist Dr. Jay Belsky to explore a question so many parents wrestle with: is temperament destiny? We talk about why children differ in how deeply they're shaped by their environments, what “developmental plasticity” really means, and why the same parenting can land so differently depending on the child. We discuss the difference between sensitivity and susceptibility, the limits of attachment research, and why focusing only on long-term outcomes can distract us from what matters in the here and now.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Born and raised in San Diego, Devon Howard came to surfing at age seven. He gravitated to longboarding—both the wave-riding approach and the culture. A graduate of the University of San Diego, he served as managing editor of Longboard magazine from 1999 to 2004. For the next decade or so, he worked as a freelance writer and photographer, and held marketing positions with Patagonia and Spy Optic. But he never let his surfing slip. He competed in pro longboarding events in the 1990s, then did the short-lived ASP Longboard Tour through the early aughts. He appeared in several surf films—The Seedling, Sprout, One California Day, Single Fin Yellow, and Self Discovery for Social Survival. In 2014, at age 40, he won the Deus 9-Foot & Single contest in Bali. Today, Howard works as the Global Marketing Director for Channel Islands. He's also known widely as a proponent of the egg, or midlength, design. In this episode of Soundings, Howard talks with Jamie Brisick about what makes a great surfboard, working in surfing, the allure of eggs, riding for Donald Takayama, and traditional longboarding.

Today is a clinic episode, a Seedling Troubleshooting Clinic to be exact, because if you're starting seeds indoors, something is eventually going to look weird. A tray that was perfect yesterday is suddenly leaning. Something looks fuzzy on the soil surface. Or a seedling that seemed fine just flops over.The good news is most seedling problems come from a small handful of causes, causes that we can actually control - light, temperature, water, airflow, or sanitation. And once you know what you're looking at, you can usually fix it quickly or at least stop it from spreading to the rest of your tray.So, I'm going to give you a simple diagnostic checklist and then we'll walk through the most common seedling symptoms and what to do about each one.Let's dig in!Get my FREE seed starting ebook: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/seedbookTake my comprehensive course for indoor seed starting, Seed to Sprout: https://justgrowsomething.com/indoor-seed-startingJust Grow Something episodes, videos and blog posts on seed starting: https://justgrowsomethingpodcast.com/search/seed%20startingReferences and resources:University of Illinois Extension: Troubleshooting seed starting problems: https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/good-growing/2022-02-25-whats-wrong-my-seedlings-troubleshooting-seed-starting-problemsUniversity of Minnesota Extension: How to prevent seedling damping off: https://extension.umn.edu/solve-problem/how-prevent-seedling-damping Utah State University Extension: Seedling culture, airflow, temps: https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden/research/starting-vegetable-seeds-indoors-seeding-culture-and-transplanting.pdf Just Grow Something: https://justgrowsomething.comJust Grow Something Merch and Downloads: https://justgrowsomething.com/shopJust Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ Check out how you can become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomethingBonus content for supporters of the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomethingAmazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething

This week's episode of The Veg Grower Podcast was packed with those subtle but exciting signs that the growing season is waking up. After a rare dry spell on the south coast, I finally managed a full day in the kitchen garden — and it felt good to get stuck in. Kitchen Garden: Early Growth & Essential Tidying With the soil warming, weeds have started to appear, which is always a positive indicator that spring is on the way. Even more surprising was spotting the first early shoots of asparagus pushing through — far earlier than expected, but very welcome. I mulched the asparagus bed with rich worm compost from the wormery, although I did discover a small mouse living beneath the bin. Thankfully, not a rat — and a reminder to keep an eye on things, especially with chickens nearby. I also planted out some strong young leeks that were originally destined for a cancelled project. These were sown in May and have grown beautifully in pots, so they're now filling an otherwise empty bed. I've also started another batch of leek seeds using my usual polystyrene‑box method. Seedlings & Temperature Monitoring Seedlings are everywhere at the moment — chillies, peppers, onions sown on Boxing Day — and they're finally putting on growth after a slow start. My Bluetooth thermometer in the potting shed continues to be invaluable for tracking temperatures and deciding when to sow. Allotment: Winter Jobs & Greenhouse Prep Despite the rain, I pushed on with allotment jobs. February is always a strange month — half winter, half spring — but I managed to clear prunings, weed, and top up beds with compost. When the rain set in, I moved into the greenhouse for a full clean and sterilise. Broken panes were swept up, frames washed, and everything disinfected with a natural biodegradable cleaner. It's now ready for the season ahead. The second greenhouse, “The Sergeant,” still needs glazing, but I'm leaning toward covering it with polytunnel plastic — a practical and affordable solution that should get it functional quickly. In the Kitchen: Crispy Veg Pancakes With Shrove Tuesday and Chinese New Year coinciding, I cooked up crispy vegetable pancakes filled with homegrown leeks, cabbage, carrot and onion, finished with a sweet chilli and soy dressing. A delicious way to use winter veg. Grow Lights: Why They're Becoming Essential This week I also talked about grow lights — something I once thought unnecessary but now consider vital for year‑round growing, especially with limited winter daylight. My older IKEA lights are fading after a decade of use, and last year's cheap Amazon set hasn't impressed. But this week I received a sample from a new company, Oasis Grow Lights, and the build quality and brightness immediately stood out. One key feature I love: adjustable chains. My own experiment this year showed that seedlings grown with lights 10cm above them were stockier and stronger than those grown with lights 60cm away. Light distance matters — a lot. I'll be trialling these new lights properly over the coming weeks, but first impressions are excellent.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Chopra to talk about what real optimism actually means — and why it's so different from toxic positivity. We unpack the science behind resilience, curiosity, and staying open when life is hard, and we get practical about how to grow your “optimism muscle” in everyday moments. We talk about language shifts (like the power of “never” and “always”), parenting through low-capacity seasons, rituals that ground families, and why affirmations and manifestation don't always work the way we think they do.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this solo episode, I talk directly to parents about how to show up for our kids when the world feels heavy and unsettling—without turning the conversation into politics. I share what research tells us about stress, co-regulation, and why our kids absorb our emotional state even when we think we're hiding it. I also offer practical guidance for talking to children at different ages, setting healthier boundaries around the news and doom scrolling, and staying grounded so we can provide safety, connection, and hope while raising compassionate, resilient humans.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Click Here...!!!Tonight, we're talking about Winter Garden Starts.I know… it's January… it's a frozen tundra out there… it's below freezing and in some places like here, it's below zero. I sure as hell don't want to be working in my garden in ski pants and snow boots… hands all numb and frozen boogers in my beard. Hell No.And therein lies the beauty of it…My garden isn't outside under a foot of snow. It's inside. In the warmth of my grow-room. A 20 x 15' area of work space in the basement with shelves and grow lights, seed starting mixes and potting soils, and seed trays sitting on top of heating mats.There's a bar-height table with a 36x36” black plastic drain pan that we've repurposed as a work surface to keep soil, compost, and water from reaching the floor.Now don't be trying to picture some pristine climate-controlled sciency type of space.Noooo… This is at best, a piece-mealed and frankensteined mash of incompatible interconnected tools of the trade acquired over time and sourced from the cheapest vendors, mostly Amazon and Walmart, and sometimes free… think Dirty Garden Hoe dumpster-diving on the way back from the feed store kind of free… All tossed together and organized into a perfect form of dirty workspace.Does yours have to be as big as ours? No it doesn't. It can be smaller, much smaller. Probably should be smaller. We found out last season that our grow-room is actually not big enough. Remember, our garden is 1250 sqf… I've lived in apartments that were half that size. And this next season, we're adding another 1250 sqf to it… though I haven't quite figured out exactly how yet but, it's gonna happen. We need that space. But, even if you're in a smaller space like an apartment or a flat, you can and should have a grow-room, be it a little corner of the bedroom or window ledges in the living room or countertops in the kitchen or bathroom… or all of the above.Now is the time to start.And Buddy's got you covered. He's got a Top 10 list all about what we need to be doing right now in the dead of Winter, so that our gardens will be lush and plentiful come Spring.TOPS Bunker Podcast YouTube ChannelSpeakPipe/TOPSTOPSBunker.comRefuge Medical Use TOPSBUNKER10 at Checkout for 10% DiscountPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Grow Light - Full Spectrum 4'Grow Light - Full Spectrum 2'x2'VivoSun Heat Mat for Seedlings 10"x20"VivoSun Seed Tray Heat Mat ComboHaxNicks 20 Cell Rapid Root Trainer TraysVivoSun Grow Tent System 4'x2'Surge Protector Strip 1625W 8 Slot +USB12/3 HD SJTW Ext Cord w/3 Outlets 6'CordHappy Frog Organic Potting Soil 2 CFVivoSun Worm Farm 3-Layer Kit w/ToolsUncle Jims Red Wigglers Worms 500 Count LiveSupport the show

In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist and author Dr. Jean Twenge to talk about the seven essential conversations to have with kids before they get a device. We break down what kids need to understand about privacy, posting, and why nothing online is ever truly private. We also discuss the tech rules that matter most—like no devices in bedrooms at night—and how to set limits without panic, guilt, or power struggles.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this episode, I sit down with award winning journalist and author Jennifer Wallace, to talk about her new work on mattering—the need to feel seen, valued, and needed. We explore how mattering emerged as a powerful protective factor for kids growing up in high-pressure, achievement-driven environments, and why so many adults today feel lonely, disengaged, or untethered. Jennifer shares the SAID framework—feeling significant, appreciated, invested in, and depended on—and we talk about what this looks like in real life, at home, at work, and in our communities. This conversation is about practical, doable ways to help our kids (and ourselves) feel like we matter—without more pressure, perfection, or performance.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this week's episode, I'm joined by education expert Lizzie Assa to talk about independent play—why it matters, what it actually builds in kids, and how to make it work in real life. We break down the difference between independent play and ignoring your child, how to respond when kids say “I'm bored,” and simple ways to set up your home so play can happen more naturally. Lizzie shares practical strategies like play prompts, play pockets, and quiet time, along with reassurance for parents who feel guilty stepping back. This conversation is all about helping kids build confidence, resilience, and creativity—while giving parents a little more breathing room too.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Amy Griffin for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to re-parent yourself—and how that inner work quietly transforms your parenting. We talk about the pressure to be perfect, the role of control and trust in family relationships, and how healing your own story can create more safety for your kids. Amy shares how telling the truth, setting boundaries, and staying in the light reshaped the way she shows up as a mother, partner, and person—and why parenting isn't about having the answers, but about doing the work with honesty and compassion.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this week's episode I am joined by Dr. Darby Saxby, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Southern California as we delve into the transition to parenthood, particularly focusing on fathers and the concept of the 'dad brain.' We discuss how fathers experience physiological and psychological changes despite not giving birth, the vulnerability and opportunities for growth these changes bring, and how societal structures often fail to support new parents adequately. Dr. Saxby shares insights from her research, including how caregiving impacts brain structure in both mothers and fathers and the importance of fathers being involved at various stages of a child's development.

In this week's episode, I sit down with professor Kathy Hirsh-Pasek to rethink what learning actually looks like—and why play is at the center of it. We break down the science behind playful learning, the Six Cs kids need to thrive in a rapidly changing world, and why pressure, perfectionism, and early achievement often get in the way.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by NY Times bestselling author and host of Pulling The Thread Podcast Elise Loehnen for a conversation about the stories women absorb—about being good, selfless, agreeable—and how those narratives shape our lives in ways we rarely notice. We talk about the difference between feelings and facts, why so many of us default to over-functioning, and how these inherited scripts show up during big transitions like pregnancy and early motherhood. Elise and I unpack what it takes to step out of the drama triangle, why martyrdom feels familiar but unsustainable, and how to build a more spacious inner voice that lets you respond instead of react.

In this episode, we take a clear-eyed look at how parents can protect their kids in a fast-moving digital world. After a recent conversation about AI left many listeners worried, I wanted to offer practical guidance—not panic. I'm joined by Hari Ravichandran, founder of a leading digital safety platform Aura, to talk about what kids are actually doing on their devices, how AI chatbots are being used, and why so much of it happens out of parents' view. We break down simple, transparent ways to keep young people safe online without spying, how to set expectations when introducing a device, and what to watch for as kids navigate phones, apps, and AI. This is a grounded, actionable conversation for any parent trying to stay ahead of a rapidly changing digital landscape.Visit Aura.com/Humans to receive a 2-week free trial and 60%. off your first yearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's episode, I talk with New York Times reporter Matt Richtel about what adolescence actually is—and why so much of what we think we know about teens is outdated. We discuss an entirely new framework for understanding the adolescent brain: a period designed for intense information processing, where kids are constantly reconciling what they've been taught with a fast-changing world. We unpack why teens don't listen (and why it's not personal), why overwhelm shows up as emotional explosions or rumination, and how parents can help their kids “reboot” instead of pushing more information into an already overloaded system. We also explore what adults can model—curiosity, coping skills, and the ability to live with ambiguity—to support teens through this challenging, necessary, and deeply meaningful developmental stage.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this week's episode, I speak with Professor Michael Pluess, renowned temperament researcher, to explore what it really means to have a "sensitive" child. We break down the science behind sensitivity as a key part of temperament, why some kids are more reactive to both positive and negative experiences, and how parenting can shape their outcomes. We discuss the genetic and environmental roots of sensitivity, common misunderstandings around the trait, and what parents can do to support emotional regulation.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

We unpack everything from picky eating and sleep training to praise, rewards, and toddler tantrums—exploring what the data actually says and what parents can finally stop worrying about.

In this episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Susan Dominus for a deep dive into the science of temperament, sibling relationships, and what high-achieving families can teach us about raising children. We talk about how two kids raised in the same home can turn out completely different, the limits of parenting, and why temperament may be more hardwired than we think. We also explore how purpose, family culture, and sibling dynamics can shape long-term outcomes—and why letting go of control might be the most powerful parenting tool we have.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

We break down what's typical versus when to worry, how to respond without absorbing it all, and simple scripts that actually help. We also explore Dr. Lisa's signature ideas like “school gets the best of them, we get the rest of them,” how to spot rumination, and ways to listen without fixing—so you can stay steady while your teen works through the ups and downs of growing up.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In today's episode I sit down with Dr. Marc Brackett, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, to get precise about what emotion regulation actually is. We break down the PRIME framework (prevent, reduce, initiate, maintain, enhance), and the Meta-Moment: a brief attentional and physiological reset (pause + breath + values cue) that widens the stimulus→response gap and supports values-congruent behavior. We differentiate co-regulation from co-dysregulation, explore anticipatory strategies for high-stress routines, and dig into the impact of “positive empathy.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

This week, I sit down with my 101-year-old grandfather, Papa Jack, to hear his extraordinary story of survival and love. Born in Poland in 1924, he describes the beauty of his childhood, the rise of antisemitism, and the devastation that followed when Nazi Germany invaded. He shares what it was like to be forced into a ghetto, separated from family, and pushed into camps where survival often came down to instinct and impossible choices.Papa Jack's story and his love story with my grandmother, is the origin of my interest in understanding resilience, the human condition and how we come to be who we are. Their story is one of loss, courage, and hope. In this conversation, you'll hear not just about the horrors he endured, but also about the love and laughter that carried him forward, and why he feels so strongly that his story must never be forgotten. For his birthday this weekend, I'm going to make sure that I do my part and sharing his story with all of you.

In today's episode developmental psychologist and temperament expert Dr. Corley Perez-Edgar joins us to talk all about temperament. We dive into the science of temperament—how it develops in early childhood, how it shapes the way kids experience the world, and what it means for parenting. We cover the biological basis of temperament, the difference between shyness and social anxiety, and how parents can support children's unique traits without trying to “fix” them. We also discuss new research on parent-child synchrony and what it reveals about how children borrow regulation from their caregivers.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
