Your teen says “I’m fine.” But deep down, you know something feels off.  In this episode, we’re digging deep into the signs of teen depression and stress that parents often miss—and how silence can sometimes be the loudest cry for help. Joining us is Elliot Kallen, founder of A Brighter Day, a nonprofit dedicated to teen depression and suicide prevention after the heartbreaking loss of his son.  Together, we unpack how pressure to achieve is weighing kids down, why “fixing” backfires, and the small daily connections that can literally save a life.

Ever wonder why your kid can recite every line from their favorite YouTube video but somehow “forgets” their shoes, homework, and to throw away the empty cereal box… all in the same morning? Before you pull your hair out, take a breath—this might not be laziness at all.  In this episode, Dr. Tori Cordiano, a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Director of Laurel's Center for Research on Girls in Shaker Heights helps us decode executive functioning: what it is, why your kid struggles with it (spoiler: their brain’s still under construction), and how you can stop expecting skills they literally don’t have yet.  You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh in relief, and you’ll finally get why socks end up everywhere.

Ever catch yourself mid-lecture with your kids and think, “Wow… I sound exactly like my mother—and didn’t I swear I’d never do that?” Yeah, same. Parenting has a sneaky way of digging up all the little quirks, traumas, and “Oh no, not that again” moments from our own childhoods. Enter Jennie Monness, co-founder of Union Square Play and host of We Didn’t Turn Out Okay. She’s here to talk about how those old patterns shape the way we parent—and more importantly, how to rewire them so we don’t keep passing down the same baggage. From childhood anxiety that shows up in the most unexpected ways, to the wild journey of getting off antidepressants, to the not-so-fun realization that our kids are walking, talking mirrors of our nervous systems… this conversation is as real as it gets. If you’ve ever wondered why your patience runs out faster than your coffee supply, or why your kids seem to have inherited not just your eye color but your perfectionism, this episode is about turning reaction into reflection—and finding out why feeling everything just might be the healing.

“Why am I the only one who knows when the kids need a bath… or that bedtime isn’t optional?” If that sounds like your internal monologue on repeat, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. When you’re constantly stuck in the same fight about chores, parenting, or just feeling alone in the relationship, it’s more than frustrating—it’s exhausting. This week, we’re joined by licensed therapist and marriage alignment expert April Eldemire, LMFT, who shares why the issue isn’t love, but a lack of clarity. She walks us through a simple 4-part ritual that helps couples reconnect, reduce resentment, and get back on the same team. So if you’re tired of doing it all (and being the one who always has to bring it up), this episode gives you the words, the structure, and the encouragement to shift things—for good.

Ever watch your kid refuse to eat leftovers, take 20 minutes to put on socks, or panic over a crumb on their plate and think, “Okay… is this just a phase, or should I be worried?” If you've ever wondered whether your child’s behavior is anxiety, perfectionism, or something deeper—this episode is your must-listen. Dr. Tamar Chansky, author of Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, joins us to break down the signs of OCD in kids—especially the ones most parents miss. She explains how OCD has nothing to do with being neat or liking things “just so.” Instead, it’s about intrusive thoughts and mental rituals that can quietly disrupt a child’s life. You'll learn what to watch for, how to talk to your child without shame, and the exact strategies that help kids separate themselves from the thoughts that feel so overpowering. If you're parenting a child who seems stuck, overwhelmed, or distressed by things that don’t make sense on the surface—this episode could change everything.
