We’re beginning a new chapter together. Pumped Up Parenting is now Be A Better Parent, and this first episode under our new name leans right into the question so many parents ask in quiet moments: “Why do I feel like I’m failing, and what can I actually do about it?”

I take you through the real-life pressure points — those nights you wish you hadn’t yelled, the sleep and mealtime battles, the comparison that makes everyone else look like they’ve got it all together, and the overwhelm of trying “all the advice” for a day or two and wondering why nothing sticks.From there, we slow everything down and get practical. You’ll hear why consistency — not perfection — turns the tide, how loving limits and clear boundaries make kids feel safe, and how teaching consequences works better than punishments that only add fear and frustration. We’ll also talk about the tantrum – negotiation loop and why giving in “to keep the peace” keeps the cycle going, plus exactly what it looks like to hold a calm, steady no and let the storm pass.

Most importantly, we look at the model our kids are learning from every day, us. When we regulate our emotions, they learn how to regulate theirs. Everything we do gives them permission to do the same, so together we practice tools that build calm, respect, and trust — one real moment at a time.As we step into Be A Better Parent, I’m thrilled to share that the Be A Better Parent app is now live on the App Store and Google Play. It’s your in-the-moment guide for today’s fast-paced parenting. Quick steps for tough moments, bite-size lessons you can use on the go, and everyday support to help you stay consistent when life gets loud.

Parents, grief is one of those tough topics that so many of us struggle with — how do we help our children when they lose a loved one, a pet, or even go through big life changes like divorce?

In this episode of the Pumped Up Parenting Podcast, I’m talking with Dr. Jerry L. Woodbridge, an award-winning Christian author, grief advocate, and lifelong educator, about how we can guide our kids through these hard moments with honesty, love, and faith.

Dr. Jerry shares her own journey of loss, what she learned as both a mom and a teacher, and how her book Joy Overcame Sorrow gives kids and parents a safe way to explore grief together. You’ll hear about the power of storytelling, journaling, memory boxes, and most of all—being real with our children so they feel safe sharing their feelings.

This conversation is full of hope, tools, and encouragement for every parent. Because yes, grief hurts, but it also comes from love. And with the right support, kids can learn to carry both sorrow and joy in their hearts.

Parenting is never perfectly balanced, and sometimes it is not even close.

In this heart-opening conversation, I sit down with Daryl Potter, a dad and author who raised two kids on very different paths: one with complex medical needs and one who still needed his own place in the spotlight.

You will hear how his family navigated daily medical crises and palliative care while keeping his son seen, secure, and deeply loved.

We talk about simple habits that change everything. Schedule real one-on-one time. Take your kids on date nights even when life feels chaotic. Keep small promises that matter, like a nightly thirty-minute game session even if video games are not your thing. These tiny rituals add up to a confident, connected child who knows they are special on their own.

When family support fell through, Daryl and his wife built a chosen family and created a new kind of vacation rhythm so each parent could rest while their daughter received the care she needed.

Their story models kindness, commitment, flexibility, and courage for kids and adults alike. Press play for perspective and practical steps you can use tonight.

When we hit, threaten, or shout, we don’t teach respect — we teach fear.

In this straight-talking episode, I dismantle the myth that spanking “toughens kids up” and show you what actually builds strong, respectful humans: calm leadership, clear limits, and consistent follow-through.

If you’ve ever wondered why the yelling keeps coming back after a spanking, this will connect the dots — and give you a better way.

We’ll get practical: how to swap punishment for real-world consequences, how to set age-appropriate expectations, and how to give specific directions kids can actually follow (goodbye, vague “Be good”; hello, “Put the cars in the bucket”).

You’ll hear why modeling matters. If we hit, we’re teaching hitting and how kindness plus firm boundaries raises confident, capable kids (not “soft” ones).

You are not stuck with the way you were raised.

You can be the calm leader your child needs — respected without fear, heard without yelling, and loved without conditions.

I believe in you, and your kids will feel the difference.

Parenting is influence — whether it’s you, a friend, a teacher, or the endless scroll of the internet, someone is shaping your child’s beliefs, behaviors, and future.

In this special episode of the Pumped Up Parenting Podcast, you’ll hear Celia Kibler’s full, unfiltered talk from The Intentional Parent Annual Conference 2025.

With her signature mix of warmth, humor, and practical wisdom, Celia shows you how to become the primary and most positive influence in your child’s life replacing yelling and control with connection, respect, and calm guidance that truly lasts.

From the difference between control and influence to the four key pillars that help children thrive — connection, consistency, calm communication, and role modeling, this inspiring talk is packed with real-life examples, actionable steps, and truths every parent needs to hear.

You’ll discover why your example speaks louder than any lecture, how to set expectations that lift your child up instead of tearing them down, and the small, consistent actions that turn chaos into cooperation.

Whether you’re parenting toddlers or teens, you’ll leave this episode feeling encouraged, equipped, and ready to create a home where respect is mutual, laughter is frequent, and love speaks louder than yelling. This is your invitation to parent with intention and to influence the next generation in the most positive way possible.

If you only listen to one parenting podcast this year—let it be this one.

Don’t miss this powerful conversation with world-renowned brain expert Dr. Robert Melillo, best-selling author of Disconnected Kids and creator of the Melillo Method, whose groundbreaking work in brain health has transformed the lives of thousands of children and families.

If you're concerned about screen time, emotional regulation, missed milestones, or rising diagnoses—this is the must-hear episode that could change everything.

We talk about what pediatricians often overlook, why crawling is a milestone (despite what the CDC now says), and how resilience—not overprotection—is the key to a mentally strong child.

Dr. Melillo and I also dive into parenting styles, the long-term consequences of gentle parenting when taken too far, and how your family’s structure can either support or sabotage your child’s development.

In this deeply important episode of the Pumped Up Parenting Podcast, we’re diving into a conversation every parent needs to hear - about the inner critic.

I’m joined by the insightful Alyssa Scarano, therapist and founder of The Collective Therapy & Wellness, and together we unpack how those harsh inner voices are formed, how they’re rooted in childhood patterns, and most importantly —how we can begin to shift from self-judgment to self-compassion.

Alyssa shares powerful strategies to help parents recognize and break generational cycles of shame, guilt, and emotional survival. We talk about how healing your own inner narrative isn’t just life-changing for you — it’s transformational for your kids.

This episode will inspire you to pause, reflect, and reclaim your peace because calm begins from the inside out.

Want to connect with Alyssa? Visit collective-therapy.com to learn more or reach out for support.

You are not failing — you’re healing. 💛

What if the key to your child’s focus, creativity, and emotional balance isn’t another app or activity—but music?

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and brilliant educator Neil Moore, founder of Simply Music and author of Music on Mars, to talk about why music may just be the most important (and most overlooked) skill your kids aren’t learning.

Neil shares his personal story and how it led to a global movement that’s helping people of all ages experience music as a natural language. We explore how music builds the brain, nurtures emotional regulation, and brings families closer—no prior talent or reading sheet music required.

Whether your child is struggling to focus or you’re just craving more connection at home, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to make music part of your everyday life.
