GESPONSERT
On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

The one who remembers the pediatrician’s number, tracks school spirit days, and anticipates every snack, schedule, and meltdown? You might be the default parent —and you’re not alone.

Are you still hearing that you should wait days between introducing new foods—or that food causes eczema? Are you stressed about feeding your baby the top 9 allergens? In this episode, I sit down with pediatric allergist Dr. Dave Stukus to bust the biggest myths about food allergies. We’re talking real science, not fear: when to introduce allergens, why elimination diets can do more harm than good, and what’s actually driving the rise in allergies today. We discuss: Early allergen introduction helps prevent food allergies. Food doesn't cause eczema—here’s what actually does. Vaccines don’t cause allergies—here’s what’s behind the rise.

You’ve probably heard the claim that sleep training—especially methods like "cry-it-out"—can flood babies with toxic stress. But is that actually what the science says? In this episode, I sit down with a leading developmental expert to unpack the research on cortisol, stress, and infant development. We cover how the stress response system works, what truly qualifies as toxic stress, and why common fears about sleep training may be missing important context. Whether you're team sleep-train or not, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and evidence-backed guidance. Key Takeaways: Cortisol is a normal, necessary hormone that helps us respond to stress. Not all stress is toxic—especially when it’s brief and supported by a caregiver. There's no evidence linking sleep training with long-term harm. Misinterpreting small or flawed studies can create unnecessary fear for parents. Sleep training, when developmentally appropriate, can be a positive and adaptive experience for both babies and parents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

After watching the Netflix series Adolescence , I was left gutted, moved, and full of questions—just like many of you who reached out. “I watched it. I was shocked. I was moved… but now what do I do with these big feelings I’m having and this information?” Whether you’re raising a boy or a girl, this show forces us to reckon with disconnection, violence, and parenting in the digital age. In this conversation, I sit down with Ruth Whippman and Dr. Zabina Bhasin to explore what the show reveals about masculinity, emotional disconnection, and how boys are often left emotionally starved in today’s culture. We talk about parenting, school systems, and online influences—and most importantly, how we can start doing better for our kids. We discuss: How the Netflix series Adolescence reflects the emotional isolation many boys experience—and why it’s a cultural crisis. How masculinity, parenting, school systems, and online influences shape how boys express (or suppress) their feelings. Practical, compassionate strategies to help parents, educators, and adults raise emotionally safe, connected boys in today’s world. To connect with Ruth Whippman follow her on Instagram @ruthwhippman , check out all her resources at http://www.ruthwhippman.com/ , join her Substack: I Blame Society and purchase her book Boy Mom .

In this episode, I’m getting deeply personal about something so many of us carry but rarely talk about: mom guilt. After speaking at the Mom 2.0 Summit and leaving home with a sick child, I found myself questioning everything—again. Can I be a present, loving mom and still pursue the work that lights me up? I explore the tension between purpose and presence, and how we can reframe guilt as a sign of how deeply we care—not proof that we’re failing. I also dive into the concept of the “good-enough mother,” the power of modeling joy, and why slowing down doesn’t mean giving up. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who you’re becoming, this episode is for you. I discuss: Why mom guilt isn’t always a red flag—it’s often a sign of growth and purpose. How modeling joy and ambition can actually strengthen your child’s emotional development. What it means to embrace shifting seasons in motherhood without losing yourself.

Buzzwords like “non-GMO” and “all natural” can make a product appear like a good choice but with confusing marketing how do we curb the overwhelm and make good food decisions for our kids? Whether you're navigating snack aisles or Instagram reels, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants real, evidence-based guidance on feeding their family well. I’m joined by Dr. Adrian Chavez, who has a Ph.D. in Nutrition and Health Promotion, to discuss: How fear-based marketing and social media myths mislead parents. How to decode buzzwords like "organic" and "non-GMO" and make informed choices without the guilt. Practical, judgment-free tips to build healthy habits for your family—without the overwhelm.
