Kids today aren’t anxious because they’re weak or fragile.
They’re anxious because they’re growing up inside systems that constantly measure, rank, and evaluate them.

In this episode, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, inspired by Alex Warren's song, we talk about the youth anxiety epidemic through a wider lens. We explore how school pressure, hyper‑competitive sports, social media, and well‑intentioned parenting can quietly teach kids that their worth is conditional.

We also discuss a recent legal verdict finding Meta and YouTube negligent for engineering addictive platforms aimed at children, and we look to Norway as an example of what happens when a culture protects childhood instead of optimizing it.

This conversation is for parents, coaches, educators, and anyone who loves kids and wants them to know they matter beyond their performance.

🎉 Turning 40: Birthdays, Milestones & Midlife Magic 🎉

This week’s episode is something totally new… because for Courtney’s 40th, Erin and our first-ever MYSTERY GUEST take over the mic and interview her with their own mix of heartfelt, hilarious, and slightly chaotic questions.

Expect a lighter, fun episode where you get to know your hosts in a whole new way. We talk birthdays, midlife energy, what we’re leaving behind, and who we’re becoming — and yes, Erin and their guest ask exactly the questions you think they would.

A few teasers:
✨ What are you most looking forward to over the next decade?
✨ Who are you becoming that 20‑year‑old you would admire?
✨ And… who is harder to co‑regulate, Erin or their guest?

Celebrate with us and join the midlife magic.

Who will the mystery guest be?!?!

Why do we shut down, pull away, or go on the defensive the moment we feel exposed?
This week’s episode explores the biology and psychology of emotional armor- the patterns we develop to feel safe when vulnerability feels threatening.
We break down how shame triggers, stress, and past experiences shape our reactions, and how we can begin softening the defenses that keep us disconnected from the people we care about.
🎧 New episode: “Armor Up: Why We Dodge Vulnerability When We Need It Most” out now!
A conversation about protection, connection, and the courage it takes to be seen.

Feeling personally victimized by winter? SAME.
❄️🧣

In this week’s lighter episode, we dive into our winter alter‑egos, the science behind why winter makes us different people, our most chaotic coping mechanisms, and the comfort shows that get us through.

We also talk about Katherine May’s beautiful book Wintering and why this season asks us to slow down, soften, and lean into rituals that help us survive the darkness (literally and emotionally).

If you’re ready to laugh, relate, and get to know your hosts a little better, this one’s for you.

What if the belief that’s been holding you back… wasn’t actually yours to begin with?
In our newest episode, we’re talking about limiting beliefs—how early experiences write quiet stories about who we are, what we’re allowed to want, and how much space we’re “supposed” to take up.
We dig into:
✨ How childhood moments shape lifelong narratives
✨ How systems (religion, culture, power structures) benefit when we disconnect from our knowing
✨ Why intuition is the first thing to go when we internalize limiting beliefs
✨ How reconnecting mind + body helps us rewrite the old story
✨ And how to take the risks and challenges your old self never thought were possible
Plus, we share a powerful excerpt from Jen Hatmaker’s book "Awake" to illustrate where these beliefs often begin.
If you're ready to step into the version of yourself you’ve been holding back… this episode is your invitation.

When life feels heavy or hopeless, it’s easy to believe nothing you do matters.
But here’s the truth: change in one person affects every relationship around them.
In our newest episode, we break down how relational systems work, and why even the smallest shift in your behavior, boundaries, or presence can create a ripple across your entire family, team, or community.
We explore:
✨ Why hopelessness is often relational, not personal
✨ How systems reorganize when one person changes
✨ What authenticity and connection look like in real‑life relationships
✨ Small actions that create big impact

If you’ve been overwhelmed or unsure where to start, this episode is an invitation back into your power.
