This week Kristen & Talia discuss their differences as an extrovert vs an introvert. They chat about how being each personality type impacts their parenting, including the struggles (i.e. birthday parties, calling to make appointments). They also speculate on if their children are introverts or extroverts and what parenting each personality type looks like to them. Additionally, in their parenting wins and fails of the week, they get into a discussion about apologizing. They discuss if they force their kids to say sorry, as well as other ways they think their child can show remorse.

This week Kristen & Talia chat about their adventures in potty training their kiddos. We hear from Kristen first, who you can guess, had a structured, researched approach to the endeavor. She used start charts, prizes, alliteration, & was done in four days. Talia took a more laid back approach, but still used stickers & prizes. They discuss what worked best for their particular kid and tailoring potty training to your child's personality. They both also waited until their kids were older. Kristen's son had just turned three and Talia's daughter was closing in on four. Tune in to hear their tips, tricks, & failures from potty training their first born kids!

She and her husband have been trying to expand their family for almost a year, and she's at her wits end.

This week we keep it real with our diet & exercise journey. The episode starts off with Talia describing her upbringing and culture around food, exercise, and body image. She takes us through pregnancy and postpartum, discussing her experience with trying to lose the baby weight. She also shares her struggles with emotional eating while in the hospital with Skye. We then get to hear Kristen's upbringing and culture around food, exercise, and body image. We get a glimpse into her mentality before, during, and after her pregnancies, and how she approached postpartum fitness each time. They both discuss how they want the culture of these topics to be for their kids, in the hopes of raising intuitive, confident children. They do drop a D-bag while talking, so make sure you are not listening around your kids this week.

This week we had a super fun conversation with our friend Lauren. We have had a lot of interviews where moms tell us how difficult transitioning to multiple kids was for them, and about the postpartum mood disorders they struggled with. If you have not been able to relate, this might be the interview for you. Lauren had pretty easy transitions with all of her children, and did not deal with postpartum mood disorders. We ask her how to foster the close relationship that her children seem to share. We dive into questions pertaining to parenting, such as how to help your toddler when they are hitting, as well as helping toddlers and older kids work through emotions. She answers a listener question about stages of development, which lead to a discussion about realistic expectations for children. Whether you have toddlers or older kids, this episode has some extremely helpful parenting tips!
