    Parenting is a Team Sport with Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy
    Aug 30 2024

    In today’s episode we sit down with Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General and father of two for a deep dive into the unprecedented challenges facing parents today. From skyrocketing stress levels to the silent epidemic of loneliness, Dr. Murthy sheds light on why so many parents are feeling overwhelmed—and what we can do about it. We discuss the power of small, intentional connections, the importance of prioritizing your own well-being, and why embracing a "team sport" approach to parenting can make all the difference.

  • The Pressure of Achievement Culture & How it May be Harming us

    The Pressure of Achievement Culture & How it May be Harming us
    Aug 16 2024

    In today’s episode we are joined by scientist and psychologist Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary. We dive into the uncertain waters of modern parenting- where the push for optimization and mental health awareness may be doing more harm than good. We discuss the delicate balance between providing support and allowing children to navigate their own emotional challenges, the pressures of achievement culture, and the mixed messages parents receive about mental health.

Would not the mother I am today with Dr. Aliza

This is my motherhood secret weapon...when I don't know what to do, I do not call my mother, I frantically scroll through Raising Good Humans until I find what I am going through. I have found that her approach to children, to behavior, to parenting to be the most well rounded. I KNOW I would be lost without her guidance, without her reassurance that sometimes the problem is ME and MY expectations. My child is now 3 years old and I have leaned on her for every stage since he was born. The deepest, warmest thank you to you Dr. Pressman for everything you bring into my motherhood, for exposing me to experts and points of view that I would not have come to on my own but most of all thank you for making motherhood empowering! Forever a fan!

How to deal with BIG feelings

This episode was so great for a parent that is raising a toddler and a school aged child without growing up in a safe environment to express her own BIG feelings. This gave some great examples and understanding to why my children may act out at times. They are not bad children, but are having a difficult time expressing their feelings. Thank you so much for this great information.

Comforting and Informative

I really enjoy listening to Aliza. I find her to be comforting and understanding. She has really good conversations with her guests that make me immediately want to learn even more. I can’t wait for her book coming out in January. I’ve already ordered it. 🤗
