  • Interrupting Host

    I'm a long time listener; I've actually listened since the first episode! However, I can no longer listen. One of the hosts continually interrupts the other, and I'm finding it unpalatable. This same host is becoming more and more self-serving in their commentary and paints themselves as almost perfect. It's just too much.

  • Ugh

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years but lately I can’t get over how much Amy interrupts Abby. It is constant. Maybe it’s the editing but it seems like Abby never gets to actually make her points because Amy dominates the conversations. It’s very distracting and feels a little preachy.

    I’m new here, as I am a mom of two young humans, a wife, and in a mental space of wanting to better myself for the people in my life.

    I am catching up on all episodes from the very beginning. This podcast is so reassuring that the experience of being a Woman in today’s world is universal! Their vulnerability is beautiful.

  • The real deal

    These ladies are the real deal!!! They are so genuine and open. I feel like they’re my friends since I listen regularly and love their personal stories. They are honest and don’t sugarcoat things, but come across so kind all the time. They also have great guests and episode topics. I especially enjoyed the recent “comparison” episode. Very relevant and appropriate for my phase of life. Here are all the gold stars for you two!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

341: Helping Your Kids Navigate Friendships with Dr. Willough Jenkins
Q: What are practical tips to keep communication open with tweens and teens about friendships?
Prioritize presence and regular, low-pressure conversations; avoid lecturing; use activities like walks or car rides to create comfortable moments for dialogue; encourage independent problem-solving and repair; and involve outside perspectives if concerns persist.
341: Helping Your Kids Navigate Friendships with Dr. Willough Jenkins
Q: What can be done for children with anxious attachment who ruminate about social interactions?
Recognize their sensitivity as a strength, avoid overloading them with details, and build 'friendship anchors' through one or two solid relationships while guiding them to read social cues and practice responses. Consider structured settings and role-play to build confidence.
341: Helping Your Kids Navigate Friendships with Dr. Willough Jenkins
Q: How should we respond when our child says they don't want to be friends anymore after a small incident?
It's normal for school-age kids to test whether friendships can survive conflict. Acknowledge the sadness, coach through repair, and help them understand that friendships endure with care and communication rather than avoiding difficult situations.
337: Do You Actually Want to Change? Listen to This With Karin Nordin
Q: Is exercising in the morning the best approach, and how would you coach someone to start if they can't wake up early?
She stresses that exercise is not a strict habit but a set of change skills; start by stacking movement onto an existing routine, like walking after dropping a child at daycare, and gradually build momentum rather than forcing a new early-morning habit.
337: Do You Actually Want to Change? Listen to This With Karin Nordin
Q: What does a behavior change expert actually do for women, and how did you start down this career path?
Karin explains her background in psychology, interpersonal communication, and health communication, then describes how her personal struggle with change inspired her to study behavior change scientifically and apply it practically for daily life.
