  • Good but too many ads

    This podcast provides a lot of good information but I feel like I’m skipping an ad every few minutes. I understand you need to make money for your work but maybe frontload them or just do one big ad break in the middle to improve the listener experience.

  • Life Changing

    I was first introduced to Dr. Aliza Pressman on the Mel Robbins podcast. After listening to her five R approach to parenting, I immediately shared that impactful episode, followed her on Instagram and have since become a frequent listener to her podcast. I have three children, ages 13,11 and 9, and have struggled my parenting throughout the years. Dr. Pressman has changed the way I approach my parenting, my relationships, myself. All I can say is, “thank you.”

  • My go to parenting advice

    Where to start. I have two wonderful children close in age, Harry 5 and Ava 4. They didn’t come with a manual! So I bought Dr. Aliza Pressman’s book (I think after Jennifer Garner recommended it- my other superwoman hero). It has sat on my bedside table ever since and I regularly impart extracts from it to anyone that will listen. In the last year I have leaned heavily on the podcast as we are traversing my son’s ADHD diagnosis with care and attention and I have valued so much the chance to take... more

  • “Aura” is for USA only

    Love the podcast, recently listened to the online security episode. Great content however, Aura can only be used if you have an address in the USA - sharing for other out of country listeners.

  • Decent content but 4 mins of commercials every 5 minutes breaks the continuity of episodes

    I like the show, but my goodness, my ADD absolutely goes nuts listening. Every 5 minutes having 3-4 minutes of commercials is really distracting.

    It’s reason this podcast gets shuffled to the bottom of my queue. I skip episodes for other podcasts with greater content continuity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Resilience: What It Really Means & The “Ordinary Magic” It Takes to Build It w/ Professor Ann Masten
Q: Can you explain Ordinary Magic and how everyday supports contribute to positive outcomes for kids?
Ordinary magic is about recognizing that everyday resources—caring adults, strong relationships, routines, cultural practices, and access to education—collectively create resilience. It shows that extraordinary outcomes often come from common, reliable supports rather than rare events.
Resilience: What It Really Means & The “Ordinary Magic” It Takes to Build It w/ Professor Ann Masten
Q: What is your working definition of resilience and why did you choose to frame it as a system-level capacity?
Resilience is the capacity of a system to adapt successfully to challenges that could harm or destroy it. This broader view allows cross-disciplinary understanding and emphasizes that a child is connected to families, schools, health systems, and communities, all of which contribute to thriving despite adversity.
The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness w/ Professor Arthur Brooks
Q: How do we think honestly about limits without it being just a willpower issue in a world hijacked by technology?
Discipline is built through habits and routines; start with small, repeatable actions like a 42-day workout routine and a strict routine to limit screen time—use real alarms, walk after waking, and avoid blue screens at night.
Independent Play, Play Pockets, and What to Do When Your Child Says “I’m Bored” with Lizzie Assa
Q: How can you promote independent play and keep it a little bit less child-centered?
You can create playpockets in accessible areas to encourage independent play.
Independent Play, Play Pockets, and What to Do When Your Child Says “I’m Bored” with Lizzie Assa
Q: What do we do when our kids keep coming to us?
We need to create quiet time and promote independent play.
