  • Thought-Provoking and Insightful Conversations

    I’ve been following your work for a while and really appreciate the powerful reframes and insights you share. The podcast brings so much wisdom, both from you and your guests. I’d love to hear even more from them sometimes it feels like their thoughts get cut short, and I know they have so much to offer. Your perspective is valuable, and giving space for the full exchange could make the conversations even richer. Looking forward to more episodes!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

67: Psychedelics, Parenthood and Reconnection
Q: How do you determine the best psychedelic option for a person?
I assess intention, traumas, and lifestyle, guiding them to the right compound and to a trained, ethical practitioner to ensure proper set, setting, and integration.
65: The Stories We Inherit with Morgan Radford
Q: Can you introduce yourself and share what listeners may not know about you?
I am Morgan Radford, an eternal optimist, a mother, a wife, a journalist, a storyteller, and now an author; I focus on exploring identity, belonging, and the stories we inherit from our families.
59: I Don't Believe in Homework
Q: What is your view on homework for young learners, and why is there so little evidence supporting worksheet-style assignments?
The guest emphasizes that reading remains beneficial when done in varied, daily ways, while blanket worksheet homework for young children lacks strong evidence of benefit and may be influenced by home context, sleep, and family dynamics; she advocates for intentional differentiation and alternative strategies to build executive functioning and literacy.
59: I Don't Believe in Homework
Q: Can you tell us who you are in your own words?
Caitlin introduces herself as a mom of two, a specialist in strength-based learning and executive functioning, and a professional focused on helping teachers and parents nurture confident, capable kids.
60: From School Admissions to Building Life Skills
Q: What role does family culture play in choosing a school?
Family values, language priorities, and the home environment should align with the school culture to foster consistency and support, rather than treating school choice as a standalone decision.
