Do NOT Talk to Your Kid’s Coach
Youth sports: where getting your kid on a team can feel like negotiating a business deal, coaches have celebrity-level status, and somehow the parents are often more invested than the players. We get into the behind-the-scenes world of competitive sports, from parents negotiating ice time, positions, and even team fees, to recruiting, roster politics and the pressure to keep your kid one step ahead. Plus, why are coaches so intimidating, how do rumours get started, and what is it about a youth sports coach that apparently gives them so much “aura”? It's a whole world of deals, drama and sideline behaviour, and the kids might just be the least dramatic people involved.Keywordsyouth hockey, hockey parents, team recruitment, youth sports, hockey coaching, sports parenting, team selectionKey Topics• The hosts distinguish team offers and negotiations from parents demanding a guaranteed role, captaincy, jersey number, or special treatment.• They discuss how promises of position, power-play time, penalty-kill time, and other perks may influence a family’s team choice.• The hosts argue that deals made for adult status or preference can undermine a child’s development and standing with teammates.• They warn that kids overhear parents criticizing other players, and those comments can shape how children treat one another.• They explore why some parents see coaches as inaccessible or intimidating, and how limited contact can fuel rumors and an exaggerated sense of coach status.• The conversation covers the timing and uncertainty of roster decisions, including early recruiting, January feedback, and the frustration of late notice.• They discuss captain selection, favoring a team vote when possible to maintain players’ trust.• A listener’s account of feeling a coach dislikes their child prompts the hosts to suggest clear communication or finding a better fit.• They describe how former coaches may keep in touch with families as part of future recruiting.

ADHD, Hormones or Mom Brain?
Is ADHD suddenly everywhere, or are we just finally recognizing what’s been going on in our brains this whole time? We’re getting into ADHD, neurodivergence, brain fog, hormones and why so many women seem to be struggling as they get older. We talk about whether phones are creating ADHD-like behaviours, how masking and years of coping can eventually catch up with you, and why some kids can look like they’re listening when their brains are actually somewhere completely different. We also get into the different ways ADHD shows up, executive functioning, learning disabilities and why finding the right support can make such a difference. Plus, we discuss the very real gift of being able to move on quickly, not take everything personally, accept constructive criticism without spiralling, and why we might just be a little toxically positive.KeywordsADHD in women, neurodivergence, executive functioning, masking ADHD, learning differences, school support, working memoryKey topicsThe co-hosts wonder whether changing hormones and life demands can make previously manageable ADHD traits feel more difficult, and distinguish their questions from medical advice.They discuss ADHD masking, anxiety, brain fog, and the importance of exploring what is causing a real-life difficulty rather than pursuing a label for its own sake.One host describes executive-function challenges in her child, including transitions, working memory, and the effort of appearing focused while mentally overwhelmed.They recall childhood struggles in school and ask whether earlier ADHD recognition and appropriate support might have helped, while acknowledging that outcomes vary.The hosts reframe traits like moving on quickly, accepting constructive feedback, and taking risks as possible strengths, while recognizing these are personal experiences rather than universal traits.They discuss gratitude and a naturally positive outlook, using Halloween candy and children's excitement as examples of finding happiness in small moments.They describe practical patterns they associate with ADHD, such as working better with someone nearby and relying on visible piles to organize belongings.The conversation questions whether learning assessments explain why a student struggles and imagines schools designed around different learning needs, including more outdoor learning.

Are Our Kids Just Parenting Themselves?
Are we too hands-off as parents, or have we somehow stumbled onto a parenting strategy that actually works? We’re getting into the great parenting debate: how involved should we really be in our kids’ schoolwork, academics and future plans? We talk about raising seven kids who, somehow, have become pretty self-sufficient and intrinsically motivated when it comes to school, whether that was intentional or just sheer luck. We get into university pressure, when kids finally start caring about their grades, why fighting over homework might do more harm than good, and using AI to actually help with studying (not cheating). Plus, we question whether we've done a great job parenting or whether our kids have just figured out how to parent themselves. Honestly, we're still not sure.Keywordsparenting, education, child development, independence, motivation, school, university, homework, parenting strategiesKey Topics* Changing parenting philosophies over time* Balancing hands-on and hands-off parenting* The role of schools and teachers in child success* Encouraging intrinsic motivation and independence* The impact of technology and AI on learning* Pathways and career planning for teens* The importance of early habits and routines* Parenting challenges with homework and school involvement Hosted on Acast.

HRT, Hot Flashes & Hormones with Dr. Mary Claire Haver
Why does nobody prepare us for perimenopause and menopause? One minute we’re managing our lives just fine, and the next we can’t sleep, can’t remember a word, feel irritated by literally everyone, and wonder what is happening to our bodies.We were so excited to talk to board-certified OB-GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner Dr. Mary Claire Haver to talk about what’s actually happening during the menopause transition, from brain fog, mood changes and weight gain to hormone therapy, sleep and long-term health. We get into the confusion around HRT, why hormone blood tests aren’t the answer everyone thinks they are, and how to know when it’s time to ask for help.Plus, Dr. Haver shares why strength training and protein matter, and what we can do now to feel stronger and healthier as we age. Because we’re not just trying to survive our 40s and 50s. We want to feel good at 60, 70 and beyond.If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s you, your hormones, or everyone around you suddenly becoming unbearable, this episode is for you. You’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you do not have to suffer through it.Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause and The New Perimenopause and founder of The ‘Pause Wellness, a clinic dedicated to comprehensive menopause care. She also hosts unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver and is a leading voice in menopause education, translating complex science into accessible, evidence-based information for women. For more on Dr. Mary Claire Haver follow her @drmaryclaire. You can find her books and so much more at https://thepauselife.com/.Keywordsperimenopause, menopause, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, hormone therapy, HRT, brain fog, bone health, osteoporosis, vaginal estrogen, menopause symptoms menopause, perimenopause, hormone replacement therapy, HRT, GLP-1, bone density, muscle, visceral fat, women's health, strength trainingKey topicsDr. Haver explains why perimenopause’s effects on sleep, mood, cognition, and the whole body were historically under recognized in medical training.The conversation distinguishes common brain fog, such as losing words or keys, from dementia-related loss of understanding; Haver notes that brain fog is not itself a formal diagnosis.Dr. Haver describes steadier moods, stronger boundaries, and positive changes in her own post-menopause life.Dr. Haver says hormone levels fluctuate too much for a simple perimenopause blood-test baseline; diagnosis relies on symptoms, clinical assessment, and tests to check for other causes.Dr. Haver says every woman deserves an individualized conversation, not a default prescription.Dr. Haver emphasizes that hormone therapy is not a weight-loss drug and that body composition, including muscle and bone, matters beyond the scale. Weight alone can be misleading; maintaining bone and muscle matters, with strength training and adequate nutrition as important supports.She describes increased visceral fat accumulation during the menopause transition and explains why waist measurements and body-composition tracking can reveal more than appearance or scale weight.Dr. Haver says hormone therapy may slow visceral fat accumulation but does not melt fat; she discusses GLP-1 medications as another clinical tool, alongside attention to muscle and bone.She outlines a clinic approach she calls “GPS”: GLP-1 medication, protein tailored to body composition, and strength training.Dr. Haver explains that people with a uterus need endometrial protection when using systemic estrogen, such as with a progestogen or, in some cases, an IUD; she also notes progesterone may be calming and support sleep.The conversation highlights gaps in clinician menopause training, ways to seek informed care, and Haver’s advocacy for better education, care, and insurance coverage.Dr. Haver frames long-term health around strength, quality nutrition, sleep, community, boundaries, and putting health ahead of thinness.

University & Money: When Do We Cut Them Off?
How much money are we actually supposed to give our kids when they go off to university? We’re paying for tuition, residence and meal plans, and somehow they still need money for Uber Eats, clothes, nails, groceries and pretty much everything else. How much allowance is reasonable? Should we be giving them a set amount or letting them figure it out themselves? We also get into credit cards, debt, and the things we wish we’d known at their age. Because at some point, we have to stop managing every dollar for them and teach them how to manage it themselves. But how much is too much, and when do you cut them off? We want to hear what you’re budgeting for your kids each month and how they’re making it all work!Keywordsuniversity expenses, student budgeting, financial independence, parental guidance, student life, money management, university costs, financial literacy, student habits, budgeting tipsKey topicsUniversity expenses and costsStudent budgeting habits and habitsParental guidance on financial independenceRealistic spending for students living away from homeLessons in financial literacy for young adults Hosted on Acast.

Your Kid Is Eight. Calm the Freak Down!
Hockey parents know that the game is about so much more than what happens on the ice. We’ve encountered so many different types of hockey coaches over the years, from the young, energetic coaches full of promise to the cranky, win-at-all-costs coaches. And then there are the ones who seem to have a little anger management issue.We’re talking screaming coaches, kids getting benched for things that are completely out of their control, brutal mid-season cuts and the parents who are somehow still paying thousands of dollars for the privilege. Because youth sports can bring out the best and the absolute worst in grown-ups. And somewhere in the middle of all the yelling, pressure and team drama, someone needs to remember that these are literally just kids playing a game.Keywordsyouth hockey, coaching styles, parental involvement, youth sports chaos, hockey coaching humorKey topicsDifferent coaching styles and their impactThe role of yelling and discipline in coachingParent and coach dynamics in youth sportsChallenges of team selection and coaching qualityHumorous and chaotic moments in youth hockey Hosted on Acast.
