    What's The New Fresh Hell In Public Health?
    2025/12/11

    This week, we have another guest! Dr. Devika Bhushan, a pediatrician, public health leader, former acting Surgeon General in California, and mom, chats with Quinn and Claire about the breastfeeding data nobody tells you about, why sleep protection is literally life-saving for some moms, vaccine hesitancy, raw milk, and all the other health & wellness misinformation swirling around the news cycle.

  • I Had My Petty Boots On (And I Liked It)

    I Had My Petty Boots On (And I Liked It)
    2025/12/04

    This week, we have author and journalist Nefertiti Austin on the show to talk about her new book She's Just Spirited: Parenting a Neurodivergent Child and The Diagnosis that Changes Everything. Nefertiti gets real about raising a daughter with ADHD, why ADHD in girls often gets overlooked, glass children, mean girls in the fourth grade, 4:30 AM Roblox drops, and being the petty parent sometimes.

  • Go to Bed Angry

    Go to Bed Angry
    2025/11/13

    This week, Claire and Quinn chat Halloween logistics, the rear-facing car seat as the ultimate deterrent to having another baby, Claire's solo cabin getaway where doing absolutely nothing is worth every penny, and why it's better to just go to bed angry instead of drag out a fight when you're all exhausted.

  • Your Kids Don't Care About Your Success

    Your Kids Don't Care About Your Success
    2025/10/30

    This week: We won a podcast award! And now we're immediately spiraling into existential conversations about where we seek approval, why we need it, and how it's completely different (and weirdly the same) for our kids. We're talking about the Eldest Daughter pressure to be in the top 20 in a class of 600, setting "the floor" for your kids' behavior, the implicit contract of putting your art/work/self out there to be judged, and how approval-seeking changes from explicit to implicit.

  • Don't Make It Somebody Else's Problem

    Don't Make It Somebody Else's Problem
    2025/10/23

    This week, Claire and Quinn discuss the very normal things like getting back into shape (this time it's happening!), anniversary celebrations that peak at the cheese plate, and whether a C-minus in social studies is actually a problem. Also: fake spiderwebs as voluntary garbage, ICE at school drop-offs (fuck ICE), why anger feels productive but isn't, and your kids going to their very first wake.

  • What's The Point of This Salad?

    What's The Point of This Salad?
    2025/10/09

    After catching up on the weekend's chaos (signing up to be toilet papered, progressive dinner parties, and dads of preteens who've apparently never heard of Snapchat), Quinn and Claire discuss the never-ending battle that is feeding your children, your spouse, and yourself. Topics on the table include the myth of meal planning, Claire's vendetta against Taco Tuesday, bell peppers as the "am I feeling rich today?" indicator, Quinn's vegan chili (it's good, he promises!), and free (or not) school lunches.

  • That's A Hard No

    That's A Hard No
    2025/10/02

    We're back!

    This week, Claire and Quinn are crashing out over back-to-school chaos (music class that your kid swears they aren't supposed to practice for, curriculum night avoidance, and late start mornings), the cognitive labor of being the "superhuman" parent vs. "the bumbler", dealing with your stubborn Boomer parents, and their current survival strategies (from hiring a scheduling assistant to taking two gummies in the closet because it's a an EMERGENCY) amid a news cycle that just won't stop (media literacy is the new first aid).

  • Don't Touch Me While I'm Cooking (Or Maybe Ever?)

    Don't Touch Me While I'm Cooking (Or Maybe Ever?)
    2025/08/07

    This week, Claire and Quinn tackle the brutal summer heat while diving into the complexities of maintaining a relationship with your co-parent. Finding couple time when everyone just wants to retreat to their separate corners is an eternal struggle, especially when you're balancing getting body-shamed by your own children and finding out your kid has been playing inappropriate games online.
