Millennial moms were told they could be anything.Doctor. Lawyer. Entrepreneur. Founder.But no one mentioned the other two full-time jobs:Raising childrenRunning a householdIn this episode, Jamie sits down with Katherine to talk about the generational messaging that shaped modern motherhood — and why so many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like they’re somehow failing.Jamie brings the Gen X perspective, raised by boomers and depression-era grandparents.Katherine brings the millennial perspective — a generation raised to believe they should excel professionally while also building a perfect home life.And the reality?Something had to give.In this conversation, they unpack:The generational messaging millennial women grew up withThe pressure to “be the best” at everythingWhy motherhood was treated like a side note to career successHow parenting expectations have changed across generationsWhy so many modern parents feel like they’re drowningThe cultural differences around motherhood in the U.S. vs EuropeThe unrealistic expectations placed on modern familiesWhat actually needs to changeThis episode is an honest look at the impossible standard placed on modern mothers — and why it's time to rethink what success actually looks like.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Brick for Phones (Save 10%)If I die in a blizzard… does my kid know where the folder is?That’s not anxiety.That’s logistics.In this episode, I’m talking about something we are terrible at as a society:Preparing for death.Not in a morbid way.Not in a fearful way.In a practical way.Because if you’ve ever lost someone close to you, you know:The week after someone dies is chaos.Paperwork.Phone calls.Passwords.Decisions.Funeral arrangements.Assets.Access.All while actively grieving.In this episode I cover:Why every parent needs a will (even if you “don’t have assets”)Choosing guardians and putting it in writingWhy passwords are everythingWhat’s actually in my “death folder”Trusts, beneficiaries, and pour-over willsMaking funeral decisions in advanceWhy I update my obituary photoWhy you need access to your spouse’s financial infoWhy you should sit down with aging parents nowHow decline can happen fastWhy strength training matters as we ageHow to make it easy on the livingThis episode isn’t morbid.It’s responsible.We need to get better at dying.That means:Having the hard conversation.Writing things down.Organizing your life.Making it simple for the people left behind.You can be lighthearted about it.You can joke about your obituary photo.But you still need the folder.Put your phone down — and go start one.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I sit down with Jose to talk about something we don’t discuss enough:Your kids need to see you struggle.Not fall apart.Not spiral.Not dump your emotional processing onto them.But struggle.We talk about:Why shielding kids from every difficulty backfiresThe difference between modeling resilience and trauma-dumpingHow to let kids see you try (even when you fail)Why “protecting” them from stress can weaken themWhat emotional regulation actually looks like in real timeThe power of repair and ownershipWhy competence is built through frictionMasculinity, leadership, and modeling calm under pressureHow parents unconsciously outsource resilience to school and sportsWhy modern comfort culture is robbing kids of growthThis conversation isn’t about being dramatic.It’s about being human in front of your children.Kids don’t need perfect parents.They need to see adults doing hard things — and surviving them.If you want resilient kids, they need to watch you build resilience first.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Today we’re talking about something that’s been itching at me for years:We are not moving at the pace of childhood.We are expecting children to move at our pace — the adult pace, the productivity pace, the overstimulated world pace — and then wondering why behavior is exploding.In this episode, I unpack:Why childhood is inherently slowHow rushing creates behavioral problemsThe difference between micro pace (the hike) and macro pace (your life)Why “I don’t have time” is showing up everywhereVelcro shoes, sippy cups, and lost life skillsWhy simplifying your words changes everythingWhy repeating yourself 50 times takes longer than slowing down onceHow cooperation increases when you match their paceThe environment → behavior connectionWhy 80/20 is the real goalHow overscheduling is stealing childhoodIf your kid is:“Not listening”Melting down constantlyMoving painfully slowStruggling with life skillsOr fighting you every morningYou may not have a discipline problem.You may have a pace problem.Childhood is slow.It is curious.It is stop-and-look-at-the-ant slow.It is puddle-jumping slow.It is shoe-tying frustration slow.And when we try to override that with adult urgency, kids respond.Slow down doesn’t mean do nothing.It means simplify.It means speak less.It means meet them where they are.Try this weekend:Go on a walk.Let your child lead.Feel how uncomfortable it is.Then notice what shifts.As always — put your phone down.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin — mom of two, librarian, strength trainee — to unpack a question SO many women have:Do you actually need carbs to build muscle?After starting a barbell lifting program, Caitlin followed common strength advice to increase carbs… and quickly gained 15–20 pounds, much of it around her belly.So what happened?We break down:🍚 The truth about carbs and muscle building🧠 What “metabolic flexibility” really means🔥 Why most Americans are metabolically unhealthy🏋🏼♀️ How lifting changes the glucose equation🥩 Protein targets for women over 40⚖️ When macros help — and when they confuse you🧬 Keto, carnivore, and adaptation periods🏃♀️ Why steady-state cardio can be catabolic💪 Sprinting vs running for women in perimenopause🩺 DEXA scans, visceral fat & skinny-fat misconceptions🧘♀️ Why you must experiment with YOUR body📱 And yes… we also talk about putting your phone down and doing the hard thing (like wallpapering your kitchen)This episode is not about dogma.It’s about metabolic health, strength, and learning how to trust your own body instead of Instagram trends.If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice — this one’s for you.Brick for Phones(Save 10%)👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

I need to say this clearly:We are overdoing childhood.Valentine’s Day has turned into full-blown production value.St. Patrick’s Day requires glitter explosions.Birthdays have become competitive events.And moms are exhausted.In this episode, I unpack:Why we keep adding moreHow guilt fuels over-the-top “magic”The mental load behind holidaysWhy corporations benefit from your insecurityWhat kids actually want (hint: it’s not roses)The Atlantic study on what children prioritizeWhy dopamine-driven spectacular moments backfireHow to simplify without becoming joylessWhy a happy, regulated mother sets the emotional climateHow to find your personal “vibe” againMagic is:Free playIndependenceBeing trustedBeing seenA mom who’s presentShared kitchen momentsRiding bikesLearning to cookBeing regulated through hard emotionsMagic is not:Disposable decorationsDozens of rosesGoodie bagsOut-fabulousing your guiltThe antidote is simple:Simplify so you can feel magical in the mundane.Also in this episode:How I reset my own slump with disco music and a velvet catsuitWhy losing yourself in motherhood kills the vibeHow to bring “club you” back into the kitchenWhy your energy leads the houseA happy mother is the magic.Full stop.As always — put your phone down, rock on, and find your vibe.Join Over It, my new March ClassJoin Strength and Mobility Class👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

A mom in our community asked a question that I think a lot of parents secretly wrestle with:“Do I have to do Disney? Isn’t it a right of childhood?”In this episode, I break down why the answer is no — and why we need to rethink what vacations are actually for.We talk about:Why time off from labor is a human right — but travel is notThe difference between a vacation and travelingWhy starting young matters if you want good travelersThe mental load moms carry on family tripsWhy kid-centric vacations are often a bustOverstimulation, walking, waiting, and corporate gift shopsWhy kids don’t suddenly become grateful in magical environmentsHow expectations ruin vacationsWhy living for your next trip is a red flagThe connection between social media, boredom, and dissatisfactionWhy real life feels dull when your phone becomes your dopamine sourceHow to create magic in the mundaneYou are going to have the kid you have.You are going to have the spouse you have.You are going to have the life you have — just with more glitz.Vacations don’t fix dissatisfaction.They amplify expectations.If you’re living for your next break, it may be time to rebuild your daily life instead.As always — put your phone down and have a beautiful day.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about govern, garden, guide — especially from parents worried they already messed it up.So let’s clear the air.In this episode, I explain:Where the govern, garden, guide concept comes fromWhat “govern” really means in the 0–6 yearsWhy leadership (not control) creates safetyHow permissive parenting sneaks in — and why it feels goodWhy kids don’t trust inconsistent boundariesWhat to do if you didn’t govern earlyWhy the pendulum has to swing before it can settleHow boundaries actually work (and what they are not)Why repeating yourself erodes trustHow to stop going “psycho” as a parentWhy kids push harder when leadership is unclearHow routines, rules, and boundaries work togetherWhy it’s never too late — but it will be uncomfortableThis episode is a reminder that:Parenting isn’t about perfectionKids don’t need you to be gentle — they need you to be steadyBoundaries aren’t about control, they’re about safetyAnd leadership is an act of loveYou didn’t ruin your kid.But if you’ve been too permissive, you’re going to have to get uncomfortable for a while.That’s how trust gets rebuilt.As always — put your phone down, rock on, and have a beautiful day.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

When kids are dramatic, hurt, angry, or emotionally flooded, our instinct is often to shut it down with logic.“It’s not that bad.”“You’re fine.”“Stop overreacting.”In this episode, I explain why that backfires — and why leaning in to big feelings actually helps kids regulate faster.We talk about:How kids borrow our nervous systemsWhy minimizing emotions makes them persistThe power of exaggeration and humorHow going into your child’s emotional world brings them backWhy adult logic doesn’t work in emotional statesThe difference between leaning in vs. matching a tantrumWhen to lean in — and when to stay calm and quietHow functional freeze shows up in parentsWhy listening to too many experts disconnects us from intuitionHow leaning in builds trust, connection, and repairThis episode is a reminder that:You don’t need perfect words.You don’t need a script.And you don’t need to fix your child’s feelings.You just need to be with them.As always — put your phone down, rock on, and have a beautiful day.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Join my February Strength and Mobility ClassIf you feel exhausted, resentful, or like life is just one endless list of things to get through — this episode is for you.In this conversation, I explore why modern parents are burning out not just because life is hard — but because we’re resisting the very things that make up a life.Using the Zen concept chop wood, carry water, we talk about how the mundane tasks — dinner, laundry, dishes, routines — are not problems to solve, but realities to inhabit.We cover:Why the “finish line” is a lieHow resisting daily responsibilities creates resentmentWhy hustle and optimization are making parenting worseHow creating a vibe changes everythingWhy lighting, music, ritual, and presence matter more than outcomesHow multitasking and phone use dysregulate parents and kidsWhy single-tasking calms the nervous systemHow gratitude for the basics shifts your internal stateWhy perfectionism is a nervous system issue, not a standardHow to strip away what’s actually frying youThis episode is not about doing more.It’s about doing less fighting with your own life.The magic isn’t in the big moments.It’s in the boring stitches that hold everything together.As always — rock on, put your phone down, and thank you for being here.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Join my February Strength and Mobility ClassThis episode is me saying the quiet part out loud.If you are overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted, reactive, or feel like you’re constantly one second away from losing your shit — this is not a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a “try harder” problem.It’s a nervous system problem.And it’s everything.In this episode, I explain plainly what I’ve been circling around for a long time:I can’t give you parenting advice if your nervous system is fried. None of it will stick.We talk about:Why your kids borrow your nervous system (and what that actually means)Why co-regulation isn’t a buzzword — it’s biologyHow phones and social media are the most dysregulating force in modern parentingWhy scrolling feels relaxing but actually makes things worseThe myth that regulation is a “look” or a calm voiceWhy fake calm backfires with kidsOverstimulation, clinginess, and “up your ass” behaviorWhy boredom, slowing down, and doing less actually helpsWhat happens when parents refuse to change anything but still want reliefThe difference between gentle parenting and permissive parentingWhy this all depends — and why there is no universal solutionThis isn’t about being zen.You’re still going to lose your patience.You’re still going to yell sometimes.You’re still human.This is about stripping away what’s frying your system so you can show up grounded enough to handle the chaos.You are the expert on your child.I’m just offering a buffet.Take what works. Leave what doesn’t.As always — rock on, put your phone down, and have a beautiful day.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap! Cafe Parenting CommunityOh Crap! Potty TrainingOh Crap!

In this episode, I sit down with Katherine from Moms Off the Record for an honest, unscripted conversation about how parenting changed so drastically - and why so many parents feel overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out.This isn’t advice.It’s not a how-to.And it’s definitely not prescriptive.It’s two moms from different generations trying to understand how parenting got so complicated — and how we might loosen our grip without losing our minds.We talk about:How Gen X and Millennial parenting philosophies divergedRisk aversion, safety culture, and why kids aren’t allowed to fall anymorePlayground helicoptering and why kids end up “up our asses”The illusion that we can keep kids 100% safeHow fear, guilt, and surveillance culture fuel burnoutWhy boredom, discomfort, and small risks matterThe loss of creativity, independence, and communityLate-stage capitalism and hyper-individualized parentingWhy “core memories” are overrated and connection isn’tWe’re not trying to solve parenting.We’re trying to understand what changed - and where we still have agency.If you’ve ever felt like:Parenting shouldn’t feel this hardYou’re doing too much but don’t know how to stopYou’re exhausted by constant vigilanceOr you’re quietly wondering if we lost the plot somewhereThis conversation is for you.As always - rock on, put your phone down, and have an awesome day.Connect with Kat: https://www.instagram.com/momsofftherecordpod/👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

A few weeks ago, I woke up and realized I had aged overnight — and I don’t say that lightly.My skin looked dull, saggy, gray, and smushed, and it wasn’t bouncing back. And while I’m committed to aging naturally, the suddenness of it stopped me in my tracks.In this episode, I walk through what actually caused it — and why it surprised me.We talk about:How sugar and higher-carb eating can show up on your face fastWhy endurance activities expose nutritional blind spotsThe difference between fueling your body and numbing itWhy women need more fat, not lessHow metabolic health affects skin, energy, and moodWhy weight is a useless metric compared to vitalityWhat changed when I returned to meat, fat, and whole foodsWhy habits built in your 30s determine how aging feels laterThis episode isn’t about telling you how to eat.It’s about noticing patterns, listening to your body, and understanding that after a certain point, the bill comes due — sometimes overnight.If you’ve felt suddenly older, more tired, or less resilient, you’re not crazy.As always — put your phone down, rock on, and have an awesome day.✌🏽🧡ㅤ****You may know me as the author of Oh Crap Potty Training and Oh Crap I Have a Toddler.

When kids start repeating political talking points, it’s easy to panic — or overcorrect.In this episode, I explain why children don’t belong in national politics, how political theater creates fear and powerlessness, and why teaching kids how government works matters more than teaching them what to think.We talk about:Why politics is theater — and government is the real workThe difference between indoctrination and educationWhy kids under 8–10 shouldn’t carry political opinionsHow soundbite culture harms critical thinkingWhy local government is the safest, healthiest entry pointHow kids can testify, attend hearings, and be heardReal examples of children influencing legislationHow civic engagement builds confidence and agencyWhy community-level involvement heals polarizationThis episode is not about telling you what to believe.It’s about slowing down, going local, and giving kids empowerment instead of fear.If your child is curious about the world — this is how you guide that curiosity responsibly.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to fall out of love with our own lives.Not because they’re bad — but because we’ve been conditioned to believe that if something isn’t big, optimized, impressive, or “Instagram-worthy,” it doesn’t count.In this episode, I talk about reclaiming joy, magic, and ownership over your own experience — especially in a world that constantly tells us someone else has the answers.We explore:How expert culture disconnects us from our intuitionWhy everyday life gets minimized in favor of “legacy” and achievementThe subtle ways fear and perfectionism keep us stuckHow unfinished ideas and self-doubt fuel phone use and numbingWhy small, imperfect creative acts can be transformationalHow whimsy, play, and making your space yours can change everythingThis episode is about remembering that:Your experience counts.Your joy matters.And loving your own life — even in the mundane, even in the mess — is not selfish.It’s how we stay human.As always — rock on, have an awesome day, and put your phone down.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

A new 2025 meta-analysis on parental phone use is circulating — and the term researchers are using is technoference: the way phones interfere with parent-child relationships.In this episode, we unpack what that really means, why kids and moms alike are struggling right now, and how distracted parenting — even when it’s unintentional — affects children’s speech, emotional regulation, and connection.We also talk about why this isn’t just about kids being on devices. It’s about us — how our phones pull us out of real-time connection, disrupt mirroring, and fragment our attention in ways we don’t fully recognize until we step back.This is a long, honest conversation about:What technoference actually isWhy kids are showing up anxious, dysregulated, and speech-delayedHow phone use disrupts mirroring and emotional developmentWhy being “zoned out” is more harmful than being imperfectHow short-form content is impacting adult cognition tooWhy overstimulation feels like burnoutPractical, realistic ways to reduce phone interference without going all-or-nothingTools and boundaries that actually work (including bricking your phone, grayscale, and moving admin tasks off your phone)This episode is for parents who feel fried, overstimulated, and pulled in too many directions — and want their nervous system (and their family) back.No shame.No moral superiority.Just awareness, honesty, and a path forward.As always — put your phone down and rock on.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Every year, I share something called The Jar of Good — and every year it hits people right in the heart.In this episode, I break down how this simple tradition works, why it’s so powerful, and how it helps kids feel truly seen. But we don’t stop there. We also talk about what happens when you have multiple kids, sibling dynamics, and why a single “family jar” can sometimes backfire.We also explore a version I hadn’t considered before:✨ A Jar of Good for yourself.Because parents are brutal to themselves. We remember every mistake, every raised voice — and forget all the moments we stayed regulated, showed up, or did the hard thing anyway.This episode is about training your brain to look for the good — in your kids, in your family, and in you — and writing it down so it actually sticks.What the “Jar of Good” is and how to start oneHow to adapt it for younger kids, older kids, or shorter time framesWhy individual jars often work better than a family jarA powerful classroom version that builds empathyHow this practice can shift sibling rivalryWhy parents need their own Jar of GoodThe science and psychology behind writing things downHow focusing on the good helps you stay afloat in hard seasonsThis is simple. It’s free. And it works.Brick for Phones👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap! Cafe Parenting CommunityOh Crap! Potty TrainingOh Crap! I Have a ToddlerPaleovalley Protein SticksTherapee
Happy New Year, friends.This episode is a reset.In this solo episode, I’m talking about why I’m choosing alignment as my word for 2026—and why optimism, of all things, might be the bravest stance we can take right now. We’re living in a world wired for negativity: doom scrolling, AI overload, hot takes, bad faith arguments, and constant outrage. Our brains are being trained to look for what’s wrong.And that’s a problem—especially for our kids.I share why I’m shifting my work toward more live, human-to-human connection, why I’m pulling back from AI and over-consumption of information, and why some of my offerings (like poop withholding support) now require one-on-one help. We’re overloaded, skimming instead of understanding, and paying the price for it.I also talk about a moment with Pascal that stopped me in my tracks—how negativity is learned, practiced, and reinforced—and why we have to start modeling something different. Optimism isn’t denial. It’s not toxic positivity. It’s moral courage. It’s choosing to look for the good even when the world feels heavy.This episode is a reminder to slow down, reconnect to what’s human, and intentionally train your brain toward hope—because hope is a muscle, and it needs practice.Put your phone down.Look for the good.Rock on.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Happy New Year, friends! In this episode, I’m closing out 2025 with a big reflection on how drastically my work with parents has changed. More and more, I’m finding that parenting “strategies” don’t work—not because the strategies are wrong, but because parents are too overstretched, too exhausted, and too busy to actually implement anything.I’m talking about lifestyle overwhelm, dual-income myths, overstimulation, screen dependence, boundary fatigue, kids in diapers at age nine because parents are too tired to night-train, and why younger moms are facing pressures I didn’t even have language for until now. I also share what’s coming in the new year—including parent interviews, in-person community vibes, online classes, and a deeper focus on helping families rebuild spaciousness, simplicity, and sanity.If you’re starting the year burnt out, resentful, disorganized, or wondering how life got so loud… this episode is for you.What's Covered:😩 Parenting strategies don’t work when parents are burnt out📱 Screens, schedules, overstimulation—how modern life broke parenting capacity💵 The dual-income myth + lifestyle overwhelm❤️ Jamie’s new direction: parental life coaching + community connection🧹 Decluttering, simplifying, and creating SPACE in the new year👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend and brilliant food-nerd Erica Litzner—Montessori chef, former restaurant pro, and mom to a daughter navigating ARFID, autism, ADHD, and the very real fallout of modern food culture. We’re talking picky eating, snacking culture, dopamine, France, the USDA, how the food industry hijacked our kids’ taste buds, and why this mess is absolutely not your fault.We get into how “snack foods” were engineered to override hunger cues, why kids melt down before dinner, how blood sugar and behavior are tied together, and the radical power of feeding your kid at 3–4pm. Erica also walks through her daughter’s ARFID journey—what’s typical picky eating vs. when a child truly needs medical intervention.This episode is equal parts validating, infuriating, and freeing. If you’ve been drowning in dinner battles, snack bargaining, confusing nutrition advice, or the idea that you’re somehow failing because your kid loves Goldfish—this conversation will breathe life back into your parenting.Put your phone down.Take a breath.Let’s unfuck the food conversation.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

The podcast is really catchy - a lot of useful and interesting information about life situations that can happen to anyone. I often hear how people face financial difficulties, and I know from my own experience that asking for help in time is very important. Especially when it comes to working with debts in Russia. If someone has encountered the problem of non-payment, I advise you to familiarize yourself with how a debt collection agency in Russia works. Here is a proven resource that helped me figure it out: debt collection agency in Russia https://www.grandliga.com/debt-collection-in-russia/. The main thing is not to be afraid to look for solutions, then there will be less "oh, damn!" in life.
Just listened to this episode of Oh Crap with Jamie, and I totally agree with the pro-Minecraft stance! It’s such a great game for teaching kids problem-solving, creativity, and even coding in some cases. And the social aspect of games like Minecraft really helps kids connect when they can’t just hang out like we did. If you want to dive into the game, check it out here: https://mineacraftapk.com/. It’s a fun, educational experience wrapped in a game!
