In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest parenting traps—“banking behavior.” You know that thing we all do where we take our kids somewhere special, buy them a treat, and expect them to be good later? Yeah… it never works. I’ll break down why kids can’t “bank” good behavior, why gratitude doesn’t come naturally until much later, and how to manage your own expectations (especially around the holidays).I’ll also share a story about how real-life exposure—not lectures—teaches kids gratitude. From visiting soup kitchens to understanding homelessness and dementia, this one’s a heartwarming reminder that service, not guilt, builds true empathy.What to expect:🎁 What “banking behavior” is (and why it never works)🧠 Why kids can’t truly feel gratitude until later❤️ How service—not guilt—builds empathy🧩 The “magic age” when awareness begins (around 9)💬 Managing your expectations during the holidays👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Today I'm sharing a podcast that I was lucky enough to be a guest on. The information was so good I'm sharing it here. Kat and April, both seasoned parenting experts with over 15 years of experience, bring unique perspectives to the field of parenting expertise and experience. Kat emphasizes that true parenting expertise stems from practical knowledge gained from working with numerous families, valuing hands-on experience and straightforward, humorous advice, much like that of Jamie Glowacki. April, with her background in social work, shares a similar appreciation for humor and practicality, advocating for a balance between guiding and nurturing children amidst modern parenting challenges. Together, they champion an approach that prioritizes everyday enjoyment and meaningful parent-child connections over rigid, structured methods, aligning with Glowacki's emphasis on emotional intelligence and unstructured play.Timestamps:(00:02:45) "Toddler Years Made Enjoyable: Practical Parenting Solutions"(00:13:23) Parenting with Emotional Intelligence for Healthy Relationships(00:17:02) Promoting Independence Through Child Conflict Resolution(00:22:10) Encouraging Full-Body Contact Play for Children(00:25:13) Repairing Relationships Through Respectful Parenting(00:25:20) "Code Word Communication for Kids' Play"(00:35:19) Promoting Emotional Awareness and Regulation in Children(00:35:44) Embracing Emotional Authenticity in Parenting(00:43:13) Prioritizing Basic Needs for Parenting Success(00:43:14) Understanding Developmental Tantrums in Toddlers(00:46:01) Nutritious Meals for Behavioral Improvement in Children(00:53:48) Toddler Sleep Boundaries for Healthy Behavior(01:06:28) Balancing Parental Control in Busy Schedules(01:10:27) Encouraging Child-Led Play for Social Development(01:10:28) Building Strong Attachments: Parenting in Modern Times👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m talking about resentment—the kind that sneaks in when we keep saying yes to things we don’t want to do. I share a story about my son Pascal, a pile of deer meat, and how one small “dirty yes” turned into a full-blown meltdown. (Spoiler: it wasn’t really about the meat.) We’ll talk about the difference between a clean yes and a dirty yes, why women struggle with boundaries, and how people-pleasing leads to quiet rage. Whether it’s your partner, your kids, or your family during the holidays, this episode will help you spot resentment before it boils over—and teach you how to protect your energy without guilt.Timestamps:(00:00:32) "Deer Meat Trimming and Resentment Reflection"(00:04:22) Calm Down and Walk Away to Reflect(00:07:05) Bangs Dilemma: A Haircare Reflection(00:10:05) Clear Communication for Healthy Relationship Boundaries(00:14:27) Boundary Setting for Parenting Success👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the biggest problems affecting us—and our kids—right now: dopamine overload. We’ve built a world that’s too comfortable, too fast, and too easy—and it’s wrecking our motivation, focus, and happiness. From snacks and screens to constant stimulation, our brains (and our kids’ brains) are stuck in overdrive. I’ll explain what dopamine actually is (it’s not the reward—it’s the motivation), why fast dopamine leads to burnout, and what we can do to slow things down. From going analog to doing hard things, this episode is your wake-up call to start craving real life again—the messy, meaningful, slow kind.Timestamps:00:00 — Welcome + Maverick’s barking + recording chaos 🐶03:00 — Why we’re in a “comfort crisis” as humans06:15 — Jamie’s first Tough Mudder + discovering the value of struggle10:00 — Dopamine 101: what it actually is and how it works13:45 — Pleasure vs. pain balance + why we always want more17:30 — Fast dopamine vs. slow dopamine explained20:00 — How hyper-palatable foods and screens hijack the brain24:15 — The danger of early brain wiring (ages 0–5)29:00 — What happens when kids get constant “fast” dopamine hits33:30 — Addiction, food noise, and why moderation doesn’t work for everyone38:15 — The role of analog living + slowing down reward pathways43:00 — Real-life solutions: go analog, delay gratification, do hard things47:30 — Jamie’s winter hike story: “We’re built for struggle”55:00 — Parenting takeaways: slow it down, let kids struggle, simplify life59:00 — The “idle brain” and why quiet is necessary1:03:00 — Final words: “Put your phone down and rock on.” 🤘👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s taken over modern parenting—the obsession with validating everything our kids do. Somewhere along the way, we started thinking we had to be front-row cheerleaders for every kick, drawing, or math problem. But here’s the truth: that constant validation actually chips away at your child’s confidence. I share stories from my own time coaching baseball (yes, me!) and explain why kids are better without us hovering. We’ll talk about how overpraise leads to fragile self-esteem, how to shift from “good job” to meaningful feedback, and why letting your kids handle discomfort builds resilience that lasts a lifetimeTimestamps:00:00 — The “mom on her phone” parenting guilt trend02:15 — Why constant validation hurts kids’ confidence05:30 — Coaching baseball and what kids do better without parents watching07:00 — Why kids need freedom to deal with discomfort and conflict09:30 — Praise effort, not outcome — the “good job” trap11:00 — What to say instead of “I’m so proud of you”13:00 — How to help kids process accomplishments through storytelling15:30 — The danger of “you made me happy” parenting language17:00 — Teaching kids emotional boundaries — your feelings aren’t theirs18:00 — How to raise confident, grounded kids without overpraise19:00 — Final thoughts: you don’t have to validate everything they do👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I sit down with mom and content creator Tori Winstead to talk about the parenting culture we’ve built—and how something as simple as snacks reveals so much about it. We unpack the rise of “snack addiction,” instant gratification, and how we’ve turned food (and screens) into emotional pacifiers for both kids and parents. Tori shares her viral story of quitting snacks cold turkey—and what it taught her about her kids, her boundaries, and herself. We talk dopamine, distress tolerance, gentle parenting gone sideways, and why it’s okay for kids (and parents) to feel a little discomfort. This conversation connects the dots between food, tech, and the emotional overload of modern parenting—and offers a hopeful path back to simplicity, leadership, and resilience.Timestamps:00:00 — Introduction: Jamie welcomes guest mom Tori Winstead01:30 — Tori shares her story of motherhood and finding Jamie’s work04:00 — How food and parenting advice became overwhelming online06:00 — The snack culture spiral: when did parenting get so hard?08:00 — Tori’s “no-snack” experiment and her mom’s old-school wisdom10:30 — The beach story that changed Jamie’s view on food13:00 — Why modern “healthy” snacks aren’t helping our kids16:00 — Emotional eating, dopamine hits, and pacifying with food19:30 — Comparing snacks to pacifiers and iPads22:00 — The instant gratification generation of parents26:00 — What happens when kids only eat ultra-processed foods30:00 — The impact of tech and overstimulation on modern moms33:00 — The cost of gentle parenting without boundaries38:00 — Why kids need to hear “life’s not fair” again41:00 — Leadership vs. authoritarian parenting45:00 — Repairing relationships and breaking generational cycles52:00 — The power of letting kids feel hunger and discomfort54:00 — “Microdosing suffering” to build resilience in kids56:00 — Final reflections on raising kids who can deal58:00 — Jamie’s wrap-up: “Rock on, and put your phone down.”Connect with Tori on Instagram👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m calling out the biggest myth of the holiday season—that you can make magic or “craft core memories” for your kids. You can’t. What your child remembers isn’t the matching pajamas or perfect tree—it’s how they felt. I’ll share stories from my own childhood (poverty, oranges, and pancake dinners), and how those simple, cozy moments turned into the most meaningful memories of all. We’ll talk about letting go of consumer pressure, shopping secondhand, teaching gratitude the real way, and surviving family dinners without losing your mind. This episode is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and remember that love—not stuff—is what your kids will carry forever.👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m diving into why dinner has become so overcomplicated—and how you can stop worrying about it. Somewhere between Pinterest recipes, wellness trends, and the “eat the rainbow” movement, we’ve lost sight of what feeding a family actually means. I’ll walk you through my recent food experiment (yes, it involves potatoes, rice, and butter), what I learned about nutrition tracking, and why simple meals—like what we ate in the 70s—are often the healthiest. We’ll talk macros, metabolism, and why variety isn’t always your friend. If you’re tired of feeling guilty about dinner or burnt out from trying to make it “interesting,” this episode will remind you that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be good.Timestamps:00:00 — Jamie’s late-day recording + dog chaos 02:15 — Why dinner has become way too complicated05:00 — The myth of needing “new” meals every night07:30 — Jamie’s food experiment: meat, fat, and glucose balance10:45 — How overcomplicating food wrecks our sanity14:00 — Simple 1970s-style plates: protein, starch, veg17:15 — Why the government ruined dinner in the 1980s (hello, food pyramid)21:00 — Eat local and seasonal — not imported “superfoods”26:45 — Tracking macros, understanding fat and carbs for real life30:15 — The shocking truth about how simple meals hit your nutritional needs35:00 — Why ditching variety might be the key to better health39:00 — Final thoughts: food, family, and making life easier again41:00 — Jamie’s sign-off: “Put your phone down.” 👉 Sign up for my newsletterJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this bite-sized Oh Crap with Jamie episode, I’m sharing my favorite new year mindset shift: the 26 Before 26 Challenge—a simple way to wrap up the year with intention, calm, and a sense of control. We’ll talk about why “being in control” isn’t the dirty word it’s made out to be, how to reclaim your power in parenting and life, and what it really means to lead your home with sturdiness, decisiveness, and grace.From redefining “control” to finishing the year with lightness instead of chaos, this one’s a mix of reflection, encouragement, and practical wisdom for every parent who’s ready to stop feeling like life’s just happening to them.Timestamps:00:00 — The “26 Before 26” Challenge explained02:45 — Picking your guiding words for the new year06:30 — Why feeling “in control” isn’t a bad thing09:15 — Redefining control: potency, leadership, and decisiveness13:00 — How this mindset shift impacts parenting15:45 — The power of finishing the year light and intentionalJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m talking about one of those behaviors that makes every parent’s blood boil—spitting—and what it really means when your kid does it. Whether it’s silly toddler raspberries or full-on disrespect, spitting (and other physical behaviors like hitting, biting, and jumping on furniture) are never random. I’ll walk you through how to identify what’s underneath the behavior—attention-seeking, anger, sensory needs, or boundary-testing—and what to actually do about it. From setting consistent limits to adding more physical play and heavy work, this one’s packed with practical, no-BS tools to get your sanity back and your kid regulated.Timestamps:00:00 — Welcome + Jamie’s tech fails & cashmere sweater story02:00 — Hair disasters & leaning into imperfection04:15 — What we’re really talking about today: spitting06:00 — The different types of spitting (silly, reactionary, disrespectful)08:45 — Why spitting feels so triggering to parents10:15 — Breaking down the reasons kids spit12:30 — Getting a reaction vs. attention-seeking vs. sensory needs17:00 — Disrespectful spitting and boundary breakdowns20:30 — How to identify patterns in behavior (time, place, people)25:45 — Understanding sensory needs and emotional release29:00 — The importance of physical outlets (heavy work, movement)33:30 — How to respond: overreacting vs. calm consistency37:15 — Setting limits & consequences without over-processing emotions42:00 — Addressing the need before the consequence44:15 — Why kids need more physical exertion than schools allow48:00 — Final thoughts + Jamie’s classic “put your phone down” sign-offJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this reflective Oh Crap with Jamie episode, Jamie shares a heartfelt reminder that this is all we get. From hiking challenges to motherhood moments to the stories that shape our lives, she explores why we make things harder than they need to be—and how to shift toward ease, presence, and joy.Jamie opens up about the lessons she learned from her mom’s passing, the power of simplicity, and the importance of finding meaning in everyday life.

In this episode, I sit down with Ali Stalwood, known as Wildly Ginger on Instagram, to talk about something every parent craves but struggles to find — community. After moving back home to Pennsylvania, Ali realized that waiting for a “village” wasn’t working… so she built one. What started as a simple dinner rotation between families turned into a thriving support system built on shared meals, honesty, and a “work it out” mindset. We dive into how she and her friends created sustainable connection (without perfection), what it really takes to show up for each other, and how to get comfortable being seen — mess and all. If you’ve ever wished for more help, more laughter, or just a friend who’ll fold laundry with you, this episode will remind you that it’s not too late to build your own village.Timestamps:(00:05:38) Joyful Connections Through Weekly Shared Meals(00:12:31) Collaborative Cooking Schedule Promotes Community Bonding(00:18:20) Fostering Community Engagement Through Inclusive Parenting(00:21:20) Community-Centered Five-Dollar Backyard Celebrations(00:25:06) Bonding Through Shared Household Chores(00:31:45) Community Connection through Shared Religious Values(00:38:08) Embracing Imperfections for Stronger Community Bonds(00:40:37) Fostering Genuine Support Through Offering HelpConnect with Ali: https://www.instagram.com/wildly_ginger/Jamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about something that’s been bugging me for a while—how we’ve forgotten that our kids and our homes are actually our jobs. Somewhere along the line, we started treating family life like an afterthought—whatever scraps of energy we have left after work, errands, and endless to-dos. But what if we reframed it? What if we treated home and family like the meaningful, skillful work it is? In this episode, I share the mindset shift that completely changed how I approach my own home, why exhaustion isn’t always inevitable, and how to apply your leadership and management skills to the family front. Whether you work outside the home, stay home full-time, or juggle both, this is your reminder that running a household takes intention, not perfection—and when you treat it like a job you love, everything gets lighter.Timestamps:(00:02:42) "Parenting: A Daily Marathon of Demands"(00:09:24) Applying Leadership Skills in Family Life(00:11:18) Parenting Challenges: Juggling Boundaries and ResponsibilitiesJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest modern parenting struggles—how to feed your family real food without cooking every single night. It’s not about meal plans or Pinterest-perfect prep days—it’s about creating systems that work in real life. I’m sharing how to think like our grandmothers did: stretch meals, simplify ingredients, and ditch the guilt around not being a “foodie.” You’ll learn how to make dinner easier through batch cooking basics, simple proteins, freezing tricks, and realistic expectations. We’ll also talk about picky eating, the generational gap in cooking skills, and why nourishing your family doesn’t mean you have to spend your entire weekend in the kitchen. This one’s part tough love, part practical guidance—and 100% permission to simplify.Timestamps:(00:06:51) Nourishing Meals: Moms' Impact on Family Health(00:11:33) Nutritious Choices: Reversing Health Decline Through Food(00:13:54) Efficient Meal Planning with Batch Cooking(00:17:30) Versatile Meal Planning with Roasted Chicken(00:18:39) Balanced Meal Prep with Basic Ingredients(00:21:30) Spicing Up Meals for Variety and Satisfaction(00:34:03) Nutrition-Based Boundaries for Picky Eating Prevention(00:39:34) Mealtime Strategies for Picky EatersEpisode 94Join my newsletter list!Jamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m tackling a big one—what I call tiny dictators. You know the type: the kid who decides who sits where, who can talk, or which parent is “allowed” in the bathroom. When I hear a parent say, “My child won’t let me…,” I know we’re already in trouble. Kids are hardwired to want control, but when we hand over the wheel, it makes them feel unsafe and chaotic. In this episode, I’ll walk you through why “keeping the peace” by giving in always backfires, how to reclaim your authority (without guilt), and why chores—not choices—are the secret to helping kids feel capable and connected. If you’ve got a little boss running your household, this is your permission slip to take back control—lovingly, firmly, and today.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Preventing Children from Becoming Tiny Dictators(00:00:47) Preventing Household Disruptions: Establishing Parental Authority(00:05:06) Empowering Children Through Setting BoundariesJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood parts of parenting—the toddler tantrum. What’s developmentally normal? What’s not? And why do some kids melt down over a peeled banana while others roll with it? I’m walking you through the four big triggers that cause tantrums (hungry, tired, overstimulated, and loss of control) and which of those you can actually do something about. From the truth about “hangry” kids and snack culture, to overtired toddlers, overstimulation, and the importance of autonomy, I’ll help you build a strong foundation for the zero-to-six years. Because when you get these four things right, you don’t just prevent tantrums—you create a calmer, more connected home.Timestamps:(00:00:47) Identifying Triggers and Responses to Emotional Outbursts(00:11:56) Nourishing Snacks for Children's Well-Being(00:14:57) Early Bedtime Impacts Child's Cognitive Development(00:21:18) Preventing Overstimulation Through Calm Environments(00:26:25) Soul-Nourishing Activities for ParentsJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m sharing some simple solutions for those middle-of-the-night kid struggles—growing pains, restless legs, and even the start of night terrors. We’ve all been there: your child is finally drifting off and suddenly their legs are twitching, cramping, or they’re up screaming in pain. I’ll walk you through what might be going on (from magnesium loss to plain old overtiredness), and the easy remedies that have worked wonders in my own home. From magnesium sprays and chamomile tinctures to Calms Forte and Rescue Remedy, these are gentle, safe supports that can help your child settle and finally get some rest. Because let’s be real—a good night’s sleep for them means a good night’s sleep for you, too.Timestamps:(00:01:40) Essential Magnesium Supplementation for Children(00:04:36) Magnesium Deficiency and Restless Legs in Kids(00:05:23) Calming Herbal Remedies for Children's RelaxationRollon Magnesium: https://a.co/d/daovH2FChamomille Tincture: https://a.co/d/iATjCEYRescue Remedy: https://a.co/d/2Gl4FAkJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

This week I’m diving into a hot-button October topic: Halloween candy, picky eating, and the myth that food is “neutral.” Everywhere I look, I see advice about making candy an everyday side dish so kids won’t care about it come Halloween. And you guys—I can’t even. Candy is supposed to be a big deal! It’s a treat, not dinner. In this episode, I unpack why serving candy at every meal backfires, how processed “snacky snacks” set kids up for picky eating, and why nourishing food matters way more than organic labels or Instagram trends. Plus, I’m giving you permission to bow out of Halloween (or any tradition) if it doesn’t bring you joy. This one’s part rant, part reality check, and hopefully a big exhale for parents who feel stuck in the food wars.Timestamps:(00:01:58) Navigating Halloween Candy Consumption with Picky Eaters(00:03:12) The Dangers of Making Food Neutral(00:07:38) Nutritional Value Beyond Organic Labeling(00:11:34) Empowering Children to Make Informed Food Choices(00:17:33) Whipped Cream Brand Fixation in Children(00:20:58) Parenting Challenges: Navigating Social Media PressuresJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about one of the most sanity-sucking habits kids have: interrupting. You know the drill—you finally sit down for a conversation with another adult, and boom, your kid is right there, cutting in with something that definitely could have waited. I’ll share why letting kids constantly interrupt actually creates clingy behavior, how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, and the simple little trick I taught Pascal when he was three that he still remembers at nineteen. Spoiler: it’ll save your sanity, help you finish a sentence, and make people think you’re raising the politest kid on the block.Timestamps:(00:00:39) Respectfully Managing Child Interruptions in Conversations(00:00:39) Teaching Respectful Interruption Etiquette to Children(00:04:06) Respecting Turn-Taking: Child's Arm Signal MethodJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

In this episode, I’m unpacking something I’ve been seeing everywhere lately: the rush to slap a diagnosis on our kids when it might actually just be temperament. Don’t get me wrong—diagnoses can be life-changing and absolutely necessary. But not every shy kid is “on the spectrum,” not every focused moment is “ADHD hyperfocus,” and not every earworm means your brain is broken. I’m breaking down the four classic temperaments, what research says about temperament vs. personality, and how parenting mismatches (your temperament vs. your child’s) can make things look “off” when they’re really not. This one is part rant, part reality check, and 100% a call to give our kids room to be who they are—without rushing to pathologize them.Timestamps:(00:01:02) Temperament-based Understanding of Children's Behaviors(00:13:19) Innate Traits vs. Environmental Influence in Children(00:19:39) Understanding Children's Temperamental Traits for Parenting(00:20:49) Mood Mismatch Impacts on Parent-Child Interactions(00:21:18) Temperament Clash: Parent-Child Relationship Dynamics(00:27:21) Temperament Alignment for Parent-Child Harmony(00:40:29) Temperament Balancing for Social Harmony and ConnectionJamie'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!
