Potty Training", joins us for an uncensored conversation on what today’s parents are getting wrong (and right) about raising kids. With more than 25 years of experience working directly with families, Jamie dives deep into popular parenting styles, discipline, emotional regulation, and why the trend of “gentle parenting” can sometimes miss the mark.
We explore hot-button topics like:

Jamie also shares the essential parenting style framework of govern, garden, guide, helping parents navigate each stage of childhood in the most effective way. From the dangers of over-scheduling to the necessity of “brutal self-care” for moms, this episode is packed with unfiltered and uncensored practical wisdom, cultural critique, and encouragement for parents raising kids in today’s world.
