Adult Conversation Parenting Podcast

About Adult Conversation Parenting Podcast

Based off her popular and darkly humorous social media pages, blog, and novel of the same name, author Brandy Ferner takes her love of adult conversation to the air as she spears the injustices of modern motherhood and womanhood while continuing her tradition of saying things out loud that others won't. As a lover of truth and all things dark comedy, she and special guests partake in real talk about any and everything – marriage post kids, the never-ending micromanagement of kid screen time, friendship, sex, chronic-illness, Snoop Dogg, pop culture, mental health, the revolt of the aging uterus, writing, the joke that is perimenopause, reality TV, and more. This is not a podcast with annoying life or parenting advice that has it all figured out. Instead, Adult Conversation aims to break down the façade of perfect parenting and break down the systems we're stuck in with its balanced mix of truth, wit, compassion, and validation - and can be considered a form of self-care, even if you're listening in the God-forsaken school pick-up line.

Inside a recent episode

The Overlap of ADHD and OCD

Published 11 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And I say that because I have totally been that person in the past. A phrase you're supposed to tell yourself when you're in an OCD spiral is maybe, maybe not. The OCD mind wants reassurance, but instead we're supposed to let it live in the who knows place. So if you have someone in your life with OCD, you might feel like you want to reassure them about whatever they're asking for reassurance on like, oh no, that thing won't happen. But you're supposed to not give them that validation and instead be in the who knows place with them. And the idea is that if an OCD brain stops getting reassurance, they will stop seeking it and learn that everything is okay. […]
