Freudian Sips is a podcast about brains, beverages, and other B.S. Anna and Bonnie are a mother-daughter duo who are always looking for another excuse to get together on a regular basis, drink some wine, and talk about how weird brains are. Then they decided to record themselves and put it on the internet. New episodes added biweekly.
This week, the ‘mother-daughter’ part of this podcast becomes even more relevant as Anna and Bonnie talk about parenting styles. They explain the main four types of parenting — authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, and uninvolved — as well as a few bonus styles, like helicopter parenting. They talk about what kinds of parenting styles can really help or hurt kids, and along the way, they get kinda real about their own experiences as parent and child. So listen to this episode… because we said so!

109. B(ox) F(anatic) Skinner
This week, the gals are talking about the father of operant conditioning, BF Skinner. Since he was a pretty firm atheist who didn’t believe in all that ‘free will’ jazz, he theorized that a person’s behavior is trained by a series of rewards and punishments, and he made all sorts of boxes to prove it! He made boxes for rats, boxes for babies, just so many boxes. So turn up the volume on your podcast box and let Anna and Bonnie reward you with some knowledge!

108. Purposefully Vague
Values. Goals. Meaning. It’s all part of the word cloud about ‘purpose’ that Anna and Bonnie are making to start off the new year. They talk a little about a lot of stuff, including how existential philosophy and Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy can help put our life meanings into perspective. Bonnie also gives Anna the Purpose in Life (PIL) test to see if Anna is in an existential void. So pop some champagne and settle in because the girls are back, baby!
If you would like to take the PIL test yourself and read a little more about logotherapy, check that out here: https://exploringyourmind.com/evaluating-your-purpose-in-life-the-pil-test/
