We Let Our Kids Judge Our Parenting… and Didn’t Interrupt. Happy Mother’s Day!
Throwing it back to 2025! Our most listened to podcast of 2025! Interviewing our children and getting the down and dirty of our parenting!What if your kids could say anything they wanted about your parenting…and you had to just sit there and listen?
No correcting.No explaining.No defending yourself.
That’s exactly what we did.
In this episode, we sat down with our children—one who’s barely been in the world for three years… and one who’s had 21 years to form an opinion—and we asked them to tell us the truth about what it’s like to be parented by us.
And here’s the part we didn’t expect…
Some of what they said lined up.Across an 18-year age gap.
Same themes. Same feelings. Same impact.
This wasn’t a highlight reel parenting moment.It was uncomfortable.At times, it was humbling.And honestly… it was one of the most eye-opening things we’ve ever done.
Because the way we think we’re showing up as parents…is not always the way it’s experienced.
So if you’ve ever wondered:
“Am I doing this right?”
“What will my kids actually remember about me?”
Or “Would I even want to hear the answer?”
This episode is going to hit.
We didn’t coach them.We didn’t prep them.We just asked… and listened.
Here’s what they said.

Trauma Isn’t Just What Happened – It’ What Got Reinforced- A Behavior Science Look at Trauma
In this episode, we explore the hidden layers of trauma that don’t always have a clear story attached to them. We talk about how trauma can show up in unexpected ways—through anxiety, health struggles, emotional patterns, and reactions that feel “bigger than the situation.”
We dive into pre-verbal trauma and early life experiences, including a personal loss of a parent. How does the nervous system store experiences we can’t even remember? And why do some people carry emotional responses they can’t logically explain?
We also look at how trauma can be misunderstood or overlooked entirely, especially when it doesn’t fit a recognizable “event,” yet still shapes behavior, relationships, and physical well-being.
This conversation connects behavioral science, lived experience, and emotional insight to ask a difficult question: what if some of the most powerful traumas are the ones we don’t even realize we have?
A grounded, honest look at how unseen experiences continue to influence who we are—and how we begin to understand them.

Belief Without Proof. A Behavior Science Look At Religion.
Why do people believe—especially when there isn’t direct proof?
In this episode, we take a behavior science approach to one of the most powerful forces in human history: religion. Instead of debating theology, we explore the behavioral processes that may shape why people join religious groups, stay committed, and continue believing over time.
Using principles from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we break down how belief can be influenced by reinforcement, punishment, rule-governed behavior, and early childhood conditioning. We examine how belonging, identity, fear, and reward systems may all play a role in maintaining faith—even in the absence of direct evidence.
We also tackle some thought-provoking questions:
* Why do people follow religious rules without direct proof?
* Does social belonging reinforce belief?
* Can occasional “answered prayers” function like variable reinforcement?
* When does faith provide comfort—and when might it create fear?
* Is belief driven more by behavior than by evidence?
This episode isn’t about attacking religion—it’s about understanding behavior. Whether you’re deeply religious, questioning, or simply curious, this conversation challenges listeners to think differently about belief, reinforcement, and the power of social systems.
