Podcast Overview

Join me, Jess VanderWier, a registered psychotherapist, mom of three, and founder of Nurtured First, along with my husband Scott, as we dive deep into the stories of our friends, favourite celebrities, and influential figures. In each episode, we skip the small talk and dive into vulnerable and honest conversations about topics like cycle breaking, trauma, race, mental health, parenting, sex, religion, postpartum, healing, and loss. We are glad you are here. PS: The name Robot Unicorn comes from our daughter. When we asked her what we should name the podcast, she confidently came up with this name because she loves robots, and she loves unicorns, so why not? There was something about the playfulness of the name, the confidence in her voice, and the fact that it represents that you can love two things at once that just felt right.

How To Handle Big After-School Meltdowns (REVISIT)

Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Whereas a meltdown, like there's no way through it, but through it. I was reading that often doing anything to try and resolve it other than trying to just be there for them and keep them safe and all that can actually make it worse. Exactly. So that is where it is important to notice. I don't realize that's the distinction between, okay, I learned something new now. Yeah. Like a tantrum, you can sometimes be playful and get through it. Yeah. You can maybe redirect them like, hey, let's go to this room. And they forget about it. That's not happening with a meltdown. A meltdown, only way through it is crying. […]
