Author and parenting expert Jamie Glowacki expands on her book Oh Crap! Potty Training in a new podcast miniseries that takes you step by step through the often arduous but rewarding journey of teaching your kid how to take care of their business on their own.
In this episode, I’m calling out the biggest myth of the holiday season—that you can make magic or “craft core memories” for your kids. You can’t. What your child remembers isn’t the matching pajamas or perfect tree—it’s how they felt. I’ll share stories from my own childhood (poverty, oranges, and pancake dinners), and how those simple, cozy moments turned into the most meaningful memories of all. We’ll talk about letting go of consumer pressure, shopping secondhand, teaching gratitude the real way, and surviving family dinners without losing your mind. This episode is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and remember that love—not stuff—is what your kids will carry forever.

95: Prepping Your Child for Upcoming Potty Training
In this episode of Oh Crap Potty Training, we’re talking about a question that trips up so many parents: Should you tell your child ahead of time that you’re starting potty training? Some kids need a heads-up, while others will use that time to dig in their heels. And what about when your toddler says, I’ll potty train when I’m three—do you wait? (Spoiler: No.) Plus, we’ll dive into why kids get so attached to diapers and how your language around potty training can make or break the process. Let’s make this as smooth as possible—because trust me, drawn-out potty training is not the goal!

94: Good Consistency vs Bad Consistency
In this week's episode of Oh Crap Potty Training, I’m diving into something I see over and over with parents—how consistency can make or break your potty training journey (and your parenting in general). We chat about how anything done repeatedly becomes a habit, whether it’s good or bad. So if your kid is peeing on the floor every day, guess what? That’s their new normal. I’m breaking down why we sometimes let these patterns slip, how our toddlers are always watching and learning, and why you need to step into your leadership role as a parent—no asking for permission! We’ll talk about shifting from bad consistency to good consistency, and why building that solid foundation in the 0-6 years is key to everything down the road. Rock on, and let’s get you out of that pee-on-the-floor phase for good!
