After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

A listener favorite, back by popular demand! This conversation feels more relevant than ever. We're revisiting one of our most important episodes about raising boys and the small, science-backed things we can do today to shape the men they'll become. Because how we raise our boys today matters for the world they'll help shape tomorrow.

If you’re raising a boy, this episode will light a fire in you - in the best, most empowerin...

Have you ever spent your entire life feeling like you're too much, too sensitive, too scattered, too difficult, or just somehow failing at things that seem SO easy for everyone else? Or maybe you're raising a child who hears those exact same things. This episode will completely change the way you see yourself AND your child.

Today, fan favorite, my husband Tyler (VP Hype Squad) is joining me for one of our most personal conversation...

Everyone’s Bravo husband is in the house: CRAIG CONOVER. We can’t believe AND we get into ALL. OF. IT. Southern Charm. Austen. Shep. The breakup. Growing up on reality TV. Because we’ve basically watched Craig grow up in real time.

We watched him party, get dragged for sewing, navigate ADHD, build a business, fall in love, go through a VERY public breakup, change his relationship with alcohol, and eventually realiz...

You can be wildly self-aware, deeply loving, in therapy, reading all the books, trying your absolute hardest - and still turn into a completely different person the second your relationship gets hard.

Maybe you start explaining yourself, clarifying and clarifying. Or, maybe you shut down and can’t find a single word. Maybe you need to fix it RIGHT NOW while your partner needs hours, or days, to process and be ready to talk abo...

You walk into a room and have absolutely no idea why you’re there. You can’t find the word you were JUST about to say. You’re exhausted, foggy, forgetful - and everyone tells you: welcome to motherhood.

But… what if we stopped brushing all of it off??

Today, Deena sits down with Emma Heming Willis and clinical psychologist Dr. Nicole Beurkens from Make Time Wellness for a fascinating (and refreshingly non-doo...

Would you let your kid wear pajamas to school? Forget their homework and face the consequences? Tell Grandma they don’t want a hug? Quit a sport halfway through the season? Eat candy for breakfast? You probably have an immediate answer to at least a few of those. But here’s where it gets interesting: What if the parenting “rule” you’re following is actually making things harder for your kid… and...

If you watched Amanda Kloots during the early days of COVID, you probably remember her story. Her husband, Nick Cordero, spent 95 days in the hospital before dying from complications of COVID-19. Their son, Elvis, had just turned one. And Amanda was suddenly living a life she never, ever imagined for herself.

But this conversation isn't just about what Amanda lost. It's about everything that comes after.

Six years later, Amanda sits ...

Our last Q&A became our MOST-LISTENED-TO episode, so Besties: WE’RE BACK. You sent us your hardest parenting questions, and once again, we’re answering them all. Your kid was doing GREAT, and then school started and suddenly they’re melting down, fighting everything, and acting like a completely different person. Your three-year-old has turned absolutely feral since the new baby arrived. And what do you do whe...

If your kid has ever looked you directly in the eyes and lied, even when you KNOW they know that you know the truth…you probably know the immediate panic spiral:

Why are they lying to me? Is this normal? Can I trust them? If they're doing this at five, what happens when they're FIFTEEN?!

And suddenly, this isn't about who ate the cookie or knocked over the toy, you're imagining your teenager lying about where they are, who the...

If you've ever worried that loving your kid too much, supporting them too much, or NOT giving them enough "tough love" is going to leave them completely unprepared for the real world, you need to hear this episode.

Because Billy Eichner’s story might be the best evidence I've ever seen that the opposite of "tough love" is what actually makes a kid strong.

Billy's parents loved the absolute hell out of him. They celebrated exact...

File this under: things we genuinely did not realize we needed to know as parents. 🙃

Our kids spend SO MUCH of their lives sleeping, but… have you ever actually thought about what their mattress is made of? Yeah. Neither had we.

Today we’re joined by Arin Schultz, Chief Growth Officer at Naturepedic and dad of four, to pull back the curtain on mattresses: what can actually be inside them, why certain materials are worth...

What if the most important thing you ever teach your child isn't a parenting strategy... it's a belief they'll carry for the rest of their life?

Someday our children are going to get their heart broken, they'll fail, They'll wonder if they're enough, they'll navigate in tricky relationships, they'll be choosing career paths. And in those moments, they won't remember your lecture about cleaning their room, but they will remember what...

Amanda Frances joins us fresh off her first season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to pull back the curtain on what it was really like stepping into one of the biggest reality shows on TV with no strategy, no Bravo game plan, and honestly... no idea what she was getting herself into.

We talk about what filming is a...

Some seasons of parenting just ask more of you. Maybe your partner travels or works nights. Maybe you’re simply carrying more than your fair share right now and navigating a period where you're parenting solo. Whatever your reality is, this episode is for you!

Deena, who is in this season of life right now, gets real about what it's actually like parenting three kids while her husband is away nearly half the month. There&rsquo...

Why does your child completely shut down anytime you bring up feelings? Should you actually ignore tantrums... or is that some of the worst parenting advice we've been given? And if your child is potty trained during the day but still having accidents at night... is something wrong?

In this Q&A episode, we're answering the parenting questions we hear over and over again—the ones that leave even thoughtful, loving parents s...

If your house sounds like a WWE match in a bounce house all summer long... this episode is for you. The arguing. The tattling. The screaming from the other room. The constant feeling that you've spent the last three hours breaking up fights and saying, "GUYS. PLEASE. JUST STOP." Most parents think sibling fighting means something is wrong. What if it's actually one of the most important relationships your child will ever have?

In th...
