Episode 33 of The Health Exchange Podcast dives into the realities of parenting from the perspective of both a physician and a parent, with guest Dr. Lori Livingston, a pediatrician who blends medical expertise with personal experience. She and Dr. Rutland discuss common challenges parents face—including sleep deprivation, breastfeeding struggles, and managing children’s behavior—and why empathy is just as important as clinical advice. The conversation covers practical strategies for sleep training, navigating parental guilt, building a supportive “village,” and reframing discipline as an opportunity to teach rather than punish. Drawing on her own journey and favorite parenting resources, Dr. Livingston offers reassurance that there’s no single “right” way to parent, and that mistakes, when met with repair, can actually strengthen the parent-child relationship.
