The Secret To Happier Kids and Calmer Homes with Myriam Sandler

We can all do so much more with less. In this episode, I sit down with parenting expert and sensory play queen Myriam Sandler to talk all things Playful By Design. Myriam has all the insight about how small shifts in your home setup can lead to big changes in your family dynamic. We get into the magic of sensory play, how to set up a toy rotation to keep things fresh, and how giving your child more freedom builds their self-esteem and confidence. If you've felt overwhelmed by clutter, screen time, or just the daily chaos of parenting - this conversation is your guide to simplify, connect, and make things a whole lot more playful. With practical hacks (like how to get Sharpie off your walls) and deep wisdom about trusting your instincts, Myriam offers a refreshing, doable path to a calmer, happier home for both kids and parents. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus - sociologist, sex therapist, and communication expert - for an honest, enlightening, and fun conversation about the deeper layers of intimacy. We explore some tricky but important territory: the impact of antidepressants on libido, how and when to talk to your kids about sex, and how to get more comfortable with your own discomfort. We dive into what it really means to communicate about sex (without shutting down), how to build emotional and physical intimacy, and why "generous listening" might be the most underrated skill in relationships. This chat is packed with nuggets of wisdom and helpful words to give yourself more grace.

So excited to sit down with the one and only Hannah Brown! Ever-relatable and refreshingly honest, Hannah Brown is a former Bachelorette, bestselling author, and so much more. From the whirlwind of reality TV fame to the quiet and messy work of rediscovering herself, Hannah opens up about embracing the chaos, finding real love off camera, and channeling all of it into her writing. I also really enjoyed getting to ask her all my questions about the behind the scenes of Special Forces.

In this episode, I sit down with architect and Feng Shui expert Anjie Cho to explore the subtle yet powerful ways our homes impact how we feel, what we attract, and how we live day to day. We dive into the energetic shifts that can happen through the smallest design changes - whether it's moving a piece of furniture, clearing clutter, adding certain colors, or placing something with intention. Anjie generously explains how to create nourishing spaces that align with your goals and help you call in abundance, love, clarity, or whatever you're needing more of. From understanding the energy flow of the bedroom to why the front door matters so much, this chat is packed with wisdom and practical tips.

So excited and honored to get to interview My fertility doctor, Dr. Catha Fisher. She knows the ins and outs of my fertility journey well and is here to talk about all of it. We get into where we're at with my surrogacy process, and she shares her perspective as both my doctor and a compassionate witness to so many women's difficult journeys. We hear many stories of women navigating fertility challenges, but rarely do we hear the honest, emotional perspective of the doctors who walk alongside them through it all. I ask Dr. Fisher your questions, ones we were never taught to ask. When is the ideal time to freeze your eggs, at what point should you start looking into IVF, the real cost of IVF, the costs of surrogacy, unexplained fertility, and a lot more. Dr. Fisher shares what she remembers from working with me, and what every woman should know about her fertility, whether she's trying to conceive or simply thinking about the future. This is a topic that is obviously personal to me and so many others, and I appreciate Dr. Fisher for doing this so so much! My subscription service is now live!

Could not have loved this episode more! I sit down with Niamh McCarthy - Irish-born music industry powerhouse turned meditation guide and founder of Mindful Nation. Niamh shares her unique journey from the fast-paced world of touring around the world to becoming a calming force in the mental wellness space, helping busy people integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. She beautifully explains her view that meditation is simply awareness, and how we can all use meditation to be a remote control to our nervous systems. We talk about the power of choosing how you want to feel, the daily practice of softening your mind, how to think thoughts that feel good, and lovingly protect yourself from the noise of your own mind.

I absolutely loved getting to sit down with Caitlin Murray of Big Time Adulting - the hilarious and brutally honest voice we all need in the middle of the parenting chaos. Together, we get into what it means to parent through the madness, the exhaustion, the grief, the moments that break you open. Caitlin shares her story of navigating life when her son was diagnosed with leukemia - what it meant to show up for her kids while carrying the weight of fear and grief, and how humor became both a survival mechanism and a lifeline. This is a chat about finding grace for yourself in the mess, and laughing when crying isn't enough. Caitlin brings her signature mix of humor, honesty, and don't give a f*ck wisdom. If you feel like you're winging it (because you are), or wondered how to keep going when life throws the unthinkable your way, this one is for you. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
