In this episode, Ryan McFarland founder of Striker Bikes shares how young kids can learn to ride bikes by starting on a balance bike. They can begin even before they can start to walk! With early exposure to a balance bike, kids learn the basics of balance, coordination, and gross motor skills but also gain other benefits that help with speech development, behavioral challenges, growth in social skills, and promote a physically active lifestyle.
This conversation will inspire you to get your child on a balance bike as soon as possible if they aren't already!
Highlights from this episode:
The inspiration behind Strider Bikes The evolution of bicycling The rocking bike is safer than a rocking horse Why you need to ditch the training wheels How to convert your child’s bike to a balance bike How to properly introduce a pedal bike The incredible benefits of biking The Strider bike program for schools Scooters vs. balance bikes How to use a Strider bikeShow sponsors:

I'm thrilled to have Nita Sharda on the show, the co-founder of Happy Healthy Eaters, a digital platform and community that supports parents to feed their children from a place of trust and confidence and none of the fear and judgment.

In this episode, we get into what it's like to feed toddlers, how to help them navigate picky eating, how to create food resiliency, and how to reverse selective ways of eating that aren’t ideal. We also talk about the right things to say and not say at the dinner table, what to offer at the table, and how to approach it positively while still nourishing them.
Nita shares tonnes of helpful tips and you are going to learn so much in this episode.
Highlights from this episode:

In this episode, I am chatting with Meredith Ethington (@perfectpending), an award-winning writer and author of the book Mom Life and her most recent book, The Mother Load. Meredith helps to normalize how hard parenting can be whether you are in your newborn days or dealing with toddler tantrums or feisty teens. Often moms don’t feel safe to talk about their struggles, and Meredith helps shed light on what is not talked about enough.
We dive deep into the transition of becoming a parent overnight (without a manual), balancing the impact social media can pose on the reality of motherhood, how to find ways to regulate ourselves and our children, and how "mom brain” is a real thing! If you are ready to take the pressure off, feel heard, and relate to other moms then you don’t want to miss this empowering conversation.
Highlights from this episode:
The truth about motherhood It’s ok to have different parenting styles How Meredith embraced imperfection Letting go of unrealistic mom expectations A child’s personality can clash with yours The “good enough mother” theory What postpartum anxiety & depression looks like Talk to your kids about mental health Toxic positivity and social media Mom brain is real The importance of self-careShow sponsors:

This interview couldn’t be coming out at a better time when toddler meltdowns and tantrums have the potential to be at their peak over the holidays. With late nights, more sugar than usual, overstimulation, and just the excitement of the holidays.

We are now on the other side of this exciting milestone, as our 3-year-old daughter is now potty trained. It wasn’t and (still) isn’t a linear process. We did so many things to encourage her to use the potty and so many things we didn’t do that are "typically" recommended. We ultimately followed her lead and our gut instincts and have no regrets about our approach.
I am excited to share what this looked like for us and provide helpful tips and insights to guide you on your potty training journey.
