Amanda Frances on RHOBH: What You Didn't See on TV
If you've been watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this is the conversation you've been waiting for. 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 actually like, what surprised her most, the moments that never made sense until she was living them, and how she learned to find her voice in a room where everyone else seemed to know the rules except her. But this episode goes way beyond Housewives. Amanda opens up about motherhood, building a wildly successful business, hiring help without guilt, navigating internet hate, and the neurodivergence journey that completely changed how she understands herself.It's one of those conversations that starts with Bravo and somehow ends up being about motherhood, identity, success, and staying true to yourself. In this episode, we cover:- What it's really like filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills- The behind-the-scenes moments Bravo fans never get to see- The surprising moment Amanda finally found her voice on the show- Mom guilt, childcare, and why asking for help feels so hard- Building a successful business while raising young kids- The truth about internet criticism, and how she protects her peace- ADHD, masking, neurodivergence, and the identity shift that changed everythingThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

She walks through EVERYTHING that has helped her surivive parenting while her husband is away and Kristin helps to unpack that guilt that so she (and so many parents) carries.We cover:- Why lowering your standards during hard seasons isn't "giving up”, it's actually helping you show up as a calmer and more present parent.- Simple ways to eliminate decision fatigue (including the meal routines that Kristin and Deena swear by).- How to make bedtime, housework, and everyday life feel a little less overwhelming when you’re solo parenting.- Why movie nights and “”no pressure” parenting deserve way less guilt than we've been taught.- The small mindset shifts that help you protect your own energy, stay regulated, and make solo parenting feel more sustainable over time.You'll walk away knowing how to make every part of solo parenting feel just a little bit lighter, learn wh lowering the bar can actually make you a more present parent, and which small routines take the pressure off when you're carrying so much on your own.

Your Hardest Parenting Questions, Answered ⭐
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 second-guessing themselves and wondering if they're getting it all wrong.We cover:- Nighttime potty training (and what's actually developmentally normal)- Whether you should ignore tantrums (spoiler: we have thoughts)- What to do when your child refuses to talk about their feelings- Why some kids completely shut down when emotions come up- Healthy ways to help kids express anger instead of stuffing it down- How to build emotional intelligence without making your child feel pressured or overwhelmed- The science behind why connection, not punishment, is what actually helps kids learn emotional regulationYou'll walk away knowing exactly what actually helps kids build emotional regulation, why anger deserves a complete rebrand, and how the way many of us were raised is still shaping the way we parent today. And we can almost guarantee there's one idea in this episode that you'll think about during your child's very next meltdown, and it'll change how you respond.Plus:Kristin and Deena discover they are complete opposites when it comes to movie theaters, sleepovers, and basically existing as humans, Deena explains why she'd happily skip every girls' trip forever, and Kristin has a surprisingly emotional realization about anger that might just change the way you think about your own emotions, too.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

The Anxiety Playbook Every Parent Needs: What Anxiety Really Is, Why Reassurance Backfires, and How Brave Kids Are Built.
Your kid won't sleep alone, melts down before soccer, refuses to order their own food, panics over mistakes, clings to you at drop-off and explodes when things feel uncertain. And every instinct in your body says, "Make it better." "Fix it." "Protect them." "Help them feel safe." But what if that's exactly where anxiety wins??In this episode, Deena unpacks one of the biggest parenting mindset shifts you'll ever make: The goal isn't to raise a kid who never feels anxious... It's to raise a kid who knows they can handle anxiety when it shows up. You'll learn why anxiety isn't actually an emotion - it's your brain's safety alarm, why anxious kids often look "difficult" instead of scared, why reassurance can accidentally make anxiety stronger, and why avoidance is anxiety's favorite fuel. This episode is your anxiety playbook. Confidence isn't something kids build before they do hard things; it's what they build because they did them. In this episode, you'll learn:- Why anxiety often shows up as perfectionism, aggression, clinginess, shutdowns, refusal or "bad behavior" - The surprising parenting habit that keeps anxiety growing - What to say instead of "you'll be fine." - How to support your kid without rescuing them - Why "supported struggle" changes the whole system - The exact mindset that builds resilience, courage, and emotional flexibility for life - How to stop anxiety from becoming your kid's identity Most importantly, you'll walk away with a completely different understanding of what anxiety is, what's happening inside your kid's brain, and how to help them build the beliefs that re-wires it all: I can handle hard things, I can feel uncomfortable and still be ok, and I can trust myself. Anxiety isn't a character flaw or personality trait; it's the brain going on high alert when it's actually safe. And once you learn how that alarm system works, you'll never see your child's behavior the same way again. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
