- 311. Play is the work of childhood. from Oh Crap with Jamie
20 min
True child-led play is the child's choice, they make the rules, and they can leave when they want. It is NOT adult-led, adult-supervised sports or activities. It's vital for vestibular and proprioceptive inputs and it's an agent for regulation of the nervous system. For MOMS TOO. Move your body, lift heavy things, and move the energy.The categories of movement: Crawling & Cross-BodyWeight Bearing Through Hands & Shoulders, Jumping & LandingBalance & Core, Climbing, Hanging & Pulling, Throwing & CatchingSpinning & Vestibular, Heavy Work happy mom potty training chat If motherhood is making you overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burnt tf out, I can help.

- 310: We fix ourselves and the environment, not the child. from Oh Crap with Jamie
13 min
It's so easy to think our kids need fixing....but it's almost always an US problem or an environment problem. Most parenting "scripts" don't work because they're attempting to fix the child. Behavior is always communication and it's our job to translate that. If motherhood is making you overwhelmed, overstimulated, and burnt tf out, I can help.

- 309: When Talk Therapy Isn't Cutting It from Oh Crap with Jamie
28 min
After taking a pause from the podcast, Jamie is back — not because of the algorithm, consistency pressure, or content treadmill… but because she finally had something she genuinely needed to say. This episode starts with a reflection on stepping away from content creation and the overwhelming response from listeners whose lives were impacted by the podcast. But it quickly evolves into something much deeper: A conversation about trauma, therapy, motherhood, somatic healing, lineage, and what happens when women stop shrinking themselves. Jamie explores: Why talk therapy can sometimes keep us stuck in the story of our trauma instead of helping us move through it The difference between pathology and mythology Somatic healing, movement, and releasing emotions through the body Why parenting often activates unresolved childhood wounds The challenge of healing while actively raising children How women are conditioned to suppress powerful emotions and “stay calm” at all costs Community, maternal energy, and the need for real connection What it means to reclaim space, power, and feminine energy Jamie also shares a deeply personal experience involving movement, dance, grief release, ancestral reflection, and a moment that shifted something profound inside of her. This isn’t an episode about parenting tactics. It’s about: The stories we inherit The stories we tell ourselves And the possibility of rewriting them If you’ve been feeling emotionally stuck, disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by motherhood, or exhausted from overanalyzing your healing journey… this conversation may resonate deeply.
- 308: I’m Pausing the Podcast (And Here’s Why) from Oh Crap with Jamie
11 min
This episode is a little different. It’s a personal update — and an honest look at where I am in my work right now. Over the past few months, I’ve been feeling something I can’t ignore anymore: This one-way conversation isn’t working for me. In this episode, I share: Why I’ve been skipping podcast episodes My recent hearing loss and tinnitus diagnosis Why content creation has started to feel draining The emotional toll of online criticism and “feedback” Why social media isn’t built for real conversation The problem with parasocial relationships Why I don’t want to monetize with ads And why I’m choosing to pause the podcast (for now) But this isn’t just about what I’m stepping away from. It’s about what I’m moving toward. After hosting live classes and group calls recently, something became really clear: I don’t want to talk at you anymore. I want to talk with you. So I’m shifting my work toward: More real-time conversations Live Zoom calls and community discussions A new membership space: Managing Modern Motherhood More intentional, sustainable content (including YouTube) This is a pivot. Not an ending — but a recalibration. If you’ve been here for a while, I appreciate you deeply. And if you’re coming along for what’s next… I’m really excited about where this is going. As always — put your phone down, and rock on. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap! Cafe Parenting Community Oh Crap! Potty Training Oh Crap!

- 307: The Capability Crisis (And Why Your Kid Can’t Do Basic Things) from Oh Crap with Jamie
8 min
We’re in the middle of what many are calling a capability crisis. Kids are struggling to do basic things — not because they can’t… but because they haven’t been taught how. In this episode, Jamie introduces the concept of scaffolding — the process of gradually building skills over time, starting much earlier than most parents think. Because here’s the truth: Kids don’t magically wake up at age 9 knowing how to clean, cook, or take responsibility. Those skills are built slowly — beginning as early as 18–24 months. But many parents unintentionally delay this process by: Doing everything for their kids Rushing through tasks instead of letting them help Avoiding mess, frustration, or inconvenience Underestimating what their kids are capable of And over time, that creates dependency instead of independence. In this episode, Jamie breaks down: What scaffolding actually looks like in real life Why toddlers saying “I help!” is a critical moment How helping too much sends the wrong message Why struggle is necessary for self-esteem How to introduce responsibility in age-appropriate ways Why it’s never about perfection — it’s about participation If you want your kids to grow into capable, confident humans… this episode will shift how you think about parenting. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 305: Youth Sports Have Become a Billion-Dollar Pressure Cooker from Oh Crap with Jamie
1 hr 2 min
Youth sports used to be simple. Kids played with neighborhood friends, parents volunteered as coaches, and the goal was just to have fun. But today? Youth sports have become a multi-billion-dollar industry , and parents are under enormous pressure to keep up. Private coaching. Travel teams. Year-round specialization. Endless tournaments. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jonathan Carone from Healthy Sports Parents to talk about how youth sports got so intense — and what parents can do to bring some sanity back into the experience. Jonathan shares how a viral video about toxic sports parenting launched his platform and why he believes most parents truly want to do better… they’ve just never been shown how. Together they discuss: How youth sports evolved into a billion-dollar industry The pressure parents feel to keep up with travel teams and private lessons Why kids today feel more pressure than previous generations The myth of the college scholarship dream How parents accidentally turn sports into a high-stress experience Why kids are quitting sports earlier than ever The importance of letting kids fail and develop intrinsic motivation Why travel sports can either strengthen families… or break them apart A healthier way to approach youth sports and athletic development This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating the increasingly intense world of youth athletics. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 304: Kids’ Crap... How to Control Toy Clutter Without Losing Your Mind from Oh Crap with Jamie
23 min
Kids collect stuff. Toys. Trinkets. Goody bag junk. Happy Meal prizes. Endless artwork. And before you know it, your house is overflowing. In this episode, Jamie tackles a question parents ask all the time: What do we do with all the kids’ stuff? From toy overload to random plastic junk to piles of artwork, she shares practical strategies to keep your home manageable without constant battles. Jamie explains why modern families often have more clutter than ever before and how bigger homes and more storage can actually make the problem worse. She also shares simple systems that actually work for managing toys and kids’ belongings. In this episode, Jamie covers: Why kids don’t actually need many toys The toy rotation system that reduces overwhelm How overconsumption affects kids’ play Why bigger homes often create more clutter What to do with cheap “junk toys” that multiply overnight Teaching kids to make decisions about their belongings The difference between art and crafts What kids’ artwork is actually worth saving Creative ways to preserve artwork without storing piles Why decluttering kids’ stuff matters for your mental load The goal isn’t perfection. It’s creating a home that feels manageable, calm, and functional for everyone. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap! Cafe Parenting Community Oh Crap! Potty Training Oh Crap!

- 303: No, You Can't Have It All from Oh Crap with Jamie
1 hr 6 min
Millennial moms were told they could be anything. Doctor. Lawyer. Entrepreneur. Founder. But no one mentioned the other two full-time jobs: Raising children Running a household In this episode, Jamie sits down with Katherine to talk about the generational messaging that shaped modern motherhood — and why so many parents feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like they’re somehow failing. Jamie brings the Gen X perspective, raised by boomers and depression-era grandparents. Katherine brings the millennial perspective — a generation raised to believe they should excel professionally while also building a perfect home life. And the reality? Something had to give. In this conversation, they unpack: The generational messaging millennial women grew up with The pressure to “be the best” at everything Why motherhood was treated like a side note to career success How parenting expectations have changed across generations Why so many modern parents feel like they’re drowning The cultural differences around motherhood in the U.S. vs Europe The unrealistic expectations placed on modern families What actually needs to change This episode is an honest look at the impossible standard placed on modern mothers — and why it's time to rethink what success actually looks like. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 302: What’s in My Death Folder (And Why You Need One) from Oh Crap with Jamie
18 min
Brick for Phones (Save 10%) If I die in a blizzard… does my kid know where the folder is? That’s not anxiety. That’s logistics. In this episode, I’m talking about something we are terrible at as a society: Preparing for death. Not in a morbid way. Not in a fearful way. In a practical way. Because if you’ve ever lost someone close to you, you know: The week after someone dies is chaos. Paperwork. Phone calls. Passwords. Decisions. Funeral arrangements. Assets. Access. All while actively grieving. In this episode I cover: Why every parent needs a will (even if you “don’t have assets”) Choosing guardians and putting it in writing Why passwords are everything What’s actually in my “death folder” Trusts, beneficiaries, and pour-over wills Making funeral decisions in advance Why I update my obituary photo Why you need access to your spouse’s financial info Why you should sit down with aging parents now How decline can happen fast Why strength training matters as we age How to make it easy on the living This episode isn’t morbid. It’s responsible. We need to get better at dying. That means: Having the hard conversation. Writing things down. Organizing your life. Making it simple for the people left behind. You can be lighthearted about it. You can joke about your obituary photo. But you still need the folder. Put your phone down — and go start one. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 301: Why Your Kids Need to See You Struggle (Modeling Hard Things) from Oh Crap with Jamie
48 min
In this episode, I sit down with Jose to talk about something we don’t discuss enough: Your kids need to see you struggle. Not fall apart. Not spiral. Not dump your emotional processing onto them. But struggle. We talk about: Why shielding kids from every difficulty backfires The difference between modeling resilience and trauma-dumping How to let kids see you try (even when you fail) Why “protecting” them from stress can weaken them What emotional regulation actually looks like in real time The power of repair and ownership Why competence is built through friction Masculinity, leadership, and modeling calm under pressure How parents unconsciously outsource resilience to school and sports Why modern comfort culture is robbing kids of growth This conversation isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about being human in front of your children. Kids don’t need perfect parents. They need to see adults doing hard things — and surviving them. If you want resilient kids, they need to watch you build resilience first. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap! Cafe Parenting Community Oh Crap! Potty Training Oh Crap!

- 300: The Pace of Childhood (And Why You’re Rushing It) from Oh Crap with Jamie
17 min
Today we’re talking about something that’s been itching at me for years: We are not moving at the pace of childhood. We are expecting children to move at our pace — the adult pace, the productivity pace, the overstimulated world pace — and then wondering why behavior is exploding. In this episode, I unpack: Why childhood is inherently slow How rushing creates behavioral problems The difference between micro pace (the hike) and macro pace (your life) Why “I don’t have time” is showing up everywhere Velcro shoes, sippy cups, and lost life skills Why simplifying your words changes everything Why repeating yourself 50 times takes longer than slowing down once How cooperation increases when you match their pace The environment → behavior connection Why 80/20 is the real goal How overscheduling is stealing childhood If your kid is: “Not listening” Melting down constantly Moving painfully slow Struggling with life skills Or fighting you every morning You may not have a discipline problem. You may have a pace problem. Childhood is slow. It is curious. It is stop-and-look-at-the-ant slow. It is puddle-jumping slow. It is shoe-tying frustration slow. And when we try to override that with adult urgency, kids respond. Slow down doesn’t mean do nothing. It means simplify. It means speak less. It means meet them where they are. Try this weekend: Go on a walk. Let your child lead. Feel how uncomfortable it is. Then notice what shifts. As always — put your phone down. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 299: Do You Need Carbs to Build Muscle? (Lifting, Metabolic Health & Metabolic Flexibility) from Oh Crap with Jamie
51 min
In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin — mom of two, librarian, strength trainee — to unpack a question SO many women have: Do you actually need carbs to build muscle? After starting a barbell lifting program, Caitlin followed common strength advice to increase carbs… and quickly gained 15–20 pounds, much of it around her belly. So what happened? We break down: 🍚 The truth about carbs and muscle building 🧠 What “metabolic flexibility” really means 🔥 Why most Americans are metabolically unhealthy 🏋🏼♀️ How lifting changes the glucose equation 🥩 Protein targets for women over 40 ⚖️ When macros help — and when they confuse you 🧬 Keto, carnivore, and adaptation periods 🏃♀️ Why steady-state cardio can be catabolic 💪 Sprinting vs running for women in perimenopause 🩺 DEXA scans, visceral fat & skinny-fat misconceptions 🧘♀️ Why you must experiment with YOUR body 📱 And yes… we also talk about putting your phone down and doing the hard thing (like wallpapering your kitchen) This episode is not about dogma. It’s about metabolic health, strength, and learning how to trust your own body instead of Instagram trends. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice — this one’s for you.

- 298: Making Childhood Magical (Without Burning Yourself Out) from Oh Crap with Jamie
19 min
I need to say this clearly: We are overdoing childhood. Valentine’s Day has turned into full-blown production value. St. Patrick’s Day requires glitter explosions. Birthdays have become competitive events. And moms are exhausted. In this episode, I unpack: Why we keep adding more How guilt fuels over-the-top “magic” The mental load behind holidays Why corporations benefit from your insecurity What kids actually want (hint: it’s not roses) The Atlantic study on what children prioritize Why dopamine-driven spectacular moments backfire How to simplify without becoming joyless Why a happy, regulated mother sets the emotional climate How to find your personal “vibe” again Magic is: Free play Independence Being trusted Being seen A mom who’s present Shared kitchen moments Riding bikes Learning to cook Being regulated through hard emotions Magic is not: Disposable decorations Dozens of roses Goodie bags Out-fabulousing your guilt The antidote is simple: Simplify so you can feel magical in the mundane. Also in this episode: How I reset my own slump with disco music and a velvet catsuit Why losing yourself in motherhood kills the vibe How to bring “club you” back into the kitchen Why your energy leads the house A happy mother is the magic. Full stop. As always — put your phone down, rock on, and find your vibe. Join Over It, my new March Class Join Strength and Mobility Class 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 297: Disney Isn’t a Must (And Vacations Won’t Fix Your Life) from Oh Crap with Jamie
20 min
A mom in our community asked a question that I think a lot of parents secretly wrestle with: “Do I have to do Disney? Isn’t it a right of childhood?” In this episode, I break down why the answer is no — and why we need to rethink what vacations are actually for. We talk about: Why time off from labor is a human right — but travel is not The difference between a vacation and traveling Why starting young matters if you want good travelers The mental load moms carry on family trips Why kid-centric vacations are often a bust Overstimulation, walking, waiting, and corporate gift shops Why kids don’t suddenly become grateful in magical environments How expectations ruin vacations Why living for your next trip is a red flag The connection between social media, boredom, and dissatisfaction Why real life feels dull when your phone becomes your dopamine source How to create magic in the mundane You are going to have the kid you have. You are going to have the spouse you have. You are going to have the life you have — just with more glitz. Vacations don’t fix dissatisfaction. They amplify expectations. If you’re living for your next break, it may be time to rebuild your daily life instead.

- 296: Govern, Garden, Guide (And What To Do If You Missed It) from Oh Crap with Jamie
38 min
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about govern, garden, guide — especially from parents worried they already messed it up. So let’s clear the air. In this episode, I explain: Where the govern, garden, guide concept comes from What “govern” really means in the 0–6 years Why leadership (not control) creates safety How permissive parenting sneaks in — and why it feels good Why kids don’t trust inconsistent boundaries What to do if you didn’t govern early Why the pendulum has to swing before it can settle How boundaries actually work (and what they are not ) Why repeating yourself erodes trust How to stop going “psycho” as a parent Why kids push harder when leadership is unclear How routines, rules, and boundaries work together Why it’s never too late — but it will be uncomfortable This episode is a reminder that: Parenting isn’t about perfection Kids don’t need you to be gentle — they need you to be steady Boundaries aren’t about control, they’re about safety And leadership is an act of love You didn’t ruin your kid. But if you’ve been too permissive, you’re going to have to get uncomfortable for a while. That’s how trust gets rebuilt.

- 295: Lean into your kid being extra (whatever flavor of extra they got) from Oh Crap with Jamie
13 min
When kids are dramatic, hurt, angry, or emotionally flooded, our instinct is often to shut it down with logic. “It’s not that bad.” “You’re fine.” “Stop overreacting.” In this episode, I explain why that backfires — and why leaning in to big feelings actually helps kids regulate faster. We talk about: How kids borrow our nervous systems Why minimizing emotions makes them persist The power of exaggeration and humor How going into your child’s emotional world brings them back Why adult logic doesn’t work in emotional states The difference between leaning in vs. matching a tantrum When to lean in — and when to stay calm and quiet How functional freeze shows up in parents Why listening to too many experts disconnects us from intuition How leaning in builds trust, connection, and repair This episode is a reminder that: You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need a script. And you don’t need to fix your child’s feelings. You just need to be with them. As always — put your phone down, rock on, and have a beautiful day. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap! Cafe Parenting Community Oh Crap! Potty Training Oh Crap!

- 294: The Boring Parts of Life, Are in Fact Life from Oh Crap with Jamie
32 min
Join my February Strength and Mobility Class If you feel exhausted, resentful, or like life is just one endless list of things to get through — this episode is for you. In this conversation, I explore why modern parents are burning out not just because life is hard — but because we’re resisting the very things that make up a life. Using the Zen concept chop wood, carry water , we talk about how the mundane tasks — dinner, laundry, dishes, routines — are not problems to solve, but realities to inhabit. We cover: Why the “finish line” is a lie How resisting daily responsibilities creates resentment Why hustle and optimization are making parenting worse How creating a vibe changes everything Why lighting, music, ritual, and presence matter more than outcomes How multitasking and phone use dysregulate parents and kids Why single-tasking calms the nervous system How gratitude for the basics shifts your internal state Why perfectionism is a nervous system issue, not a standard How to strip away what’s actually frying you This episode is not about doing more. It’s about doing less fighting with your own life. The magic isn’t in the big moments. It’s in the boring stitches that hold everything together.

- 293: Your Nervous System is Running the Show from Oh Crap with Jamie
34 min
Join my February Strength and Mobility Class This episode is me saying the quiet part out loud. If you are overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted, reactive, or feel like you’re constantly one second away from losing your shit — this is not a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a “try harder” problem. It’s a nervous system problem. And it’s everything. In this episode, I explain plainly what I’ve been circling around for a long time: I can’t give you parenting advice if your nervous system is fried. None of it will stick. We talk about: Why your kids borrow your nervous system (and what that actually means) Why co-regulation isn’t a buzzword — it’s biology How phones and social media are the most dysregulating force in modern parenting Why scrolling feels relaxing but actually makes things worse The myth that regulation is a “look” or a calm voice Why fake calm backfires with kids Overstimulation, clinginess, and “up your ass” behavior Why boredom, slowing down, and doing less actually helps What happens when parents refuse to change anything but still want relief The difference between gentle parenting and permissive parenting Why this all depends — and why there is no universal solution This isn’t about being zen. You’re still going to lose your patience. You’re still going to yell sometimes. You’re still human. This is about stripping away what’s frying your system so you can show up grounded enough to handle the chaos. You are the expert on your child. I’m just offering a buffet. Take what works. Leave what doesn’t. As always — rock on, put your phone down, and have a beautiful day. 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap! Cafe Parenting Community Oh Crap!

- 292: Millennial Parenting - The Good and the Bad from Oh Crap with Jamie
1 hr 5 min
In this episode, I sit down with Katherine from Moms Off the Record for an honest, unscripted conversation about how parenting changed so drastically - and why so many parents feel overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out. This isn’t advice. It’s not a how-to. And it’s definitely not prescriptive. It’s two moms from different generations trying to understand how parenting got so complicated — and how we might loosen our grip without losing our minds . We talk about: How Gen X and Millennial parenting philosophies diverged Risk aversion, safety culture, and why kids aren’t allowed to fall anymore Playground helicoptering and why kids end up “up our asses” The illusion that we can keep kids 100% safe How fear, guilt, and surveillance culture fuel burnout Why boredom, discomfort, and small risks matter The loss of creativity, independence, and community Late-stage capitalism and hyper-individualized parenting Why “core memories” are overrated and connection isn’t We’re not trying to solve parenting. We’re trying to understand what changed - and where we still have agency. If you’ve ever felt like: Parenting shouldn’t feel this hard You’re doing too much but don’t know how to stop You’re exhausted by constant vigilance Or you’re quietly wondering if we lost the plot somewhere This conversation is for you. As always - rock on, put your phone down, and have an awesome day. Connect with Kat: https://www.instagram.com/momsofftherecordpod/ 👉 Sign up for my newsletter Jamie's Instagram Oh Crap!

- 291: Dude, I Aged Overnight (And Here’s What Actually Caused It) from Oh Crap with Jamie
22 min
A few weeks ago, I woke up and realized I had aged overnight — and I don’t say that lightly. My skin looked dull, saggy, gray, and smushed, and it wasn’t bouncing back. And while I’m committed to aging naturally, the suddenness of it stopped me in my tracks. In this episode, I walk through what actually caused it — and why it surprised me. We talk about: How sugar and higher-carb eating can show up on your face fast Why endurance activities expose nutritional blind spots The difference between fueling your body and numbing it Why women need more fat, not less How metabolic health affects skin, energy, and mood Why weight is a useless metric compared to vitality What changed when I returned to meat, fat, and whole foods Why habits built in your 30s determine how aging feels later This episode isn’t about telling you how to eat. It’s about noticing patterns, listening to your body, and understanding that after a certain point, the bill comes due — sometimes overnight. If you’ve felt suddenly older, more tired, or less resilient, you’re not crazy. As always — put your phone down, rock on, and have an awesome day. ✌🏽🧡 ㅤ **** You may know me as the author of Oh Crap Potty Training and Oh Crap I Have a Toddler.
