Dr. Amy Moore is a cognitive psychologist and child development specialist with over 25 years of experience in the field. She is also the Research Director for LearningRx and the host of the Brainy Moms podcast. Kim Hanson is the CEO of LearningRx, and her passion is to help professionals, educators, and parents learn more about cognitive skills and how they impact real-life performance.

Today we’re chatting about cognitive skill development, learning difficulties with kids, and how to optimize learning. I’m excited to share this episode because we focus so much on moms, but if a child is experiencing learning difficulties we all know how much that can affect a mom’s (and family’s) well-being.

Listen in as we talk about the factors that influence cognitive ability, including the factors that parents can influence such as diet, physical activity, and screen time. Amy and Kim also share how parents can determine the learning strengths and weaknesses that a child has, and how LearningRx is helping to optimize learning for children.

How to Achieve a Happy Division of Household Labor with Eve Rodsky, Author of Fair Play05 Aug 202100:52:11

Do you feel like you are drowning under a list of “to-dos” and the invisible workload that so often falls on the shoulders of women?

Eve Rodsky is a wife, mother, a Harvard graduate, and the author of Fair Play, a book that is not only shining a light on the issue of women’s unpaid labor, but also provides actionable steps to more equitably divvy up domestic responsibilities.

In this episode, Eve shares the moment of her personal reckoning and the catalyst that eventually led to Fair Play being born, how unpaid labor is an issue that transcends race, class, and even sexual identity, and reminds us that it’s not a badge of honor to have it all by doing it all.


We also discuss steps to building more equity with your partner when it comes to household responsibility, and why change starts with each of us unlearning every message about our role and value that we have been given throughout our lives.

How Do Physical Pain and Injuries Intersect with Mental Health for Moms with Expecting and Empowered01 Jul 202100:35:39

We’re keeping it real AND getting back to the basics in this episode!

We all know that mental health is important, and it’s fantastic that there is so much awareness around it, but it’s crucial that we also remember our physical health is just as important.

Krystle Howald is co-founder of Expecting and Empowered, whose mission is to empower ALL women to feel confident in keeping their baby safe during pregnancy and heal their body properly after birth.


Listen in as we dive into something so many of us don’t give much thought to: our own body mechanics in the postpartum period through the toddler and elementary school years. What does that mean? How we carry our kids, how we breastfeed, how we stand, and even how we pick them up can leave us moms with challenges when it comes to how our body feels - and challenges with our mental health as a result.


Krystle will give us tips to keep our body mechanics in shape from birth, including how to carry your kids in the most physically beneficial way for your body, how to balance your core, and how to conserve your energy (including some hacks to make laundry easier!) She also gives advice on what to do if you’re already having mechanical problems, and shares the most common mechanical areas that moms can improve on.

No doubt if you’re a mom you have at some point experienced the inexplicable rage that we have come to know as “mom rage.” In fact, it’s so common that it even made the New York Times in 2020 during the height of the pandemic (though don’t worry if you were too busy trying to juggle everything during a global pandemic to read it).


Christina Furnival is a mental health therapist, writer, public speaker, and children’s book author. She is also a wife and mom of two, and she joins me today to discuss all things mom rage. We’re talking about what it is, why we feel it, and how to deal with it.


We’re also discussing some of the many reasons why mom rage has become so common and why our mothers and grandmothers did not share the same struggle (hint: social media and mom guilt, anyone?) If you struggle with mom rage, or have ever struggled with mom rage, this is an episode you definitely won’t want to miss!

Teaching Your Child to Play Independently17 Jun 202100:40:28

Would you love for your kids to play more independently? Are you worried about lasting effects from the pandemic on your kids’ well-being? Do you feel guilty about how much screen time your kids are getting, especially during the pandemic?

We’re talking about all of this today with Erin O’Connor. She is the co-founder of Scientific Mommy, a resource for parents that sifts through the data and presents research in an honest, accessible, and most importantly, an evidence-based way. 

We’re talking about independent versus collaborative play, why independent play is a good thing (so you can stop the mom guilt!), and how to foster independent play in your kids.

Erin also shares the research on how the pandemic may affect kids, including whether masks are detrimental for their development and whether we should be worried about any long-term effects from a lack of collaborative play during lockdowns.

Conflicted to Centered: Putting Yourself at the Center (Part 4)15 Apr 202100:33:45

What does it mean to put yourself at the center?

It does not mean that your life is perfect day in and day out, or that you’ll never experience mom guilt, or that you’ll love every moment of being a mom (here’s a secret: I have yet to meet a mom who does love every moment).

What it does mean is that when things are chaotic you feel grounded and secure enough within yourself that you can be your own rock and act from a place of feeling like you’re worthy to show up for.

In this episode I’m sharing why putting yourself at the center is so important, not just for you, but for everyone around you, too, and how you can begin to put yourself at the center starting right now.

It is just me, Whitney, today, talking about a very personal topic, but one that you can probably relate to. Two words: mom fail. With the current pandemic situation there are so many opportunities for us as moms to feel like we’re just not doing it right, or that we’re doing all of the things but none of them well. I’m sharing a personal story of my own mom fail, and talking about how so many of those moments where we feel like we fail are really just life moments, and do not define us as moms.

How to Raise Differently Wired Kids in a Conventional World with Debbie Reber05 Nov 202000:38:50

Debbie Reber is a parenting activist, best-selling author, podcast host, speaker, and mother to a child who is differently wired. Before creating TiLT Parenting, Debbie spent more than fifteen years writing inspiring books for woman and teens on issues like media literacy, self-esteem, and confidence. 

When she learned that her son, Asher, was differently wired, she spent years figuring out how to best support him and recognized how incredibly difficult it is to find solid, reliable, useful, and optimistic, information for parents like her.

In 2016 she launched TiLT Parenting as a podcast and community so parents stuck in this place of frustration and not-knowing can feel connected and hopeful as they move forward in figuring out what their child needs. 

In this episode, Debbie is sharing some of the lessons she learned along her journey in parenting an atypical child, the a-ha moment she had when she realized that she wasn't showing up for her son the way he needed her to be, and she is giving some of her best advice for co-parenting when you have a differently wired child. We covered so many topics in this episode that I know will be valuable for parents of atypical and typical children alike!

Screentime with Kristin Valerius, Ph.D.22 Oct 202000:41:48

This week we're discussing the impacts of screen time on our children and when (and if) to recognize the need for change in our patterns and usage.

Kristin is a pediatric psychologist who has provided counseling to children, adolescents, and families over the last 12 years. I compassionately work with children and families to address concerns such as behavioral difficulties, strained parent-child relationships, depression, anxiety, school refusal, toileting and feeding difficulties, as well as learning and Attention Deficit disorders. In addition, I provide a specialized focus integrating health concerns with overall daily adjustment including major chronic illnesses, abdominal and GI related disorders, and pediatric pain. I work collaboratively with schools, churches, and child's health care providers to provide integrated care that addresses the broad needs of children and their families.
