In this episode, I'm talking with child psychologist Dr. Leah Clionsky about parenting, setting boundaries, managing mom guilt, and why parenting advice on Instagram is WACK.

Leah is a licensed psychologist, founder of The Thriving Child Center, a mom of two, and the host of Educated Parent. She also grew up with two psychologists for parents, so she's been surrounded by conversations about emotions, behavior, and boundaries for pretty much her entire life.

And even with all of that knowledge and experience, she still has days when she loses her shit with her kids.

We talk about authoritative parenting, the difference between being warm and being permissive, why setting limits doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, and when parents should (and shouldn't) apologize to their kids.

We also get into parenting Instagram, which Leah has some VERY strong feelings about. She shares why so much of the advice circulating online is misleading, how it creates unnecessary anxiety for parents, and why she's encouraging people to be a lot more selective about who they're listening to.

I'd love to hear what you think about this conversation, especially if you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by all the conflicting parenting advice out there.

In this episode of Let A Bitch Live, I'm joined by Chrissi Harris, host of Found at 40, to talk about getting older, figuring out who we are, and why your 40s might be the perfect time to start editing your life.

Chrissi and I are around the same age, but we're in completely different stages of life when it comes to career and motherhood. She's raising three older kids and beginning to rediscover parts of herself outside of parenting. I'm raising a toddler and still figuring out how to make room for everything I want to do.

We talk about the pressure to have it all, the lives we imagined we would have by 40, and the expectations we're finally ready to let go of. We also get into over-the-top kids' birthday parties, the difference between setting goals at 25 and 40, and why our grandparents always seemed so old.

I'm Cori White, and this conversation reminded me that getting older doesn't mean having everything figured out. Sometimes it means knowing yourself well enough to decide what you're keeping, what you're changing, and what you're no longer interested in doing.

In this episode, I'm talking with my friend Lisa about divorce, dating in your 40s, starting over, and eventually finding a relationship full of green flags.

My friend Lisa loves a jerk.

Well - to be fair to her, she loved a jerk. She's done some work since then.

Lisa went through a divorce in her late 30s and then had to figure out what dating looked like in her 40s as a single mom. And girl, it was a JOURNEY.

We're talking about the parts of divorce she hid from her friends (including ME!) while she was going through it, therapy, co-parenting, dating apps, ghosting, red flags, boundaries, and some men who provided excellent stories for our group chat but were probably not excellent relationship choices.

We also talk about the confidence Lisa has found as she's gotten older and how much her dating experience changed when she got clearer about who she was and what she actually wanted.

And eventually, after years of being attracted to the biggest asshole in the room, she found herself a green flag man.

I'm Cori White, host of Let A Bitch Live, and Lisa is the third of my best friends to sit down with me for one of these conversations. She's funny, vulnerable, unfiltered, and exactly as much of a vibe as I promised she would be.

If you know someone who's going through a divorce, dating after divorce, starting over, or just needs a little of Lisa's bad bitch energy, send her this episode.
