K-Pop Demon Hunters Backpacks Will Ruin Us 12.08.2026 46minIt’s our back to school not at all special perfectly regular episode because while the children are returning to school, we didn’t actually put any effort into making a special to celebrate. We’ve just been trying to survive the last vestiges of summer. From the battles we know we’re about to fight about backpacks to tainted school pick up mirror tags to a whole bunch of other stuff we had no idea we were going to bring up, we’re talking back to school.

Summertime Sadness? 29.07.2026 47minHaving kids doesn’t magically make you immune to depression, seasonal or otherwise. And no one wants to believe you when you say summertime makes you sad. But we believe you. We believe you because we also get the summertime SADS. This episode we discuss parenting while blue, while struggling, while barely hanging on and still getting stuff done. It’s okay to not be okay. You do need to reach out for help. And sometimes just mentioning “I’m not okay” is the hardest step to endure. We want to hear from you!

Toddlers & Teenagers 17.06.2026 56minOn this episode of Childproof: Parasocial Parenting we discuss mushroom allergies, mascots that are not in any way shape or form mascots but Gwenna nicknames everything inappropriately, and how toddlers and teenagers are alike but different. Also we discuss how gentle parenting doesn’t mean never being mean. It just means being mean with purpose and intent and realizing that your kids can be mad even if you’re being gentle. This week’s mascot is the weird leaf bowl apparently common in Germany. Germany, sound off…is this yours? Is there one of these sitting in your home somewhere? Are you German or of German heritage?

Very Dangerous Butterflies 03.06.2026 50minThe start of summer means more kids everywhere. If your kids aren’t in school yet you have no sympathy. We understand.

Childproof Untold 25.02.2026 51minOn this episode of Childproof Gwenna and Tori discuss things. Okay, full disclosure for the seventeen people that read notes and descriptions, we recorded this and then Oklahoma and Kentucky both exploded with influenza. Everyone was sick. Stuff got paused while we all healed. It was rough. No one had any fun. Show notes didn’t get written and by the time they got back to it Gwenna, who writes the descriptions forgot what we talked about and Tori, who edits the episodes cannot be trusted to write descriptions. So now you know this is a podcast hosted and run by two people who have no idea what they are doing and should be better at this by now. We want to hear from you!

So Now It's A Problem 11.02.2026 54minTori only thought they were losing it. Their snow continues and we decided to scour the internet for what they are saying about parents in the media. Did you know Warren Buffett was a gentle parent? Who knew? And then we spend most of the rest of the episode being very millennial and complaining about a Buzzfeed article. It’s not so much complaining as pointing out how it’s wrong a bunch. So like I said, being very millennial about it. We want to hear from you!

We Have A Confession 21.01.2026 52minOkay yes fine. We admit it. Sometimes we make meals our whole families enjoy and sometimes we make five different dishes, one for each human in the house. We do it because we can. Because it’s not that hard. Because not every moment needs to be a teachable one.
