Ever feel like you’re drowning in laundry, mental load, and school forms—and somehow still supposed to be creating magical family memories and raising emotionally healthy, body-confident kids?

In this episode, Dr. Whitney sits down with Christine Landis, founder of Peacock Parent and the concierge delegation service Proxy, to talk about exactly how parents can offload the stuff that’s draining them—and do it proudly. Christine isn’t just preaching about letting go of perfection—she’s built an entire platform that helps families figure out what to delegate, how to find trustworthy help, and why it’s not selfish to want more time for joy.

They dive deep into the messy emotions behind outsourcing—from privilege and guilt to fear of judgment—and get super honest about how buying back your time isn’t about being bougie, it’s about being strategic. (And yes, you’re still a good mom if you don’t scrub your own toilet.)

Feel like you’re constantly battling your kid over screen time?

Wondering if their love of Roblox, TikTok, or skincare influencers is harmless—or harmful?

Overwhelmed by all the fear-based headlines about what tech is doing to your kid’s brain?

Same. That’s why this week’s episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Whitney sits down with Erin Walsh—social scientist, parenting expert, and author of It’s Their World: Teens, Screens, and the Science of Adolescence—to dig into what’s really going on with our kids and their screens. Spoiler: It’s not as simple as “just take the phone away.” But it’s also not a free-for-all.

Erin breaks down the science of the developing adolescent brain, the real risks of screen time (especially around body image), and what we actually need to be focusing on as parents. This conversation will leave you feeling smarter, calmer, and better equipped to make the best decisions for your unique kid—without shame or overwhelm. See the full show notes here.

In this style-meets-substance episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with wardrobe stylist and educator Connie Jespersen of Art in the Find to talk about the mental blocks, mom-life logistics, and emotional hangups we face when it comes to what we wear — and why it actually matters.

Connie brings empathy, wit, and a refreshing no-pressure approach to personal style, reminding us that confidence isn’t about having the “perfect” closet — it’s about getting dressed in a way that actually works for your real life. From dopamine shopping to drop-off outfits to closet organizing hacks, this is the style pep talk you didn’t know you needed.

As parents, we spend so much time making sure our kids succeed in school, sports, and activities—but are we teaching them the life skills they’ll need to thrive in the real world? From cooking and problem-solving to resilience and independence, these skills are just as important as academics (if not more!).

In this episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, I sit down with Katie Kimball, a former teacher, mom of four, and the founder of Kids Cook Real Food, to talk about why life skills matter and how parents can start teaching them at any age. We dive into the research on kids’ independence, the long-term benefits of hands-on learning, and practical ways to help kids build confidence and responsibility—without overwhelm.

Have you ever felt like the weight of the household is constantly on your shoulders? That you’re the one keeping everything running while your partner is blissfully unaware of all the behind-the-scenes work? If so, you’re not alone—and there’s a way out of the cycle of frustration and resentment.

This week, I sit down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip to talk about her new book, A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex. She’s here to unpack what the mental load really is, why it falls so heavily on women, and how couples can work together to create balance.

We discuss:

✅ What the mental load is and why so many moms carry an unfair share.

✅ The resentment trap—why unspoken frustration builds and how to address it before it damages your relationship.

✅ How to have ‘the talk’ with your partner—effective ways to communicate about mental load without starting a fight.

✅ Why equity in household labor leads to better intimacy (yes, there’s a direct connection!).

✅ Practical, real-world strategies to redistribute tasks in a way that actually works.

Conflict in relationships is inevitable—but sometimes we make it even worse than it needs to be. In this episode, Dr. Whitney explores why couples argue, how to approach disagreements in a healthier way, and what to do when communication breaks down. Drawing from relationship research and her own experiences as a working mom, she breaks down the Four Horsemen of relationship conflict (from Julie Schwartz Gottman & John Gottman), explains the difference between solvable vs. perpetual problems, and shares practical strategies for handling disagreements without resentment or blame. Plus, she highlights why the way we navigate conflict matters—not just for our relationships, but for the example we set for our kids.
