😳 What if your stress isn’t just in your head, but coded into your biology? In this deeply personal and scientific episode, Matt & Alona sit down with Dr. Steve Cole to explore how your body responds to the vibe of your relationships, your thoughts, and even your to-do list.

💥 The body doesn’t just react to danger — it prepares for it, and most of us are unknowingly telling our systems to brace every single day. From relationship disconnection to unspoken loneliness, these cues are impacting your genes, your immune system, and your children’s well-being.

💔 You’ll want to hear:

• Why finishing your to-do list won’t make you happy—and how it's biologically undermining you.
• How disconnection between spouses creates invisible stress loads on your children.
• Why meaning and purpose aren’t just emotional fluff—they physically change your body’s threat response.

Nudge = It feels like I’m always doing the next thing on my list, but I'm never at peace. I want to know how to stop operating from this constant low-level stress before it affects my health and my kids.

Nudge = My relationship feels distant. We’re not fighting, but we’re not connected either. I’m worried what message that sends to my kids about love and safety.

Your Kid’s Immune System Isn’t Just About Germs — It’s About You

🔥 What if your child’s immune system is actually responding to you? In this eye-opening episode, Matt & Alona sit down with Dr. Steve Cole, a pioneering social genomics researcher, to expose the invisible ways our relationships — and even our vibes — shape our family’s biology. From chronic disease to viral vulnerability, connection turns out to be a major health intervention.

😳 Dr. Cole explains how emotional disconnection, unpredictable social environments, and even parenting in “survival mode” can silently activate stress responses in our kids' bodies. You’ll never look at your child’s flare-ups or emotional meltdowns the same again.

💥 Hard-hitting truths we unpack:

1. Why your child can feel safe and still be under constant biological threat.
2. How “loneliness” — even in a house full of people — might be the most toxic stressor of all.
3. What happens when your child watches you run on empty — and how your nervous system becomes a model for theirs.

💥 Ever feel like you're parenting on empty? This episode of the webe Pärents podcast might just shake you awake. Drs. Matt and Alona dive deep into the silent epidemic of parental burnout — not from neglect, but from over-devotion. If you’ve ever felt like your identity is swallowed by your kid’s schedule, or your marriage feels more like a carpooling contract, this one hits hard.

🚨 You’ll hear:

• A mom who cheered at every game—until a panic attack in the parking lot forced her to face the truth.
• A dad who gave his son “everything”—until both of them started to hate it.
• A couple who rediscovered their marriage with a hotel room and a “no dance talk” rule.

🧨 The challenge? Your kids don’t need everything. They need you — present, resourced, and fully alive. Saying no isn’t neglect, it’s wisdom. Prioritizing your needs isn’t selfish, it’s modeling.

Nudge 2 = “My partner and I are great teammates for the kids, but the romance is gone. I miss feeling like we matter too.”
