    So, whether you’ve got Mom Brain, ADHD, or the ultimate combo of both, grab your headphones and get ready to embrace the mess with a little grace—and a lot of humor.

    Ever wonder how a famous actress from Mad Men and comedian/writer/actor who wrote for and performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon handle parenthood? Spoiler: It’s hilarious! 

    In this episode, we sit down with Arthur Meyer and Stephanie Drake who make up the dynamic duo at ABC Parenting (TikTok, YouTube & Instagram) to explore how they’ve turned the chaos of raising kids into comedic gold. Arthur is a comedian, writer, and actor who wrote for and performed on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for 8 years, and Stephanie is an actress best known as Meredith, Don Draper's ditzy but well-meaning secretary, from the hit TV show "Mad Men". 

    From serious roles to seriously funny parenting bits, they dive into how humor keeps them sane through diaper disasters, tantrum tornadoes, and bedtime battles. Plus, why breaks from parenting are crucial (because who doesn’t need a snack and a scream sometimes?) and how laughter can ease kids' fears and melt down stress.

    308: How to Master Productivity (even though it was built for a man’s world) with Kendra Adachi

    If you’ve ever tried to follow time management advice only to end up stress-eating Oreos in the closet while your to-do list multiplies like laundry piles, this episode is for you. Kendra Adachi joins us to break down why productivity tips were clearly designed for people who don’t have kids, jobs, or the constant mental ping-pong of parenthood. Spoiler alert: traditional advice wasn’t made for women juggling 57 things at once.


    Enter our guest Kendra Adachi, a 2x New York Times bestselling author and host of The Lazy Genius Podcast. She helps people be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. And her newest book, The Plan just released! It’s such a game-changer for anyone tired of hearing “just wake up at 5 a.m. to get more done” (because, no). This isn’t about adding more to your already overflowing plate. It’s about figuring out what truly matters and, yes, sometimes prioritizing a nap over cleaning the baseboards.
