    408: What You Didn’t Know About Breast Cancer (That Could Save Your Life)with Paula Schneider
    Sep 30 2025
    When was the last time you scheduled your mammogram—before or after reorganizing the pantry, driving kids to practice, and binge-watching Netflix? Let’s be honest, mammograms sit on the “I’ll get to it later” list right next to flossing every night. But skipping them could mean missing the breast cancer facts every woman should know. Today’s guest, Paula Schneider, honorary vice chair of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, breast cancer survivor, and author of Love Stays Strong, shares her powerful journey of diagnosis, treatment, and raising kids while fighting for her life. With her blend of honesty and humor, she opens up about the conversations we avoid, the myths we believe, and why early detection is everything. This conversation is full of the breast cancer facts every woman should know—why mammograms matter more than we admit, how silence can hurt more than honesty with our kids, and what it really means to love your family enough to take care of yourself first. It’s raw, real, and a reminder that while cancer may change everything, love stays strong. Resources We Shared: Susan G.

    402: Is Your Kid Forgetful—or Just Being a Kid? Executive Function Decoded with Tori Cordiano, Ph.D.
    Sep 9 2025
    Ever wonder why your kid can recite every line from their favorite YouTube video but somehow “forgets” their shoes, homework, and to throw away the empty cereal box… all in the same morning? Before you pull your hair out, take a breath—this might not be laziness at all. In this episode, Dr. Tori Cordiano, a licensed clinical psychologist and Co-Director of Laurel's Center for Research on Girls in Shaker Heights helps us decode executive functioning: what it is, why your kid struggles with it (spoiler: their brain’s still under construction), and how you can stop expecting skills they literally don’t have yet. You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh in relief, and you’ll finally get why socks end up everywhere. Resources We Shared: Follow Tori on Instagram Feeling burned out and unseen? It’s time for something new.
