  • #104 EC and...toothbrushing?
    Mar 10 2026

    Why do we treat potty learning like a huge event, but toothbrushing like no big deal? We don't bribe for brushing, we don't panic over missed spots. We just… keep doing it.

    In this episode I'm sharing why EC (and potty training) works better when we treat it like a normal daily habit — not a high-stakes milestone.

    Feb 3 2026

    So you're expecting a baby soon. You've read all the books, watched all the YouTube videos, maybe even bought all the undies and potty gear. But then that bundle of joy arrives and you realize– there's no way EC can be as effortless as you had imagined. Because you also have an older child to tend to. Because you have more tasks to remember now. Just because life.

    In this week's episode, we're featuring a realistic and relatable story about all this from one of our Go Diaper Free Coaches.

  • #98 Observation + Intuition = Success
    Jan 27 2026

    When people start EC the hardest thing to explain is "potty intuition". Because what do you mean you just sense that baby needs to pee?? That's why I always teach intuition WITH observation. It's much easier to just note down your baby's signals, or the last time they peed.

    This week's episode is a guest post from one of our coaches, sharing about the ways that intuition and observation work together to make the ultimate EC combo.
