  • #86 Just START
    Oct 28 2025

    I had a chat with about 40 parents in our Go Diaper Free community. 🗣️Most of them had been following me for ages, downloading guides, even buying potties…but hadn’t started EC yet. 🙊

    Why?

    Overwhelm. Fear of messing it up. Worrying their baby was too fragile. Or just sitting on the sidelines, watching instead of trying. 👀 In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through these common blocks and share the simplest way to finally begin EC with your baby.

    Spoiler: it’s way easier than you think.

  • #85 Infant Potty Training in Indigenous Africa
    Oct 21 2025

    Ever wonder how parents in other cultures potty their babies? In today’s episode, I’m sharing stories of indigenous peoples in Africa who never used diapers—long before “elimination communication” had a name.

    From Botswana to Uganda, you’ll hear how mothers simply knew when their babies needed to go, how older siblings pitched in, and why there’s so much less fuss around pottying outside the Western world.

    It’s fascinating, eye-opening, and might just shift the way you see EC in your own home.

  • #82.5 Super-part-time EC success story
    Sep 30 2025

    If I had a dollar for how many moms didn’t start elimination communication because they had to return to work, use a daycare, and didn’t think it would be worth the effort...man, I’d have a bunch of dollars! You see, I am convinced that with the right story in your mind, you too will realize that you CAN do EC super-part-time, use a daycare, and still have early potty independence. You can have it all. I’ll prove it to you with today’s episode featuring a story from a busy working mom who read my book and decided to try EC strictly part-time!

  • #82 Elimination Communication + Potty Training with TWINS
    Sep 23 2025

    If you’re thinking this whole pottying thing could never work for you because you’re expecting (or already have!) twins…Think again! I’ve helped like a million families do EC over the years, and certainly there were parents of twins among them! Even if you don’t have actual twins, I know from my own experience that pottying multiple kids close in age can really complicate things. This week’s episode is all about the tips and wisdom from some twin parents who have gone through EC– and found great success.

  • #81 A toddler + a baby
    Sep 16 2025

    Your sweet second baby has arrived (or is due to arrive soon!) But your firstborn is still working on pottying skills (in addition to all the other toddler skills!). When you have your second baby, you’re definitely doing double duty from then on out. It can be a big challenge - keeping up with elimination communication with your baby while you have a young toddler afoot.

    I know, I’ve been there, 4 times.

    But does EC have to go on the back burner while you wrangle your toddler (and possibly finish toilet training him or her)? I say, “no.” Take a listen to all my tips in this week’s podcast episode.
