  • How to Actually Handle Feelings with Dr. Marc Brackett

    How to Actually Handle Feelings with Dr. Marc Brackett
    Sep 19 2025

    In today’s episode I sit down with Dr. Marc Brackett, Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel and Dealing with Feeling, to get precise about what emotion regulation actually is. We break down the PRIME framework (prevent, reduce, initiate, maintain, enhance), and the Meta-Moment: a brief attentional and physiological reset (pause + breath + values cue) that widens the stimulus→response gap and supports values-congruent behavior. We differentiate co-regulation from co-dysregulation, explore anticipatory strategies for high-stress routines, and dig into the impact of “positive empathy.”

  • My 101-Year-Old Grandfather, Papa Jack, Shares His Holocaust Survival Story with us

    My 101-Year-Old Grandfather, Papa Jack, Shares His Holocaust Survival Story with us
    Sep 12 2025

    This week, I sit down with my 101-year-old grandfather, Papa Jack, to hear his extraordinary story of survival and love. Born in Poland in 1924, he describes the beauty of his childhood, the rise of antisemitism, and the devastation that followed when Nazi Germany invaded. He shares what it was like to be forced into a ghetto, separated from family, and pushed into camps where survival often came down to instinct and impossible choices.

    Papa Jack’s story and his love story with my grandmother, is the origin of my interest in understanding resilience, the human condition and how we come to be who we are. Their story is one of loss, courage, and hope. In this conversation, you’ll hear not just about the horrors he endured, but also about the love and laughter that carried him forward, and why he feels so strongly that his story must never be forgotten. For his birthday this weekend, I’m going to make sure that I do my part and sharing his story with all of you.

  • What Temperament Really Is—and Why It Matters for Parenting w/ Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar

    What Temperament Really Is—and Why It Matters for Parenting w/ Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar
    Sep 5 2025

    In today’s episode developmental psychologist and temperament expert Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar joins us to talk all about temperament. We dive into the science of temperament—how it develops in early childhood, how it shapes the way kids experience the world, and what it means for parenting. We cover the biological basis of temperament, the difference between shyness and social anxiety, and how parents can support children’s unique traits without trying to “fix” them. We also discuss new research on parent-child synchrony and what it reveals about how children borrow regulation from their caregivers.

This episode was so great for a parent that is raising a toddler and a school aged child without growing up in a safe environment to express her own BIG feelings. This gave some great examples and understanding to why my children may act out at times. They are not bad children, but are having a difficult time expressing their feelings. Thank you so much for this great information.

I really enjoy listening to Aliza. I find her to be comforting and understanding. She has really good conversations with her guests that make me immediately want to learn even more. I can’t wait for her book coming out in January. I’ve already ordered it. 🤗

Comforting and Informative

This is my motherhood secret weapon...when I don't know what to do, I do not call my mother, I frantically scroll through Raising Good Humans until I find what I am going through. I have found that her approach to children, to behavior, to parenting to be the most well rounded. I KNOW I would be lost without her guidance, without her reassurance that sometimes the problem is ME and MY expectations. My child is now 3 years old and I have leaned on her for every stage since he was born. The deepest, warmest thank you to you Dr. Pressman for everything you bring into my motherhood, for exposing me to experts and points of view that I would not have come to on my own but most of all thank you for making motherhood empowering! Forever a fan!
