After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

by Dear Media and Big Little Feelings

Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.

I enjoy listening to most of the episodes and always walk away with something to think about in my quest to be the best parent possible. Thanks for providing so much for free!

Emmalish · May 2024

I get so much out of every episode! I love the content of each episode and love how you start every episode! The back and forth dialogue, no matter the topic, is always my favorite part. You all make me laugh so much and I truly feel like a little bestie! You make me feel like a better parent. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and helping all of us on the parenting journey. You help me as a parent but also personally. Can’t wait for the next one!

MES!15 · Apr 2024

Love listening now that the F bombs toned down. Dr. Amen was fantastic as a guest. Whitney Port sharing her experience of infertility also powerful. Very relatable.

LovelySG · Apr 2024

I have loved listening to this podcast! It is the perfect mix of parenting and humor. It’s real talk and usually find myself laughing while mid-run. This last episode “boost your child’s brain health in 20 minutes” was so insightful for both adults and children. I will definitely be using some of the strategies in my home.

RunnerMomofTwo · Apr 2024

It does not help parents to platform pseudoscience from Dr. Amen while giving no context or acknowledgment of the legitimate criticism from a field of medical experts. Big Little Feelings seems to have changed from a parenting resource led by people with authenticity to a vehicle for making its owners rich.
