This one is pure “Doctor Duo” improv: we start with a playful holiday question—are you naughty or nice?—and quickly turn it into a real conversation about duality, judgment, and why trying to be “good” all the time actually messes people up. The core message: you’re not here to be one-sided. Healing (mentally, emotionally, physically, and even relationally) comes from seeing both sides of yourself and other people—without the guilt, shame, or performative “niceness.”

3 Key Takeaways:

1. You’re not one thing—ever. Trying to live as “only nice” or “only good” is a half-truth, and it creates internal stress. Real growth comes from integrating both sides (kind/firm, confident/humble, etc.).
2. Judgment is a mirror. The traits you judge hardest in others are usually the traits you carry too—just expressed differently. That’s why resentment can be such a powerful (and uncomfortable) teacher.
3. Guilt + shame kill connection. Whether it’s desires, fantasies, spending habits, or preferences—shaming your partner (or your kids) for what’s real for them creates separation. Communication + curiosity creates closeness.

Quotes:

1. “It’s impossible to live a one sided life. You know, you’re not just nice, you’re mean too.”
2. “When you judge someone else, when you see something in someone else, it’s only because you have that same trait—different form usually—but you have the same trait.”

This episode dives into the misunderstood world of childhood fevers and recurring illnesses, busting conventional myths and exploring the deeper emotional and psychological layers behind kids’ symptoms. Dr. Nick and Dr. Nicole get real about their own family’s experiences, the power of self-reflection, and why being a conscious parent is the ultimate medicine. Expect truth bombs, practical wisdom, and a call to see illness as a feedback mechanism—not just a problem to fix.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Fever Isn’t the Enemy: Most of us were taught to fear fevers, but the real story is that fever is often a sign the body is entering healing mode—not just “getting sick.” It’s the body’s way of burning off what doesn’t serve it and moving towards balance.
2. Emotional Roots Matter: Recurring symptoms like sinus congestion, sore throats, coughs, and ear infections often have emotional or psychological catalysts (like territorial conflicts, unprocessed anger, or feeling unheard). Kids’ symptoms can reflect family dynamics, not just viruses.
3. Parent Reflection = Family Healing: How parents respond to conflict and stress directly shapes kids’ health outcomes. Self-reflection, asking better questions, and being open to seeing your own role in the “problem” is key to breaking cycles and supporting true healing.

Quotes:

1. “The quality of your life is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask.”

This raw, unfiltered episode dives straight into the real challenges of postpartum life—beyond the hormone talk and clinical labels. Dr. Nicole lays it out: bringing a baby into the world doesn’t just shake up your body, it shakes up your entire life, surfacing old wounds, unresolved traumas, and deep-seated beliefs. She breaks down how physical symptoms can be signals from your subconscious, not just medical issues, and offers a powerful invitation to see postpartum as a chance for deep self-reflection and generational healing. This is for every mom (and dad) who’s ever wondered, “Is this just hormones, or is there something deeper going on?”

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Postpartum is a Mirror: Having a baby brings unresolved emotional wounds and subconscious patterns to the surface—don’t ignore what’s coming up, it’s feedback for growth.
2. Symptoms Are Signals: Physical issues (from thyroid to gut to heart) often reflect deeper emotional conflicts or misalignments, not just “bad luck” or “bad genes.”
3. Healing is Generational: Processing your own stuff isn’t just for you—it breaks cycles so your kids don’t inherit your unhealed trauma. Invest in yourself, and you invest in your family’s future.

Quotes:

1. “When you bring a baby into the world, everything shows its face. All the shit that you haven’t processed, all the shit that you brushed under the rug… everything shows its face.”
2. “Your kid is literally a little mirror of all your shit that you haven’t dealt with. So if you can fix yourself as a parent, your kids will be way better off.”
