The changing seasons, breaks, and travel can throw off any routine, leading to stress for us and big emotions for our kids.

We welcomed back the incredible BCBA Sarah Wilburn to share her professional and personal strategies for managing child behavior during any major shift in routine. Sarah unpacks the foundational reason behind most meltdowns: the simple loss of predictability.

In this powerful, insightful episode, Sarah shares her wisdom on:

• The crucial role of predictability in a child’s emotional regulation (and why removing it causes dysregulation).
• How to communicate expectations clearly to prepare your children for travel, new environments, and family gatherings.
• Managing the inevitable transition from long breaks back to school.
• The simple language and strategies you can use to minimize meltdowns during any big change in routine.

If you have ever felt defeated by a sudden meltdown during a family trip or a long weekend, this episode is packed with tools and grace to help you navigate transitions with flexibility and confidence.

Ever wonder what it actually takes to run a creative, handmade business while juggling a family?

We’re sitting down with Stacey, founder of Doughrific Kids, who turned a simple DIY Play-Doh kit for her son into a beloved national brand. This conversation is pure mom reality: honest, warm, and full of "oh wow, same!" moments.

Stacey shares her journey from the early chaotic days, revealing:

• The incredible power of sensory play—and how it changed her son’s speech and development.
• The unexpected realities of running a high-volume small business from her home (hint: it involves 500 pounds of flour a year!).
• Why finding time for intentional, creative play is crucial for connection (and sanity!)—and how she started.
• What parents don't see behind the scenes: the market days, the garage storage, and the balance of setting clear business and family boundaries.

If you're balancing work, hobbies, and family life, or just need inspiration to follow your child's interests, this episode is your dose of encouragement and inspiration!
