| 6/11/26 | ![]() The Celebrity Nanny on What Every New Parent Actually Needs to Hear | In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Nanny Connie — baby nurse to over 257 families including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Jessica Biel — for a refreshingly honest conversation about how raising a child takes a village and why trying to do it all alone is the biggest mistake new parents make. Plus Nanny Connie's mantra that cuts through every parenting trend: the baby is the book. And her reminder that stars — they really are just like us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 6/4/26 | ![]() Stay-at-Home vs. Working Mom: Why the Whole Debate Is Outdated | In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause, for an honest conversation about what it really means to step back from your career for your kids, and how to do it without losing your sense of self. They dig into the questions parents actually wrestle with: How do you know if pausing is right for you? What do you do with yourself when the external metrics of success disappear? And if you can't pause — what then? Plus: why your career has zero impact on your kids (but presence does), the comparison trap that hits hardest at the playground, and Neha's parenting win — nailing the sex talk so thoroughly her son was horrified she'd done it twice.

| 5/28/26 | ![]() Surviving the Teenage Years with 'Modern Family' stars Julie Bowen & Ty Burrell | On this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell — real-life parents of five teenagers — for an honest conversation about what happens when your kids stop needing you quite so much. They get into the questions parents of older kids are really asking: How do you keep the conversation going when your teenager shuts down? What do you do when you're 95% invisible and just waiting for that 5% moment? And how do you co-parent well after divorce when you're still figuring it all out? Plus Ty's trick for talking to teenagers without accidentally delivering a lecture, Julie's tip for getting boys to actually open up in the car, and why a boundary-free kid coming over for a sleepover might be the best parenting lesson your child ever gets.

| 5/21/26 | ![]() How to Handle Your Kid's Meltdowns Without Losing Your Own Mind | Dylan sits down with Kristin and Deena of Big Little Feelings to break down what's actually happening in your kid's brain during a meltdown, why reasoning with them in the moment never works, and what to actually do instead — whether your kid is a hitter, a scratcher, or a full public meltdown machine. Plus: what to do when you're the one about to lose it at 8pm and nobody is brushing their teeth, why forced sharing might be setting your kids up to fail, and the parenting confession neither of them is proud of.

| 5/14/26 | ![]() Breaking Toxic Parenting Cycles You May Not Know You're Repeating | Clinical psychologist and The Conscious Parent author Dr. Shefali joins Dylan to unpack the childhood patterns most parents are silently passing down to their kids without realizing it. Are you the fixer who does everything so no one suffers? The fighter who learned to blow up from watching your own parents? Or the freezer who shuts down when the overwhelm gets to be too much? Dr. Shefali gets honest about her own cycles too — including the moment her daughter called her out mid-conversation for shaming her instead of just saying no. Plus: why over-apologizing might be doing more harm than good, what pushing music lessons really says about your own unfinished business, and the one question she says every parent should ask their kid today.

| 5/7/26 | ![]() Picky Eaters, Bed Sharing, and Screen Time Limits: Emily Oster Answers the Questions You're Googling | Ever Googled your child's symptoms at 2 a.m. and ended up more anxious than when you started? You're not alone — and Brown University economist and author Emily Oster has made it her mission to replace parenting panic with actual data. In this episode of The Parent Chat, Dylan Dreyer sits down with Oster to tackle the questions that keep parents up at night: How much screen time is really too much? What do you do about a picky eater? Does it actually matter if your child sleeps in your own bed? And what does the evidence really say about breastfeeding, drinking during pregnancy, and skipping that Sunday morning birthday party? Emily also gets candid about her own parenting fails — including the fact that she knows exactly what consistency does for children’s behavior, and still can't always pull it off.

She opens up about being the "not favorite" parent for years, how her wife Stephanie quietly transformed the way she disciplines, and why she never read a parenting book before her boys arrived. Plus, the words her stepfather said to her that she's never forgotten, and the field trip story that genuinely made her emotional.

| 4/23/26 | ![]() The Fear of Becoming a Mom Nobody Talks About ft. Amanda Hirsch | Dylan Dreyer sits down with Amanda Hirsch — host of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast and mom of two boys — for a conversation about the fear nobody warned you about before becoming a mom. Not the diaper fear, the "what if I lose myself entirely and only care about snack schedules forever" fear. Amanda gets honest about how she nearly talked herself out of motherhood, the checklist she made before taking the leap, and what actually happened to her career once she had kids. Plus: parenting confessions, spicy takes, and a deeply spiritual conversation about why kids need water the second you try to leave their room. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 4/16/26 | ![]() Raising Resilient Kids in a World That Makes Everything Too Easy | Dylan Dreyer sits down with TODAY Show colleague and chief consumer correspondent Vicky Nguyen — two working moms raising three kids who grew up in very different worlds but landed in the same place as parents. Vicky, who came to the US as a refugee from Vietnam at age two, opens up about the strict, authoritarian upbringing she's deliberately doing differently while also finding ways to bring a little of that grit back into her daughters' lives. They talk about keeping communication open with teenagers, why Vicky deliberately keeps friction in her kids' lives to build resilience, and the social media battle with her 16-year-old. | — | ||||||

| 4/9/26 | ![]() Dylan Dreyer & FitDadCEO: ‘Complaining is part of the joy of parenting’ | Dylan Dreyer sits down with Dave Ogleton — aka @FitDadCEO — the TikTok and Instagram dad who's turned the chaos of raising six kids into hilarious, relatable parenting content. Together, they get into the parent you swore you'd be before having kids versus the parent you actually are: the rules you said you'd never break, the battles you get stuck fighting even when you don't care who wins, and the dinner table struggles over your kids immediately rejecting whatever you put in front of them.

From teaching manners and talking through big feelings, to modeling the behavior they want to see in the world, these two are thinking about the long game. Because at the end of the day, the goal isn't just surviving the chaos — it's changing the next generation. | — | ||||||

Erin opens up about mom guilt, the pressure to pretend you have it all together, and why she made a promise to herself to just be honest with people. Because as both women agree — putting that wall up all the time is exhausting. | — | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | ![]() Introducing: The Parent Chat with Dylan Dreyer | You know her as TODAY’s candid third hour host.
