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.

After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

You’re touched out. Your brain is fried. And sex feels like one more thing on the list. In this episode, Kristin and Deena sit down with sex therapist Vanessa Marin and her husband Xander Marin to talk honestly about what really happens to intimacy after kids, and why so many loving couples feel disconnected during this stage.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and digs into the real blockers to desire: exhaustion, resentment, mental load, body changes, and the pressure to “get back to normal.”

You’ll learn:

• Why “low desire” is often a pleasure, energy, and safety problem, not a you problem

• How mental load and invisible labor quietly shut down intimacy

• What your partner is really asking for when they initiate sex (even when it comes out clumsy or annoying)

• Why going back to the honeymoon phase isn’t possible - and what’s available instead

• Simple, realistic ways to reconnect when you’re already depleted

If you’ve been missing closeness but don’t know how to get back there, or don’t even know where to start... Nothing is broken. You’re not failing. You’re just in a season no one talks about. And this episodes gives you real tools, real relief, and a clear path forward.

Sex After Kids: What the Hell Happened? And What To Do About It.

This might be the funniest, most NSFW episode we’ve ever recorded—and it’s also one of the realest conversations we’ve ever had about women, comedy, and motherhood. Kristin and Tyler sit down with two women who have done something almost no one in their industry pulls off: build big, boundary-pushing comedy careers… and then become moms without disappearing into motherhood.

Natasha Leggero — yes, that Natasha — the iconic stand-up comedian you know from Chelsea Lately, the Comedy Central Roasts, countless specials, and her cult-favorite series Another Period — brings her signature sharp, glamorous, no-BS take on what it really costs to survive Hollywood, stay funny, and navigate the emotional landmines of becoming a mom.

She’s joined by Sabrina Jalees — a comedian and powerhouse TV writer known for Big Mouth, Search Party, and Apple TV+’s Fraggle Rock — who brings a brutally funny, disarmingly honest look at identity, parenting, and the chaos of raising kids while making comedy for a living.

Together, they do what women in comedy have always been told not to do: they get real, they get raw, and they say the quiet parts out loud.

You’ll hear:

• How motherhood collides with a career built on late nights, touring, and telling the truth into a microphone

• The invisible pressure on moms to be “grateful” and “perfect” while quietly drowning

• The identity crisis of going from “comic first” to “mom first” — and how they’re reclaiming both

• Why laughing about the darkest, messiest parts of parenting can be the most healing thing you do

• Wild, genuinely NSFW stories (strip clubs, autism disclaimers, airline-tracking apps… nothing is off-limits)

It’s chaotic, brilliant, vulnerable, and laugh-til-you-snort funny. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do motherhood perfectly, the fear of losing yourself, or the relief of finally laughing at the mess — this episode is your permission slip. This is the side of motherhood no one talks about. This is the side of comedy no one sees. And this is the episode you’ll be thinking about long after it’s over

The Most Honest Take on Motherhood You’ll Hear This Year — from Two Female Comedians

In this episode, Kristin and therapist/author Eli Harwood unpack why mother–daughter relationships are uniquely tender, triggering, and complicated. Eli explains how daughters reflect parts of ourselves we haven’t healed, fear, envy, expectations, and old wounds we wish we’d outrun. They dive into the generational dynamics that shape us, from mothers who sacrificed everything to mothers who tried to control in the name of “protection.” Eli shares her own childhood story: growing up with a mom battling depression and a dad struggling with alcoholism , and how it shaped her codependency, perfectionism, and “put together” persona today. The conversation is raw and hopeful as they explore how healing ourselves creates the future relationship we want with our daughters. This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about mother–daughter dynamics.

The Mother–Daughter Tangle: Why This Relationship Is So Hard… and So Worth Healing

The holidays are here… and so is the pressure. In this episode, Kristin and Tyler pull the curtain all the way back on what moms and dads are really carrying into Thanksgiving week: the invisible loads, the silent expectations, the emotional pressure cookers nobody talks about. If you’ve ever felt like you and your partner are walking into the holidays as two overwhelmed people fighting the same fire from opposite corners of the house… this is your reset button.

We’re breaking down:

* Why moms enter the holidays already burnt out (and it’s NOT a personal failure)

* The surprising emotional load dads carry that no one sees

* How “Mom Mode” and “Dad Mode” quietly collide and create a holiday meltdown spiral

* The stats behind why this week feels so damn heavy

* The real reason partners snap, shut down, or suddenly fix random things

* What dads wish they could say but don’t

* And the simple plan that helps couples stay a team instead of turning on each other

This is the conversation that diffuses resentment, increases teamwork, and gives your whole family a calmer, more connected holiday. If you’re heading into the week overwhelmed, resentful, overstimulated, or bracing for impact, listen to this first. It might just change the way your whole house feels.

Dad Mode 2.0: What Modern Dads Are Really Carrying Into the Holidays

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: hearing the words “I hate you” come out of your child’s mouth. The kid you’d do anything for now looks at you like you’re the enemy. But what if that moment wasn’t the end of your connection… but the beginning of something deeper?

In this powerful, eye-opening episode, Kristin sits down with pediatric psychologist and author Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart (Love the Teen You Have) to unpack what’s really going on when your kid lashes out, slams the door, rolls their eyes, or says things that cut deep. You’ll learn what’s happening in their brain during those heated moments, why your teen or tween pushes you away, and how to stay calm even when every nerve in your body wants to scream back.

Through raw honesty, relatable examples, and practical tools, this conversation is your roadmap for staying grounded in the chaos and connected through the storm. If you’ve ever walked away from an argument with your child thinking “Did I just ruin everything?” then this episode is for you.

You’ll walk away with:

- Concrete scripts for what to say in the heat of the moment

- A better understanding of your child’s emotional and brain development

- The #1 mistake parents make that pushes teens further away

- Tools to repair after a blowup and rebuild trust

- A reminder that you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think

Your kid doesn’t hate you. Their brain is under construction. And you? You’re exactly the parent they need. Tune in — this one could change everything.

Parenting Teens: The Hard Truth No One Tells You (And the Shift That Actually Works)

If you’re raising a strong-willed kid, this episode could change the trajectory of their entire life. Strong-willed kids get mislabeled as “bad” all the time. They push back. They melt down big. They leave you wondering if you’re failing - or if they’ll ever fit into the world. But here’s the truth: they’re not broken. They’re brilliant. And how you parent them determines whether that brilliance gets buried in shame or unleashed as their superpower.

In this episode, Kristin pulls back the curtain on what it was like to be that so-called “bad kid” herself - and shares the exact 3 messages every strong-willed child needs to hear on repeat. When you start saying these words, everything changes:

- Your child will begin to see themselves as worthy, not “bad.”

- You’ll stop parenting from fear and start parenting from belief.

- You’ll shift from daily power struggles to raising a child who knows they are loved, gifted, and celebrated exactly as they are.

These aren’t just words. They’re lifelines. And they can change the way your child shows up in the world - and how you show up as their parent. If you’ve ever thought, I don’t know if I can keep doing this, this episode is for you

Listen Now: Good Enough with Natasha Leggero & Sabrina Jalees

Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is officially done chasing “balance”, because, as she tells Kristin, it doesn’t exist. In this funny, honest, and deeply relatable conversation, Katherine opens up about the pressures of “doing it all,” the guilt that comes with motherhood, and the boundaries she’s learning to hold as a mom of three. She shares what protecting her peace looks like in real time: saying no, slowing down, and letting herself be imperfect. Plus, Katherine passes along game changing piece of advice her mom, Maria Shriver, taught her about keeping a family close: the importance of naming your family values out loud, revisiting them often, and making sure everyone knows what your home stands for. It’s simple, profound, and truly game-changing advice every family needs.Together, she and Kristin unpack what it means to redefine success and replace the pressure with presence. It’s refreshing, hilarious, and full of heart, the kind of chat that makes you feel instantly lighter.

You’ll walk away with:

1. Katherine’s hard-earned lessons on letting go of the “supermom” myth.

2. Practical ways to set boundaries and protect your peace, guilt-free.

3. The reminder that dropping the ball isn’t failure…it’s freedom.

Manifestation Advice That Actually Makes Sense (Backed By Science, Not Just Vibes...)

Parenting is hard. Parenting with ADHD, autism, and three kids? That’s hard mode. In this raw, unfiltered episode, Kristin (ADHD) and her husband Tyler (autism) share the messy, hilarious, beautiful, and deeply human truth of raising kids in a neurodivergent household. From autistic meltdowns to ADHD crashes, from marriage clashes to parenting a recently diagnosed autistic child, they reveal the stories they’ve never told before.

You’ll learn:

 • The science behind autistic meltdowns and ADHD crashes (and why they’re so misunderstood)
 • How to build a family that works for your wiring, not the world’s rules
 • How celebrating their child’s neurodiversity unlocked compassion and celebration for their own neurodivergent wiring
 • Why neurodivergent families don’t need to ‘fix’ themselves - they need to design differently
 • How neurodivergent families aren’t broken, they’re rewriting the rules of parenting

Equal parts funny and vulnerable, this episode will leave you feeling seen, hopeful, and empowered to parent differently, because your wiring isn’t a flaw, it’s your family’s superpower.
