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 - Coming Soon!

For 35 years, she was labeled sensitive, dramatic, weird, too much. But she wasn’t any of those things—she was autistic. And no one saw it.

In this raw and powerful episode, we pull back the curtain on how autism is profoundly underdiagnosed in women—and why. We explore how masking, misdiagnosis, and outdated diagnostic tools have led to generations of girls being missed, misunderstood, and misnamed. You’ll hear Deena’s story—what everyone got wrong, what finally clicked, and what it’s like to be diagnosed late in life.

This episode isn’t just for people who know they’re autistic. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like an alien in the world. For the girls who were called difficult. For the women who never felt like they fit. For the parents wondering about their child. For the friend who’s finally starting to see the patterns.

This one will shift how you see autism—and how you see yourself.

Unmasked: Deena’s Autism Diagnosis at 35

You’ve been told tantrums are bad behavior. That your kid is “too much.” That if they’re melting down in the grocery store, you’re doing something wrong. Let’s burn that narrative to the ground.

In this raw, science-backed, and radically honest episode, Kristin and Deena unpack the real reason tantrums happen (spoiler: it’s not defiance), why old-school discipline tactics are failing our kids—and ourselves—and what to do instead.

We’re breaking generational cycles, regulating in the cereal aisle, and raising kids who don’t have to unlearn their feelings.

This isn’t just parenting. It’s a revolution.

My Marriage Sucks After Having Kids - Deena’s On the Brink of Divorce

On today’s episode, Kristin shares her heartbreaking story of pregnancy loss in honor of national pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. For a long time, miscarriage and pregnancy loss were seen as taboo, best kept hidden behind closed doors. Women have suffered physically and emotionally, alone, for far too long. We are honored and grateful to be a part of a new generation that shares their experiences. 

We now know these undeniable truths: there is power in women’s stories, there is healing in sharing hard topics, there is collective trauma that becomes uplifted as we band together and lift each other up with our vulnerability and support of one another.

This is one story, of many, of the heartbreaking experience of pregnancy loss.
