Podcast Episode 309: From Mad Men and the Tonight Show To Parenting Satire: ABC Parenting team Stephanie Drake and Arthur Meyer
Let’s be real: Parenting can feel like a never-ending episode of Survivor—except you can’t vote anyone off the island, and there’s zero prize money. But if you’re looking for a lifeline today, we’ve got you covered with this episode of the No Guilt Mom Podcast. We’re sitting down with Mad Men’s Stephanie Drake and The Tonight Show’s Arthur Meyer to talk about something all parents need more of—laughs!
Turns out, raising kids while keeping your sanity intact isn’t just a survival skill—it’s an art form. Stephanie and Arthur dish on how they went from serious acting gigs to making the insanity of parenthood downright funny with ABC Parenting, a satire parenting advice channel to help remind parents that it’s important to laugh at the nonstop chaos of parenting.
Ever wonder how celebrities tackle a toddler’s meltdown? Spoiler: It involves a lot more comedy than the corporate drama of Mad Men.
In this episode, we dive into how humor can save your soul (and your last nerve), why we all need a break from being “mom” sometimes, and how laughing through the chaos is the ultimate parenting hack. Whether it’s wrangling toddlers or negotiating with your teenager, laughter isn’t just the best medicine—it’s your new superpower.
So if you need a break, sit back, hit play, grab your coffee (or wine), and get ready for some laughs. You deserve it, mama!
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- The need for breaks from parenting and humor is universal.
- Humor can help diffuse children’s fears and anxieties.
- The importance of validating children’s feelings is crucial.
- The dynamics of parenting change as children grow older.
