The Kids Are Alright, Right? (with Melinda Wenner Moyer and Gina Heumann)

On today’s episode, Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein and guest host Beverly Batte discuss the struggles (and successes!) of parenthood. They get real about their own parenting conundrums, talk about mistakes they’ve made (and what they’ve learned), and chat about how to have hard conversations with your kids.

They’re then joined by Gina Heumann, a suburban mom with adopted kids who founded Trauma Drama University to help other parents who have kids dealing with trauma.

Then Jasmine sits down with Melinda Wenner Moyer - author of the aptly named book ‘How To Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes.’ They discuss the research behind parenting and how to talk to your kids about racism, sexism and even screentime, to help shape them into honest, kind, generous, confident, independent, and resilient people.

Finally, Amanda, Jasmine, and Beverly raise a glass to eye opening television, inspiring parents, and the Real Housewives in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.”
