# Robot Unicorn Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276.md RSS feed: https://feeds.transistor.fm/robot-unicorn Official site: https://nurturedfirst.com Author: Nurtured First Episodes: 116 ## Resource Join me, Jess VanderWier, a registered psychotherapist, mom of three, and founder of Nurtured First, along with my husband Scott, as we dive deep into the stories of our friends, favourite celebrities, and influential figures. In each episode, we skip the small talk and dive into vulnerable and honest conversations about topics like cycle breaking, trauma, race, mental health, parenting, sex, religion, postpartum, healing, and loss. We are glad you are here. PS: The name Robot Unicorn comes from our daughter. When we asked her what we should name the podcast, she confidently came up with this name because she loves robots, and she loves unicorns, so why not? There was something about the playfulness of the name, the confidence in her voice, and the fact that it represents that you can love two things at once that just felt right. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/robot-unicorn-6878276 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276.md ## Episodes - [4 Reasons Your Child Doesn’t Listen](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/4-reasons-your-child-doesn-t-listen) — 2026-06-29T09:00:00+00:00 - [How To Get Kids To Open Up](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/how-to-get-kids-to-open-up) — 2026-06-22T09:00:00+00:00 - [Self-Care for Burnt-Out Parents with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/self-care-for-burnt-out-parents-with-dr-pooja-lakshmin) — 2026-06-15T09:00:00+00:00 - [The Truth About Shy Kids](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/the-truth-about-shy-kids) — 2026-06-08T09:00:00+00:00 - [3 Reasons Your Child Misbehaves At School](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/3-reasons-your-child-misbehaves-at-school) — 2026-06-01T09:00:00+00:00 - [6 Things About ADHD Parents Need To Know](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/6-things-about-adhd-parents-need-to-know) — 2026-05-25T09:00:00+00:00 - [Why Kids Struggle to Sleep (And How To Help Them)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/why-kids-struggle-to-sleep-and-how-to-help-them) — 2026-05-18T09:00:00+00:00 - [How To Be Firm Without Yelling](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/how-to-be-firm-without-yelling) — 2026-05-11T09:00:00+00:00 - [Getting Honest About New Motherhood With Libby Ward](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/getting-honest-about-new-motherhood-with-libby-ward) — 2026-05-04T09:00:00+00:00 - [Why “Stranger Danger” Doesn’t Protect Kids (Part 3)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/why-stranger-danger-doesn-t-protect-kids-part-3) — 2026-04-27T09:00:00+00:00 - [The Truth About How Child Abuse Stays Hidden (Part 2)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/the-truth-about-how-child-abuse-stays-hidden-part-2) — 2026-04-20T09:00:00+00:00 - [What Parents Need To Know About Grooming: Protecting Kids (Part 1)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/what-parents-need-to-know-about-grooming-protecting-kids-part-1) — 2026-04-13T09:00:00+00:00 - [Stop Letting the Scale Dictate Your Worth With Dr. Rachel Goldman](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/stop-letting-the-scale-dictate-your-worth-with-dr-rachel-goldman) — 2026-04-06T09:00:00+00:00 - [Brain Stuckness: Reducing Power Struggles & Building Flexibility (Part 2)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/brain-stuckness-reducing-power-struggles-building-flexibility-part-2) — 2026-03-30T13:10:00+00:00 - [Brain Stuckness: Why Kids Struggle With Flexibility (Part 1)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/brain-stuckness-why-kids-struggle-with-flexibility-part-1) — 2026-03-23T09:00:00+00:00 - [Why Allowance Is About More Than Money (Part 2)](https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/why-allowance-is-about-more-than-money-part-2) — 2026-03-16T09:00:00+00:00 - [Does Giving Kids An Allowance Make Them Entitled?
