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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-29T18:17:58.256290+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276"},"episode":{"title":"When Is It OK To Give In to Tantrums?","slug":"when-is-it-ok-to-give-in-to-tantrums","published_at":"2026-01-26T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276/when-is-it-ok-to-give-in-to-tantrums","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/robot-unicorn-6878276","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/6be422b2","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/6be422b2/0153356d.mp3","summary":"In this vulnerable episode, hosts Jess and Scott tackle this tough parenting question head-on, revealing their own disagreements and struggles.
