In this episode of Two Dogs Barking: Truths and Tangents, we unpack what it means to raise and teach a generation raised on the "Next" button. From reels to rapid-fire content, kids today are conditioned to skip, scroll, and swipe—so what happens when real life demands patience, effort, and staying power?

I talk about the wider societal shift where boredom is seen as a problem, rather than an opportunity. What if learning to manage boredom is one of the most important skills our kids could develop? And what if discomfort is actually where growth begins?

I also share my opinion on the rise of ASD diagnosis.

Tune in for a conversation that blends education, psychology, and just enough tangent to make you think twice next time you hear "I’m bored."

In this episode of Two Dogs Barking: Truths and Tangents, we dive into the messy, meaningful world of parenting teens — where trust isn’t just given, it’s built. I’m unpacking what it really means to empower young people to make decisions, not by controlling them, but by educating them on outcomes, risks, and real-world consequences.

We’ll talk about how setting boundaries isn’t about being the bad guy — it’s about showing you care deeply. It’s about giving teens the tools they need to navigate life safely, confidently, and with growing independence. And yes, the dogs will probably bark, because even they have opinions.

If you’re a parent, educator, or just someone trying to understand the teenage brain (bless you), this one’s for you.

The education system is cracking under pressure, and teachers are the ones holding it together—at a cost. In this episode, we dive into the reality of overwhelming workloads, impossible expectations, and the mental toll on educators. We’ll also explore the silent but toxic issue of ageism in schools, where experience is in contention with green. And let’s not forget the egocentric leaders at the top—those more focused on their image and control than on genuine change.

Is the system broken beyond repair, or can we shift the narrative? Let’s talk about it.
