Welcome to the Parent Empowerance Podcast, where we make early childhood research relatable and actionable for parents. Your host, Amara Bradetich of Parent Empowerance, has her Master’s and PhD in human development and family science (specializing in child development and behavior), is a former preschool teacher and early childhood intervention specialist, and, most importantly, mom to two littles (a 2 and a half year old daughter Natalie and an 8 month old son Liam). Our mission at Parent Empowerance is to help parents of young children, specifically birth to five, feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported. We do this by translating early childhood research into real-life tools for parents of little ones, while grounding our suggestions, action steps, and advice in both relatable lived experience and proven science. Each episode of this podcast will focus on a different topic within child development and most will have 3 main aspects : Summarizing what research says about that topic, Providing real-life examples, experiences, or applications, and Suggesting action steps you can take to apply the research with your own kids. I center my strategies around the idea that parents are the experts of their own children, and I keep the episodes short (15-20 minutes) so you can actually fit listening to them into your week! I know what it’s like to only have a few precious moments to yourself, and I’m glad to be a part of that.

Episode 27: Parenting babies into toddlerhood: What behaviors are normal & how to use redirection & other strategies to support their emotional & behavioral regulation
Sep 9, 202632 min
What looks like “bad behavior” in babies and toddlers is often just big feelings, big desires, and very little self-regulation colliding. The goal isn't simply to make the behavior stop—it’s to set boundaries while helping your child build the skills they’re still developing. This episode focused on what behaviors are normal around the first birthday and in early toddlerhood and what strategies you can use to address these behaviors. This included: Reviewing research and providing examples on: What behaviors are normal around 1 to 2 years of age How coregulation, redirection, attention, boundary-setting, and other strategies address these behaviors Why tantrums are expected at this age Describing strategies to use in your own parenting: Prevent when you can and set up the environment for success Set clear, simple limits and be consistent with them Physically intervene when necessary - block as needed Validate the feeling without changing the boundary Redirect toward an acceptable behavior Teach the skill later Practice regulation when they're already calm Suggesting books: “What to Do When You Feel Like Hitting” by Cara Goodwin “Hands Are Not for Hitting” by Martine Agassi “The Color Monster: A Story About Emotions” by Anna Llenas “Llama Llama Mad at Mama” by Anna Dewdney “Little Monkey Calms Down” by Michael Dahl “Grumpy Monkey” by Suzanne Lang “When Sophie Gets Angry, Really Really Angry” by Molly Bang “The Rabbit Listened” by Cori Doerrfeld “No, David!” by David Shannon “The Feelings Book” by Todd Parr Support my show!

Episode 26: As safe as necessary, not as safe as possible: The importance of safe risky play for child development
Sep 2, 202624 min
You want to keep your child safe—but sometimes it’s hard to know when to step in and when to let them figure it out. This episode focused on why safe risky play matters and how you can support your child’s confidence and independence without hovering. This included: Reviewing research and providing examples on: The core developmental benefits What this can look like in young children Describing strategies to use in your own parenting: Remove hazards when possible Allow manageable risks. Stay available. Pause before intervening. Let children solve problems. Use questions instead of constant warnings. Give graduated challenges. Let them experience small failures. Follow their abilities and developmental level. Notice when your discomfort—not actual danger—is driving the intervention.

Episode 25: The transition from 1 to 2 kids: How to support your child & family
Aug 26, 202627 min
Parents often describe the transition from one child to two as harder than becoming a parent in the first place. This transition can be difficult because your family system is changing, your demands are increasing, your sleep is getting disrupted, and your relationships are reorganizing - not because you’re doing it wrong. This episode focused on why and how to prepare your child and family for adding a new sibling. This included: Reviewing research and providing examples on: How the transition from 1 to 2 kids is a shift for the entire family What to expect developmentally, behaviorally, and emotionally from your older child How the transition affects your relationships with your older child and partner Describing strategies to use in your own parenting: Prepare your child, but don’t oversell the baby Protect the older child’s connection with you - even 10 to 15 minutes uninterrupted a day Expect regression from your older child and don’t panic Keep routines as consistent as possible and make big changes before or months after Involve your child as much as they want but don’t parentify them Validate your older child’s feelings (especially jealousy) Avoid blaming the baby - tiny wording shifts make a big difference! Let your older child stay little - give cuddles, support, etc. as much as you can Don’t force sibling love - sibling relationships grow from thousands of interactions Let your older child hear you tell the baby to “wait” too Give yourself and your partner grace!

Episode 24: How to prepare your young child for starting or returning to preschool/daycare or having a nanny/babysitter
Aug 19, 202626 min
Back to school is here! And the best way to prepare your child isn't teaching them to be independent or making them excited about school. It's helping them build familiarity, predictability, and relationships with the new caregiver/environment while giving them space to have feelings about the change. This episode focused on why and how to prepare your child for starting or returning to preschool, daycare, having a nanny or babysitter. This included: Reviewing research and providing examples on: Why preparing your child for a new caregiver matters How to prepare your child for the transition Describing strategies to use in your own parenting: Familiarize, don't overwhelm - help them know what to expect Practice the routine, not necessarily the separation Build the relationship with the caregiver beforehand whenever possible Talk about the transition—but don't constantly talk about it Validate instead of trying to eliminate separation feelings Keep goodbye routines short, predictable, and consistent Bring something familiar when the program allows it Use books and pretend play to talk about what to expect or act it out Talk with the caregiver about your specific child Suggesting books: “The Kissing Hand” by Audrey Penn “Llama Llama Meets the Babysitter” and “Llama Llama Misses Mama” by Anna Dewdney “I Love You All Day Long” by Francesca Rusackas “Maisy Goes to Preschool” by Lucy Cousins “The Night Before Preschool” by Natasha Wing “Froggy Goes to School” by Jonathan London “ABC School’s for Me!” by Susan B.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
