What's Happening Here?
Dr. Sarah & Kevin

Kevin is Sarah’s partner in crime, bourbon aficionado, discusser of all things, and father of two.We started this podcast because we saw a big gap between research and practice, especially when you have a unique family structure like ours! We wanted to share what we have learned and hopefully what we continue to learn about navigating our lives through the lens of brain science with a big old helping of reality mixed in.We know there are lots of families that look like ours, or kinda like ours, or look nothing like ours, which makes finding a single source of guidance and advice so hard, but we’re gonna try to help you.So join us as we try to figure out what’s happening here.
