About this listen

Ever wish you could text your pediatrician bestie at 2 a.m. when your kid spikes a fever—or refuses to sleep for the third night in a row?! That’s the vibe here.

I'm Dr. McCullough—a pediatrician and mom who knows how overwhelming parenting can be (even with a medical degree). In this podcast, we dive into all things child health and development, but with zero judgment, just facts and empathy.

You’ll get:

  • Science-backed advice that actually makes sense
  • The latest pediatric updates broken down simply
  • Real talk about the messy parts of mom life
  • Tips you can actually use without Googling five more things

If you're a parent who wants answers you can trust without feeling overwhelmed or shamed, you're in the right place!
