About This Podcast

Welcome to The Weekly Parent—a podcast for parents who Google everything, overthink most things, & occasionally spiral wondering if they’re totally screwing it all up. I’m your host Dr. Kiyah Duffey. Former perfectionist and current entrepreneur, nutrition expert, & mom of 3. I’m here to help you cut through the noise, filter the advice, and find what actually works in real life. Each week, you’ll get honest conversations, expert insights, & practical tips about parenting, routines, well-being, and everything in between. Parenting is hard enough without pretending you’ve got it all together.
