What if we could boil allllllll of our #BigKidProblems down to 12 Sources? Dr. Sam Rader is in the house today, and after practicing Psychology for 18 years she started realizing that everyone’s problems could all be traced down to 12 KEY Sources,  creating what she dubbed, “Source Code”. She has found that if we can better understand the SOURCE of our issues, why we do the things we do, why we repeat patterns and cycles that most of us developed in early childhood, well then we are much more likely to overcome them. Want to uncover your own source code? Take a listen to this episode! Want more from our guests?Dr. Sam Rader Instagram: @drsamraderCheck out her website HEREApply for Coaching HEREStay connected with Sarah too! Personal Instagram: @SarahMerrill_HallGet some laughs on @bigkidproblems!BigKidProblems is on TikTok now! Find more at www.BigKidProblems.comAnd check out her NEW Pregnancy Podcast BOTTLE SERVICEBig thank you to our episode sponsors:Morning Recovery - ​​Drink

Remember when all we cared about was PREVENTING pregnancy? Well now that I'm in my 30’s, I’ve seen a new big kid problem arise, and that is having trouble getting pregnant. There is a lot we don’t learn about when it comes to our fertility and that's why this week I’m bringing in the big guns, Dr. Lora Shahine. She is a Double Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist, Bestselling Author, and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Washington so needless to say - she knows her sh*t! We’re going to talk about the things she wants ALL of us know about fertility, whether you are actively trying or have no idea if you even want kids yet.  We’ll talk about fertility treatments (where to get started, IUI vs. IVF),  Egg Freezing, we’re even going to talk about miscarriages in this episode, which I can tell you as someone in their 30’s - is wayyy more common than I thought. I learned a LOT in this episode and hope you do too! Want more from our guests?Dr. Lora Shahine Instagram: @DrLo

Sarah is in her THIRD trimester and opens up about experiencing some depression symptoms earlier in pregnancy. What she didn't know? It's way more common than she thought.

WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS?! The attachment styles we develop when we are weeee little kids can seriously f*ck up our big kid lives.

Do any of these sound familiar?
