Dr. Rony Duncan: Psychologist, Mum—and Our Big Sister!—Gives Us Permission Not to Do It All!

This week on Dinner Last Night, we welcome a very special guest—our big sister, Rony Duncan, all the way from Melbourne, Australia!Rony’s our big sister from the same mister, but a different mom (shout-out to our Australian matriarch, Nonna Susi!). What makes our relationship even wilder? Rony grew up knowing all about her American family, but we didn’t learn about her until we were 10. When we finally met as teens, it was instant love, connection, and endless laughter (plus discovering we all share the same sausage toes 🥖👣).Though we live oceans apart, that distance has only deepened our bond. Rony brings so much wisdom to our lives—not just as a sister, but also as a seasoned psychologist and mother of two incredible boys.This conversation is full of gems about parenting, family rhythms, and ditching guilt at the dinner table (and in life).We also talk about:Supporting ADHD kids at the table (and beyond)How to make parenting more playful and effectiveDesigning your weekly flow (including meal planning) to keep sanity in a busy householdDivision of labor at home + leaning into your partner’s strengths (we reference the Fair Play card game)Helping moms release guilt and focus on repairThe 1-degree turn mindset shift that changes everythingSubscribe below for a chance to win a signed copy of Eve Rodsky's book, Fair Play, and the card game.This one is close to our hearts, and we’re SO excited to share it with you.Send us a message!Support the showSubscribeNever miss an episode: Follow Dinner Last Night and subscribe to our newsletter.
