Welcome to Phases
We're Courtney and Scott — a married couple diving into the messy, beautiful, ever-changing world of raising kids and growing up alongside them.
Courtney brings her PhD in educational psychology. Scott brings… questions (and experience co-hosting
Syntax.fm). Together, we're exploring family psychology, human development, and parenting — judgment-free.
