When everything around you seems like a mess, remember, things get better.Two years ago, Ruth was living in a tent with her family in their backyard with no washing machine, a single extension cord and a hot plate to cook meals.

Mary joins Michelle on this bonus episode to discuss how lifestyle changes and thought work help her manage depression.

BYEBYE2019

If you have heart disease, you'll go to the doctor and get medication. But the doctor visits and meds won't be very effective unless you change your lifestyle. Depression is much the same. Yes, go to a doctor or a therapist, get medication if you need to. But managing your thoughts and forming good habits create powerful change to combat depression.

The words you say to yourself, to your teens and about your teens create powerful change in your life.Take a few minutes to write down positive affirmations about yourself. Put these affirmations in front of your bathroom mirror and read them out loud every morning. Feel free to borrow affirmations from others as well as writing your own. Live into these words.Repeat your affirmation.There’s no formula for how often or how many times you should repeat a positive affirmation, but remember that your subconscious brain loves repetition.Examples:I am a cheerful person.I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness.I am a person who loves eating healthy food that fuels my body.I exercise because I love feeling strong and alive.I am always protected by divine power.I love God and I trust in His timing.I treat everyone with kindness.Weight loss is easy and fun.I know, accept and am true to myself.I learn from my mistakes.I enjoy life to the fullest.I accept others for who they are.I commit to learning new things.I am filled with love, hope and confidence.I feel safe and comfortable in my body.Everyone sees how much joy and love I have for life.I crave new, healthy experiences.All of my relationships are positive and filled with love and compassion. I see others as good people who are trying their best.I find opportunities to be kind and caring everywhere I look.My enthusiasm about my job is contagious.Every day of my life is filled with love.

Erik talks about learning to stop yelling.

They've changed math on us. What's a parent to do? We have solutions.

Oh it's far too easy to ruin your relationship with your teen-- but also surprisingly easy to rebuild it. Teens are forgiving and truly crave their parents' approval.

When an acquaintance asks Erik, "What makes you a parenting expert anyway?" We try to offer an answer. We're certainly not perfect-- issues come up at our house every week but we have great relationships, vibrant communication and we're always learning...

Most of us don't want to talk about grief unless we are grieving-- and then we don't want to talk about anything else. Grief can be paralyzing for teens-- whether it is their own, or a friend's.
