Podcasts about parents

We survived Snowpocalypse 2026, and honestly? We're not sure what learned more — our kids, our cars, or the ice-covered lakes behind Rizz's house.On this daily comedy podcast, The Rizzuto Show breaks down everything that happens when St. Louis shuts down for snow but nobody actually stays home. Roads are “fine,” side streets are chaos, drivers are going 18 mph out of fear of salt, and everyone suddenly claims they got 16 inches (spoiler: they didn't).Rizz brags about having the highway to himself, Lern avoids highways entirely for “peace,” and Moon learns that remote learning is basically a fake snow day loophole that somehow benefits the schools more than the kids. Meanwhile, Rizz's son drills into a frozen lake to test ice thickness like it's 1954, shovels driveways, and casually makes $100 — while his daughter sleeps until noon like a champion.This daily comedy podcast also tackles the important questions:Are parents still yelling at their kids to shovel? (Yes.)Is warming up your car actually necessary? (Mostly no.)Why does every snowstorm turn neighbors into snowblower-sharing maniacs?And who keeps exaggerating snowfall totals like it's a competition?Then things take a turn when the crew reacts to an internet meltdown involving someone who hid 100 tiny plastic ducks around their apartment to “test” their house cleaner. Is it genius? Is it psychotic? Is it the most passive-aggressive thing ever invented? The debate gets heated, suggestions get weird, and somehow topless duck-based cleaning businesses get pitched.There's also flamethrower regret, leaf blower snow removal hacks, scammy neighborhood kids who disappear with your money, EV battery anxiety, tire pressure panic, and a whole lot of parenting realizations that boil down to one truth: chore charts don't work — yelling does.If you love snow chaos, weird news, relatable parenting fails, and sarcastic St. Louis energy, this daily comedy podcast episode is for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSt. Louis residents dig out after winter stormShould you actually warm up your car in the extreme cold?

When parents start looking for help for a child with OCD, the process can feel confusing, overwhelming, and high-stakes. Between therapy options, medication questions, and different levels of care, it's hard to know what actually matters — and what doesn't.In this episode, I break down what parents really need to know when seeking treatment for OCD.We talk about why the therapist's training matters more than their degree, and what specific approaches are most effective for OCD. I explain the importance of evidence-based modalities like CBT with ERP, ACT, and why family involvement is essential, especially for kids and teens.I also walk through the different levels of care, from outpatient therapy to intensive and residential programs, and how to know when a higher level of support may be appropriate.For parents considering more intensive treatment, I share key questions to ask programs so you can better understand whether the environment is truly appropriate for a child with anxiety or OCD, including how much individual therapy is provided, the mix of diagnoses in the program, and the overall level of safety and stability.Finally, I touch on several well-known OCD treatment programs parents often hear about, and how to think through these options thoughtfully.This episode is designed to help parents feel more informed, more grounded, and more confident as they navigate treatment decisions, because finding the right support can make a meaningful difference in your child's recovery.If you are new to this OCD journey, take my free OCD webinar, 5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know When Helping Their Child with OCD.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Comedian and filmmaker Ryan Beck's parents are just starting to get old, but that hasn't stopped them from getting rid of nearly all their worldly possessions and creating a death binder full of useful information in case they die or lose their faculties. But Ryan wonders if they've gone too far with their Swedish death cleaning. Check out Ryan Beck's hilarious short film about his parents' death binder, A Few Days Home in Johnson County and his podcast, The Meaning of Life.

In this eye-opening conversation, Ohio businessman Justin Powell joins Aaron Renn to discuss his viral article “Dying to Give” — why waiting until death to pass on wealth is often the wrong move, and how thoughtful, early giving can build stronger families, businesses, and communities.Justin shares powerful real-life stories: a multi-generation gravel pit owner who's deliberately preserving two generations of reserves for his sons instead of chasing short-term profits, how he set his teenage boys up with $3,000 each to start lawn-mowing businesses (one made $35K in a summer), and why small, strategic investments at key “choke points” (home down payments, first business capital, financial literacy) can change the trajectory of a young person's life forever.Together they explore:- The massive $85 trillion wealth transfer happening over the next 20 years- Why asset ownership (homes, businesses, land) is becoming harder — and more important — than ever- How parents and grandparents can give wisely without spoiling kids- Balancing prudence (longevity, healthcare risks) with bold generosity and trust in God's provision- Real examples of leverage points where $5K–$20K today creates massive long-term impactWhether you're a parent, grandparent, business owner, or young person trying to get on the ownership ladder, this episode challenges the default “you'll get it when I die” mindset and offers a better way forward.Read Justin's entire "Dying to Give" article: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/dying-to-giveCHAPTERS(0:00 Introduction)(1:26 The gravel pit family story: preserving two generations of reserves)(4:41 Setting kids up early — $3K investment → $35K summer earnings)(7:06 The mindset shift: prepare them now, not just at death)(9:06 The $85 trillion wealth transfer wave)(10:53 Upper-class family subsidies vs. the ownership ladder struggle)(13:24 Choke points: down payments, first businesses, college debt)(16:00 Timing matters — home equity winners vs. renters)(19:00 Wisdom over coercion: guiding adult children with small gifts)(21:52 Billionaire's car test & financial literacy approach)(23:51 Prudence vs. catastrophe planning: when to give boldly)(26:58 Time, talent, and treasure — character over cash)

Rob and Michele Reiner did everything right. They showed up to every therapy session. They paid for eighteen rehab stays. They hired private instructors and family therapists. They let their troubled son live in their guesthouse even after he destroyed it—multiple times. And on December 14, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son Nick, 32, was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder.Today on True Crime Today, we break down the troubling history of Nick Reiner—the entitled Hollywood son whose struggles with addiction and mental illness were met with endless resources and zero consequences. A 2009 rehab roommate tells the Daily Mail that Nick was "a fucking pompous little punk" who constantly ranted about hating his parents—the same parents who attended every family session while other wealthy families sent nannies.We examine Nick's own admissions on the Dopey podcast: destroying property with "no logic," stealing OxyContin from sick elderly people, and getting high during the press tour for Being Charlie—a film about his recovery that his father directed. We look at the 2020 mental health conservatorship, the reported medication change weeks before the killings, and the disturbing scene at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party where guests say Nick was "freaking everyone out" just hours before his parents' deaths.This is the story the headlines won't tell you.

An innovative scheme in Scotland is helping dads in prison become better parents. Myra Anubi visits Barlinnie jail in Glasgow to meet the prisoners taking part. First they are taught parenting skills and then their children are brought into the jail for sessions of active physical play. Supporters of the programme say it is not just about benefits for prisoners - it is helping to create strong family bonds which might then reduce rates of reoffending.It is based on a successful scheme in Australia called Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids. This was set up to get people fit and tackle high levels of obesity in the wider population. We talk to the founder who explains how it has improved the lives of hundreds of fathers and their families.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Parenting introduces new pressures at every stage, but it doesn't have to pull your marriage apart. In this episode, the MTR Team walk through four major parenting seasons and share how couples can stay united, intentional, and More Than Roommates at every stage.Discussion Questions:1- Which parenting season are we currently in, and how is it impacting our marriage right now?2- Do we feel like we're truly on the same team—or unintentionally siding with our kids over one another?3- How do our differences (personality, discipline style, love language) strengthen or strain our marriage?4- What is one intentional habit we can reintroduce (or start) to protect our marriage in this season?

If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child's school experience… If you're exhausted from meetings, emails, meltdowns, phone calls, and “something just isn't working”… If your child is bright, creative, kind, and capable — but school keeps telling a different story… This episode is for you. Today on ReDream Education, I am speaking straight to the families who feel trapped between public school and private school options that still don't fit. Maybe you're noticing anxiety, school refusal, burnout, boredom, sensory overload, bullying, or a complete mismatch between who your child is and the environment they're in. And I want you to hear this clearly: You're not crazy. You're not alone. And the problem isn't your child — it's the system. More parents than ever are waking up to the truth that traditional school models were not built for the needs of today's learners — especially neurodivergent children. And instead of waiting for slow, bureaucratic reform, families are taking the lead. Microschools. Homeschool hybrids. Learning pods. Flexible, personalized learning communities. These aren't fringe ideas anymore. They're becoming a movement — one that is growing because it meets the needs of real families. ⭐ In This Episode, I Share…

Medical trust collapses when profits come before patients. Paying doctors bonuses for hitting vaccine targets creates a system that rewards compliance over individualized care — and parents deserve to know when money is influencing medical advice.

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son exhibiting erratic behavior to a party where other guests considered calling 911. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes twenty years of family dynamics. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers our most comprehensive analysis—a three-part breakdown covering Nick's individual psychology, the family dynamics that trapped the Reiners for 30 years, and systemic failures that allowed tragedy despite unlimited resources. She examines Nick's schizoaffective disorder, the medication change that reportedly destabilized him one month before the murders, and the psychology of someone who admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy.Part two breaks down how the family "grew used to" behavior that alarmed strangers and what three decades cycling through 18-plus facilities does to parents. Part three exposes why the mental health system failed. Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. Alexis Haines said he belonged in a hospital. The care he needed may not even exist.

Everyone needs a good night of uninterrupted rest, especially your baby. If your child has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try playing white noise when you put them to bed. White noise has helped millions of babies fall asleep worldwide, as it helps block out background sounds that can keep your baby awake at night. It creates a soothing environment, perfect for resting little eyes. This infant sleep sound lasts for 8 hours so your baby can sleep for as long as they need. Just don't forget, as a parent you need rest too!While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower.  Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.This episode was originally published in 2022.

Do you have a teen whose emotions feel huge and explosive—and nothing you say seems to calm things down?Do you find yourself reacting out of fear, walking on eggshells, or second-guessing whether you're doing any of this “right”? In this episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with therapist and author Katie K. May about what's really happening when teens have big, intense emotions—and why common parent responses (like “You're fine” or “Relax”) often backfire. Katie introduces the concept of “fire feelers,” teens who experience emotions as all-consuming, and explains how self-destructive behaviors can become a desperate attempt to shut down emotional pain. You'll learn why validation is the fastest way to lower emotional intensity, how “radical acceptance” helps parents stop fighting reality and start rebuilding connection, and why parents need a plan to regulate their own nervous system so they can respond instead of react—especially when safety is a concern. Guest Bio: Katie K. May Katie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and is the author of You're On Fire, It's Fine: Effective Strategies for Parenting Teens with Self-Destructive Behaviors. With lived experience as a teen who turned to self-harm, Katie is one of a select few board-certified DBT clinicians in Pennsylvania. She equips parents and clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to decode behavior as survival and create lasting change. Three Takeaways Validation lowers the emotional “fire.” Before problem-solving, teens need to feel seen and understood—validation helps calm the nervous system and opens the door to change. Radical acceptance reduces parental suffering. Accepting “this is where we are” doesn't mean approving—it means stopping the fight with reality so you can respond more effectively. Parents need their own regulation plan. A “stress meter” and a proactive calming strategy help moms manage fear, avoid catastrophic thinking, and stay steady when emotions run high.

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.This year's theme is Acceptance as a Path to Peace, and in this episode I return to a topic that quietly keeps so many of us stuck: blame.Blame can feel justified when life has been painful. When relationships are complicated. When we've felt hurt, abandoned, or misunderstood. But over time, blame keeps our attention focused outward, tying our sense of peace to other people's choices and behavior.In this episode, I share honestly from my own life, my marriage, my recovery journey, and what I've witnessed walking alongside hundreds of people on their healing path. For me, blame often showed up as “trying to help,” “pointing things out,” or wishing someone else would change and how spiritual practice helped me see what was really happening underneath.We explore how releasing blame doesn't mean minimizing your pain or pretending things didn't matter. It means becoming willing to be honest with yourself, to turn inward, and to stop giving your power away.When we choose responsibility ovRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

Colette Jane Fehr a marriage counselor, EMDR therapist, and author of "The Cost of Quiet." With over two decades of experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, Colette specializes in teaching people how to communicate vulnerably and assertively in their most important relationships.  Episode Overview  In this powerful conversation, Dr. Debi Silber sits down with therapist and author Colette Fehr to explore why speaking up in relationships is essential for healing, growth, and genuine connection—especially after betrayal. Colette shares her personal journey from childhood trauma to relationship betrayal, and how these experiences shaped her understanding of healthy communication and the devastating cost of staying quiet.  Key Topics Discussed  The Origins of Conflict Avoidance  How childhood experiences with parental conflict shape our relationship patterns  The difference between destructive conflict (screaming, fighting) and constructive conflict (honest, vulnerable communication)  Why some people mistake silence and "keeping the peace" for relationship health  The concept of parentification and how it impacts adult relationships  Understanding "The Cost of Quiet"  Quiet as a euphemism for conflict avoidance  Different forms of conflict avoidance that people don't recognize:  Self-silencing and sweeping things under the rug  Criticism disguised as "expressing feelings"  Bickering about surface issues instead of deeper needs  Why avoiding vulnerability doesn't actually protect you from pain  The Four Bad Communication Report Card Responses (The Four D's and an F)  Dismissiveness - "It's no big deal, why are you so upset?"  Defensiveness - Getting reactive instead of receptive  Distancing - Shutting down, stonewalling, pulling away  Fixing - Problem-solving instead of listening and connecting  Vulnerability as Strength  Why vulnerability is actually the strongest choice you can make  How to build the courage to be vulnerable after betrayal  Connecting with your inner child before difficult conversations  The only way through fear is action—building the vulnerability muscle  Self-Connected Communication  The importance of I-statements over you-statements  Connecting to deeper emotional needs beyond surface complaints  Speaking from your "core sage self" (wise, loving adult) rather than reactive parts  The distinction between being nice (self-abandoning) and being kind (self-honoring)  When to Speak Up  Why waiting longer than 24 hours allows resentment to grow  Common excuses that keep us from addressing issues (wrong time, they're tired, etc.)  Most conversations don't need to be long—short, clear, vulnerable statements work best  You can't control your partner's response, but you can control showing up for yourself  Building the Assertiveness Muscle  Why successful women often struggle with assertiveness in intimate relationships  Starting small with low-stakes vulnerable moments  The confidence boost that comes from speaking your truth  How assertiveness differs from aggressiveness  The Meta-Conversation Strategy When your partner repeatedly responds poorly to vulnerability: "I notice that I try to bring up things and share my feelings. I'm taking great effort to say things in a way that's tactful and diplomatic, but honest, and it seems like when I do, I get a defensive or dismissive response. I don't really know where to go from here. Have you noticed that? What's going on with you? Are you willing to work on this with me?"  Signs It's Working  Reduction in fear when bringing up difficult topics  Growing confidence in expressing yourself  Your partner responding with openness rather than defensiveness  Feeling closer and more connected after vulnerable conversations  Even if they don't respond well—you're getting information faster and can make empowered choices  After Betrayal: Special Considerations  Why vulnerability feels especially terrifying after intimate partner betrayal  The connection to Stage 3 of the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough (doing the same thing expecting different results)  How moving into Stages 4 and 5 requires having uncomfortable conversations  Being vulnerable doesn't guarantee you won't get hurt, but not being vulnerable guarantees disconnection  Vulnerability helps you discover more quickly what a relationship will or won't give you  Powerful Quotes from the Episode  "Being in a relationship is inherently unsafe. It is a risk. But if you're willing to be vulnerable, you're going to find out more quickly what a relationship will and will not give you, and you can make choices that empower and serve your needs."  "It's actually not about the coffee cup. It's about the fact that lately I feel like I'm communicating with you and you're not hearing me, and that makes me feel inside—my vulnerable part feels like I'm not important to you."  "You've got to speak up no matter what. I don't care how you were raised, what part of the country, what your personality was, who your partner is. This is something you do for you."  "Vulnerability is strength, but it is very, very scary. We could be rejected or abandoned. But the only way through fear is by doing—action in the face of fear is what develops the muscle."  "If your partner is repeatedly not listening, being dismissive, being defensive, then maybe that tells you something about, 'Do I want to invest in this relationship?' But if you're not being vulnerable and clear, then you're contributing to what's not working."  "The point of feelings, the point of emotion, is that they're information processing signals that point us to our needs."  "If you're going to bother to try to improve this relationship, we can't have anything better based on just fear of even speaking up."  Colette's Personal Journey  Childhood Experience:  Idyllic childhood until age 10 when parents' marriage began deteriorating  Parents (lawyer mother, doctor father) engaged in epic daily fighting  Dealt with parental infidelity and eventual divorce  Became parentified—taking on emotional mediator role inappropriate for her age  Made meaning that she had to rely on herself because adults couldn't care for her properly  Rebelled against Catholic school environment as a way of coping  First Marriage:  Married someone from a conflict-avoidant Southern family  Partner was emotionally unavailable and disconnected  When she tried to express feelings, received dismissive, defensive, or distancing responses  Learned to silence herself to "keep the peace"  Marriage failed after having children, leading her to return to graduate school  Path to Her Work:  Bad experience in marriage counseling inspired her to become a marriage counselor  Spent 11 years between marriages dating and experiencing significant betrayals  Been cheated on by two partners in ways that "gutted" her  Now in second marriage of 9 years (together 12 years)  Uses EMDR therapy in her practice  Wrote "The Cost of Quiet" to provide a preventative roadmap for others  Practical Takeaways  Connect with your inner child before vulnerable conversations - Acknowledge the fear, reassure yourself you've got your own back no matter the outcome  Use the template for vulnerable communication:  Start small with low-stakes topics  Use I-statements, not you-statements  Speak to deeper needs, not just surface complaints  Be specific about what you need  Address issues within 24 hours - Don't let resentment build by waiting for the "perfect time"  Watch for your own conflict avoidance patterns:  Are you criticizing instead of being vulnerable?  Are you bickering about surface issues?  Are you staying silent to keep the peace?  Remember: Vulnerability invites vulnerability - When you show up authentically, you often get authenticity back  Let go of trying to control your partner's response - You can't manage how they'll react, but you can show up for yourself  Apply this skill everywhere - Practice assertive, vulnerable communication in all relationships, not just romantic ones  Resources  Connect with Colette Fehr:  Website: ColetteFehr.com   Instagram: @ColetteJaneFehr  TikTok: @ColetteJaneFehr  Book: "The Cost of Quiet" (available on her website and wherever books are sold)  Podcasts:  "Insights from the Couch" (for women at midlife)  "Love Thy Neighbor" (all about relationships)  For Post Betrayal Syndrome® Recovery:  Learn more about the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™  Visit The PBT Institute for resources on healing from betrayal and becoming a Certified PBT Coach or Practitioner  Episode Themes  #Communication #VulnerabilityIsStrength #BetrayalRecovery #HealthyRelationships #ConflictResolution #EmotionalIntelligence #Assertiveness #InnerChildWork #RelationshipHealing #SelfAdvocacy #TheCostOfQuiet 

You feel it when your estranged (or formerly estranged) adult child is in the room. The conversation is surface-level. You second-guess everything. You remind yourself, "I have to be careful." "Walking on eggshells" is a common experience for parents of estranged adult children, especially during the reconciliation phase of estrangement. Parents might not know exactly why their child became distant, but they want to keep it from happening again.  Some parents feel afraid of making their child angry. They desperately want to avoid conflict, even while wishing for more closeness. They're caught between fear and longing. Almost all parents feel awkward after estrangement, as they embrace different skills and behaviors for the first time. The journey from "conscious incompetence" to "conscious competence" and beyond, can be long. Ongoing tension can be expected after estrangement, in the context of your personal history. And there may be no getting around that walking-on-eggshells feeling for a while. But parents who can recognize, understand, and tolerate it might have an easier time.

Nick Reiner was under court-ordered conservatorship in 2020. A judge declared him "gravely disabled." Licensed fiduciary Steven Baer controlled his treatment. The Reiners obtained the most restrictive mental health intervention California law allows. It lasted one year. Four years later, both parents are dead—allegedly killed by the son they fought to help.The devastating loophole: under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer qualify as "gravely disabled." The Reiners may have lost the conservatorship not because Nick got better—but because they kept caring for him. The system forces families into an impossible choice: abandon your child or lose legal authority to force treatment.We trace the timeline: 2019 police calls to the Reiner home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship under Steven Baer that ended after one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we examine why Baer will almost certainly testify—and what his testimony means for Nick's defense.But the Reiner tragedy exposes a sixty-year failure. Before California's 1967 Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, families could petition courts to hospitalize violent, psychotic relatives. That system is gone. Today, someone can be paranoid, delusional, and dangerous but still walk free if they can say where they're going to sleep. California went from 37,000 patients in state psychiatric hospitals to fewer than 1,500 on involuntary conservatorships. Where did the patients go? The streets. The jails. Family homes where they became ticking time bombs.The Reiners reportedly spent vast sums on treatment. None of it mattered. The system finally has authority to hold their son—but it took two bodies to get him there.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #LPSConservatorship #TrueCrimeToday #StevenBaer #Deinstitutionalization #CaliforniaLaw #MentalHealthLaw #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking it all down live: Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered LPS conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him "gravely disabled." A licensed fiduciary—Steven Baer—controlled his treatment decisions. He could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. California gave the Reiners everything the law allows. One year later, it was gone. Four years later, Rob and Michele Reiner are dead.The loophole nobody's discussing: under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer meet the "gravely disabled" standard. The very act of caring for your child can disqualify them from forced treatment. The Reiners may have lost legal authority over their son's care because they refused to abandon him.We're examining the timeline in detail: 2019 police calls to the Reiner home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship that lasted just one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we're breaking down why former conservator Steven Baer will almost certainly be called as a witness—what he knows, what he'll likely testify to, and how it affects Nick's defense.This case forces a larger conversation. Before 1967, families could petition courts to hospitalize psychotic relatives. California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act dismantled that system. The state went from housing 37,000 patients in psychiatric hospitals to fewer than 1,500 people on involuntary conservatorships today. The Reiners reportedly tried everything—more than a dozen facilities, the best doctors money could buy. None of it mattered because families cannot initiate conservatorships. Only hospital staff can.Join us live as we ask the question nobody wants to answer: did we trade one form of cruelty for another?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #LPSConservatorship #HiddenKillersLive #StevenBaer #Deinstitutionalization #CaliforniaLaw #LiveBreakdown #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

#683: Candy now — or a toy later? You slide play money across the table and let your kid choose. That moment kicks off this episode, where Dr. Stephen Day joins us to talk about building a “mini economy” at home.  Dr. Day is the director of the Center for Economic Education at Virginia Commonwealth University. He also holds a PhD in social studies and economics curriculum and instruction. His work looks at how kids form money habits long before they deal with real paychecks, budgets, or credit cards. We break down how a mini economy actually works. Kids have job titles tied to age-appropriate chores. They earn play money. They spend it at a small household store set up on the kitchen table. The store might sell candy, small toys, or privileges like extra screen time. Parents set the prices. Kids decide whether to spend right away or save for something bigger. You hear how this plays out inside Day's own house. A three-year-old takes on the role of “zookeeper,” feeding the cat and picking up stuffed animals. A seven-year-old creates a weekly plan that alternates spending and saving, using patterns she learns at school. A five-year-old chooses to donate part of his earnings instead of spending anything. The system stays the same. The choices vary by kid. The conversation moves through childhood stage by stage. Early years center on routine, structure, and basic trade-offs. Elementary school becomes the key period for practice, when habits and norms take shape. Middle and high school bring longer planning timelines, more independence, and deeper conversations about work, contribution, and goals. We also dig into questions parents ask all the time. Should kids get paid for chores, or should chores come with living in the house? Day explains how families can separate family work, paid jobs, and service work so kids understand why they are doing each task. Clear categories help avoid confusion about motivation and responsibility. Busy schedules come up, too. Sports practices, travel, school events, and late workdays often knock chore systems off track. Day explains how vague expectations create conflict and why job titles and defined duties bring structure even during chaotic weeks. Throughout the episode, the focus stays on practice, not lectures. Kids do not learn money by hearing explanations. They learn by earning, choosing, saving, spending, and living with trade-offs — all inside a system small enough to fit on a kitchen table.

Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://fitaxguy.com/2020/08/ Quotes to ponder: "It is often best to work with a lawyer to transfer the primary residence to a revocable living trust." "The best thing about a revocable living trust: as long as the grantor(s) is/are alive, the trust is fully revocable! So mistakes can be easily fixed." "Parents placing their primary residence in their own revocable living trust does not necessitate the filing of a federal gift tax return (Form 709)."

Shellee Howard is on the show today to talk how to do college without crushign debt for your kids. She shares how her journey as a "mom on a mission" led her to help families navigate the college process strategically, emphasizing early preparation, self-discovery, and return on investment rather than prestige alone. She explains why overcrowded school counselors fall short, how students should clarify their values, talents, and career goals before choosing colleges, and why college should be viewed as a business decision and a stepping stone to adulthood, and not a status symbol. With the right planning, families can avoid debt, maximize scholarships, and choose schools that truly align with a student's future goals. We discuss...  Shellee Howard explained how her experience guiding her own children to graduate college debt-free inspired her career as an independent college consultant. She described why high school guidance counselors are often unable to provide comprehensive college planning due to overcrowding and competing responsibilities. The discussion emphasized starting college preparation early by helping students identify their core values, strengths, and long-term interests rather than focusing only on grades or test scores. Shellee stressed that college readiness is about preparing for adulthood, not chasing prestige or comparing against other families. We explore how poor financial literacy leads many students to take on unnecessary debt without understanding return on investment. Shellee argued that college is a business decision and should be evaluated like an investment, with scholarships, fit, and outcomes prioritized over name recognition alone. Many students are not ready at 18 to make high-stakes decisions and why exploration through service, internships, and extracurriculars matters. The value of college branding versus actual educational and career outcomes are debated, with examples showing that different paths work for different students. Shellee outlined key timing considerations, including the critical importance of middle school and early high school years for maximizing opportunity and financial aid. Parents were encouraged to stay actively involved in guiding their children rather than leaving major financial and life decisions to teenagers.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Christie Black and Matt Black, Illinois homeschool parents who became grassroots leaders in the fight against a proposed state mandate that would have forced homeschooling families to register with the government—backed by fines and even jail time for parents who failed to comply. They explain why the proposal represented serious government overreach and how vague enforcement powers could have punished families over paperwork instead of protecting children. Christie and Matt also describe how homeschool families across Illinois mobilized at an unprecedented scale, pushing back through testimony, witness slips, letters, and in-person advocacy at the state Capitol. Their story shows how ordinary parents, students, and communities can successfully stand up to government mandates and defend parental rights, educational freedom, and limited government.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

Susie shares the story of Andrea Yates, the woman who killed her five children, and the religious beliefs that made her think she should. Susie is worked up about how grandparents now insist on being called all kinds of weird names and Sarah's got a theory about why they don't want to be called "grandma." We discuss the abundance of "service" dogs on planes and the reasons people bend the rules to get their dog on board, and why it's the airlines's fault. And we hear about two babies who were switched at birth and it wasn't discovered until they were two years old, and the moms had to decide whether to switch them back or not!
