For many native Hawaiians, the centerpiece of just about any New Year's celebration is onaga, a fish that's also known as ruby snapper or longtail red snapper. It's served at everything from weddings to birthdays, but it's especially popular at year-end celebrations—in part because it's a symbol of good fortune. It's prized for its light pink flesh, mild flavor, and its texture—all of which are considered just right for sashimi. Onaga is one of the “deep seven” bottomfish—a culturally important group that includes six species of snapper and one species of grouper. All seven species are found throughout the Hawaiian Islands. A snapper known as ‘ōpakapaka is the most common, accounting for about half of the annual catch. Onaga ranks second. Adult onaga generally are about two to two-and-a-half feet long and weigh up to about 18 pounds, although they can grow to twice that weight. The top half of the body is red or pink, while the underside is white. The fish are found above rocky sea floors throughout the tropical Pacific Ocean, usually at depths of no more than a thousand feet.             Commercial fishing decimated many of the bottomfish stocks during the middle of the 20th century. Today, the bottomfish are protected by both state and federal regulations. Commercial fishers are limited to hook-and-sinker operations—no nets allowed. That's helped the population rebound—ensuring happy New Year celebrations for years to come. The post Holiday Greetings appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

As the holidays approach, parenting teens and adult kids can bring up for us a wish for more ease, more connection, and a way to let go without feeling like you're losing yourself or your relationship with your kids. In this episode, I share three powerful gifts you can give yourself that will change how you experience this stage of motherhood. We'll explore what it means to stop taking responsibility for other people's emotions, how to stay connected to your teen without conditions or expectations, and why treating yourself with compassion is essential as you navigate the emotional shifts of letting go. If you've been feeling drained, stuck, or unsure how to show up as your role as a mom evolves, this conversation will help you approach parenting teens — and the empty nest ahead — with more intention and emotional freedom. These simple but meaningful shifts can transform not just the holiday season, but the way this next chapter of motherhood feels.

What if the real scoreboard for fatherhood isn't your bank account, your job title, or your kids' trophies—but how much your adult kids actually want to spend time with you? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Tim Campbell, an 82-year-old father, author, and living example of what long-term connection and trust with your kids can look like—even after a lifetime of hardship.   Tim shares his journey of being married for 50 years, raising three children—two with significant disabilities—and navigating medical crises, bullying, fear, and exhaustion that would have broken most families. We talk about growing up with a Marine father who lacked emotional tools, the moment Tim realized he had become the dad he swore he'd never be, and how he rebuilt trust one moment at a time. This episode is a masterclass in breaking generational patterns, showing up authentically, and understanding why trust is the real gold in fatherhood.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Rethinking the true scoreboard of fatherhood and legacy. [1:20] Introducing Tim Campbell and his 50-year marriage. [2:19] Raising three kids, two with significant disabilities, and surviving medical crises. [3:09] Why trust and connection are the biggest themes of Tim's fatherhood journey. [3:29] Growing up with a Marine father and limited emotional connection. [4:16] How crisis can either weld a marriage together or tear it apart. [4:41] Tim introduces his book Holding Up the Sky. [5:02] Writing a healing, imaginary conversation with his late father. [7:00] How trauma early in marriage revealed character and long-term strength. [8:25] Learning you don't have to win every argument to win the long game. [12:23] Vowing to break generational patterns from his own childhood. [14:09] Wanting to be a better dad—but not knowing how at first. [16:24] Realizing fear turned him into the father he never wanted to be. [17:11] A breaking-point moment that forced real change. [18:19] Why leveling with your kids builds trust during hard moments. [18:52] Learning from the next generation, not just the previous one. [21:17] Larry shares his own parenting experience with a child with disabilities. [22:44] A bullying moment involving Tim's son and how he responded. [23:45] "Trust is the real gold" and how it compounds over time. [24:41] Parenting adult children with disabilities and letting go. [26:23] Knowing you did fatherhood right when adult kids still want connection. [28:16] Revisiting the final chapter of Holding Up the Sky. [30:58] Imagining his father's response and finding peace. [33:06] Authenticity, masks, and being human with your kids. [36:01] Why sharing your own childhood stories builds instant connection. [37:13] Where to find Tim, his book, and additional resources.     Five Key Takeaways Trust is the real currency of fatherhood. It opens the door to love, communication, and long-term connection.  Crisis reveals character. Hard seasons can either fracture a family or weld it together depending on how we show up.  Fear can turn us into the parent we swore we'd never be if we don't consciously course-correct.  Getting down to your child's level—literally and emotionally—builds safety and trust.  Adult children choosing to stay connected is the truest measure of success.      Links & Resources Tim Campbell's Book — Holding Up the Sky: https://holdingupthesky.net Tim Campbell Website: https://timcampbellodysseys.net Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1416 Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark   Closing Remark If this episode reminded you what really matters in fatherhood, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast. And remember—titles fade, money comes and goes, but trust with your kids is the gold that lasts a lifetime.

This week we go back in time 2 years to review a recent paper from 2023 about outcomes of cardiac transplantation in the adult congenital heart patient (ACHD). Little has been written on this topic until this very robust and large scale report. How do single ventricle ACHD patients fair at transplant and how do they compare to non-ACHD heart transplant recipients? Why might 1 and 3 year outcomes not be a 'fair' method of assessing outcomes in this very high risk patient group? How do HLHS patient outcomes compare with other single ventricles? Are there better ways to measure risk in this patient group and how might the data in this work inform risk stratification and management of failing Fontan patients in whom transplantation is being considered? These are amongst the questions posed this week to the week's expert, Dr Daphne Hsu who is Professor of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2023.06.037For those interested in learning more about Dr. Hsu, take a listen to episode #166 from June, 2021:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/pediheart-podcast-166-a-conversation-with-professor-daphne-hsu--45144274

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When your journey with a child's substance use stretches into its second decade, you enter what we loving call "warrior mom" (or parent) territory – a place where endurance meets wisdom, and self-preservation becomes an art form. Today's conversation with Hopestream co-founder, Cathy, honors these battle-tested parents who've been navigating their adult children's challenges for ten, fifteen, even twenty years or more.This isn't an advice-filled episode - because more advice isn't what you need. It's a raw, honest dialogue between two mothers who know the unique terrain of loving a child through active use, high-risk lifestyles, homelessness, incarceration, and the revolving door of recovery and relapse. Cathy shares her own marathon story, including driving hundreds of miles to share picnics with her daughter – a simple act of presence that seemed insignificant (and ineffective) at the time but later proved transformative. You'll hear:Why "handing over a shift" to a higher power becomes essential for sustainable parenting through decades of struggleHow warrior parents navigate the delicate dance of support versus enabling when adult children face eviction, homelessness, or legal troublesThe unexpected and seemingly counterintuitive renewal that comes from serving othersWhy those seemingly fruitless gestures of connection (like Cathy's picnics) create an energetic contract that transcends the immediate momentThe liberating truth about our children's remarkable resourcefulness when stability disappears and traditional safety nets failThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Navigating life with Adult ADHD often feels like operating in constant "survival mode." In this episode, Dave talks about why awareness is the non-negotiable starting point for meaningful change, acting as a powerful doorway to separating your ADHD wiring from perceived personal flaws. Instead of focusing solely on deficits, we explore how to leverage your unique strengths—like high energy, creativity, and resilience, while creating personalized strategies to manage common challenges like time blindness and task initiation. Most importantly, learn why self-compassion is a crucial performance enhancer and how setting realistic expectations through "micro-adjustments" is the key to rebuilding self-trust and finding lasting clarity. Awareness as the Doorway to Thriving: Learn why you "can't fix what you can't see" and how working with a coach, mentor, or trusted friend can help you build awareness to reduce shame and increase agency. Leveraging ADHD Strengths: Identify your unique assets, including high energy, creativity, and hyperfocus, and consider how to intentionally do more of what you're naturally good at. Pinpointing Pain Points: Strategically look for daily "friction points" where things consistently fall apart to create a roadmap for change, whether the stress comes from work, family, or unclear priorities. Reviewing Systems vs. Memory: Discuss the common trap of relying on memory, adrenaline, and urgency. Assess whether you have (or have abandoned) task capture systems, effective calendars, and a way to manage energy. The Power of Self-Compassion: Understand why harsh self-talk is a major roadblock and how introducing self-compassion can become a powerful performance enhancer, improving clarity and progress. Building Trust With Yourself: Learn how awareness leads to action, and action builds self-trust. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

The Art of Keeping Things Separate This topic comes up more than people admit. Usually in a whisper. Or an email that starts with, "This might be a weird question…" It's not weird. It's just complicated. A lot of actors are working in NSFW or spicy spaces. Erotica audiobooks. Adult games. ASMR. OnlyFans. Patreon. Sensual storytelling. And at the same time, they're booking e-learning, commercials, family-friendly narration, children's content. The work itself isn't the problem. The overlap is. So I want to talk about how to keep those worlds separate in a way that's professional, grounded, and sane. Not from a morality angle. From a business one. Why This Feels So Loaded Most of the discomfort doesn't come from the work. It comes from fear. Fear of being judged. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear that one client will see something they weren't meant to see and make a snap decision about you. And honestly? That fear isn't irrational. Algorithms don't understand nuance. Brand managers don't scroll thoughtfully. Google definitely doesn't care about context. So when people ask, "Should I be hiding this?" what they're really asking is, "How do I protect my career without betraying myself?" That's the real question. What Separation Actually Is Separating your spicy work is not about shame. It's about clarity. You're not hiding your art. You're organizing it. Just like authors use different names for different genres, actors can use separate identities for separate audiences. A pseudonym. A distinct brand. A different website, email, and social presence. Both are real. Both are you. They just serve different people. When everything lives in one place, clients get confused. And confused clients don't book. Clear clients do. The Practical Line in the Sand A few things matter more than people realize. Separate branding. Different headshots, colors, fonts, tone. If one side of your work says PBS and the other says sultry midnight headphones, they should not look related. Separate metadata. File names, tags, credits. This is where people accidentally connect dots they never meant to connect. Separate systems. Emails. Phone numbers. Invoicing if you can. Boundaries get easier when logistics support them. None of this makes you secretive. It makes you intentional. When the Worlds Almost Touch This is the moment that spikes everyone's nervous system. Someone recognizes your voice. A link gets shared accidentally. A client stumbles across something unexpected. Here's the rule. Don't panic. If you're comfortable acknowledging it, a simple line works: "I work in multiple genres under different names to keep my projects organized." That's it. No explanation tour. No justification. You're allowed to run your business like a business. And if you're not comfortable bridging those worlds, quiet consistency does the work for you. No cross-linking. No wink-wink posts. No mixing lanes just this once. Something We Don't Talk About Enough Adult performance work can take real emotional energy. Just like screaming in video games. Just like intense drama. Just like anything that asks your nervous system to open. So recovery matters. Boundaries matter. Choice matters. Doing one kind of spicy work does not obligate you to do all of it. Your comfort line is allowed to move, but it's also allowed to exist. Take care of the system holding all of this. One artist. One body. One brain. A Thought I'm Sitting With People assume separation means being two different people. I don't see it that way. I see one whole artist with range and boundaries. Different lighting. Different outfits. Same integrity. The goal isn't secrecy. It's sovereignty. You decide who sees what, where, and when. That's not avoidance. That's professionalism.

It would be great if our kids were naturally buddies, if there were never times of conflict, bullying, and general unlikability. But that's not real life. AllMomDoes host Julie Lyles Carr tackles your question about how to help our kids (and ourselves) with our sibling relationships.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4adZYiQTakeaways:Sibling relationships are foundational to family dynamics.Fairness in parenting can shape sibling relationships positively.Teaching conflict resolution is crucial for healthy sibling interactions.Adult sibling relationships can be complicated and require clear communication.Repairing relationships after conflict is essential for long-term harmony.Modeling healthy relationships helps children navigate their own.Acknowledging unfair situations can reduce resentment among siblings.Parents should avoid favoritism to maintain sibling bonds.Encouraging independence in sibling relationships fosters stronger connections.Seeking professional help can provide tools for managing difficult sibling dynamics.Sound Bites:"That's so weird.

I'm worried my teen will ruin the holiday for me. Even saying that out loud feels uncomfortable. But if you're parenting teens or adult kids, you've probably had some version of this thought at one point or another. The holidays can magnify distance, tension, and unmet expectations, leaving us bracing for moods instead of enjoying the moments we hoped would feel meaningful. In this episode, I explore what's really underneath that fear. It's not about your teen being difficult — it's about how easily we tie our sense of connection and peace to how our kids show up. I'll explore the mindset trap of emotional outsourcing, why connection starts to feel conditional in this phase of motherhood, and how letting go can feel both necessary and terrifying at the same time. Join me to learn how to create connection without waiting for your teen to meet you halfway, and how to let go of the belief that your child gets to decide whether the holidays — or your relationship — feel good.
