Don't stress over parenting advice, as much of it is based on clickbait, panic, and outdated science.In this episode, we hear from science journalists and experts Melinda Wenner Moyer, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, Jacqueline Nesi in a conversation with Emily on how to spot actual, trustworthy parenting guidance amid all the online noise.Dismantling the myth of the "one-size-fits-all" approach, they explain why classic research was always meant to be flexible and why anyone claiming there is only one right way is usually just selling something. You'll also learn about the deep flaws in historical parenting studies and what modern research is getting right, as well as the viral panic surrounding screen time, extreme media narratives, and the real risks AI companions pose to kids' emotional growth. If you'd appreciate a reassuring, reality-based sanity check on modern parenting so you can tune out the fear and focus on what actually works for your family, tune in for this episode on Parenting Science in the Media.Listen and Learn: How parenting advice moved past simple "good vs. bad" rules to look at how things like culture, environment, and everyday context actually shape what works Calling out rigid parenting advice, spotting the red flags, and breaking down why real child science actually depends on the contextBiases in parenting science and leaning into "goodness of fit" to figure out what actually works for your specific kid How nuanced, multi-method science often gets distorted by media algorithms and fear-based messaging and how to spot misleading science headlines How kids are actively using AI, why vulnerable or unfulfilled kids are most at risk of over-dependence, and how parents can guide their children through open communication rather than strict bans Positive trends in youth resilience and self-control, how modern parenting shifts drive these improvements, and why adults in every generation fall victim to the cognitive bias that "kids these days" are doomed Resources:  jacquelinenesi.com melindawennermoyer.com https://www.tracydennistiwary.com/ technosapiens.substack.com https://tracydennistiwary.substack.com melindawmoyer.substack.com.

Alligators and Assholes: Surviving the Chaos of Real Estate Investing Ever have one of those Mondays where absolutely nothing goes right? Software glitched, vendors dropped the ball, closings got delayed, and everyone is dragging their feet. Welcome to the reality of the current real estate market! In this raw and unfiltered episode of Money Monday, we are diving deep into how to navigate the "case of the Mondays" that seems to be sweeping the entire industry right now. If you are feeling the pinch, experiencing massive financial stress, or watching your rehabs and property listings sit on the market longer than expected—you are not alone. We are at the mid-year mark, and it is time to stop drifting, cut the distractions, and take control of your business. Grab a glass of iced tea (or something stronger!), take a deep breath, and let's talk about how to survive the chaos, refocus your strategies, and push through to the finish line. What We Cover in This Episode:Navigating Market Friction: Why deals are dragging out, closings are being delayed, and how to maintain grace when things don't go according to plan. The Danger of Drifting: How freedom can strangle an entrepreneur if you lack discipline, focus, and a daily schedule. The Reality of 100% Capital Loss: A look at recent high-profile multifamily losses in Houston and why market stress is peaking. Taking Back the Reins: When to fire underperforming vendors or realtors and roll up your sleeves to get the job done yourself. Mid-Year Goal Assessment: An honest look at evaluating your 6-month progress, adjusting your targets, and cutting out expensive "automation tools" that aren't hitting your bottom line. Stop Riding on One Investor: Why relying on a single source of private capital is stalling your growth, and the absolute necessity of marketing for money. The "Alligators & Assholes" Philosophy: How to step back, avoid burnout, protect your mental health, and use things like high school baseball or a simple walk to hit the reset button. Upcoming Opportunities: Exclusive updates on the upcoming Marketing for Money class and the highly anticipated Shadow Inventory Roadshow hitting distressed assets across the country. Quotes Worth Sharing:"The Good Lord doesn't give us anything we can't handle, but the devil absolutely gives us distractions to keep us from being efficient." At the end of the day, real estate investing is an act of grit. If your results are frustrating you, it's time to audit your action steps—because a perfect business plan means nothing if you aren't making offers.

Assholes, stalkers, pervs, trolls and censorious bullies – the favorite prey of Cheryl's hungry pack of lawyers - and they already have their teeth into the tender parts of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's hypocritical PR charity, Rapid Relief Team. Join us for a rundown on the astonishing events of the past fortnight, as the Rapid Relief Team's malicious and dishonest attack is turned round and the PBCC get a hefty dose of their own medicine. We dig into the PBCC's history of vicious SLAPPS and censorship, and show that the morally bankrupt Brown Rudnick lawyers Charlotte Harris, and her shameless sidekick, Katy-Jade Church are the perps in this callous scheme, as in many other cold-blooded attacks on ex-members previously. We take a look at renowned copyright expert and university professor Michal Graif, who is still struggling to understand the basic IP concept of “fair use”. Finally, we invite you join us by Zoom in the California courtroom, where the first episode of this True Crime drama will play out.

In today's episode, we are excited to be joined by Melinda Wenner Moyer. Melinda Wenner Moyer is a contributing editor at Scientific American magazine and a regular contributor to The New York Times, Washington Post, and other national magazines and newspapers. She is a faculty member in the Science, Health & Environmental Reporting program at NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. Her first book, How To Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes, was published in July 2021 by J.P. Putnam's Sons. We speak with Melinda on her research, publications, and being a mother. We also discuss how she and other journalists can help parents wade through the large amounts of data and information on parenting and child development that is now available. You can learn more about Melinda and her research, as well as order her book and subscribe to her newsletter at melindawennermoyer.com.

In this episode, we dive into our latest book club pick, How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes by Melinda Wenner Moyer.  The title alone was enough to get our attention. We talk about the research behind raising kind, ethical, community-minded kids and what that actually looks like in real life (not the Instagram version). From empathy and honesty to privilege, accountability, and modeling the behavior we hope to see, we unpack the ideas that resonated with us, the parts that challenged us, and how it all applies to messy, imperfect homeschooling families just trying to raise decent humans. If you've ever wondered whether you're getting it right - or just hope your kids grow up to be good people - this conversation is for you.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you're not navigating this alone.

In this episode, Shaun and Rebecca are joined by returning favorites Heather of Heather KW Styles and Lauren of Studio Laloc for an unfiltered designer roundtable. What starts as a chat about Danish hardware and custom furniture quickly spirals into tariffs, turning down nightmare projects, presentation strategies, ideal clients, and—yes—an unforgettable handyman story.From navigating red flags on discovery calls to debating whether we'd decorate a Miami Vice mansion for the right price, this episode is equal parts business strategy and design therapy. If you've ever questioned a client fit, struggled with pricing under tariffs, or wondered how other designers hold their boundaries, this one's for you.In this episode they discuss:Why presenting one strong design concept can lead to fewer revisions and stronger client trustHow tariffs are impacting pricing, sourcing, and designer-client conversations in real timeWhen it's smart (and necessary) to turn down a high-paying projectThe red flags that show up during discovery calls—and how to handle them professionallyWhy ideal clients often have collections, strong opinions, and shared valuesFlat fee vs. hourly structures and how that affects presentation strategyThe power of designer friendships and creative accountability groupsA truly unhinged handyman story that proves vetting referrals mattersMentioned:Studio Laloc (https://www.studiolaloc.com/)Heather KW Styles (https://www.heatherkwstyles.com/)Our links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop

Is there actually a “right” way to homeschool? In this episode, we cut through the homeschool aesthetics, color-coded schedules, and curriculum debates to talk about what truly matters - and what absolutely doesn't. We unpack the non-negotiables (safety, accountability, and avoiding abuse or neglect) and redefine homeschool success as growth, mental health, curiosity, and preparation for real adulthood… not perfect grades or performative achievement. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by comparison or unsure if you're “doing enough,” this conversation will ground you in what actually counts and remind you that raising safe, capable, emotionally healthy humans is the real goal.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

Misfits Makin' It is the podcast component of the misfit comedy shows produced by Lauren LoGiudice. Show dates and info at www.laurenlogiudice.com In this episode Lauren chats with with producer and First AD Drew Langer about the real grind behind great filmmaking. We talk about what he learned working alongside creatives like Jay Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Lynn Shelton, Bridget Everett, and Michael Strassner. Drew shares how creative tribes are built, why the Duplass motto is “no assholes,” and how kindness and preparation make for the best sets. We focus on Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Somebody Somewhere, and The Baltimorons, exploring the courage it takes to choose sincerity over spectacle. It's a candid conversation about collaboration, humility, refining your craft, and why — as Drew puts it — the end result is just evidence of the grind.

This episode is a continuation of last week's conversation with Tess from the Coalition for Responsible Home Education… only this time, it's just us digging deeper. We take on the lightning-rod topic of homeschool regulation, talk kids' rights vs. parents' rights, and unpack why the lack of oversight in many states is a real problem. We also explore how weak regulation creates space for abuse, misinformation, and the rise of Christian nationalism within the homeschool movement. As always, we're here for nuance, not fear-mongering, and we believe homeschooling can be both freeing and accountable. We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

Trevor and Eugene go wild with world-class explorer and nature documentarian Bertie Gregory to tackle one of life's most important questions: are animals assholes? From whale poop and chimp gangs to elephant stepdads and guanaco hunts, Bertie pulls back the curtain on the animal kingdom's messiest, funniest dramas—before landing on the surprisingly moving truth about climate change and what's at stake….for them, for our planet, and for us.

The news has felt heavy – every headline, story, and social media feed flooded with situations we don't always know how to talk about at home. Still, kids are always watching and observing how adults respond to these big moments. How do we talk about these hard things without sugarcoating or panicking? And how do we provide tools they need to feel safer, grounded, and maybe even hopeful? Host Elise Hu is joined by Melinda Wenner Moyer, author of How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes and Hello, Cruel World! to talk about the ins and outs of helping kids process tough events. Melinda breaks down what coping skills are and practical tips for starting conversations built on honesty, active listening, and curiosity. From choosing the right moment to talk, to knowing when to step back and simply listen, Melinda shares her best research-backed strategies for supporting kids when the world feels overwhelming. Key TakeawaysPractice pausing, reflecting, and building your own opinions, knowing it's okay if those opinions change.Give your child space to feel, process, and work through “negative” emotions.Recognize kids can handle more than we give them credit for.Own not knowing everything; offer future conversations, or a chance to research together.Take opportunities to research current events with your child to build their media literacy skills.⏱️ Timestamps:Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guide: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/140a0a096b14eb65/a75c6db8d7111390Follow Melinda Wenner Moyer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melindawmoyerNew episodes every Tuesday:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AKidsCoApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-us-a-parenting-podcast/id1552286967Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2bIRVxM8hbriNxydkSv6VGOr wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, we go straight at the question everyone's thinking but nobody wants to say out loud: Are people just assholes? And our answer is… usually, no. Most people aren't out here trying to ruin your life—they're operating with zero interpersonal skills, low self-awareness, and a whole lot of unhealed triggers.   We break down why labeling someone as “an asshole” is lazy (and honestly, it keeps you stuck), how conflict avoidance quietly destroys relationships and businesses, and why the real flex is learning to pause, collect data, and take radical responsibility—even when your ego wants to make someone else the villain.   #IntegrativeYouRadio #HumanBehavior #EmotionalIntelligence #HealthyCommunication #RelationshipSkills #ConflictResolution #RadicalResponsibility #PersonalGrowthJourney #MindsetWork #TraumaHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #Triggers #SelfAwareness #Boundaries #ConsciousRelationships #LeadershipMindset #FamilyDynamics #HighPerformanceHabits #ValuesDrivenLife #HealingWork #SelfMastery #IntegrativeHealth #MindBodyConnection #GrowthMindset #LegacyLiving   3 Key Takeaways: Labels kill nuance (and keep you suffering). When you slap “asshole” on someone, your brain starts hunting for proof—and suddenly you can't see anything else about them (or the situation). Most “asshole behavior” is unskilled behavior. People avoid hard conversations, don't know how to communicate compassionately, and don't understand their own needs—so they act out, explode, ghost, betray, or sabotage. The way out is radical responsibility + objective “data.” Don't try to fix people while you're triggered. Pause. Ask better questions. Create space for real check-ins (like a business would). That's how you stop repeating the same painful patterns.    Quotes:  “Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied.” “You're not the villain in their story—you represent the parts of them that are unhealed.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

Zo ends up in yet another galaxy far, far, far, far away. By his reconning he's at the furthest galaxy, yet. Here there are no galaxy spanning empires, but their is a planet with a failing atmosphere and a massive military. Instead of putting forward policies that would save the environment of his world President Skroob would rather steal the atmosphere from a planet with a weaker military. The power disparity between his planet and the planet that he plans to attack is so great that it doesn't even matter that his troops are mostly Assholes. Fortunately, a spoiled princess, a loyal droid, a scruffy pilot and his half-man/half-dog best friend stand in the way to thwart the President and all the dastardly forces of planet Spaceballs. Episode Chapters00:05:02 Opening Credits for Spaceballs Starring Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Daphne Zuniga00:18:49 Favorite Parts of the 1987 film Spaceballs01:13:46 Trivia from the sci-fi action fantasy Spaceballs01:24:11 Critics' Thoughts on Mel Brook's Spaceballs Links to sound effects:epidemicsounds.commixkit.co Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with science journalist and author Melinda Wenner Moyer to talk about something that so many of us wrestle with-- how to talk to our kids about the hard stuff. From climate change to inequality, to violence in the news, it can feel overwhelming to know what to say, when to say it, or even if we should say anything at all. Melissa's book, How to Raise Kids who Aren't Assholes, gave so many parents tools for raising kind, thoughtful humans. And her new book, Hello, Cruel World! continues that work by helping us navigate these tricky conversations with clarity, honesty, and compassion. In this episode, we dive into how to avoid toxic positivity without overwhelming our kids, how to model emotional regulation while still being real, and how to raise resilient humans in a world that doesn't always make it easy. All right folks, let's dive in.
