Work with Paul: Schedule a 30-minute conversation What happens when you spend all your patience at work and come home with nothing left for the conversations that actually matter? If you're a senior professional managing a demanding career and a growing family, you know this tension. You hold complexity all day. By evening, you're running on fumes. Today, I unpack Morgan Housel's idea of saving like a pessimist and investing like an optimist, and why the real challenge for busy parents isn't choosing between optimism and pessimism. It's having the energy left to hold both at the same time when it counts. I share a personal confession about becoming more patient with my TAMMA families and less patient with my own family, and what that pattern looks like in the dual-income households I work with every day. This week's action step: before your next financial or logistical conversation at home, ask yourself whether you're showing up with the patience it deserves, or whether you're running on what's left. If it's fumes, reschedule. The conversation matters too much to rush.

Work with Paul: Schedule a 30-minute conversation What's the difference between being busy and being afraid? For many families who earn well and work hard, the two look identical from the outside. Today, I share something that's been sitting with me since losing a client earlier this year. It changed how I think about the financial decisions that busy families keep not making, and why the problem usually isn't information, time, or money. It's fear, just showing up in two very different ways. One fear keeps you moving without asking why. The other keeps you from making decisions you know you need to make. This week, I'm asking you to notice which one is running your financial life right now, and whether it's actually taking you somewhere you want to go.

Pastor Dan Belshaw shares a message titled, ‘Whatever Comes, I'll Be Okay,' from Matthew 7:24–27. Looking at Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish builders, Dan reminds us that everyone builds their life on a foundation, whether intentionally or not. In this message we are challenged to move beyond simply hearing Jesus' words and instead put them into practice through daily obedience and spiritual discipline. As storms come to every life, following Jesus doesn't remove suffering, but it does provide a firm foundation. Whatever comes, we can stand secure in Him.

In an age marked by political polarisation, moral confusion, and deep mistrust of institutions, what does it mean to live well together? Are we primarily citizens of the state, autonomous individuals, or something else entirely? Join Michael at the 27th Annual Tinsley Lecture on 21 May as he explores the distinctive political vision offered by Christian faith in Subjects and Citizens – What Christianity Offers a Fractured Public Square. Key Takeaways: The anxiety surrounding parenting may be tied to societal pressures and cultural expectations, exacerbated by digital advancements and social media comparisons. Effective parenting often involves striking a balance between discipline and nurturing, a strategy supported by research on authoritative parenting. Vulnerability and authenticity in parenting, including open conversations about difficult topics, can foster a healthy family environment. Modern parents face unique challenges compared to previous generations, necessitating new methods and flexibility in parenting styles. Engaging in meaningful discussions with children about important life topics, like faith and personal responsibility, is crucial for their development and character building. Notable Quotes: "Parenting has become a sort of visible metric of our sanctification." - Michael Jensen "We are parenting our children for this life and for the people that they interact with." - Collett Smart "We need to let go of expectations we had for them. Those are gone now." - Collett Smart "Parenting is a school for our own discipleship." - Michael Jensen "Allowing our children to experience some discomfort, but then supporting them through that." - Collett Smart Resources: Her Podcast: Raising Teens with Collett Smart Collett Smart's Book: They'll Be Okay: 15 Conversations to Help Your Child Through Troubled Times See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this deeply personal and insightful episode, host Doug sits down with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg a PhD scientist turned life coach, TEDx speaker, and author. Dr. Goldberg shares the powerful "origin story" of his kindness movement, starting with a simple, brave act for a stranger in an airport that transformed his life and career. The conversation dives into the internal negotiation between "Heart Whispers" (our quiet intuitive nudges) and "Fear Shouts" (the loud, anxious voices that stop us from acting with integrity). Whether you are a man navigating the "before times" and "after times" of fatherhood, or someone looking to reconnect with your authentic self beneath years of social constructs, this episode offers a roadmap for leading a more compassionate, courageous life.   Key Topics Covered:   ·         The Power of Small Acts: How a handwritten card in an airport sparked a global mission to make kindness cool. ·         Intuition vs. Anxiety: Understanding the "Fear Shouts and Heart Whispers" mantra to navigate life's uncertainty. ·         The Human Psyche and Snap Judgments: Why our brains use evolutionary shortcuts to judge strangers in traffic and public spaces. ·         Authenticity and Childhood Constructs: Challenging the "survivor" personalities we built as children to find who we truly are. ·         The Hidden Grief of Parenthood: A raw discussion on the loss of identity and time that comes with becoming a new father. ·         Invisible Benevolent Forces: Exploring the synchronicities and nudges that lead us toward growth and connection.   About Dr. Jeremy Goldberg   Dr. Jeremy Goldberg is a PhD-trained scientist turned life coach, author, and speaker whose mission is to make kindness and compassion a global standard. Known as a "dream doula," he leverages a decade of international research into human behavior to help individuals reclaim their agency and rewrite the personal stories that hold them back. His diverse background—spanning from ordained ministry and SCUBA diving to hosting a top-ranked global podcast and leading 200 km pilgrimages in Spain—informs his unique approach to "conviction excavation" and personal growth.   Through his brand, Long Distance Love Bombs, Jeremy uses creative writing and spoken word poetry as mediums for healing and clarity. He focuses on the idea that beliefs are choices and identities are malleable, providing his clients with the faith and tools needed to stimulate profound life epiphanies. With a book titled It'll Be Okay, And You Will Be Too and a TEDx talk questioning "What if kindness was cool?", he continues to bridge the gap between rigorous scientific understanding and heartfelt, creative expression to make the world better than he found it.   Social links of Dr. Jeremy Goldberg Website – https://www.longdistancelovebombs.com Substack - https://longdistancelovebombs.substack.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DrJeremyGoldberg Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/LongDistanceLoveBombs Book – https://shopcatalog.com/product/itll-be-okay-and-you-will-be-too/ Newsletter – https://longdistancelovebombs.mykajabi.com/email Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/longdistancelovebombs TEDx talk – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mklMPHGLjo Podcast - https://anchor.fm/longdistancelovebombs   Social links of Doug Beitz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178

What if not all success is earned and not all struggle is deserved? This week's episode digs into something we don't talk about enough: the role of luck, circumstance, and timing in how our lives turn out.

I share a few stories from my generational Family Office practice, working with families across different starting lines, and reflect on what advantages compound across generations and what that means for how we judge ourselves, others, and what we teach our kids about success.

Holiday Anxiety: The Pressure to “Be Okay” (and Why It Makes You Feel Worse)Do you feel like you should be happy, grateful, and “all good” during the holidays… but inside you feel anxious, numb, low, or overwhelmed?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW talks about the hidden pressure to be okay during the holidays — and how forcing yourself to feel a certain way actually intensifies anxiety, OCD loops, and emotional pain.Matt explains why comparing your inner world to everyone else's highlight reel (or to how you “used to feel” in past holidays) keeps you stuck, and how learning to allow your current state—without self-judgment—can actually help your nervous system settle and heal.If this season feels heavier, lonelier, or more stressful than you expected, this conversation will give you permission to be where you are, while still moving toward freedom.

The lights are twinkling, the carols are playing, and everything should feel magical... but sometimes, it just doesn't. Whether your kids are navigating big feelings of disappointment or you're trying to balance joy and weariness in your own heart, this conversation is for you.This week I'm joined by author and speaker Sheila Walsh, and we're talking about what really matters this Christmas: God's love, Emmanuel with us, and how to guide our children through holiday letdowns with grace, presence, and prayer.Here are just a few things we talked about: How to help kids walk through disappointment (even when they don't get the part they wanted in the play) Why our prayers for our children matter more than any gift we could ever wrap Simple ways to re-center your home on Jesus in a culture that's always asking for moreHow unmet expectations can be invitations to discover God's love more deeplySheila's brand-new picture book, The Little Drummer Girl, tells a beautiful story about a child who doesn't get what she wants… and instead finds the joy of giving to Jesus. It's such a special book to read together this season. You can find the link in the show notes!Sheila Walsh is a best-selling author, Bible teacher, speaker, and co-host of TBN's Praise. She has written over 50 books for women and children, including It's Okay Not to Be Okay, Holding On When You Want to Let Go, and The Storm Inside. Her new book, The Little Drummer Girl, is a heartwarming Christmas story for kids about faith, giving, and the love of Jesus.So whether you're on your third cup of cocoa or hiding wrapping paper in the closet, I hope this episode wraps around you like a warm blanket and reminds you: Jesus is with us.

I've recorded nearly a thousand episodes of this show, and yet this one has been one of the hardest to sit down and share. Over the past few months, life has forced me to slow down through surgery, recovery, and a lot of unexpected stillness. And in that quiet, I've had to ask some uncomfortable questions about what really matters, where I want to spend my time, and what's sustainable for me right now.  Connect with Abagail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠⁠ This isn't about the business.

Emma's memoir, Daddy Going to Be Okay?, grew from voice notes and late night blog posts into a powerful account of grief, parenting through trauma, and finding connection in the darkest days.Emma shares the story of Charlie's final days in hospital, the painful reality of ICU restrictions, and the moment she had to answer her daughter's impossible question about whether Daddy would come home. Together, Rosie and Emma talk about the invisible work of widowhood, the small moments that keep you going, and the way grief shifts and reshapes your life long after the world expects you to be fine.This is a raw and hopeful conversation about love, honesty, resilience, and the courage it takes to tell your story.Key themes from the episode include:• Emma's account of losing her husband Charlie during the earliest days of COVID-19 and the emotional toll of ICU restrictions and isolation.• Parenting her daughter Rebekah through grief and choosing honesty over false reassurance when asked, “Is Daddy going to be okay?”• How social media became a lifeline that humanised the statistics dominating the headlines.• Writing as survival, beginning with private notes and blog posts that grew into an award-winning blog and eventually a book.• The invisible labour of widowhood, from solo parenting and finances to the fear that appearing “fine” will make your pain invisible.• The way grief shows up years later in unexpected moments and the role of symbols, like tattoos and travel, in marking resilience.• Emma's belief that grief never ends, but it does change. “Grief is a book on the shelf. It is still there, but surrounded by other stories now.”The episode closes with a conversation about the meaning behind her book's title and the small joys, like a bouncing Tigger, that sit beside heartbreak in the story of love, loss, and carrying on.#widowhood #grief #soloparenting #covidgrief #bereavement #parentingafterloss #widowedmum #memoir #loss #resilience #mentalhealth #trauma #storytelling #widowcommunity #griefsupport #WidowedAF #RosieMoss #EmmaCharlesworth

When you hear the word “self-care,” do you picture bubble baths, spa days, or fancy retreats? While those things can be enjoyable, true self-care—especially when you're living with anxiety or depression—often looks much more practical.In this episode of It's Going to Be Okay!, Nicky Asher-Bowling redefines self-care through the lens of faith. Together, we'll explore:✨ Why self-care isn't selfish, it's stewardship✨ How Jesus modeled rest and restoration✨ Practical examples of real self-care that actually nourishes your mind, body, and spirit✨ How coaching can help you discover personalized routines that work for YOU in this season of lifeBy the end, you'll walk away with a weekly challenge to try a small but powerful act of real self-care.

Time is the most valuable asset we have. But unlike money, you can't earn more of it. And once it's gone, it's gone. In this episode, I talk about something I see every day, with clients and in my own life: how a lack of time becomes the excuse for putting off financial decisions. The irony is, delaying those decisions often creates more stress and complexity down the road—costing us even more time. I share a few stories, including my own, about why we procrastinate, what that delay costs us emotionally, and what changes when we finally decide to act. Not out of motivation—that comes and goes—but out of clarity and purpose. Life doesn't slow down. But your priorities can become clearer. And often, the smallest step forward creates momentum you didn't think was possible. If you've ever said, “I'll get to it when things calm down,” this episode is for you.

Do you worry about your kid's lack of motivation? Have a rambunctious teenager who has passions, but no goals? Or worry that they won't end up where they should, based on their current trajectory?  You just want to make the right decisions to help them have their best possible future. It would be nice if you could shortcut some of the hardship and learning curves you may have had to face on your journey, but you can't do it for them! Well today's episode is a treat, because I am re-releasing an episode I recorded two years ago with long-time Homeschool Connections teacher, Tan Books author, and History in a Minute YouTuber, Phillip Campbell.  Phillip and I had a fantastic chat about his not-so-straight journey to now being one of the most famous Catholic high school teachers in the world!  He shares his ups and downs, college experienceS, and what he's learned along the journey. This is such an important conversation for parents to listen to to remember one of the most important things: it's going to be okay. God is always with our kids. And that your kid doesn't have to have it all figured out by the time they graduate. My own major takeaway from today's episode is that once they choose to do something, our kids can accomplish anything. Phillip's interview today is a testimony to just that!
