Grief can look very different in children than it does in adults. In this episode, Sissy Goff and David Thomas share five important ways kids process loss: in small doses, in the middle of everyday life, through emotions connected to secondary losses, through play, and in new ways as they grow and develop. They encourage parents to follow their child's lead, offer language when grief unexpectedly surfaces, and remember that there is no “right” timetable or expression of grief. Rather than trying to make children grieve like adults, caregivers can remain close, make room for remembering, and reassure kids that they never have to walk through loss alone.

Four years ago, this pace of life would have flatlined me. Today I've doubled my coaching team since the start of the year, maintained the leanest and healthiest physique I've had in over five years, gotten married, healed a partial meniscus tear, and I'm handling more stress than ever. Not because I have less on my plate, but because I've fundamentally changed how I operate at a physical, mental/emotional, and relational level.   In this episode I'm walking through the real, unglamorous shifts that got me here: the habit and routine changes (spending way less time in a deficit, training less but harder, radically simplifying my routines, learning the difference between willpower and real systems), the relationship shifts (my marriage, my faith, and getting brutally honest about which friendships were actually serving me), and the mental and emotional work that made all of it sustainable: somatic tools, learning to stop romanticizing my struggles, and building real emotional maturity instead of just muscling through.   This one's long and it's dense, because this is genuinely the accumulation of years of work, not a quick fix. If you've been wondering what it actually takes to build a life and a body you're proud of without burning it all down again, this is the closest I can get to showing my work.   — Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

Ginny Yurich, founder of 1000 Hours Outside, joins Sissy and David to explore how outdoor play, movement, and hands-on experiences prepare children to learn and grow. She shares how homeschooling has shaped her understanding of education, emphasizing that children learn constantly through their interests, relationships, everyday responsibilities, and time in nature. Ginny also explains how outdoor play builds problem-solving skills, agency, confidence, and the ability to assess healthy risks. In a rapidly changing, technology-driven world, she encourages parents to focus less on performance and more on developing distinctly human strengths such as creativity, empathy, communication, practical skills, and meaningful relationships.

When raising or teaching gifted, twice-exceptional, and differently wired children, adults often face the emotional whiplash of asynchronous development. A child might engage in deep, high-level discussions one moment, only to struggle with basic emotional regulation, task initiation, or practical organization the next. Colleen Kessler, an educator, gifted specialist, author of The Homeschool Advantage, and host of the Raising Lifelong Learners podcast, joins Emily to discuss why supporting neurodivergent kids requires shifting away from one-size-fits-all expectations and becoming an active student of the individual child. TAKEAWAYS Asynchronous development is a natural hallmark of neurodivergence where intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities develop at markedly different rates. Becoming a student of the child allows adults to separate neurological wiring differences from behavioral choices, leading to more effective scaffolding. Authentic strengths-based learning uses a student's high-interest areas to build the confidence and resilience to tackle difficult academic tasks. Testing critical thinking or scientific understanding can be separated from writing output by utilizing speech-to-text tools and alternative dictation methods. Highly capable learners often mask executive functioning deficits until cumulative demands outpace their early compensatory strategies. Being an effective advocate requires ongoing, collaborative communication between home and school rather than relying solely on formal annual meetings. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. You'll learn how to replace pathologizing jargon with empowering, neurodiversity-affirming language that builds self-advocacy and resilience. Register for this course today. Colleen Kessler is an author, educator, educational consultant, and international speaker specializing in gifted, twice-exceptional, and other neurodivergent learners. With degrees in elementary education and gifted studies, she helps parents, educators, and clinicians better understand and support the social, emotional, and executive functioning needs of neurodivergent children through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. Colleen is the founder of Raising Lifelong Learners and the host of the Raising Lifelong Learners podcast. Through her books, executive function resources, educational consulting, coaching programs, and The Learner's Lab membership community, she equips families with practical strategies to foster confidence, resilience, meaningful relationships, and a lifelong love of learning. Combining professional expertise with lived experience, Colleen empowers families to recognize and celebrate each child's unique strengths.

Parent-teacher conferences can feel stressful for parents, but Sissy Goff and David Thomas encourage families to approach them as opportunities to build a supportive team around their child. They share practical ways to create a spirit of partnership with teachers, receive honest feedback without becoming defensive, and look beyond grades to understand how a child is growing academically, emotionally, and socially. They also remind parents to focus on a few meaningful next steps, involve children in solving problems, and recognize where stepping back may allow kids to develop greater independence, responsibility, and confidence. Suggested parent-teacher conference questions: How can I support what you're doing at school from home? Is there anything you see at school that we might not be seeing at home? Where do you see capability in my child that they might not see yet? Where could we give our child more responsibility? What are two things we could work on at home right now? . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner in recent weeks. Incredible. Kushner should be under oath in front of a congressional committee. The fact that Jeffries met with him confirms that Jeffries doesn't understand this moment and cannot meet this moment. And if he's the next Speaker, that's not a good thing for the Democratic Party or the country. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Schools were promised that laptops, educational apps and artificial intelligence would make learning more personalised, engaging and effective. Cognitive neuroscientist and former teacher Dr Jared Cooney Horvath argues that the opposite may be true. In his new book, The Digital Delusion, Horvath contends that classroom technology can fracture attention, weaken deep reading and encourage children to outsource the mental effort through which learning happens. But does the evidence prove that technology is causing the decline—or merely show that the two have occurred at the same time? In this episode, Horvath joins Conor Boyle, Head of Programming at Intelligence Squared to examine the case against screens in schools, the growing use of AI tutors, the value of handwriting and human teaching, and wider social change.  --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Are you the person everyone counts on—the one who can always figure it out, squeeze it in, or take on one more thing?Being capable is a gift, but it can also become a trap.In today's episode, I'm joined by business strategist and executive coach Dawn Andrews, Founder and CEO of Free Range Thinking, to talk about what happens when capable women become responsible for too much—at work, at home, and everywhere in between.Dawn shares why highly capable women are especially vulnerable to burnout, how caring leaders can accidentally take on responsibilities that belong to other people, and why doing more isn't always the best use of your capacity.We also dive into boundaries—and a completely different way to think about them. Instead of waiting until you're exhausted and finally declaring, “I can't do this anymore,” Dawn encourages us to build boundaries around what we value and want to protect.In this episode, we talk about:The “curse of the capable” and why capable women often end up carrying moreWhy doing less can actually make you a better leaderThe difference between supporting someone and taking responsibility for themWhy holding space for someone is different from holding their weightHow over-functioning prevents the people around us from growingWhy boundaries can feel so difficult for dependable, high-achieving womenHow to set boundaries based on your values instead of your exhaustionWhy your capacity should be spent on what you chooseThe power of pausing before automatically saying yesDawn's simple three-question boundary check using energy, resentment, and enthusiasmIf you're tired of automatically asking, “How can I make this work?” every time something lands on your plate, this conversation will help you start asking a much more important question: “Do I actually want to?”Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Johan Roos, professor and executive advisor at Hult International Business School, Executive Director of the Peter Drucker Society Europe, and co-inventor of the LEGO® Serious Play® method. Johan is the author of Human Magic: Leading with Wisdom in an Age of Algorithms, and he has spent decades studying how people think, create, decide, and lead together. Andy and Johan explore the two paths Johan calls erosion and amplification, starting with a question Andy has been wrestling with as he hands more of his manual driving over to Tesla's self-driving. You'll hear what an eroding project manager actually looks like day-to-day, why practical wisdom matters when the analytically optimal answer is not the wisest one, and how AI feeds one kind of curiosity, the laser, while starving another, the radar. Johan also explains the difference between becoming an AI concierge and practicing what he calls professional citizenship, and he shares what parents can do to help their kids hold onto the messy, hands-on curiosity that machines cannot supply. If you're looking for a thoughtful, hopeful way to use AI without surrendering your judgment, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Almost every good idea I've had was not in front of the screen." "I know what to do, but I've stopped understanding why.".... The eroding project management can no longer explain the why." "So in a sense, they argue that the better the system, the stronger pull down the erosion curve." "So the message is really when the machines are taking over more and more of some of these subtle, very valuable capabilities we have, we have to climb the value creation ladder." "So a complexity is exactly where our wisdom gets exposed." "So every metric said fantastic, but nobody asked why, and is this right?" "If AI can write a document that is important to you, the document was never where the value lived." "But we just have to be careful to not sort of delegate too much of our brain power and sort of erode our jelly bean." "When you lean back and you haven't struggled enough, you may be super smart and, and the best brilliant individual in the world, but, you know, friction is good." "Are you able to argue for your case without holding on to the AI-produced slide?" "Protect the wandering curiosity, unstructured exploration, questions with no immediate payoff, the freedom to follow something nowhere in particular."

The Krugers share the heart behind their new book, The Good News Family Devotional: Fifty-Two Weeks Through the Gospel of Mark, and encourage parents that family discipleship doesn't have to be perfect or complicated to make a lasting impact. They discuss creating space for kids to ask hard questions, building resilience through a loving and faith-filled home, and remembering that small, consistent steps over time can shape a child's faith for years to come.

As kids head back to school, Sissy Goff and David Thomas share five practical ways parents can help them navigate the big emotions that often come with transition. They encourage parents to expect heightened feelings, lend kids their confidence, let feelings “ride but not drive,” protect margin for rest, and help kids collect evidence of their own capability. With simple scripts and questions parents can use at home, Sissy and David remind us that the goal isn't for kids to become fearless—it's for them to learn that they can feel nervous, overwhelmed, or uncertain and still move forward.

Dr. Lisa Damour breaks down why nagging doesn't build a work ethic — and what actually does.

In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Marc Pitman, founder of the Concord Leadership Group and author of The Surprising Gift of Doubt, for a conversation about something even highly successful leaders experience: uncertainty. We talk about what happens when doubt starts creeping into your leadership, career, finances, or identity and why that uncertainty doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes, it's an invitation to lead differently. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-doubt often surfaces when leaders enter a new season or level of growth How to separate failure from your identity and give yourself permission to get things wrong The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing as a leader Why having safe people and strong support systems matters when you're carrying significant responsibility How scarcity, fear, and your inner critic can influence leadership decisions Why dropping the "mask and armor" can create more authentic collaboration and connection Practical tools for understanding your leadership style and working through moments of doubt Marc also shares some of the personal failures, pivots, and unexpected seasons that shaped the way he leads today. If you're navigating a season where the old answers aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different way to look at uncertainty, not as something you need to eliminate, but as information you can learn to lead through.

In today's episode, we're talking about lipedema with Dr. Chase Miller, a doctor of physical therapy and certified lymphedema therapist. We dig into what lipedema actually is, how it differs from lymphedema and obesity, what symptoms to look for, and why lipedema is so frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed. We also discuss what we know - and what we still don't know - about the role of genetics, hormones, puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and adipose tissue dysfunction.We also get into the practical side of managing lipedema, including compression, exercise, strength training, cardiovascular exercise, nutrition, calorie deficits, and surgical interventions like liposuction. Most importantly, this conversation is about giving people realistic expectations without taking away their sense of agency.Lipedema may change what your body does, but there are still plenty of tools in your toolbox - and early education, consistent habits, and acceptance can help you manage the condition and give yourself the best chance of maintaining your health and quality of life."Diet will always matter, no matter if they have that body type or not. But diet does not simply eliminate lipedema tissue.”- Chase Miller, DPT“Generally, for people who live an active or healthy lifestyle, lipedema symptoms tend to manage better."- Chase Miller, DPTThis week on Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:What lipedema is and how it differs from lymphedema and obesityCommon physical signs and symptoms of lipedemaThe potential role of genetics and hormonal changesWhy lipedema can be painful, tender, and difficult to identifyHow compression may help with comfort and circulationThe role of strength training, cardio, and staying activeWhether a calorie deficit affects lipedema fat and body proportionsWhat to know before considering liposuction or other interventions Connect with Adjuvant Physical Therapy / Chase Miller DPT, CLT, AIB-VRC: Adjuvant Physical Therapy WebsiteAdjuvant PT on InstagramAdjuvant PT on FacebookThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

On July 6, a Chinese submarine fired a nuclear-capable ballistic missile out of the South China Sea. It likely overflew parts of the Philippines before coming down in waters between Tuvalu, Nauru and Solomon Islands, inside the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone. The 14 Pacific Island countries in whose region it landed were almost entirely skipped in Beijing's notifications. A month later, when Pacific Islands Forum foreign ministers met in Fiji, two of its members held up the response text.Kathryn Paik of the Center for Strategic and International Studies joins Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to explain what Beijing was signaling, and why the Pacific Island Countries couldn't answer with one voice. Paik wrote the first-ever U.S. Pacific Partnership Strategy at the National Security Council, following 23 years in the Marine Corps as a helicopter pilot and as a military attaché in Indonesia.In this episode:Why the missile's route mattered more than its range: launched from the South China Sea, overflying a U.S. treaty ally and landing in a declared nuclear-free zone hours after Australia signed its fourth-ever mutual defense treaty with Fiji. Paik's read: the message was that China "can militarily touch you anywhere it wants."How Nauru and Kiribati, two countries that recently switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, frustrated an 18-member consensus bloc. Jim presses the obvious counter — the U.S. and France tested here for decades — and Paik explains what makes this launch different.How sports became a national security instrument in a deal to put Papua New Guinea in Australia's National Rugby League, and the commitment on security ties with Beijing that came attached.Australia's diplomatic surge: mutual defense treaties with PNG and Fiji, plus bespoke security pacts with Tuvalu, Nauru and Vanuatu.Why Kiribati patrols an ocean territory larger than India with a population of roughly 140,000, and what that means for fisheries, the seabed and undersea cables.Paik on why U.S. Pacific policy has always been somebody's side job: "In Australia they have 300 people in their Office of the Pacific. We have about a dozen." The 2025 damage to U.S. standing, including USAID's closure, tariffs and no resident ambassadors across the 14 Pacific Island countries.

Sissy Goff and David Thomas sit down with Lysa TerKeurst for a meaningful conversation about making peace with what we can't control—especially as parents. Lysa shares what she's learned through raising five children, walking through divorce, and now becoming a grandmother, including the importance of keeping kids talking, releasing the need to control outcomes, and allowing children to experience consequences and build resilience. She reminds parents that their children's mistakes don't define their parenting and encourages families to create a strong sense of belonging, pursue their own growth, and trust God with what they ultimately cannot control.

As kids head back to school, friendships can bring just as much anxiety as academics. In this episode, Sissy Goff and David Thomas share five practical ways parents can help kids build social confidence: practice the first few minutes of the day, teach kids to notice others, give them simple conversation starters, allow friendships time to grow, and celebrate courage instead of popularity. They remind parents that friendship is a skill that develops through practice, small risks, repeated interactions, and plenty of imperfect moments along the way.

You know screens and social media can be risky for your kid. But do you know exactly what harm looks like… and what actually protects them from it? Dr. Lisa Damour revisits her conversation with Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, pioneering pediatrician, author, and California's first Surgeon General, recorded live at the Common Sense Summit on Kids and Families. A globally recognized expert on Adverse Childhood Experiences and toxic stress, Dr. Burke Harris has spent her career studying what harms children and what heals them. Her answer to the screen time crisis might surprise you: the most powerful protection isn't stricter screen time rules; it's your relationship with your child.

When four indigenous children survived 40 days alone in the Colombian Amazon after a plane crash, the world called it a miracle. But what if their survival began years before the crash? In this episode, Dr. CK Bray explores the remarkable story behind their resilience and what it reveals about raising children who are confident, capable, and prepared to navigate life's unexpected challenges. Discover why confidence isn't built by protecting children from every struggle but by gradually giving them opportunities to learn, contribute, solve problems, and grow. You'll walk away with practical parenting insights and a fresh perspective on how to raise children who don't just survive adversity, but thrive because they've been prepared for it. QUOTES FROM DR. BRAY "Confidence is not created through encouragement alone. Confidence is built through experience." "Children do not become capable because we repeatedly tell them they are capable. They have to discover it for themselves." "When we remove every obstacle, solve every problem, and rescue them from every uncomfortable experience, the very challenges we try to eliminate are the ones that help them build resilient, adaptable brains."  

In today's episode, we're challenging one of the biggest myths in health and fitness: that successful people simply have more willpower. We unpack what the latest research actually says about willpower, self-control, and why relying on motivation and discipline alone is a losing strategy. Instead, we explore how your environment, habits, and daily routines quietly shape the choices you make—often without you even realizing it.We also dive into the deeper reasons people struggle with nighttime eating, emotional eating, people-pleasing, chronic dieting, and feeling "stuck." From stress, sleep, and shame to calorie deficit mentality and difficult conversations, this episode is about moving beyond white-knuckling your way through health goals and creating a lifestyle that actually supports the life you want to live.If you've ever believed you just need more discipline, this conversation might completely change the way you approach lasting behavior change.""Don't let your life go by without getting to know yourself and getting curious."- Bri Reinecke"What is it costing you to stay where you are?"- Tiffany GambleThis week on Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why willpower isn't the secret to successful weight loss or healthy habitsWhat current research says about self-control and behavior changeHow your environment influences your eating habits more than disciplineWhy stress, poor sleep, and under-fueling make cravings feel impossible to resistThe connection between people-pleasing, boundaries, and your health goalsHow years of dieting create a "calorie deficit mindset" that keeps you stuckPractical ways to reduce decision fatigue and make healthy choices easierWhy curiosity - not guilt or shame - is the key to creating lasting changeConnect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to truly step away from work?Not because you earned it.Not because you finally cleared your inbox.Simply because you knew you needed it.For many brilliant women in demanding corporate careers, rest feels unproductive. There's always another email to answer, another presentation to prepare, another problem to solve. So instead of slowing down, they keep pushing—believing the answer is to work harder.But what if the leadership breakthrough you're looking for isn't found by doing more?What if it's found by reconnecting with yourself?In this episode of Breaking Free from the Grind, I share why rest isn't a luxury or a reward - it's one of the most strategic leadership decisions you can make. I also share lessons from my own quarterly reset while spending time in Los Angeles and why stepping away from work has consistently helped me make better decisions, reconnect with my vision, and become a stronger leader.In this episode, I'm diving in to discuss:Why exhaustion disconnects you from the leader you're trying to become — and how constantly prioritizing everyone else's needs over your own quietly erodes your clarity, confidence, and ability to lead with self-trust.The connection between rest and better leadership decisions — why the most effective response to a difficult conversation, career decision, or leadership challenge is often to step away first, reconnect with yourself, and return with greater clarity and conviction.How to build moments of rest into everyday leadership — including the simple shifts that help you recharge without waiting for the perfect vacation, so you can lead with more presence, authenticity, and strategic influence every day.If you've been telling yourself you'll rest after this project...If you've been running on empty while convincing yourself you just need to push a little harder...Or if you've forgotten what it feels like to lead from a place of clarity instead of exhaustion...This episode will remind you that your next level isn't created by sacrificing yourself.It's created by learning to trust yourself enough to pause.Next Level™ Leader Quiz: You're smart.

Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson join David and Sissy for a funny, honest conversation about raising capable kids without giving in to pressure, perfectionism, or the urge to rescue them from every hard moment. Drawing from their friendship and experiences parenting young adults, they discuss the importance of allowing kids to fail, advocate for themselves, handle responsibilities, and develop confidence in their own decision-making.

The meeting habits you bring into the room at work determine whether you're seen as a leader (and not just a hard worker). In this episode, I teach you four meeting habits that grow your reputation and get you seen as the capable, strategic leader you know you can be.Most ambitious women are doing great work. But great work isn't enough to get you promoted - you have to show up in meetings as someone who leads, who creates impact, and who knows how to be strategic.I'm breaking down the four habits that make that happen: inspiring, directing, challenging, and resolving.For each habit, I walk you through what it is, how to tell if it's a growth area for you, and how to get good at it — using one simple analogy. You'll learn how to share your work in a way that inspires trust, how to be direct without coming off as aggressive, how to challenge people (even senior ones) without fear, and how to resolve problems out loud so leadership sees how capable you truly are.Ready to become the kind of leader people notice?

Dr. Dale Atkins joins David and Sissy to explore how speed, chronic stress, digital distraction, and intensive parenting are reshaping family relationships and contributing to a crisis of capability in kids. She shares practical wisdom for building stronger connections across generations, including listening without becoming defensive, respecting adult children as independent people, offering guidance without taking over, and staying curious when experiences or memories differ. The conversation also highlights the importance of unstructured family time, emotional safety, intergenerational relationships, and modeling kindness through small, everyday actions.

Friendships are where kids practice being human, but social anxiety, screens, group dynamics, and “rollercoaster” relationships are making connection harder than ever. Sissy and David offer practical ways parents can help kids recognize healthy friendships, develop realistic expectations, practice conversation and initiation, understand reciprocity, set kind boundaries, and navigate awkward moments. Rather than managing every relationship, parents can coach kids to find good friends, have a “good picker,” and become the kind of friend they hope to have.

Katty and Hunter Connelly join Sissy and David to share what they have learned while raising four very different children. They discuss building capability through honesty, responsibility, hard work, and allowing kids to experience the consequences of their choices rather than constantly stepping in to fix things. They also offer encouragement for navigating sibling conflict, treating children fairly without treating them exactly the same, launching young adults, and trusting that strained sibling relationships can grow stronger over time. Through plenty of honesty about their own mistakes, Katty and Hunter remind parents that apologizing, letting go, and consistently communicating unconditional love can help preserve connection through every stage of family life.  . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!
