Parenting today can feel more challenging than ever before. Research shows that anxiety is increasing at an alarming rate, and there seems to be a decrease in kindness happening at the same time. That's where some Biblical truth can help us as parents. In this episode, Sara and Amy sit down with Ammie Akin — a wife, mom of three boys, and career educator with a background spanning all levels of administration, from elementary to high school and college. Ammie shares about being authentic as a parent, utilizing the Bible to help guide you, finding joy in whatever stage of parenting you're in, and being intentional in everyday moments.Book: The Anxious Generation--Question of the Week: Who is the kindest person you encounter at school (or you can pick a different location)?

This week, we take over the HOV lane with Carpool; the family comedy that wants so badly to be edgy, but ultimately fails because it's trying to capture the minds and hearts of a younger audience. The end result is a movie that's got really great pacing and sense of cause and effect, but has just a little too much Tom Arnold for comfort. Here we go! Clingy carny criminal cajacks and kidnaps kids, is caught by a Karen cop, and continues to cut and run, causing chaos constantly! Child abduction breast reduction! Arnold almost always averts attention away from aiming automobile! PC police prevent piss-poor P.T. Barnum from profiting! Factory circus? Improper tube logic, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com

And what does letting go look like?In this episode, Amy and Marissa sit down with Kylie White—wife, mom of four teens, philanthropist, and a servant-leader in her family's business, Chick-fil-A.

We hope this episode will inspire you to loosen your grip, find peace in God's presence, and trust in His faithfulness—even when the path ahead feels uncertain.Kylie White's Blog--Question of the Week: First, tell your kid(s) a story about a time when you stepped out in bold faith.

Notice something a little different with the Carpool today? That's right, the new cover art is here and, we won't lie, it's pretty great! From a picture taken in a basement with no makeup, to this professionally shot photo, Kelly and Lizz sure are moving on up. It's the first part of a big week for the Car Mom with a ton of content to be created thanks to friends who are creating little ones of their own. There are a lot of things in the works at the Car Mom and the biggest one might be from Kelly herself. She's been experimenting with something for the last five weeks and she's finally ready to tell the world about it. What could it be? She has changed the order of how she gets ready in the morning and she's sharing what she has learned to help us all get our routines right. Lizz is on a journey of her own inside The Loft. She spent a good amount of money the other day there attempting to freshen up her wardrobe. However, was there a day she looked down on shopping at The Loft? Or is that just Kelly misremembering her own self-loathing? The biggest journey lately for Lizz has been, of course, her pumping journey. Last week she got emotional talking about the amazing support she received and this week she is sharing a big update. Thanks to @onewiththepump she has discovered she had been doing it all wrong and things are looking up! She learned two very important lessons from this journey that we can all take into every aspect of our lives. 1) Be careful who you take your advice from. 2) You can say "I could never" but you only quit when quitting is an option. Then, Kelly and Lizz are bringing you their Model Lineup of the most satisfying feelings. Is there anything better than the feeling of going to bed with clean sheets? How about the feeling when all the kids are asleep for the night? It's time to debate the most satisfying feelings! In Industry News a warning on the toll road scam everyone is getting.

What is your earliest memory? That is what Lizz and Kelly are talking about today on The Carpool. For Lizz, it's her and Kelly playing with their imaginary friends who also happened to be big brothers. You always want the sibling combo you don't have. Kelly's earliest memories are of preschool and the spot to be was the peanut-free table. She perpetually had a peanut butter sandwich and was persona non-grata with the cool kids. Does she still harbor a bit of resentment? Don't even ask about the apples... Kelly is headed off on a family vacation with a Hummer and it got her thinking about cars that no longer exist that definitely should. The internet seems to be ravenous for a Ford Excursion. Kelly and Lizz's big prediction? We could be seeing a new Volkswagen Beetle hitting the market again! Slug bug! While Kelly is enjoying a vacation, Lizz will be back home working on sleep training Sloan. This leads to a discussion on the pressures of parenting thanks to social media. There are so many opinions coming from us at every angle, how do you decide what is right for you? It's time for a return of mother's intuition! What were the lessons your parents taught you as a kid? Kelly has two stories her father told her that she refers to daily. This is how she learned to not be afraid to ask questions and that just because something is always done one way doesn't mean it needs to always be done that way. Before they leave, Lizz has a new random fact of left handed vs. right handed vs. ambidextrous. Kelly has a random fact on vertigo... Well, more like the fact that she has vertigo.

As you know the Car Mom is a BIG fan of Consumer Reports not just for cars, but for appliances too! Guess who finally got a new food processor thanks to a their guide? It couldn't be the most perfect time to talk with Jennifer as Consumer Reports just released their automotive reliability rankings for 2025. She breaks down the process they go through to get the the rankings that includes their members giving feedback on over 300,000 vehicles. The results are fascinating and includes a new #1 brand when it comes to performance and reliability. On the other hand, there are seven brands that don't have a single vehicle that Consumer Reports recommends. Why is that?
