What if the greatest gift you can give your child has nothing to do with parenting techniques? In this conversation, Amy Jo Martin sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, for an honest discussion about what children are really asking of us, and why the work begins within ourselves. Together, they explore why so many parents feel pressure to optimize every moment, manage every outcome, and "project manage" their children, when what kids often need most is a regulated, present adult. Dr. Shefali shares why she felt compelled to write her new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, after witnessing the growing mental health challenges facing today's children, and offers practical wisdom for navigating everything from co-parenting and divorce to guilt, identity, and emotional resilience. Amy Jo and Dr. Shefali also tackle one of today's biggest parenting questions: how should families think about AI? Rather than focusing on fear, they explore how to preserve original thinking, creativity, boredom, and genuine human connection in a rapidly changing world. In this episode you'll learn: Why healing yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children How to navigate co-parenting, divorce, and guilt with greater awareness What today's mental health crisis is revealing about modern childhood Dr. Shefali's perspective on AI, technology, and protecting human creativity Why managing yourself, not everyone around you, is the foundation of a meaningful life Whether you're raising young children, navigating adolescence, leading a team, or simply trying to become a more conscious version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts from the inside out.   Learn more about Dr. Shefali and her books here: https://www.drshefali.com/   Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.

Maybe you are thinking about bringing your child home because school is not working. Or maybe you are already homeschooling, but the curriculum, methods, or supports you chose are not helping the way you hoped. When your child has dyslexia, ADHD, autism, disability, behavior struggles, or several different needs at once, the next decision can feel terrifying. You may be afraid you will choose the wrong thing, make the gaps worse, or miss something important. You may be thinking, “I love my child, but I do not know enough to do this well.” In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story from a season when I walked into a professional evaluation expecting to be told that I had failed my child. That is not what happened. The appointment did not give us a complete educational plan, but it did help me see something I had almost missed. It also helped me understand that I did not have to solve my child's entire education all at once before taking the next step. We'll talk about the fear of getting it wrong, the value and limits of professional evaluations, and how to keep paying attention to the child in front of you when the path ahead is not clear. And I want to be clear: this episode is not about rejecting professional help, and it is not about treating every professional opinion as the final word. It is about receiving useful information, protecting what is already helping, and continuing to look for support that sees both your child's struggles and your child's possibilities. If you are afraid you will mess this up, this episode will help you breathe, think more clearly about the next step, and remember that needing help does not mean you are failing.

Crying can feel like a sign of weakness, which makes it hard to imagine an all-powerful God shedding tears. Kaitlyn explores what Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb reveals about a God who chooses to be moved by our suffering and how Christian hope does not minimize grief, but instead promises death, pain, and tears will not have the final word.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:32 - Does God Cry?   11:10 - Sponsor - Tyndale - To celebrate the NLT's 30th anniversary, Use code CURIOUS30 to receive 30% off any NLT Bible!   12:02 - Sponsor - With and For - The With and For podcast brings together psychology and spiritual wisdom—check it out now: https://pod.link/1712333330?view=apps&sort=popularity   13:11 - Incarnate God Tears   29:20 - How to Explain it to a Child   30:45 - End Credits  

What if one of the best things you could do for your child's emotional health took only twenty minutes a day, and cost absolutely nothing? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore fascinating research showing that just twenty minutes outdoors significantly lowers stress hormones and strengthens resilience. Together they discuss why nature has become one of childhood's forgotten gifts and how parents can reclaim ordinary moments outside as part of raising emotionally healthy, resilient kids.

What do you do when your child loves to argue, especially about the Bible? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz answers a parent whose 12-year-old insists Jesus sinned by staying in the temple and by clearing out the money changers. Elizabeth unpacks a question-first approach that keeps a child's genuine questions welcome instead of shutting them down, shows how to take a child back to the text of Scripture, and helps parents discern the heart behind the argument: real curiosity, anger, or pride. She then turns to a second, everyday kind of arguing, rebellion against a parent's instructions, and walks through practical, gospel-centered steps drawn from Ginger Hubbard's "Wise Words for Moms" chart for addressing both complaining and defiance. A hopeful, practical episode for any parent raising a strong-willed, question-asking child.

What happens when everything looks successful on the outside, but something still feels “fine”? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with leadership coach and Limitless partner Tiffanie Janowitz to explore self-trust, personal growth, intentional living, and the hidden cost of settling for “fine.” Growing up with a checklist of expectations, Tiffanie believed success meant following the rules, checking every box, and building the life she was supposed to want. But after challenging long-held beliefs, navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, and redefining what fulfillment really means, she discovered that “fine” isn't a destination—it's often the very thing keeping us stuck. In this powerful conversation, Jennifer and Tiffanie explore why self-trust is the foundation of meaningful success, how personal development fuels business growth, and why the biggest breakthroughs often begin when we stop living on autopilot. They discuss the danger of inherited beliefs, the importance of questioning old narratives, and how learning to trust your own voice can completely change the trajectory of your life and career. If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, purpose, and what it truly means to live intentionally. About Tiffanie Janowitz Tiffanie Janowitz is a mentor and coach to leaders who are ready to stop performing and begin operating at their true potential. Her path has been shaped by a series of personal and professional reckonings, including challenging deeply held beliefs, navigating major identity shifts, advocating for herself through breast cancer, and rebuilding her life with a stronger foundation of self-trust. Today, she works alongside her partners at Limitless Society, where personal development and business development are intentionally brought together. Through coaching, leadership development, and community, Tiffanie helps people reclaim their time, energy, agency, and ability to create a life that feels genuinely aligned.

Some children answer questions immediately. Others need minutes, or even days, to think before they respond. In a fast paced world, those slower processors can easily be mislabeled as indecisive or anxious. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore new research showing that deep verbal thinkers often process life more thoroughly than others realize. Together, they discuss how parents can distinguish between unhealthy rumination and healthy reflection while learning to nurture children according to the unique ways God designed them to think.

Josh and Drusilla discuss the French classic, Diabolique. From wiki: “Les Diaboliques (French: [le djabɔlik], lit. transl. The Diabolical Ones or Diabolical Women, released as Diabolique in the United States and variously translated as The Devils or The Fiends)[3] is a 1955 French noir psychological thriller film co-written and directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, and starring Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse, and Charles Vanel. The story blends elements of psychological thriller, crime drama and psychological horror, with the plot focusing on a woman and her husband's mistress who conspire to murder the man.

Have you ever wondered whether your child's sensitivity, strong will, quietness, or intensity is something you need to change? When a behavior repeatedly frustrates or worries us, it is easy to start seeing our child as the problem. We may lecture more, push harder, compare them to other children, or try to shape them into someone who feels easier and less frightening to raise. But what if the trait you are trying to eliminate was never broken? In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore the important difference between accepting who your child is and guiding how they use their strengths. You will learn how sensitivity can become empathy, strong will can become leadership, quietness can reflect thoughtfulness, and intensity can grow into passion and purpose. They also share practical language for responding to children and teens without shaming their identity, while still maintaining boundaries, teaching responsibility, and developing emotional regulation. You'll discover:• How parental fear can turn guidance into rejection• Why children need to know, “I am loved as I am, and I am capable of growing”• How to find the strength underneath a frustrating behavior• What children ages 8–18 need from parents at different developmental stages• Four questions to help you decide whether a moment needs acceptance, guidance, or a clear boundary• How protecting your child's dignity strengthens your influence into adulthood Your child does not need you to fix who they are. They need your help becoming the healthiest, wisest version of who they already are. Learn more about Parent Relationship Coaching and the Art of Raising Humans at ArtOfRaisingHumans.com. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/what-you-should-never-try-to-fix-about-your-child Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Can parenting influence a child's sexuality? It's one of the most debated questions in Christian circles—and one that's often answered with extremes.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady Cone responds to the claim that "bad parenting doesn't make kids gay" and explores what Scripture, discipleship, and years of ministry reveal about family dynamics, childhood wounds, and same-sex attraction.This conversation is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding how emotional attachment, trauma, and the lies we believe can shape our hearts while remembering that every person is responsible before God and that true healing is found in Christ.If you're a parent, someone wrestling with same-sex attraction, or simply trying to think biblically about these issues, this episode is for you.In this episode:Do parents cause same-sex attraction?Can childhood trauma influence sexuality?What role do emotionally distant fathers and anxious mothers play?Why grace for parents matters.Understanding the difference between influence and blame.How Romans 1 informs discipleship and healing.Shepherding your child's heart with humility and truth.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:45 Responding to the Facebook claim03:17 Parents aren't to blame06:38 Family patterns that matter07:07 The role of sexual abuse09:35 Three parenting categories13:23 Romans 1 and believing lies15:31 Why ignoring root issues is dangerous18:00 Understanding the past without excusing sin20:10 Encouragement for parents22:48 Final encouragement and ministry invitationIf this conversation encouraged you, like this video, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs biblical clarity and hope.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#Parenting #Discipleship #BiblicalTruth

Anthony Trucks is a former foster child, NFL football player, American Ninja Warrior competitor, author, and Identity Shift coach.At age three, Anthony was surrendered into the foster care system, where he says he experienced years of mental and physical abuse before finally being adopted at 14 by an all-white family. Despite the odds, he set his sights on making his high school varsity football team; a goal that led to a full-ride scholarship to the University of Oregon and, eventually, a shot in the NFL. By 25, he had a beautiful wife, a son, and what looked like an unstoppable future.Then a shoulder injury ended his NFL career overnight.Anthony pivoted, opening a gym using his kinesiology degree; but the business consumed his marriage, his health, and nearly his finances. He missed his kids' milestones, fell out of shape, and came close to losing everything. On his darkest night, he considered ending it all.A single conversation changed the trajectory of his life; and shifted his purpose from chasing success to becoming an inspiration for others. He studied peak performance coaches, built out the tactics and the business plan, but still struggled to gain traction; until he realized the missing piece wasn't strategy. It was identity. The coaches he admired weren't succeeding because of better tactics; their internal identity was aligned with their external success.That realization became the foundation of his Dark Work methodology; years of research, practice, and deep psychological rewiring built around one core belief: you cannot sustain success beyond the identity you currently hold.In this conversation, Anthony breaks down his full journey; from foster kid to NFL, from rock bottom to rebuilding, and why doing the quiet work in the dark is the only way to truly shift who you are.What We Cover:• Beating the Odds: How Anthony survived an abusive childhood in foster care; where 50% end up homeless and 75% go to prison; and turned childhood anger into a path to the NFL.• The Fall After the NFL: What happened when a career-ending shoulder injury wiped out his sports career, crushed his gym business, and brought him to his darkest night of the soul.• Identity vs. Strategy: Why standard business tactics fail if who you are at your core doesn't match where you want to go.• The Danger of Being an "Emotional Liability": Why men who can't handle their reactions destroy their families, businesses, and relationships; and how to finally get control over how you react.• Swallowing Your Pride: A raw story about losing his temper with his daughter in Paris, owning his mistake, and learning why real strength means admitting when you're wrong."Smooth seas never made skilled sailors. You cannot attain or sustain anything in life above the identity you currently hold." — Anthony Trucks

Is it okay to have a favourite child or should it always stay unsaid? Speaking to Jonathan was Psychotherapist specialising in Parenting Support, Bethan O Riordan.

Vancouver Holocaust survivor Adam Policzer, 87, is marking three major milestones this summer: the publication of his first English-language Holocaust autobiography in the form of a 60-page graphic novel, The House Across the Street; the premiere of a documentary about his life; and the 80th anniversary of his reunion with his father after the Second World War in July 1946. Eighty years ago, Policzer was reunited with his father, who had fled Hungary before the outbreak of the Second World War and found safety in Chile. But the child and his mother didn't get out in time before the Nazis invaded Hungary. So, Policzer's mother arranged to hide her young son with the Christian family living across the street in the city of Miskolc. She was later deported to Auschwitz, and eventually perished in a Nazi slave-labour camp in Poland. Policzer eventually moved from Chile to Vancouver, B.C. in the 1970s, where he worked as an architect. He and his wife wanted to leave a memoir for their grandchildren, so he drew his story as a graphic novel, published in Canada in June by Dirty Water Comics. Policzer believes he is one of the few child survivors who vividly remembers the Holocaust, and possibly one of the only survivors to tell his story as a graphic novel with his own drawings. The story has also inspired a new documentary about him which recently premiered at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival. On today's fresh episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, Adam Policzer joins host Ellin Bessner to explain how drawing his images helped him deal with his Holocaust trauma, while paying tribute to the Christian family that repeatedly risked their lives to save his, but never qualified for recognition by Yad Vashem. Also joining are the filmmakers Jamie Michaels and Liam Karp, both from Winnipeg.

Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. From tracking one of Canada's most notorious serial killers to leading the heartbreaking investigation into the murder of an eight-year-old child, retired Toronto Police homicide detective Hank Idsinga spent three decades confronting humanity at its darkest. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Every homicide detective knows that one case can define a career. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio For Hank Idsinga, there were several. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. As a Retired Homicide investigator with the Toronto Police Service, Idsinga became one of Canada's most respected detectives. During a remarkable 30-year career, he investigated countless murders, managed some of the country's highest-profile homicide investigations, and ultimately became the Major Case Manager responsible for one of the largest murder investigations in Canadian history. The conversation is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most other major podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering firsthand accounts from those who have lived them. Today, Idsinga joins the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast to discuss Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada, the emotional realities of homicide investigations, and the experiences that inspired his #1 National Bestselling Book, The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop. The compelling interview is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartradio and other major Podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering extraordinary stories from the people behind the badge. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. A Childhood Promise Became a Lifelong Mission Some careers begin with opportunity. Hank Idsinga's began with tragedy. When he was just ten years old, he learned that his grandfather had been murdered during the Holocaust by the Nazis in World War II. That revelation changed his life forever. "From the age of ten, I knew I wanted to become a homicide detective." Rather than simply dream about police work, Idsinga dedicated himself to achieving that goal. Throughout his youth, he prepared for a career in law enforcement, eventually joining the Toronto Police Service. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. What began with patrol assignments eventually led him into homicide investigations, where his remarkable memory, analytical skills, compassion, and determination quickly earned the respect of fellow detectives and supervisors alike. Finding Answers for Families During Their Worst Moments Hollywood often portrays homicide detectives as emotionless investigators driven only by evidence. Reality is far different. Idsinga explains that homicide detectives do much more than process crime scenes and interview suspects. They also become the people responsible for delivering devastating news to grieving families. One moment they may be chasing a dangerous suspect. The next, they're standing on a family's front porch explaining that someone they love will never come home. "You have to investigate the crime, but you also have to care for the people left behind." That balance between relentless investigation and genuine compassion became one of the defining characteristics of Idsinga's career. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Hunting a Serial Killer Who Terrorized Toronto Perhaps no investigation better demonstrates the complexity of modern homicide investigations than the hunt for one of Toronto's most notorious serial killers. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Between 2010 and 2017, eight men, most with connections to Toronto's Gay Village, vanished. At first, the disappearances appeared unrelated. As investigators dug deeper, disturbing patterns began to emerge. The investigation quickly expanded into the largest homicide investigation in Toronto Police Service history. Multiple agencies joined the effort, including: Toronto Police Service (TPS) Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Numerous regional law enforcement partners Multiple specialized task forces As the Major Case Manager, Hank Idsinga coordinated an extraordinarily complex investigation involving hundreds of investigators, forensic experts, analysts, intelligence officers, and partner agencies. The pressure was immense. The community demanded answers. Families desperately wanted their loved ones found. The media closely followed every development. The Investigation That Finally Solved the Murders Years of painstaking investigative work eventually led detectives to Bruce McArthur, a self-employed landscaper. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Investigators uncovered horrifying evidence. The remains of several victims had been concealed inside large planter boxes located on properties where McArthur had worked. McArthur ultimately pleaded guilty to eight counts of first-degree murder. He received a sentence of life imprisonment with no eligibility for parole for 25 years. For investigators, however, the arrest represented more than solving a case. It provided long-awaited answers for grieving families and brought an end to years of fear within Toronto's community. "Every victim deserved answers. Every family deserved the truth." Standing Before the Cameras Throughout the serial killer investigation, Hank Idsinga became the public face of the case. That responsibility required more than investigative skill. It required calm leadership. Every news conference carried enormous significance. Families were listening. The public wanted reassurance. Reporters demanded updates. Criticism surrounding aspects of the investigation intensified as the case unfolded, but Idsinga consistently appeared composed, compassionate, and professional while communicating difficult developments to the public. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His ability to balance transparency with investigative integrity earned widespread respect throughout Canada. The Murder of an Eight-Year-Old Child While serial murder investigations receive national headlines, some of the most emotionally devastating cases involve children. Idsinga also served as the lead investigator in the murder of an eight-year-old child, a case that tested every investigator involved. Few crimes affect detectives more profoundly than those involving children. The emotional weight follows investigators long after the evidence has been processed and the courtroom proceedings conclude. "Child homicide investigations stay with you forever." Those cases remind detectives why every decision matters and why justice requires both determination and extraordinary attention to detail. What It Takes to Solve Homicides Television often portrays homicide investigations as quick breakthroughs driven by dramatic confessions. Idsinga explains that reality is far more methodical. Successful investigations depend upon countless hours of: Crime scene analysis Witness interviews Forensic science Intelligence gathering Surveillance Digital evidence Interagency cooperation Persistence Sometimes one overlooked detail changes everything. Sometimes cases take years. Sometimes detectives refuse to quit because families deserve answers. Those lessons form the backbone of Idsinga's investigative philosophy. From Homicide Detective to Bestselling Author After retiring from policing, Hank Idsinga chose to preserve those lessons in writing. His memoir, The High Road: Confessions of a Homicide Cop, became a #1 National Bestseller. The Book offers readers an honest look inside homicide investigations while revealing the emotional realities rarely discussed outside police circles. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Rather than glamorizing violence, Idsinga focuses on the human side of policing. Readers discover the victories. The heartbreak. The difficult conversations. The impossible decisions. And the tremendous responsibility detectives carry every day. The book has been praised for bringing authenticity to the true crime genre while honoring both victims and investigators. The Human Side of Homicide One of the strongest themes throughout Idsinga's career is empathy. He never viewed victims as case numbers. Every investigation represented someone's parent. Someone's child. Someone's friend. Someone whose family deserved answers. That perspective helped shape the detective he became and continues to influence the stories he shares today. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. "The investigation doesn't end with an arrest. Families carry that loss forever." Why These Stories Matter Today Public fascination with true crime, Social Media, streaming documentaries, and crime podcasts has never been greater. Millions follow investigations on Facebook, debate cases on Instagram, and listen through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other Podcast platforms. Hunting A Serial Killer in Canada: Retired Toronto Police Talks About the Case That Shocked a Nation. Yet few hear directly from the investigators who actually solved these cases. That is what makes Hank Idsinga's conversation so compelling. Rather than sensationalizing violence, he provides an honest look at the investigative process, the emotional cost of homicide work, and the professionalism required to pursue justice under extraordinary pressure. His remarkable career demonstrates that solving murders requires far more than intelligence. It requires patience. Compassion. Leadership. And an unwavering commitment to victims who can no longer speak for themselves. For anyone interested in policing, criminal investigations, or the realities behind some of Canada's most significant homicide cases, Hank Idsinga's interview offers a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from the detective who helped bring one of the country's most notorious serial killers to justice while serving victims and their families with dignity throughout an extraordinary Retired Homicide career.

In October of 2021, the body of five-year-old Elijah Lewis was found buried in a Massachusetts park. And when Crystal Sorey heard what had happened to that little boy, something inside her panicked-  because she had been trying, for months, to get people to listen to her about her own missing child. Her daughter, Harmony Montgomery. Harmony was supposed to be in first grade. She was supposed to be wearing her glasses. She was supposed to be getting medical care for the condition that left her blind in one eye. She was supposed to be protected. Instead, by the time anyone officially started looking for her, Harmony had not been seen in two years. Harmony did not disappear from a life where everything seemed fine. She disappeared after years of warning signs, reports, custody battles, missed appointments, police calls, allegations of abuse, unstable homes, substance abuse, homelessness, and adults pointing fingers at every other adult in the room. Her mother failed her. Her father failed her. Her stepmother failed her. The courts failed her. Child protective services failed her. The systems built specifically to catch a little girl before she fell through the cracks watched those cracks open wider and wider. This was a child who had already spent so much of her tiny life being moved from place to place, plan to plan, home to home. A child with medical needs. A child with a little brother who loved her, missed her, and kept looking for her at playgrounds because he believed, the way children do, that if he looked hard enough, maybe she would just be there. But Harmony wasn't there. And for years, the people responsible for knowing where she was, and making sure she was safe and cared for, simply didn't.
