My friend Ashley McGavin and I share all the experiments we tried this summer–in Ashley's case with a brand new baby! We talk about feeding kids in the summer, keeping them entertained, summer jobs, chores, personal development, a senior trip, and how to achieve a throwback 80s and 90s summer.    We both have 5 kids, but our families are in very different stages. My kids now range from 10 to 19, and her kids now range from four months to 14 years old.   Join us at our weekly Open Labs! Tuesdays at 10:00 MT www.familylab.com/events

Morgan brings in Dr. Marina Rosenthal, a couples therapist specializing in high-conflict couples. Dr. Marina Rosenthal breaks down what makes “high-conflict” couples different from other couples, why standard tips sometimes fail, and how trauma or neurodivergence can disguise itself as intentional hurt. She explains how to spot destructive communication patterns, why “zero conflict” isn’t the goal, and the radical, but doable, acts both partners can take to repair after a fight. We also cover realistic expectations (including whether major life decisions like having children are dealbreakers), sex and body-image issues in long-term relationships, and how to reframe differences as strengths instead of threats. Whether you’re dating or deep into a long partnership, you’ll get clear tactics and mindset shifts to try right away.

It's equal parts funny, relatable, and just a little ridiculous—classic Big Rich, TD & Fletch.

From the Great Depression to 94 Years of Wisdom: Edna's Story of Farm Life, Family, and Resilience | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description: What does nearly a century of life teach you about hardship, family, and the power of resilience? In this extraordinary episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Edna, who was born in 1931 during the Great Depression and has lived through some of the most defining moments of the 20th century. Edna takes us on a vivid journey through her childhood on a Michigan farm, memories of one-room schoolhouses, the arrival of electricity, and the everyday realities of growing up without modern conveniences. She shares powerful reflections on World War II, working through adversity, raising a family, and her long career in nursing—all told with honesty, humor, and perspective that only comes from a life well lived. From potato harvests and moonshine stories to reflections on technology and what truly matters in life, this is more than just history—it's living wisdom.

Do your kids have household chores?Some kids think taking out the trash or washing the dishes is cruel and unusual punishment. But it isn't. In fact, research shows that chores actually help kids in their physical, mental, and social development.When you give your son a job and he successfully completes it, he develops self-worth and self-esteem. This leads to confidence in knowing that he can accomplish other tasks. What a contrast to the entitlement attitude that plagues many young minds today.So do your son a favor. Find age-appropriate chores for him to work at. Not only will these chores help the house run more smoothly, but they'll also keep your son off the couch and more engaged with real life.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL, 91min., USA Directed by Harry Roseman Community, Celebration, Conversation, Chores; these are the key themes of this experimental documentary. Four days of shopping for Thanksgiving dinner as well as the meal itself are the ostensible subject of this film. Community is reflected in the interaction with people while shopping as well as the camaraderie of the dinner quests. The quotidian nature of these tasks is subverted by the abstract camerawork and narrative structure, offering the viewer a new perspective on both. The vertical orientation of the film reaffirms looking ahead as we follow the trajectory and shape of the shopping cart moving down the narrow aisles, as well as following the gaze of the filmmaker as he walks forward.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!Chores are more than just about getting the house clean. In this episode, I'm joined by Family Coach Lori Sugarman-Li and she shares how chores are opportunities to teach your kids life skills and build a stronger family dynamic.In this episode, we dig into how involving kids in the work of running a household is about so much more than ticking off tasks on a to-do list. It's about instilling responsibility, empowering them to contribute meaningfully, and fostering resilience they'll carry into adulthood.You'll learn why reframing chores as "family contributions" can transform the way your kids see them (and how you feel about enforcing them). This isn't about nagging or micromanaging—it's about helping kids understand the scope of work that keeps a family functioning and giving them a sense of pride in being part of that.Here's what we cover in this episode:Why chores aren't just chores—they're opportunities for growth and empowermentHow involving kids in household work builds self-esteem, accountability, and communication skillsSimple strategies to make chores feel like meaningful contributions instead of punishmentsHow to model the value of teamwork so your kids learn to carry their weight in the familyWays to handle pushback and frustration without creating power strugglesIf you're tired of the endless battle over chores and want a fresh, more collaborative way to approach them, this episode will help you reimagine what shared responsibility looks like in your home.Connect with Lori!Website: https://ourhomeourpride.comIG: @ourhomeourprideBuy her book here!Thank you for listening!If you're ready to break the cycles you've noticed in your marriage, reach out by booking a clarity call to become a client! https://michellepurta.as.me/clarityConnect and send a message letting me know what you took away from this episode: @michellepurtacoaching and follow me on threads @michellepurtacoaching!If you would like to support this show, please rate and review the show, and share it with people you know would love this show too!Additional Resources:Ready to put a stop to the arguments in your marriage?  Watch this free masterclass - The #1 Conversation Married Couples Need To Have (But Aren't)Want to handle conflict with more confidence?

Is protecting our kids from failure actually making them weaker? Kate Mason welcomes resilience expert and former SAS officer Tim Curtis to explore the roots of rising anxiety in children and young adults. They dive into how societal changes, overprotective parenting, and lack of free play are quietly eroding resilience—and what we can do about it. Tim and Kate unpack how modeling emotional regulation, allowing safe failure, and encouraging responsibility can help children (and even adult kids) grow stronger, more adaptable, and better prepared for life's challenges.Listen For8:20 Risky Play and Why Broken Bones Used to Mean Growth11:53 Growth Mindset and Learning Through Failure18:27 Modeling Resilience: The Bobo Doll Experiment26:11 The Lifeguard Parent: Prevent the Drowning, Not the Swimming28:01 Chores, Independence, and Resilience-Building at Home  Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one click Connect with guest: Tim CurtisWebsite | Buy the Book | Publisher Link | Link Tree | LinkedInContact Kate:Email | Website | Kate's Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X

You're staring at the homeschool plans you once felt so excited about… but now they just feel overwhelming. Your house is a mess, the kids are wild, and the doubt starts to creep in: “Why can't I keep up?” “This isn't good enough.” “I'm not good enough.” “Maybe they were right, I can't do this.” If your daily thoughts sound more like criticism than compassion, if you've ever felt ashamed, defeated, or like you're failing at the thing you care most about, you are not alone!  So many mothers talk to themselves in a way they would never speak to another adult, even though they admit with shame that they talk to their children like that to some degree.  In this week's episode I'm going to help you recognize that voice for what it really is, a bully.  And then, we're going to do something radical: I'm going to show you how to stand up to her.  Not with toxic positivity, but with truth, compassion, and the fierce love of a best friend. Because when you stop bullying yourself and start standing up for your own dignity and worthiness, everything shifts. You feel lighter. More capable. More connected. More like yourself again. And you begin showing up for your kids, your marriage, and your homeschool with the grace that comes from knowing who you truly are: a beloved daughter of God, who is always worth fighting for. If you're tired of feeling heavy and hard on yourself, and you're ready to feel seen, supported, and lighter inside your own mind and heart, I've got a podcast episode that will speak directly to the little girl inside you who just wants a hug. Grab your earbuds and join me for: Don't Talk to My Friend Like That! Come work with me HERE.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs 22:6As parents, we often wonder when to begin teaching our kids about money. The simple answer? It's never too early. In fact, a study by Purdue University found that most of our lifelong money habits are formed by the age of seven. That's a sobering realization—but also a hopeful one. Because with intentionality and biblical wisdom, we can help our children become faithful stewards from an early age.Here's how to begin—step by step.Ages 3–5: Needs, Wants, and WorshipEven toddlers can begin to understand the basics of money. Start by teaching the difference between needs and wants. A home, food, and clothing? Those are needs. But that cereal with a cartoon character? That's a want—and a perfect conversation starter.As you shop, ask your child to name which items fall into which category. Then take the opportunity to remind them: God provides all our needs and blesses us with more than we deserve.Begin using the three-jar method—one for spending, one for saving, and one for giving. When your child receives birthday money or a small allowance, help them divide it equally. Let them drop their “giving” portion into the offering plate each week. It's a simple but powerful way to connect generosity with worship.Ages 6–10: Responsibility and Short-Term GoalsAt this stage, kids are ready to take on more responsibility. Assign small chores tied to a modest allowance. If they complete the job, they earn the money. If not, the allowance waits. It's a simple lesson in accountability and work ethic.If they want something beyond their current funds, help them create a short-term savings plan. Use sticker charts or visual trackers to make progress fun and tangible.Give your child a few dollars and let them plan how to spend it on snacks for the week. This is a great way to teach a foundational principle from financial teacher Ron Blue:“You always have more choices than money.”Encourage your child to give regularly to causes they care about. Ask why they want to give—and help them understand how giving reflects God's heart.Ages 11–15: Bigger Goals, Delayed GratificationNow your child may be babysitting, mowing lawns, or doing small jobs for neighbors. It's the perfect time to talk about larger savings goals—maybe a new bike or a camp trip.Consider opening a custodial savings account or using a kid-friendly money app. Walk through monthly statements together and celebrate milestones. Let them make decisions (and occasional mistakes) while you're close by to guide them.If they want to buy something online, encourage them to wait a few days, compare options, and pray before making a purchase. The lesson is clear: patience often leads to better decisions.Ages 16–18: Real-World Practice and Investing BasicsTeenagers who are working part-time jobs are ready for more advanced money management.Help them set up a formal budget with real income and categories for saving, spending, and giving. This is also a good time to introduce matching incentives: If they save $500, you match it, just like an employer's 401(k) might.Let them research a company and buy a fractional share through a custodial brokerage account.

Freedomain FLASH Live Chat 1 May 2025In this episode, I examine the intricate relationship between motivation and daily responsibilities through a caller's experience of contrasting passion for hiking with aversion to essential tasks. We discuss how childhood influences shape our current attitudes towards chores and the emotional weight tied to them. By reframing these tasks as acts of self-care, I encourage listeners to reclaim agency and separate personal values from past grievances, fostering personal growth and motivation driven from within.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

The fellas are back from vacation and have lots to catch up on! Jon recently returned from Europe. He bravely transformed into "vacation Jon," embracing the holiday spirit by not stressing about money and being ready to spend "enchanted money," despite usually being more frugal. He even endured intense cycling in Mallorca and had a run-in (kinda) with Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Dave took his own family to Trail West, a Young Life camp in Buena Vista Colorado, describing it as a resort experience focused on family bonding, conveniently without televisions in the rooms. They also delved into their kids' music tastes. Dave, ever the music enthusiast, admitted to running a "regime" in his car, making his kids listen to '90s R&B and hip-hop. He uses these car rides as teaching moments for music history. They also dive deep on getting your teenager their first phone. Join us: ⁠http://dadville.substack.com⁠ Thanks to our sponsors!
