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. They also share how laughter creates perspective and strengthens family relationships, making room for both lighthearted moments and harder conversations. Melanie and Sophie encourage parents to know their individual child, model an authentic faith, apologize when they get things wrong, and remember that struggles are often what help kids develop resilience and make their faith their own.

Is there a really nice car that you'd like? When I worked for a big company, I had a really nice rental car for a couple of weeks and thought about buying that type of vehicle.

Do you feel stuck by a set back? If you don't now, you probably will at some point in life. My dad gave me the best advice when we were out trail running and I fell. I was complaining about the fall, even though I wasn't injured. But he was focused on the positive truth: “It doesn't matter that you fell; you got back up.” This has helped shape how I handle disappointments in life - whether it's a lost job opportunity or a personal set back. When something doesn't go your way, you can still find gratitude in seeing the positives in the situation. But perhaps the most important thing is to pause and pray. What does God want you to do with this disappointment? It might be to persevere and pursue the dream further. It might be to completely pivot to something new. Either way, don't stay down when you fall - get back up!Let's connect!Follow me on TikTok @givingyourbestlifeJoin me on YouTubeShop my books hereWith gratitude, Stephanie❤️

Do the words you speak matter? The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Are you speaking life? Sometimes we use words and phrases that we don't know what they mean or we don't think about what they mean. For example, do you tell your friends “good luck” before a test? Things such as luck, charms, and “knocking on wood” are not Biblical. We have to think about the words we say because our words have a big impact.Let's connect!Follow me on TikTok @givingyourbestlifeJoin me on YouTubeShop my books hereWith gratitude, Stephanie❤️

For the first piece of advice I wish I understood in my 20s: Talk to God everyday. He will not let you down! Friends will let you down at some point - and sometimes we need to cut them some slack (they're figuring out life too). But we can come to God with any problem, any decision, any sin in need of forgiveness. God is by your side, so talk to Him everyday!Let's connect!Follow me on TikTok @givingyourbestlifeJoin me on YouTubeShop my books hereWith gratitude, Stephanie❤️
Juan Carlos joins the show to share the incredible story of his journey from Miami to the Broadway stage. He opens up about the "athlete's mentality" he brings to his craft, a perspective shaped by his time as a high school carpenter and a college student working three jobs to make ends meet. Juan discusses the bold leap of faith he took by driving across the country to Los Angeles with no representation, only to create his own short film, Oh Brother, which ultimately served as the catalyst for his professional career. The conversation dives deep into the technical and emotional demands of originating a role in the Stranger Things universe. Juan reveals his unique approach to the audition process, including how a "bad" self-tape setup and a willingness to lean into "extrusive thoughts" helped him land the role of young Bob Newby. From hilarious stories about clogged toilets and slipping on ice to poignant reflections on being a person of color in the industry, Juan's earnestness and "delusional" optimism provide a refreshing look at what it takes to succeed in theater today. Juan Carlos is a multi-talented actor, writer, and director who made his Broadway debut in Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Growing up in Miami, Florida, he initially found his way into the arts through animation and musical theater, later honing his skills at a liberal arts college where he balanced acting with carpentry and resident assistant duties. His screen credits include roles in Grey's Anatomy, The Sex Lives of College Girls, and Elsbeth.

Do you find yourself up late at night searching for scholarships, and ways to pay for college without parental help? Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you're following God's plan for your life? In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD'S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt! I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you're ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you! Hey there! I'm Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn't heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I'm here to teach you HOW to do this, too. If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you've ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

Watching Ruby Cruz's remarkable and seemingly effortless performance in her latest film, “The Threesome,” I got a hunch that she was engaging with the work on some kind of intuitive level where connection was paramount. I also sensed that this might not be easy to talk about. In one sense I was right, the gifted young actor, who's credits include “Bottoms,” “Willow,” “Mare of Easttown” and “The Sex Lives of College Girls,” approaches the work in an elusive way, but, lucky for us, she still manages to speak about the intangible and slippery aspects with an eloquence that is inspiring. She talks about always knowing she wanted to act, how she turns insecurity into fuel, the joys of working with Zoey Deutch, why she likes to treat auditioning as “an opportunity to make something,” how it all comes down to acceptance, plus much more! Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram

Get ready to be inspired by the brilliant Lolo Spencer — actress, advocate, and game-changer. You may know her as Jocelyn in The Sex Lives of College Girls, from the award-nominated Give Me Liberty, or the heart-wrenchingly funny Bob Trevino Likes It. But Lolo's journey didn't start in Hollywood — it began with a rebellious YouTube channel (Sitting Pretty) created as an escape from corporate life. In this episode, she shares her unconventional path, from editing her own videos to landing major roles, and how authenticity and purpose have guided every step. We talk about representation, imposter syndrome, and the rom-com she's writing to shift narratives. This is a conversation about trusting your gut, showing up fully, and turning your story into your superpower. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Lauren "LoLo" Spencer right here.

Today, we sit down with Kallie Fell, the executive director of the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, to talk about bioethics (or lack thereof) in the assisted reproduction industry. We talk about everything from the lack of long-term health tracking for surrogate mothers and egg sellers to the predatory, exploitative marketing that encourages and exploits these women into selling their DNA and bodies. Kallie tells us about the lack of research into the health effects of IVF and surrogacy and how the little research we have doesn't exactly paint the fertility industry in a positive light. We also discuss some other countries that have banned surrogacy to varying degrees and how we would like to see the United States follow suit in order to protect moms and babies.
