The modern obsession with the “soft life”—a viral ethos of radical self-care and conflict-free living—masquerades as liberation while enacting a profound betrayal of human potential.

Today we're diving into a topic that's sometimes tricky to navigate as parents: consent. My guest for this conversation is educator and consent expert Sarah Casper, founder of Comprehensive Consent and author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum. Sarah has taught thousands of children, teens, and adults how to build healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships through a social-emotional lens. Her approach is as thoughtful as it is practical. In this conversation, Sarah and I explored how consent starts early, with the little, everyday interactions that help kids understand their boundaries, express their wants and needs, and learn to respect others wants and needs. We talked about the challenges of balancing safety with autonomy, especially when it comes to things like hygiene, personal space, and social expectations, and why this balance is nuanced when parenting neurodivergent children. Sarah also shared some real-world strategies for introducing consent language at home, navigating pushback, and supporting kids in building self-awareness and self-esteem. If you've ever wondered how to model boundaries while still honoring your child's agency, I know you will find this episode valuable. And hopefully you'll feel inspired to do the activity Sarah shared at the end of the episode with your family because it's a great way to evaluate how choices are being made at home and it will help you understand each other a little better.  About Sarah Casper Sarah Casper is an educator, author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum, and the founder of Comprehensive Consent, a social-emotional learning approach to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships. Through her in-school workshops, online classes, and social media content, Sarah has helped thousands of kids, adolescents, and adults deepen their consent practices.  Things you'll learn from this episode Consent begins in childhood through small, everyday practices that honor bodily autonomy, encourage agency, and invite mutual respect Teaching consent means offering choices, being honest about our intentions, and recognizing when to pivot based on our child's cues Healthy relationships are rooted in collaboration, not control, and thrive when power dynamics are acknowledged Navigating consent with kids involves balancing their safety with their right to say no, especially in situations involving hygiene, touch, or personal space Supporting a child's self-regulation and practicing our own helps reduce resentment, foster trust, and model respectful boundary-setting Neurodivergent kids may need extra support in understanding and expressing consent, which makes child-led play and behavior-based communication all the more important  Resources mentioned Comprehensive Consent (Sarah's website) The Kids & Consent Curriculum: 25 Whole-Classroom Lessons to Teach Boundaries, Collaboration, and Respect by Sarah Casper Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically by Dr. Devon Price Dr. Devon Price on the Autistic Person's Guide to Unmasking for Life (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Akilah Richards on Raising Free People (Tilt Parenting Podcast) The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier by Dr. David Yeager Learn more about your ad choices.

We're continuing our special series all about school options, and today we're diving into private Christian education. This is a conversation that I think will really help if you're trying to figure out what role faith can (and should) play in your child's school life. I'm joined by Katelyn Freitas, the middle school principal at my kids' school, and her insight is full of heart, wisdom, and practical encouragement.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:Faith-based learning shapes character. Discipleship is woven into every subject and classroom moment.Partnership with parents matters. Christian schools work best when parents are active, involved, and aligned in mission.Community changes everything. Relationships between students, families, and staff create a spiritual foundation that lasts.Every child is discipled uniquely. Christian schools aren't one-size-fits-all; they're about helping each child grow in Christ.Katelyn is a passionate leader in Christian education with years of experience in both teaching and administration. As a principal, she brings clarity, compassion, and a deep commitment to seeing students flourish academically and spiritually. She's also someone I personally trust with my own kids which made this conversation extra special.I hope this episode encourages you as you consider what's best for your family.(02:54) Current Role and Responsibilities in Christian Education(05:58) Understanding Private Christian Education(09:08) Benefits of Private Christian Schools(11:58) Challenges of Private Christian Education(15:05) Community and Family Dynamics in Private Schools(18:00) Identifying the Right Fit for Families(20:56) Curriculum and Faith Integration in Christian Schools(21:37) Integrating Faith and Education(27:31) Discipline vs. Discipleship in Schools(33:02) Navigating School Choices for FamiliesResources MentionedChapel Hill AcademyAssociation of Christian SchoolsNIV Application BibleChristian Parenting resourcesMarriage SimplifiedThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Josh Recio from the UT Charles A. Dana Center challenges the mathematical status quo by advocating for quantitative reasoning courses as equally valuable to the traditional calculus pathway. His work with the Dana Center's Launch Years Initiative aims to provide students with math courses aligned to their future careers, emphasizing numeracy, mathematical modeling, and statistical reasoning skills needed in today's workplace.• Students need quantitative reasoning skills for their civic, personal, and professional lives• Traditional push toward calculus causes many students to miss developing crucial analytical skills• QR courses focus on solving relevant, age-appropriate problems using mathematics as a tool• Many QR courses are incorrectly viewed as "lesser than" or "low rigor" alternatives• Changing perceptions requires legitimizing QR through higher standards and recognition from influential institutionsCheck out our future episode where we'll dive deeper into the Launch Years Initiative, exploring how this approach is working to move these ideas into actual practice.

What does 25 years of homeschooling experience teach you about education, purpose, and raising confident children? Audrey Rindlisbacher takes us behind the scenes of her journey homeschooling six children from the days when resources were scarce and stigma was strong.Like many parents, Audrey initially questioned her qualifications. "I remember pacing the kitchen floor asking my husband, 'Are we just supposed to take this leap of faith and hope in 10 years that we didn't royally screw up our kids?'" That familiar fear nearly prevented her from discovering what would become her life's work. The turning point came at a homeschool convention where she witnessed education through games—an approach that shattered her preconceptions about learning.Audrey shares revelations that transformed her homeschooling philosophy, including Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory. While traditional schools target just two types of intelligence (linguistic and mathematical), homeschooling allowed her to nurture all nine forms of intelligence in her children. This personalized approach helped each child discover their unique gifts, particularly benefiting those whose strengths lay outside conventional academic areas.Rather than simply recreating school at home, Audrey focused on equipping her children with essential skills for lifelong learning. The common thread? Keeping doors of opportunity open while honoring individual passions and learning styles.Perhaps most surprising is how homeschooling became a journey of self-discovery for Audrey herself, leading to writing "The Mission Driven Life" and creating academies for both mothers and teens. Her story demonstrates how educating your children can unveil your own purpose and talents.If you're considering homeschooling or struggling with doubts, Audrey offers this encouragement: "You can do this. Your unique way of being and skillset are gifts to your family, and they can blossom in a homeschool environment."

We all have “favorite places”, and for this week's guest, it is the island of Nantucket.  Julie Gerstenblatt has been spending her summers there since she was just a child. Accessible by air or by ferry, Nantucket is located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.  Steeped in history, Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world, and even today, it seems frozen in time. Rooted in the story of the Great Fire of 1846,  Julie's historical novel required years of research.  Focused on three complex, strong, and determined female characters, Daughters of Nantucket explores the lonely lives of whaling wives, the secrecy of sexuality, and race relations on an island influenced by Quaker values.   A lifelong writer and the proud mother of two grown children, Julie holds a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Teachers College, Columbia University. In this interview, she shares the struggles writers often experience.  Says Julie:  “You write in silence and in secrecy, but you have to share it at some point with people, and you hope it does well, but there is so much rejection.” Always inspired to write books that teach AND entertain, Julie has another historical novel scheduled for release in 2026.  She's also ready to share her wisdom about what success really means.  “Success is balance and fulfillment on a deeper level.  It's not about the material things and the “having,” it's about being content in the “being.”   Ready for a little inspiration?  Go ahead and hit that download button.  #nantucket #writer #historicalnovel

Der Pfingstmontag fiel im Jahre 1925 auf den 1. Juni, einen Montag. An diesem Tag erschienen keine Zeitungen, weshalb wir heute auf die Pfingst-Sonntagsangabe vom 31. Mai des Hamburger Echo zurückgreifen. In ihr erfahren wir, aus der Sicht der christlichen Parteien, Ungeheurliches: hatte doch der preußische Bildungsminister Otto Boelitz Philosophie als Pflichtfach auf das Curriculum der Oberschulen gesetzt. Die gegenüber diesem Vorstoß sehr positiv gestimmte sozialdemokratische Zeitung setzt bei der allgemeinen Frage, was denn überhaupt Philosophie sei, an, um dann den Kampf der Rechtsparteien gegen den Philosophieunterricht zu schildern, der, wie uns Frank Riede mitteilt, zwar erfolgreich war, aber die Philosophie nicht ganz aus der Schule vertreiben konnte.

Dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, dysgraphia, dyscalculia - when faced with multiple learning challenges, homeschooling might seem daunting. Yet for Erin Cox, these diagnoses became the catalyst for an extraordinary educational journey spanning 14 years and culminating in the creation of a curriculum company that serves thousands of families.In this illuminating conversation, Erin shares how her daughter who specialists said might "never learn to read" flourished through personalized homeschool instruction. Her approach - setting 15-minute timers to prevent frustration, incorporating movement through hopscotch sight words, and celebrating small victories - demonstrates how home education allows for the adaptation no traditional classroom could provide. "When you have dyslexia, it tends to take seven times longer to remember something than it does a neurotypical child," Erin explains, underscoring why the consistent, patient attention of homeschooling proved transformative.The discussion takes a fascinating turn when Erin clarifies the misunderstood relationship between Charlotte Mason and classical education philosophies. As founder of Gentle Classical Press, she articulates how these approaches aren't opposing methods but complementary traditions that both emphasize virtue formation and living books. "Charlotte Mason was a classical educator," she notes, dispelling common misconceptions perpetuated by curriculum marketing.Whether you're teaching a child with learning differences, considering homeschooling for the first time, or simply curious about educational philosophies, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouraging perspective. Erin's parting advice resonates with both seasoned and prospective homeschoolers alike: "You know your child better than anyone else... don't try to figure everything out in advance. Just do the next right thing."Ready to explore Gentle Classical Press or connect with Erin?

A case with a thin record is raising plenty of questions at the Supreme Court. In this episode, Amanda and Holly examine the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, which involves parents who want to opt their children out of public school curriculum they say conflicts with their religious beliefs. But, what's the difference between expected exposure and unconstitutional coercion? Does age matter? What happens when opt-out options become too burdensome and overwhelming to accommodate? Amanda and Holly examine the issues in this case as well as the challenges for the school district and for the parents. They also share what the oral arguments revealed about the justices' interest in the books and discussions outside of the courtroom.     SHOW NOTES Segment 1 (starting at 01:50): Remembering Justice David Souter Amanda and Holly released a live mini-episode on Tuesday, May 27, to review the Supreme Court decision in the religious charter school case, the voucher proposal in the budget reconciliation bill, and a court decision halting the dismantling of the Department of Education. Hear the episode at this link or in your podcast feed, or watch it on YouTube.

An Oklahoma Catholic school was refused government funding due to its ideology and worldview taught in the curriculum. The US Supreme Court concurred, finally acknowledging that only a secular humanist curriculum may be supported by tax dollars. The state would have to impose limits on curriculum choices. Two points. Education is not neutral. And education must reside under parental funding and control. This program includes: 1.

What if the most painful moments of your life aren't random suffering, but sacred initiations designed to unlock deeper levels of spiritual maturity? In this episode, Raj and Alex explore the concept of "portals" - those intense transitional periods that feel like they'll never end, whether triggered by heartbreak, loss, or life-altering challenges. Unlike ordinary hardships, portals become transformational when you consciously choose to see them as opportunities for growth rather than just crisis. This shift in perspective transforms you from victim to initiate, moving you through the three ascending levels of spiritual development.What You'll Discover:• The Portal vs. Crisis Distinction - Why some people emerge from difficult times completely transformed while others remain stuck in victim consciousness, and how to consciously step into the portal experience• The Faith → Trust → Knowing Progression - The three distinct levels of spiritual initiation that portals are designed to activate, and how to recognize which level you're currently operating from• The Alchemy of Breakup Medicine - Why relationship endings might be the most potent transformation tool available, and the critical window of opportunity that determines whether you'll access its full healing power• The Art of Ritual During Chaos - Specific ceremonial practices for both releasing what's dying and designing what's being born, plus how to create sacred space even when your world is falling apart• The Hero's Journey Pattern in Personal Crisis - How every portal follows a predictable arc from descent into shadow to emergence as teacher, and why recognizing this pattern accelerates your transformation• Life's Curriculum of Surrender - The profound truth about why challenges keep showing up until you master specific spiritual lessons, and what happens when you finally stop resisting the initiationReady to Transform Your Relationship with Difficulty?This isn't just another conversation about getting through hard times - it's a masterclass in recognizing the sacred intelligence behind your struggles. If you've ever wondered why life keeps dealing you seemingly impossible cards, or if you're currently in the thick of a transition that feels endless, this episode will fundamentally shift how you relate to difficulty forever. Raj reveals why "God won't throw you to the wolves unless you have a wolf in you," and exactly how to access the gifts hidden inside your most challenging moments. Stop seeing your struggles as punishment and start recognizing them as your soul's curriculum for awakening.Connect with Raj:Instagram: @raj_janaSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

What happens when you choose to step away from mainstream expectations and reclaim your family's destiny? Mary Wainwright's journey from conventional life to intentional living offers a roadmap for those feeling trapped in industrial systems.Mary returns to share insights from her new book "Taking Back My Life," which chronicles her radical transformation across every aspect of family living. She takes us through the stark contrast between her traumatic hospital birth and her subsequent empowering home births, revealing how this experience catalyzed her entire lifestyle shift. Rather than presenting her choices as the "right way," Mary simply illuminates alternatives many families never consider.The conversation explores how modern society has systematically disconnected us from fundamental knowledge in just one or two generations. From growing food to understanding natural remedies, we've surrendered our self-sufficiency to systems that often prioritize profit over wellbeing. Mary shares practical steps anyone can take - starting a small garden, learning to make bone broth, or questioning medical interventions - that gradually build toward greater independence.Perhaps most powerful is Mary's reflection on community building. She describes creating a "tribe" where families barter skills, share resources, and collectively raise children. This interdependence makes sustainable living not just possible but deeply fulfilling, addressing the isolation that drove many women away from traditional roles decades ago.The conversation continually returns to fear as the controlling mechanism that keeps us compliant within industrial systems. By recognizing this pattern and making intentional choices about time, education, health, and community, Mary demonstrates how families can create lives aligned with their deepest values rather than external expectations. Her parting question resonates: "Are you living the life you want your children to replicate?"Ready to reclaim aspects of your family's life?

Can spontaneity and scholarship go together? “Yes and…”  In this episode of Speaking of Higher Ed, we welcome Dr. Meredith Rausch—Associate Professor of Research, Counseling & Curriculum at Augusta University's College of Education and Human Development. An NBCC Servant Leadership Award recipient and Augusta University Outstanding Faculty Award winner, Dr. Rausch's award‑winning research on underserved populations informs her inclusive approach to teaching. We trace her journey from the classroom to Chicago's famed Second City, where immersive improv training sparked her “A‑ha” moment: recognizing that the same principles that make improv so engaging—active listening, embracing failure, and building on others' ideas—can transform scholarly instruction. Dr. Rausch then shares improv‑inspired strategies for the classroom—from quick “yes, and…” warm‑ups to collaborative storytelling exercises—that foster creativity, build community, and help both faculty and students adapt in real time. Join us to discover how weaving improv into your pedagogy can spark curiosity, deepen engagement, and make learning more dynamic. Get free access to more of our content, visit our show page for full episodes and additional resources.

Conversation Takeaways AI is any technology that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence. Educators need to understand AI to effectively teach students about it. AI is already embedded in our daily lives, often without us realizing it. Policies should focus on how to use AI, not just how not to use it. AI can enhance productivity and support educators in their roles. Professional development on AI is crucial for educators. AI literacy will become a key component of digital literacy in schools. Collaboration between curriculum and technology departments is essential. AI can help create lesson plans and teaching materials efficiently. The future of education will increasingly integrate AI across various subjects.
