In this deeply moving episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Serese Marotta, Deputy CEO of Vaccinate Your Family, to discuss the critical importance of protecting our children as we head into respiratory illness seasons. Serese bravely opened up about her own personal tragedy, losing her healthy, five-year-old son, Joseph to H1N1 influence. Hearing Serese's story is a powerful reminder of why we do this work and why evidence-based education is so vital. We dove into real-world barriers families face, why even healthy children need protection against preventable illnesses, and how system-wide burnout in medicine can sometimes drive parents away from trusted doctors. We discuss: How physician burnout inadvertently fuels vaccine hesitancy The reality of flu severity in healthy children Vaccinate Your Family's mission to improve vaccine access and education Dr. Mona's personal experience with vaccine anxiety as a pediatrician and mom Common flu shot myths and safety misconceptions The role of social responsibility and herd immunity in protecting kids Connect with Serese Marotta on Instagram @vaccinateyourfamily and through vaccinateyourfamily.org Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Dolly was someone who loved her family and loved her town. That being said, her death should be a reminder of the message of Psalm 49.

What if the decisions you're making today aren't just impacting you, but your children, your family, and generations you may never meet?In Acts 16, we're introduced to Lydia, a successful businesswoman whose encounter with God didn't stop with her. Scripture tells us that after Lydia was baptized, her household was baptized too.That small detail has completely changed the way I've been thinking about legacy.In this episode, we're talking about what we're modeling through our faith, relationships, physical habits, and businesses. Because whether we realize it or not, the people coming behind us are watching how we handle hard things, how we treat people, how we care for ourselves, how we pursue God, and whether we're willing to take risks and finish what we start.I also share some personal examples of how I've seen this play out in my own family, including choices my parents made decades ago that are still impacting my family today.Your business can make money. But your life has the opportunity to make an impact that lasts far beyond you.What are you modeling for the generation coming behind you?

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
Is Something in Your Home Quietly Affecting Your Family's Nervous System? Hidden everyday habits may be adding stress to your child's brain without you realizing it. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge shares practical, science-backed strategies through her Regulation First Parenting™ approach to help families reduce emotional dysregulation and build calmer, more resilient nervous systems.Many parents focus on stress, sleep, and nutrition—but what if hidden environmental factors are also playing a role?In this episode, I sit down with EMF expert Nick Pinault to discuss how everyday technology may contribute to nervous system stress—and more importantly, what parents can realistically do without fear or overwhelm.Let's calm the brain first, because small changes can make a meaningful difference.Why are some kids more sensitive to environmental stressors?Not every child responds to environmental stress in the same way. Children with ADHD, anxiety, autism, OCD, PANS/PANDAS, or other forms of nervous system dysregulation often have more sensitive nervous systems.Behavior is communication. Sometimes what looks like defiance or emotional reactivity is really an overwhelmed brain asking for support.Simple ways to reduce stress on the nervous system:Turn off Wi-Fi overnight.Keep phones out of bedrooms.Use speakerphone or wired headphones when possible.Prioritize healthy sleep habits.A regulated nervous system is more resilient to everyday challenges.Can EMFs affect my child's sleep and nervous system?One of the biggest concerns discussed is sleep quality.Nick explains that research suggests wireless radiation before bedtime may make it harder for the brain to fully transition into sleep. Since sleep is one of the biggest regulators of emotional health, protecting it is one of the simplest ways to support your child.Imagine your child struggles every morning despite getting enough hours in bed. Before assuming they're lazy or oppositional, it may be worth looking at bedtime routines—including where devices are kept.Better sleep habits include:Charging phones outside the bedroom.Turning devices to Airplane Mode.Creating a technology-free bedtime routine.Shutting off Wi-Fi overnight whenever possible.What simple changes can parents make without giving up technology?The good news is that this conversation isn't about eliminating technology.It's about making small, sustainable choices that reduce unnecessary exposure while supporting better nervous system health.Easy changes any family can make:Use wired headphones at home.Download movies before travel instead of streaming.Use Ethernet when possible.Keep devices away from your body when not in use.Model healthy technology habits for your children.Progress—not perfection—is the goal.

Twelve weeks of parental leave. Then you're back at your desk, wondering why it feels so hard. Today we're posting an episode from Rattled, our podcast for parents of newborns and babies, because it's about something everybody experiences. It's the final part of our three-part series with Care.com on finding care for your baby, and it's about a transition nobody preps you for: going back to work. Dr. Becky sits down with Lauren Smith Brody, journalist and author of The Fifth Trimester, who's interviewed hundreds of working moms about this exact moment (and lived it herself). Lauren calls her own first day back "the second cutting of the cord." She's got names for feelings you didn't know had names: benevolent discrimination, gatekeeping, the 0.5x version of yourself who has to show up the second you walk through your front door. They also get practical: how to turn decisions into systems before decision fatigue wrecks your evening, what a "ramp up" program actually looks like, and why mom guilt is, in Lauren's words, "a sexist, classist social construct" you can solve for like a math problem.

Hey Heal Squad! What better way to celebrate the back-to-school season than with one of TV's most iconic high schoolers: the one and only Jennie Garth, aka Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills, 90210. Since leaving West Beverly, Jennie has built an incredible life and career…. starring in What I Like About You, competing on Dancing with the Stars, raising three daughters, writing her memoir I Choose Me, and creating a whole new chapter around what it really means to choose yourself. Today, Jennie opens up to Maria about the rock-bottom period after her divorce and the biggest mistake she says she made: isolating herself instead of letting people support her. She shares what actually helped her climb out, like friendship, nature, therapy, creativity, and becoming determined to feel joy again. They also look back at the 90210 years, what it was like to spend her entire young adulthood on set, why leaving the show felt like a grief process, and how the cast eventually found their way back to one another later in life. Plus, Jennie gets candid about her health journey… from a shocking jet ski accident with Luke Perry to severe memory issues that led her to Dr. Amen and a brain scan. This one is part nostalgia, part healing, and a powerful reminder that sometimes choosing yourself starts with simply deciding you want to feel better, and staying persistent until you do. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Isolation Makes Hard Times Harder: After her divorce, Jennie admits she isolated herself out of shame and now wishes she had let her friends support her sooner. Getting outside, hiking with friends, meeting new people and allowing laughter back into her life helped her begin climbing out of that period. Pay Attention to What Your Brain + Body Are Telling You: Jennie's severe memory issues became so concerning that she feared early-onset Alzheimer's or dementia. A brain scan revealed irregularities that Dr. Amen could be connected to a past head injury, while Jennie also believes then-unrecognized perimenopause was contributing. You Have to Be Persistent in Your Quest to Feel Better: Jennie says she became determined to feel joy again, trying different therapies, workshops, spending time in nature and eventually rediscovering creativity through designing a home. Her takeaway: change required consistency, figuring out what kind of life she actually wanted, and doing more of what made her feel alive.

A controversial family photo went viral on X, and the reaction exposed something deeper than an argument over adoption.Why were some people who consider themselves conservative accusing a Christian family of betraying their own race because they adopted two children? Why did people read sinister motives into an ordinary family photograph? And what does this reveal about the direction of the online Right?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines the controversy surrounding a family with one biological daughter and two adopted sons, and argues that some online conservatives are losing the very principles they claim to defend.Adoption is not about abandoning your family or your society. It can be an expression of responsibility, paternalism, Christian charity, and a willingness to shoulder burdens for the sake of children and the community. The adopted children in this case were American children who came through the Nevada foster care system, not foreign children imported into the country.Jon also discusses:• Why adopted children should be treated as genuine members of the family• The Christian significance of adoption• How social media encourages paranoia and impulsive reactions• Why conservatism requires realism rather than utopian thinking• The relationship between adoption, family, and social stability• Why paternalism is not the same thing as cruelty• The Christian understanding of masculine strength and responsibility• The Western tradition of paternal responsibility• Why Christians should think about preserving society while also caring for vulnerable childrenThe larger question is simple: **What exactly are we trying to conserve?**Jon also shares an encouraging story from a recent visit to Word of Life in the Adirondacks and reflects on why Christians should not assume that Christianity is disappearing simply because the internet makes everything look like a crisis.This is a discussion about adoption, conservatism, Christianity, masculinity, paternalism, social media, and the responsibility we have toward the people and communities we will leave to the next generation.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street drops an ordinary family into extraordinary circumstances, forcing them to focus all their energy on surviving— and maybe, just maybe, learning to understand each other along the way. That structure, combined with Oak Street’s Spielbergian spectacle, pointed us toward 2005’s War of the Worlds, which fuses H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel to images and emotions that draw on the attacks of 9/11. How that approach holds up a quarter-century removed from the events that inspired it is up for discussion this week, along with where War of the Worlds falls on the Steven Spielberg Alien-Encounter Continuum, and just how close that sentimental ending comes to ruining the movie entirely. Then in Feedback, a listener, with an assist from Orson Welles, invites us to get galaxy-brained on the nature of homage as it relates to cinema generally and this podcast specifically. Please share your thoughts about War of the Worlds, The End of Oak Street, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Episode 330: 7 Steps to Building a Christian Family — Part 5 Text: Deuteronomy 6:6–12 (review of 6–9, new focus on 10–12) Recap of Steps So Far Underlying foundation: knowing God — building a real, living relationship with Him (not just a salvation moment). Fear God — reverent awe + healthy fear of consequences. Keep God First — requires ongoing self-examination ("Lord, am I keeping you first?"). This is similiar to the purpose of a revival: intentional, recurring evaluation of the heart. Love God with heart, soul, might/mind/strength — loving God with total, unguarded enthusiasm. Teach God's Word Diligently — not just memorization but application, so Scripture "pops up" in the heart in the moment of decision or conviction (Proverbs 6). Step 5 (this episode): Enjoy God's Blessings Wisely (Don't Forget God in Abundance) Deut. 6:10–12 — warns Israel that once they live in houses they didn't build, drink from wells they didn't dig, and eat from vineyards they didn't plant, and are "full," the danger is forgetting the Lord. This step "nails us as Americans" — most people live in homes they didn't build, eat food they didn't grow, and eat out of fullness/abundance rather than hunger. God is not against blessing/prosperity — the text itself promises houses, food, and abundance as gifts from God. Nice homes, cars, and possessions aren't inherently wrong or "spoiled." Caution: don't confuse God's blessing with the American Dream. Someone can have the bigger house, nicer car, or yacht and be completely unblessed if their family and relationship with God are falling apart. True blessing shows up as peace, joy, love, and gentleness in the home — not material markers. Scripture ties blessing to obedience/pursuit of righteousness (referenced the Deuteronomy blessings/curses passage and the pattern seen across Joshua vs. Judges) — but this isn't a strict formula; God remains gracious even amid failure. Practical Application: Enjoying Blessings "With Care" / Frugality Money has two purposes: to live, and to give — live more frugally (smaller home, older-but-nice car, lower payments) to free up margin for giving and to avoid overwork that outsources parenting to daycare/babysitters. Have a grateful heart as a discipline — actively resisting complaint over aging cars, food choices, etc., which the hosts frame as a subtle form of forgetting God. Practical family habit: praying before meals with genuine, unhurried gratitude rather than rote routine; teaching kids a thankfulness verse; verbally noting "isn't it amazing we get to eat like this?" as a repeated family phrase. How blessed are you? In your blessings, are you forgetting God?(e.g., packed schedules of travel/activities, expensive Christian schooling, but no family devotions, gratitude, or altar at home).
We are less than two weeks away from the kickoff of the 2026 season, and the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, presented by Strategic Solutions Sanitation, is coming with some fresh analysis. Travis Justice and former Husker All-American, Dr. Rob Zatechka, dive deep into the defensive side of the ball. Dr. Rob believes that if the Huskers are going to move beyond six or seven wins in 2026, they'll need to improve significantly on defense. Especially upfront on the defensive line and in their ability to stop the run against Big 10 opponents. Dr. Rob believes that with a new Defensive Coordinator, new defensive position coaches, and a good mix of returning players and transfers, the pieces are in place. But he's been burned before, and that's why he's taking a wait-and-see approach before he comes to any conclusion on how talented the defense really is. One of the last remaining records for Husker Football going back to the “Glory Days” is the sellout streak. It currently is at 410 consecutive games, dating back to 1962. The streak is in serious jeopardy, and the athletic department is selling attractive ticket packages to try to keep it going. Is now the time to let it stop? Sure, the sellout streak is a source of pride, but it has also become something of an eye-roll in the college football world, as TV often shows a stadium far from full when the Huskers are on TV. Holding on to the sellout streak can, and in many ways does, look like desperation when you are giving away tickets or buying them up just to keep it alive. In the end, the best way to sell out the stadium is to put a good product on the field that fans can be proud of. If we are being honest, Nebraska hasn't done that in over a decade.

- How are former pros able to come back to college - What Lane Kiffin has to say about the situation - Children, College, and Family
Throughout a summer of unexpected experiences, God showed us that He is good all the time. A Job-like season- that was my summer. I am sharing it because it is a perfect example of how God is good all the time. His character is definitive. He never leaves us or forsakes us. At the end of 2025, I chose the word trust for 2026. This summer, God showed me, through God winks, that trust in him is imperative to live this life. He gave me constant opportunities to build that trust and lean into it. I am finally catching my breath. It has been wild, an absolutely emotional summer. The Summer Began With a Farmhouse Dream And then a health crisis for our son The day after we closed on the farmhouse, we were set to fly to Greece for my daughter's graduation gift. The night before, at 8 p.m., we were at the farmhouse teaching friends how to care for the three sheep we inherited with the house. My husband's phone rang. It was my son's fiancée's father. He said our son was on his way to the hospital by ambulance. That was all he knew. Emergency Surgery Showed God's Hand in the Chaos The waiting game. Confident they are meant for each other. Sudden Grief Met Unmistakable God Winks Almost a month to the day after our son's surgery, my niece called me at 4 a.m. My brother-in-law had chest pain, fell, and had no pulse. For the next hour, I prayed the rosary, and my husband and I lay awake praying. At 5 a.m., we got the call that despite the efforts of medical staff, he did not survive. Still hard to handle - One thing she said over and over is "how do people do this without faith?" A Violin in the Rain: An Unforgettable God Wink Leaving our home of twenty-six years brought a new set of emotions After returning from the funeral in Illinois, it was time to pack up the house and get our daughter ready for college. Due to the unexpected events of the summer, she had to do a lot of her packing herself. Not only packing for college, but also packing up her childhood bedroom. It was an emotional week. Plans Changed The move has always been an underlying source of emotions since we closed on the farmhouse in June. We thought we had planned precisely so that we could move into the carriage house during renovations of the main house. But you know what they say about making plans - man makes plans, and God laughs. Empty Nester And now, the empty nest phase of our lives begins. I was not prepared for how emotional I would be leaving my daughter 14 hours away. No one could have prepared me for going from seeing two of my kids (the third lives and works in the DC metro area) every day to seeing none of them. I miss them fiercely. But I am also thrilled that they have these opportunities to grow and spread their wings, and I trust that God will guide and protect them on their new journeys. Scripture That Carried Us Through the Unexpected Several Bible verses carried me through the summer. The first I would like to share is 2 Timothy 1:7, which says God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but power, love, and self-control. Philippians 3:13-14 reminds me to stop dwelling on the past and press on toward what is ahead. Jeremiah 29:11 says God's plans are for our welfare, not to harm us, but to give us hope and a future. Isaiah 41:10 says not to fear, because God is with us and will strengthen us. God Is Good All the Time — Even When Life Is Hard Read the full show notes.
Are you a senior director, VP, or elite account executive completely nose-down in your career, chasing corporate accolades, status, and wealth while your family's attention slips away? In this highly reflective solo episode, host Billy Keels breaks his own rules to make a mandatory recommendation: anyone managing a demanding multinational career needs to watch George Clooney's movie J. Kelly. Following the story of a massively successful, wealthy superstar actor at the tail end of his career, Billy highlights the painful, subtle realities of a high performer who achieved the absolute pinnacle of external validation, only to realize his deepest true desire was simply to capture the attention of his daughters—before realizing he had spent decades being "on" for the wrong people. Learn how to find true harmony over balance, escape the corporate machine's lease option on your life, and intentionally protect the relationships that actually belong to you before time runs out.
It's Tuesday, August 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Indonesian pastor sentenced for citing Mohammed's polygamy An Indonesian pastor has been sentenced to two years in prison for pointing out Mohammad's polygamy. At the time of his death, the founder of Islam had nine wives. Dedi Saputra was falsely accused of “hostility, hatred or incitement” with a “potential of causing unrest.” Like Dedi, the Apostle Paul ran into troubles along the way as well. In Acts 17:4-5, Luke writes, “And some of them [in Thessalonica] were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. “But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar.” Surrogate mother speaks up for choosing life Baby Gabriel, the child in the middle of a massive rent-a-womb controversy, has survived his first heart surgery since being born two weeks ago. The child's surrogate mother, McKenna West, refused to abort him despite being sued by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed. However, Baby Gabriel is now in the custody of the very parents who sought to have him killed! In the New York Post, Miss West wrote, “No woman should be forced to kill the baby inside her. Most importantly, every child deserves a chance to live. As a cardiac nurse, I knew this little one had a great shot at survival if given the opportunity to receive the necessary treatment. “After I communicated to the contracting couple that I could not end this baby's life, their lawyer, and my own former lawyer, sent me letters threatening six-figure penalties if I didn't comply with their demand to terminate. The contracting couple cut off my payments, and I covered the rest of the pregnancy expenses myself.” Here's what Miss West told Lila Rose in the Live Action podcast. WEST: “A diagnosis does not automatically mean that there is no hope or that somebody cannot live. But I knew that this baby boy that I was carrying, that I was feeling move, that he deserved that chance.” Listen to this word for our day from Exodus 22:22-24. “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” America and Canada at a stalemate in trade war The United States and Canada are in another trade war. The White House has announced that the U.S. will impose 50% tariffs on certain Canadian products like vehicles and steel imports. And now, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will “hit back.” Here's what Carney said in a press conference on Saturday: “You're at war when you're attacked, and we got attacked.” He added this. CARNEY: “We cannot accept what they've offered and we will not give what they've asked.” (Read the transcript of Carney's remarks) Trump added this on Truth Social on Sunday: “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!! They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of tariffs. No more!!!” United States to buy back its own bonds to lower inflation U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the federal government will be buying back its own bonds in an effort to rein in inflation and reduce the interest on the bonds, reports CNBC. That means that the government will use its $1 trillion checking account -- which happens to be borrowed money to begin with -- to buy its long-term bonds, in an artificial attempt to reduce interest rates. U.S. debt topped $40 trillion The United States federal debt topped $40 trillion last week, reports CBS News. (Check out the eye-opening website www.USDebtClock.org) The market responded. According to Fortune Magazine, gold is back up to $4,650 an ounce and silver is scraping $70 an ounce. Condo prices sinking Condo prices are sinking like a rock in 33 major city markets including in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, and Washington state. Wolf Street estimates a 29% average drop since the 2022 peak. Add inflation into that and that's a 38% drop in condominium prices. Condo prices can signal housing stress before the rest of the market collapses. Divorce rate up for those over 55 U.S. divorce rates are way up for people older than 55 years of age. In fact, they've doubled since 1990. And, among those over 65, the divorce rate has increase five-fold since 1990. A recent Bowling Green University study found that the 50+ crowd now accounts for nearly 40% of all people getting divorced. That was only 8% in 1990. 2032 is Social security depletion date The Social Security depletion date has moved up another three months, now targeted for 2032. The ratio of workers paying into Social Security per retiree has plummeted from more than 5-to-1 in 1960 to 2.9-to-1 today. Mel Gibson to release Resurrection movies in 2027 Film producer and director Mel Gibson is wrapping up a 10-year project — a production of the sequel for The Passion of the Christ. The project is slated to be released as a two-part series on the Resurrection sometime in March and May next year — Good Friday and Ascension Day on the Christian calendar. The films were shot in Rome. Spiderman: Brand New Day misuses God's name 16 times And finally, the blockbuster film, Spiderman: Brand New Day, is #1 at the box office for its fourth week -- now at $2.2 billion worldwide. That's a record for the franchise. But Focus on the Family's PluggedIn.com and Ted Baehr's MovieGuide.org both warn of foul language, the single most concerning drawback for families. God's name and Jesus' name are misused a total of 16 times in the movie. Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, August 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Thomas and Nicholas Maas of Dancing Goat Distillery for a conversation about family, legacy and three generations of whiskey knowledge. "Family isn't just the blood that runs through your veins. It's the people who stand beside you, share the hard miles, celebrate the good ones, and never let you ride alone." Big Chief, The Whiskey Trip In the first half, Big Chief pours Stillman's Sonder 10 Year Straight Bourbon and the Stillman's Sonder 10 Year American Single Malt. And that first pour raises a big question: Could this bourbon be a Whiskey of the Year contender for The Whiskey Trip? In the second half, the proof climbs with Swiss Misters Release 013, an 11 year rye finished in chocolate bitters barrels, followed by the Wiscy City Solo Cask, a 5 year straight rye bottled at 133.4 proof. Along the way, Thomas and Nicholas share the Maas family story, the lessons passed down through three generations and how Nicholas is carrying that legacy forward at Dancing Goat. Plus, we're giving away a bottle of Swiss Misters to one lucky listener! Pour yourself something good and Take the Ride.

Send us Fan MailMoney is easy to count, but the kind of wealth that actually lasts is harder to measure. We're talking about relationship capital: the trust, presence, and love you build in your family that becomes your real legacy. When life reaches its most fragile moments, nobody asks for a balance sheet. They ask for their people. That truth reframes everything about success, generational wealth, and what it means to leave something meaningful behind. We share a simple way to evaluate your “relational health” like a KPI, then we get practical with five communication frameworks that make hard conversations clearer and safer. You'll hear how to set up a clarifying conversation when something feels messy, how to approach a coaching conversation without damaging trust, and how a collaborative conversation can turn family planning into a shared win instead of a stress spiral. Then we lean into the two most overlooked tools for a strong family culture: caring conversations that communicate “I'm here,” and celebration conversations that mark progress and reinforce what's good. If you want better family communication, stronger relationships, and a legacy that your kids and grandkids can feel, this is a blueprint you can use right away.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Bishop Fulton Sheen's 1974 diagnosis of a “crisis in Christendom” say this coming: family breakdown, media shaped by anti-Christian assumptions, and a society that slowly adjusts to decline like a frog in warming water. We start with Nick Shirley's reporting on alleged adult daycare fraud and the uncomfortable question it raises: when taxpayer money disappears into “programs,” who benefits, and who gets protected when the spotlight turns on? We talk through why certain leaders go silent, why whistleblowers get attacked, and how following the money can reveal the incentives that drive political corruption.From there, we zoom out into the moral and spiritual roots beneath the headlines. We share two simple tests we use to judge whether a public leader is oriented toward the common good: do they defend innocent human life, especially the unborn, and do they defend marriage and the family as the core structure that forms stable citizens? When those pillars collapse, everything else follows: dishonesty becomes normal, vulnerable people get manipulated, and ideologies step in to replace conscience.If you feel the urgency, join us on a practical path: The Claymore Battle PlanSubscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the one moment that challenged you most.Support the show
Your teen comes home, closes their bedroom door, and gives you one-word answers.You ask how their day was.“Fine.”You ask whether anything happened.“No.”You ask if they are upset with you.“I don't know. Can you please leave me alone?”You are asking because you care—but the more you try to get your teen talking, the further away they seem to move.Teen silence can trigger enormous fear in a parent. You may worry that something is wrong, that your teen no longer trusts you, or that your relationship is slipping away.This can feel especially intense when you are parenting alone or carrying most of the emotional responsibility for your family. There may not be another adult beside you to help hold the worry, so you understandably try harder to get information.But your teen may experience those repeated questions as pressure, monitoring, or an expectation to talk before they are ready.Their silence does not automatically mean they do not love you or need you. Sometimes it means they are overwhelmed, embarrassed, tired, afraid of a reaction, or still trying to understand their own feelings.In this episode, you will learn:Why teenagers often shut down with the people they love mostHow your own fear can unintentionally create more pressureWhy asking fewer questions can sometimes lead to more communicationHow to create low-pressure opportunities for connectionWhat to do when your teen shares one small piece of informationHow advice, fixing, and lectures can close the door againHow to repair the pattern if conversations have become tenseWhen teen withdrawal may require more direct attention and supportThe goal is not to find the perfect question that makes your teen tell you everything.The goal is to become the parent with whom your teen feels safe bringing the difficult things.If this episode helped you, follow The Single Parenting Reset Show on Apple Podcasts so the next practical reset is waiting for you.You can also download my free Tween and Teen Conflict Reset Kit, which gives you practical scripts and a plan for staying grounded during difficult moments with your tween or teen. Find the link in the show notes.If communication has broken down in your family and you would like individualized support, you can also learn more about working with me through parent and family coaching.

Today we're getting to know the brass family — the loud, bright, fun-loving cousins of the orchestra. (And yes, I'm a little biased here, since my daughter plays trumpet. There's just something about the sound of a room full of brass players warming up.) We talk about what actually makes an instrument "brass" (hint: it's not the metal), why the trombone is the odd one out with its slide instead of valves, and how each member of the family got its personality — from the bold, attention-grabbing trumpet to the tuba, the gentle giant holding everything up from underneath. You'll also hear a callback to Peter and the Wolf, where the French horn plays the wolf, and a little detour into our family's long love affair with Trombone Shorty (we've driven hours more than once just to hear him play). In this episode, we cover: The one thing every brass instrument has in common (try it yourself — buzz your lips!) How valves and slides work to change notes The trumpet's history as the instrument of fanfares and announcements The French horn's surprising range, from the sound of the wolf to grand, noble melodies The trombone's glissando and why it sounds unlike anything else in the orchestra Why the tuba is the roots of the tree the rest of the brass family grows from Free printable: Download the Brass Family Spotter and check off each instrument as you hear it in the episode.

Do you find yourself craving just one uninterrupted breath, struggling to reconcile the clinical language of “disorder” and “correction” with the vibrant, complex reality of your family? Are your own sensory needs clashing with those of the children in your care, leaving you feeling both isolated and unseen?Jennifer Brunton, is an autistic mother and grandmother, and primary caregiver to two brilliant, intense, neurodivergent toddlers.

What would you do if someone asked you whether saving one child from online grooming would be worth sharing your most painful experiences? Fareedah Shaheed faced that exact question, and her answer transformed not just her life, but the lives of thousands of families navigating digital safety. As a cybersecurity expert who survived online grooming as a child, Fareedah brings a perspective that's both deeply personal and professionally grounded in nearly a decade of threat intelligence work. Her journey from victim to leading voice in internet safety wasn't planned-it emerged through conversations with desperate parents who recognized something unique in her approach.In this milestone 200th episode, Fareedah reveals the four pillars of her signature SAFE method that's helping families stay ahead of evolving digital threats, including AI-powered grooming tactics that didn't exist two years ago. She shares the warning signs most parents miss, why disconnection from offline activities signals danger, and how protecting your child starts with healing your own inner child. You'll discover why creating safe spaces isn't just about monitoring devices-it's about building relationships where children feel comfortable sharing what's really happening in their digital world, even when AI chatbots are offering the quick, judgment-free responses they crave.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?
