Send us a textEpisode 1 of Inside the Family Office: Live Investor PanelReal family office practitioners and allocators share how they structure deals, protect families, and think about wealth: Dr. Cook opens the panel and sets the stage for a rapid-fire conversation with experienced investors. KC of Family Wealth Leadership explains why his multifamily office focuses on families between roughly $25M and $300M, how they build diversified portfolios with funds and alternatives, and why his primary investment is in the family itself. He breaks down how foundations and “boots on the ground” philanthropy keep families aligned, and shares a blunt warning about emotional decision-making and over-entitled heirs. Dr. Cook closes by pulling out how he operates as a Family Enterprise Officer, coordinating specialists around each family.

Going "no contact" is a trend sweeping the nation—the idea that adult kids must cut ties with their parents for the sake of healing and self-care. But how does that line up with Jesus' command to “be merciful” (Luke 6:36)?In this episode, relationship experts Bill and Pam Farrel share biblical wisdom and real-life insight on how to honestly evaluate your parents without canceling them, how to navigate painful family dynamics with both truth and love, and how to honor God's design for generations—built on bridges, not burned ones.If you've ever wondered whether distance is the only option, this three-part conversation points to a better way forward.Judgy SeriesGuest: Bill and Pam FarrelGet your Free Resource: 20 Page WorkbookRecommended Resources: Check out Shannon's Amazon Storefront HEREMusic: Cade PopkinBill and Pam's BioBill and Pam are the authors of over sixty books including, "Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti."  prolific conference and church communicators.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Giselle Goodwin, author of Can Women Really Have it All? to talk about our definitions of success and happiness, and how they impact the way we parent. In this changing landscape where what we inherit can mean more than how hard we work what expectations should we have, and what message should we be giving our kids about their future if we want them to be happy?

Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." Today, Michael welcomes back his friend, author and spiritual leader Alan Fadling, to dive into themes from Alan's book, "A Non-Anxious Life." Together, they explore what it means to live with peace in a world gripped by anxiety, unpacking Alan's personal journey from being "a master of anxiety" to learning to cultivate peace.Throughout the conversation, Alan Fadling shares how his upbringing, family dynamics, and spiritual formation shaped his experience of anxiety, illuminating the thin line between caring and worrying. The discussion touches on practical ways to practice the presence of God, the unique role that virtues like humility and gentleness play in displacing anxiety, and the centrality of embodiment—experiencing peace not just spiritually, but in our bodies and everyday lives.Listeners will find hope in the idea that anxiety doesn't need to be eradicated, but can become a catalyst for experiencing God's presence and peace more fully. As always, the episode closes with a heartfelt prayer, inviting us into a life marked not by frantic striving, but by the gentleness and trust that come from walking with the Prince of Peace.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Story Transcript:Ca: Els carrers del Barri Gòtic de Barcelona estaven plens d'un aire hivernal, amb les llums de Nadal encara brillant per sobre les capçades dels edificis antics.En: The streets of the Barri Gòtic in Barcelona were filled with a wintery air, with Christmas lights still shining above the rooftops of the old buildings.Ca: A dins del cafè acollidor, vella llum càlida il·luminava les cares somrients de les persones que gaudien de xocolates calents i torradetes.En: Inside the cozy café, warm, gentle light illuminated the smiling faces of people enjoying hot chocolates and toast.Ca: Pere, Laia i Judit estaven asseguts a la seva taula preferida, prop de la finestra.En: Pere, Laia, and Judit were seated at their favorite table, near the window.Ca: Des d'allà, podien veure la gent passar fora, carregats de regals i amb somriures a la cara.En: From there, they could see the people passing by outside, laden with gifts and smiles on their faces.Ca: Era el Dia de Reis, un moment de trobades i tradicions familiars.En: It was the Day of Kings, a time for gatherings and family traditions.Ca: Però avui, els germans tenien un tema seriós a tractar.En: But today, the siblings had a serious matter to discuss.Ca: Pere va mirar les seves germanes amb una expressió de determinació, però amb una ombra de preocupació en els ulls.En: Pere looked at his sisters with an expression of determination but with a shadow of concern in his eyes.Ca: Ell era el més gran, sempre amb la responsabilitat al damunt.En: He was the eldest, always bearing the responsibility.Ca: Laia, amb el seu sentit artístic i necessitats emocionals, volia trobar una solució que fos perfecta per a tothom.En: Laia, with her artistic sense and emotional needs, wanted to find a solution that was perfect for everyone.Ca: Judit, de natural ambiciosa, sovint estava lluny per feina i ara carregava el pes de la culpa per no poder ajudar més.En: Judit, naturally ambitious, was often away for work and now bore the weight of guilt for not being able to help more.Ca: "M'agradaria parlar sobre els nostres pares", va dir Pere amb calma.En: "I'd like to talk about our parents," Pere said calmly.Ca: Va mirar al voltant del cafè, inhalant l'aroma del cafè torrat que emplenava l'aire.En: He looked around the café, inhaling the aroma of roasted coffee that filled the air.Ca: "Cal que prenguem una decisió sobre el que farem.En: "We need to make a decision about what we will do."Ca: "Laia va fer una mena de gemec, "Si us plau, Pere, no hi ha cap necessitat de portar-los a una residència.En: Laia let out a kind of groan, "Please, Pere, there's no need to send them to a nursing home.Ca: Els podríem mantenir a casa.En: We could keep them at home."Ca: ""Però Laia, això requereix molt temps i esforç", va replicar Pere, amb un to ferm però comprensiu.En: "But Laia, that requires a lot of time and effort," Pere replied, with a firm but understanding tone.Ca: Judit, amb el cap cuité i les mans entrelligades sobre la taula, va murmurar: "Ho sento, però el meu treball em porta amunt i avall.En: Judit, with her head bowed and hands clasped on the table, murmured, "I'm sorry, but my job takes me back and forth.Ca: No puc prometre ser-hi sempre.En: I can't promise to always be there."Ca: "Pere va oferir una solució que havia estat pensant.En: Pere offered a solution he had been considering.Ca: "Podríem fer-ho rotatiu, que cadascú cuidi els pares en dies diferents.En: "We could rotate, with each of us taking care of our parents on different days."Ca: ""No sé si això funcionaria," va interrompre Laia, "Podríem ajuntar diners i contractar algú que els cuidi a casa.En: "I don't know if that would work," Laia interrupted, "We could pool money together and hire someone to take care of them at home."Ca: "La conversa es va anar escalfant.En: The conversation grew heated.Ca: Les xocolates sobre la taula es van oblidar a mesura que les veus pujaven.En: The hot chocolates on the table were forgotten as their voices rose.Ca: Finalment, Pere, amb un sospir, va revelar alguna cosa que havia guardat dins seu.En: Finally, Pere, with a sigh, revealed something he had been holding inside.Ca: "No puc seguir portant aquesta càrrega jo sol.En: "I can't keep carrying this burden by myself.Ca: Hi ha hagut dies que m'he sentit aclaparat.En: There have been days when I've felt overwhelmed."Ca: "Aquestes paraules van silenciar la taula.En: These words silenced the table.Ca: Les seves germanes van mirar-lo amb sorpresa i compassió.En: His sisters looked at him with surprise and compassion.Ca: Els seus cors es van omplir d'entesa mentre la gravetat de la situació es feia més clara.En: Their hearts were filled with understanding as the gravity of the situation

Let us know what you thought about the show!In this episode, Jason speaks with Myra Salzer, CFP® & Melissa Hoyer, CFP®, CPCC of The Wealth Conservancy to explore how individuals navigating inherited or sudden wealth can shift from overwhelm to clarity, agency, and purpose. Rather than treating money as a purely financial matter, Myra and Melissa illuminate the emotional, psychological, and relational realities of wealth — and how aligning values with financial decisions can transform wealth into a meaningful ally rather than a burden.They discuss the unique identity challenges faced by inheritors, the central role of fiduciary responsibility, and the importance of proactive communication, legacy planning, and intentional philanthropy.Key Highlights & InsightsDecoding Financial Jargon — What the Terms Really MeanCertified Financial Planner (CFP®): A CFP® serves as a strategic integrator overseeing a client's entire financial ecosystem — taxes, estate strategy, insurance, investments, and long-term planning — rather than focusing only on asset management.Fiduciary Standard: A fiduciary is legally obligated to put the client's interests first, which often contrasts with institutions whose primary duty is to shareholders.Redefining Wealth: Derived from historical roots meaning “well-being” and “health,” true wealth expands beyond finances to include emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and community well-being.The Human Reality of Inherited & Sudden WealthThe “tsunami effect” of sudden financial responsibility often occurs without emotional or practical preparation.Paradox of Self-Worth: Entrepreneurs may connect identity to productivity, while inheritors may experience declining self-worth as net worth increases.The “Luxury of Doing Nothing” Dilemma: Without survival-driven motivation, inheritors must intentionally create purpose, challenge, and structure.Wealth as an Amplifier: Money magnifies existing traits — generosity, anxiety, creativity, or avoidance.Legacy, Family Dynamics & Proactive PlanningFair vs. Equal: Families frequently confuse equality with fairness — and the distinction matters.The biggest estate-planning risk is surprise; open, multi-generational dialogue reduces conflict and shock.Purpose-Driven Philanthropy: Giving should reflect authentic values — not obligation or performance.Their approach integrates both technical financial strategy and coaching-informed human insight.Programs, Resources & MentionsThe Way Into Wealth Program — An eight-session, one-on-one coaching experience aligning inner values with financial reality.Visit: wayintowealth.comThe Wealth Conservancy — A retainer-based fiduciary advisory firm specializing in complex wealth strategy and stewardship.Visit: thewealthconservancy.com | twwcinc.orgThe Family Room Wellness AssociatesOnline Therapy and Coaching with Jason Wasser, LMFTCheck out our guests books!Want to learn more from our guests and also see what products I suggest?Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Listen to this conversation with Ginger Healy, MSW, LCSW, director of programs for the Attachment & Trauma Network and host of the podcast “Regulated and Relational.” Ginger speaks across the nation on trauma-informed schools, therapeutic parenting, and community engagement.In this episode, we discuss:What made you decide to write a book for educators?What were you observing about children's needs around emotional language, self-regulation, and connection?Knowing that at home we often deal with a different rhythm, different dynamics (for example, one caregiver rather than teacher + many students), what initial advice do you have for parents and caregivers to translate this book's classroom tools into a home context? Why is it essential that children learn social/emotional language — not just “feelings words” but the capacity to talk about self, other, relationships, safety?How does having more social/emotional language help a child feel “seen, safe, valued” in a family environment?What are the risks when children don't have that language or opportunity to practice it?We often hear culture around us say, “Kids are resilient.” Why is that a misconception, especially in our community of adopted, foster, or relative children?Why does a child who has experienced trauma need specific, intentional scaffolding to develop their social/emotional language and build their capacity for emotional strength?What are the themes of the workbook that parents or caregivers can bring into their everyday conversations at home?Understanding my story within my family structureReframing my narrative: navigating family challenges and conflictBuilding confidence, hope, and a positive futureCan you suggest a few strategies to get families started with the conversations?What if we are struggling with or lacking these skills ourselves? How do we learn them so we can teach and model them?What practical strategies can we use to integrate these skills into our daily rhythms?How do we know our kids are ready for adjustments in how we practice these skills, or to “level up”?How will they know if these strategies are effective? Do you have practical tips for families that want to strengthen their family dynamics but already feel overwhelmed by the long list of To-Dos? Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Freud is a designer and creative whose clothes have adorned the likes of Zadie Smith, Kate Moss, Little Simz and…well…me. She's also a cult podcaster with her hit show, Fashion Neurosis, where guests are invited to examine what clothes mean to them.

Do you feel like the same family conflicts keep resurfacing—no matter how many times you “deal with them”?What if the problem isn't the conflict… but the drama patterns you're unknowingly participating in?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down the drama triangle—a destructive cycle made up of three familiar roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor. These roles keep families stuck in emotional reactivity, resentment, and zero real resolution.Here's the truth most parents never hear: you can face conflict head-on without making it dramatic.Stepping out of drama doesn't mean avoiding problems, disengaging, or “letting things slide.” It means learning how to handle disagreement with clarity, courage, and love—so issues actually get resolved instead of endlessly repeated.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why drama is not the same thing as conflict—and how to tell the differenceThe three roles that silently keep family arguments loopingHow one conscious person can interrupt the entire patternThe exact three steps to exit the drama triangle—starting immediatelyHow to shift from victim → creator, rescuer → coach, and persecutor → challengerWhy inner work and emotional awareness are essential to peaceful parentingHow these tools don't just change today's arguments—but transform family legaciesIf you're exhausted from emotional blowups, silent treatments, or constantly playing referee, this episode offers a practical, empowering path forward—one that leads to real resolution, stronger relationships, and a calmer family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Drama is optional—even when conflict is unavoidable.✅ The drama triangle keeps families stuck without resolution.✅ You only need one person to change the pattern.✅ Stopping your automatic reaction is the first powerful step.✅ Awareness creates choice—and choice creates change.✅ Creator, coach, and challenger roles lead to lasting solutions.✅ Inner work is the gateway to calmer, more effective parenting.Memorable Quotes

Nesto, raised in Harlem by a single mother, joins Ian to share the raw and unfiltered story of how he went from early street life to surviving some of the most dangerous prisons in New York. Pulled into the streets at a young age, Nesto became involved in a string of robberies that led to his arrest and time on Rikers Island, where he faced violence, chaos, and the reality of New York's jail system before taking a 3.5-year plea deal. After sentencing, he was sent to one of New York's most feared maximum-security prisons—known by inmates as “The Jungle”—where he witnessed extreme violence, gang politics, and the daily pressure of staying alive. While inside, Nesto caught a new charge for slashing another inmate, which added 1.5 more years to his sentence and landed him in solitary confinement, where the mental toll became just as intense as the physical dangers. #PrisonStories #NewYorkPrison #InmateSurvival #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonExperience #SurvivingPrison #realprisonstories Thanks to AURA FRAMES & BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Roll On returns! Just in time for the holiday gauntlet. Adam Skolnick and I unpack three questions the season demands: how to navigate family gatherings when the same dynamics play out like clockwork, what rock bottom actually means (hint: it's a launchpad for transformation, not a life sentence), and why I've traded rigid goals for something more like trajectory. We get into the superpower of extreme neutrality, why everyone is right from their perspective, and morning pages as the unlock you didn't know you needed. We also celebrate Adam's debut novel “American Tiger”—finally out in the world! Last but not least, we crown our favorite films of 2025.
