Attachment can always be rebuilt.We dive deep into why early attachment matters, how patterns formed in infancy can carry into the teen years and adulthood, and—most importantly—what you can do now to repair broken bonds, rebuild trust, and create lasting connection with your child.This episode is both hope-filled and practical, showing parents exactly how small, intentional changes—like presence, co-regulation, physical affection, and emotional attunement—can completely transform family dynamics.If you've ever felt discouraged, blamed yourself, or wondered if it's “too late,” this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and confidence moving forward.Family work is the most important work—and success is in the details.Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQxLUerQ1z0

The Letter of Jude E1 — Jude is one of the shortest writings in the New Testament. It comes from one of Jesus' own brothers (or cousins, or stepbrothers, depending on the tradition). Written in the early years of the Jesus movement, the letter addresses a Jewish community in Jerusalem or Galilee, made up of disciples who likely grew up with Jesus and knew his family. Jude (or Judah in Hebrew or Judas in Greek) is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Bible. His writing shows these roots through consistent biblical language and tons of hyperlinks. But who was Jude, and what do we know about his family and ancestors? In this episode, Jon and Tim introduce the background of this short letter and the larger world surrounding its author.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSJude's Identity and the Brothers of Jesus (0:00–8:29)Jesus' Brothers in the Gospels and Early Church (8:29–24:01)James, Jude, and Their Descendants (24:01–44:15)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESPanarion by Epiphanius of SalamisThe Perpetual Virginity of Blessed Mary: Against Helvidius by JeromeProto-Gospel of JamesCommentary on Matthew by OrigenAntiquities of the Jews by Flavius JosephusThe Church History by Eusebius of CaesareaCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“afternoon reads.” by Lofi Sunday, PAINT WITH SOUND.“date night” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy GodwinBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

How Do We Shape Future Generations Well? Nancy French returns to The Good Faith Podcast with host Curtis Chang for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about how grandparenting reshapes your view of hope, kids and screens, grief, and what's worth doing with the time you have—even is that just means "robbing a bank with a Barbie." This conversation isn't just for grandparents: it's for anyone mentoring, parenting, teaching, or influencing the next generation, with practical wisdom on choosing connection, naming loss honestly, and creating space for kids to grow "analog" and resilient. Nancy also explains why legacy and being remembered aren't the point—what matters is faithfully loving the people in front of you and passing on stability, courage, and hope that outlasts you. 02:05 - Why Did Nancy Choose a Year as Primary Caregiver To Her Grandpkids? 07:44 - No screens and the value of analog, imaginative play. 13:15 - Preserving Children's Natural Hope 14:26 - Navigating Difficult Topics with Children 17:14 - The Value of Letting Children Experience Loss 23:09 - Creativity and Storytelling with Grandchildren 25:51 - Introducing Real-World Conflicts in Play 29:19 - Grandparents as Links to Family Legacy 34:53 - George Eliot: The Value of Unremembered Acts 36:18 - Living with Cancer and Embracing the Present 42:30 - Grandparenting from a Distance 45:27 - Encouragement to Focus on fun, connection, and Presence Rather Than Legacy Episode Companion: A Guide for Grandparents & All Those Influencing The Next Generation Mentioned In This Episode: Demographic research: Grandchildren's spatial proximity to grandparents and intergenerational support in the United States Jennifer F.

This week we're revisiting our podcast episode from November 23, 2023! Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Shelley Jones-Holt, Ed.D., to the Restorative Works! Podcast, World Conference series. This series of conversations were held during the 2023 IIRP World Conference, Building Thriving Communities: A Radical Approach Through Restorative Practices, held in Detroit, MI, October 2-4, 2023. Dr. Shelley shares with us how to have courageous conversations around race and other complex topics by first creating a safe space for those conversations to occur. She emphasizes the importance of preparation by establishing norms and agreements before opening a dialogue and defining terms so that participants can share a common language. Dr. Shelley addresses the natural feeling of shame that can arise when we are faced with things we lack, may they be knowledge, experience, or depth of understanding. She also speaks about how to navigate the emotions that follow a shame response, emphasizing that they should never be barriers to creating and coming to a place of understanding. Dr. Shelley currently serves as a Courageous Leadership Consultant providing training, facilitation, coaching, and support to equity driven teams and organizational, legislative, educational, and family leaders across the nation. She is the founder of Leadership Legacy Consulting, LLC, and the visionary behind the non-profit Family Legacy 5, which focuses on providing structural, adaptive and technical support to educational, corporate, and family leaders. Her emphasis on a restorative approach is foundational to engaging in uncomfortable conversations about controversial topics, such as race and identity oppression. The expansion to empower families through family leadership training for all was birthed through the realization that the mental models that drive systemic change originate not at school or work, but at home. Tune in to learn more about Dr. Shelley's approach to addressing hard conversations with care and humility, and check out Family Legacy 5 and Leadership Legacy Consulting.

Help us take Unpacked podcasts further by supporting our crowdfunding campaign: https://unpacked.bio/podgift2025 In the final episode of the Family miniseries, Rabbi Josh Feigelson reflects on family, ancestry, and legacy through the Jewish image of a tree planted by a river, drawing on his own family's genealogy, stories of loss and recovery after the Shoah, and the Hebrew ideas of nachal (stream) and nachalah (inheritance) to explore how knowing where we come from helps us understand where we are—and where we're headed. Weaving together themes from across the series, including chosen family, intergenerational connection, forgiveness, and responsibility to future generations, Josh closes with a guided mindfulness practice that invites listeners to see themselves as rooted in an ongoing stream of family and values, intentionally passing meaning, love, and legacy downstream. --------------- This podcast was brought to you by Unpacked, an OpenDor Media Brand.

In the wake of the devastating deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, family friends paint a heartbreaking portrait of two parents defined by unconditional love. Sources tell me the couple would have forgiven their son Nick “one hundred percent, without question,” even in the face of the unthinkable. At the same time, insiders say Nick long felt crushed by the weight of the Reiner name, resentful of living in the shadow of both his legendary father and grandfather, Carl Reiner. Close friend Maria Shriver echoed that complexity in an emotional tribute, remembering Rob and Michele as parents who “never stopped trying to be great,” no matter how difficult the journey became Don't forget to vote in today's poll on Twitter at @naughtynicerob or in our Facebook group.

What if the whole idea that your teen “must move out at 18” is one of the biggest parenting myths of our generation?In this episode, Greg and Rachel challenge the cultural belief that independence = separation. They explain why forcing teens into adult life at 18 isn't just unnecessary—it's often harmful, developmentally inappropriate, and rooted in a modern social experiment that has produced more loneliness, more mental illness, weaker families, and generations of underprepared young adults.Greg and Rachel reveal the truth: If your child will only become capable, confident, mature, and contributing after you kick them out… that's a parenting problem—not a launching strategy.Instead, they show how the teen years (16–25) are the prime window for deep mentoring, skill-building, emotional development, and world-class education. And that staying home longer—in a healthy, high-skill, high-expectation family—creates stronger adults, stronger marriages, and stronger generational wealth.You'll hear:Why the “18 equals adulthood” idea is culturally manufactured—not biologicalHow incomplete brain development (until 25!) radically changes how we should guide young adultsWhy independence begins at age 2, not 18… and how to train kids long before the teen yearsWhy most failure-to-launch cases come from lack of parenting skills, not lack of kid motivationIf you've ever wondered why today's teens struggle—or how to help your kids become confident, competent adults without pushing them out prematurely—this conversation will completely reframe your parenting vision.

Perry Stancato is the founder and CEO of Signature Sauces and a third-generation operator of the beloved Cleveland institution, Stancato's Italian Restaurant.This conversation with Perry explores the entrepreneurial journey of someone who grew up in the family restaurant — from standing on a milk crate as a kid making waffles for Sunday brunch to running Stancato's today while simultaneously building Signature Sauces into a premier national food manufacturing partner.Signature Sauces began in 2005 with a simple idea: to bottle his family's legendary red sauce after customers kept asking for it. What started as a way to serve Stancato's loyal patrons quickly evolved into something much larger. Perry discovered that while retail was cutthroat and unforgiving, his passion and true product-market fit lay in foodservice — helping other restaurants scale their “secret sauces.” Today, Signature Sauces has grown into a company that helps make the products that make others famous, serving clients from local Ohio favorites to national brands like Bob Evans, Momofuku, Benihana, Barrio, and many more.Alongside that manufacturing growth, Perry continues to steward Stancato's — the restaurant that has been a Cleveland staple for decades. He reflects on the delicate balance of honoring a community legacy while making small, thoughtful changes to stay relevant across generations.In our conversation, Perry shares the challenges of taking nearly ten years to get Signature Sauces off the ground, the resilience it took to keep going, the lessons learned from retail versus foodservice, and what he's most proud of: seeing team members who started as dishwashers grow into leaders, and knowing his work helps thousands of diners enjoy meals every day. We also dive into his Ohio pride, from the region's food scene to partnerships like the Ohio State Buckeye Tailgate sauces, and his perspective on what it takes to build a legacy business in Cleveland.00:00:00 - The Legacy of Stancatos: A Family Business Journey00:09:03 - From Family Recipes to Signature Sauces00:12:49 - Navigating the Food Industry: Retail vs. Food Service00:17:15 - Scaling Up: The Art and Science of Sauce Production00:20:39 - The Future of Signature Sauces: Expanding Partnerships00:21:55 - The Entrepreneurial Journey Begins00:23:33 - Vision and Growth of Signature Sauces00:26:10 - Lessons from the Restaurant Industry00:29:10 - Balancing Time and Responsibilities00:31:40 - Building a Legacy in Ohio00:34:30 - Innovation and Technology in Food Production00:37:08 - Trends in the Culinary World00:39:44 - Understanding Risk and Success00:42:22 - Navigating Customer Relationships00:45:20 - Insights for Aspiring Food Entrepreneurs00:45:35 - Reflections on the Journey-----LINKS:https://www.signaturesauces.com/https://www.stancatos.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/perry-stancato-799b16b/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

My guest is DJ Shipley, a former Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ's life is one marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear, practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male, female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves.
