In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia record together in person for the first time in a while, bringing a different energy to their conversation. They tackle two major topics that come up during the holiday season: sleep and family dynamics.Alyssa just returned from a week in Melbourne, Australia, where she trained with physical therapists on the connection between sleep, pain, and healing. She learned about custom bed fitting and plans to bring this knowledge into her clinic. The conversation reveals a fascinating insight: when you're chronically sleep-deprived, your brain actually stops recognizing how tired you are.Nadia opens up about her inconsistent sleep schedule due to constantly shifting between school, home, and travel. Surprisingly, she handles jet lag well everywhere except when returning home to California, where even a 3-hour time difference hits hard. They explore whether this is because home triggers a parasympathetic response, allowing her body to finally relax.The discussion takes a more serious turn when Alyssa expresses concern about Eric's graveyard shift schedule (9:30 PM to 9:00 AM) and the connection between chronic sleep deprivation and dementia. While Eric can fall asleep anywhere when he's not working, Alyssa learned this isn't actually a good sign—it indicates the body needs more regular sleep.The second half dives into family dynamics during the holidays. Nadia shares that protecting her peace means going home, not avoiding it. For her, family is always the most important thing, and being away makes the eventual return feel even more necessary. She describes home as "time for herself" because she has fewer responsibilities there—no dishes, no cooking, just being present.Alyssa brings up how her room has been transformed into a guest room, with all of Nadia's decorations and posters removed. Nadia admits it doesn't really feel like her room anymore, but she's accepted it. She reflects on how she used to revert to her 16-year-old self when coming home, but now without those physical reminders, it's easier to just be present.They touch on the pressure many people feel around family during the holidays—the loaded questions about relationships, jobs, and life plans. Nadia's approach is to "suck it up" and show up because maintaining family connection is worth more than avoiding temporary discomfort.The episode wraps with a question to listeners: are they ready for expert guests to join the podcast, or do they prefer the existing format?TakeawaysChronic sleep deprivation makes it harder to recognize you're sleep-deprivedWorking graveyard shifts can have long-term health consequences, including increased dementia riskBeing able to fall asleep anywhere isn't necessarily a good sign—it can indicate sleep debtFor some people, protecting your peace means going home, not avoiding familyHome can feel like "time for yourself" when you have fewer daily responsibilities thereComing home during holidays can trigger old patterns and versions of yourselfPhysical spaces and childhood rooms hold emotional significance, even when transformedFamily loyalty and maintaining connections can outweigh temporary discomfortHoliday gatherings often come with loaded questions about life milestonesRecording in person versus remotely changes the dynamic of conversationChapters0:10–2:08 – Recording Together in Person for the First Time2:09–5:27 – Alyssa's Trip to Melbourne and What She Learned About Sleep5:28–7:24 – Nadia's Sleep Patterns and Jet Lag at Home7:25–8:54 – Concerns About Eric's Graveyard Shift and Dementia Risk8:55–10:38 – Family Dynamics During the Holidays10:39–12:23 – The Question: Family Loyalty vs. Protecting Your Peace12:24–14:25 – Why Nadia Chooses to Go Home14:26–16:06 – Home as Time for Yourself16:07–17:52 – Reverting to Your High School Self17:53–18:57 – Nadia's Room Becoming a Guest Room18:58–19:54 – Looking Ahead: Will Nadia Move Back?

Before they were podcasters, the Perrys did spoken-word poetry, and this week's guest had a profound impact on them as one of the first “viral” Christian poets online. Blair (Wingo) Linne joins Jackie and Preston to talk about her new book, Made to Tremble: How Anxiety Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to My Faith. Blair discusses how past traumas – including the sudden death of her infant brother and a car accident that totaled their family vehicle – shaped her present anxiety and how that anxiety drove her even closer to the Lord. She explains how all of Scripture points to peace as a person – God is our peace, which means that peace is not a result of our circumstances. Blair's encouragement is to find the Lord and trust that He's going to be with you, even if He has you trembling for the rest of your life.Follow Blair: https://www.instagram.com/blairlinne_/Check out her new book, Made to Tremble: How Anxiety Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to My Faith: https://www.amazon.com/Made-Tremble-Anxiety-Became-Happened/dp/1430096365/Scripture references:Philippians 4:4-72 Corinthians 4:7-10Hebrews 12:14-24, 28-29 This Episode is Sponsored By:https://weekendtoremember.com — Get 50% off during FamilyLife's Black Friday sale!https://brooklynbedding.com — Get 30% off sitewide when you use code PERRY at checkout.

A scientist and entrepreneur built an AI to intercept every interruption in family life—the basketball emails, the field trip forms, the play rehearsal schedule buried at the bottom of a message. Then, an investor suggested the product could do more: text the sitter automatically, send birthday wishes to friends, suck up every teacher email so parents never see another one, and Avni Patel Thompson realized something didn't feel right. In this Go To episode featuring Avni's TED talk from Kelly's curated session on AI and family life, a mother who designs AI products for families discovers that not all friction is bad—some of it creates connection.

Ben McChesney spent 25 years behind bars, serving time in more than a dozen state and federal prisons across the country — from low-level facilities to some of the toughest penitentiaries in America. His story is one of chaos, survival, and defiance. After being accused of stealing several pallets of firearms in what became one of the largest gun heists in his state, Ben went on the run to Mexico for two years before being captured. Acting as his own attorney, he fought multiple cases, beat a federal kidnapping charge, and survived years of violence and transfers across 14 federal prisons. Inside, he ran underground poker tables, fought predators, and lived by his own code. Raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest, Ben's story exposes the reality of long-term prison life, corruption, and what it truly takes to survive 25 years in the system. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #RedemptionStory #RealStories #PrisonLife #SurvivingPrison Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

In this conversation, Dr. Alexandra totally nerds-out with Dr. Allison Daminger about the division of work in couples, particularly in an often overlooked domain: the mental space. In her research, Daminger found that even when couples approximate parity around “time use”, there are still huge gaps in what she calls “mind use” or cognitive labor… even for modern couples who believe in what she calls the Myth of Mutuality, an equal partnership where both partners evenly share the load.You will hear about the gendered disparities in cognitive labor in the home in a gentle, blame-free way. When it comes to gender roles in family life, we tend to overestimate the effects of individual differences and underestimate the effects of bigger social forces. So if the load is feeling unequal in your partnership, Daminger wants you to move away from guilt and blame and toward strategies that move you closer to your ideals. In this episode, you'll hear about:What constitutes cognitive labor and why women tend to carry the lion's share. Experiences from couples in Allison's research who successfully created shared systems for cognitive labor, and the approaches and conditions that made that possible. The narratives couples use to justify how they divide labor, especially when trying to avoid recreating gendered patterns (while often recreating them anyway). How to spot cognitive labor disparities in your own home and use that awareness to divide responsibilities more fairly based on skill rather than “personality” (i.e., gendered expectations). The pressure that broader societal structures place on individual households, and how reframing the issue can support calls for systemic change. How to start small and make meaningful shifts toward parity in cognitive labor.Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Dr. Allison Daminger's book, What's On Her Mind - The Mental Workload of Family Life: https://bookshop.org/p/books/what-s-on-her-mind-the-mental-workload-of-family-life-allison-daminger/585e2aa7eac0a0eaLearn more about Dr. Allison Daminger and sign up for her newsletter The Daminger Dispatch: https://www.allisondaminger.com/Continue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

The Perrys are joined by Yana Conner, a writer and theologian passionate about understanding the character of God. Her new book, Living Beyond Offense, digs into the idea that forgiveness is at the heart of our faith. Why's that? Because every time we forgive, we put the gospel on display.Yana shares honestly about writing this book while wrestling with her own relationships. She talks about how “turning the other cheek” is meant to restore and not enable, why God calls us to be “shalom makers,” and how forgiveness is less about forgiving yourself but about living forgiven. Scripture references:Ephesians 1:9-10Genesis 3Romans 8:31-34 John 13:1-10, 21-27John 17Psalm 139Matthew 18This Episode is Sponsored By:https://policygenius.com/perry — Compare free life insurance quotes from top companies and see how much you could save.https://weekendtoremember.com — Get 50% off during FamilyLife's Black Friday sale!https://brickhousesale.com — Get 30% off during the Black Friday sale!

Rana Dershowitz went straight to Harvard Law School after graduating in 1992, partly due to the economy and her love for learning. She describes her experience at Harvard Law School, including her role as a law school "old timer" in Cambridge. After law school, Rana moved back to New York and started working on Wall Street, initially hating the big law environment but appreciating the people she worked with. Entertainment Law at Madison Square Garden and onto Sports Law Rana discusses her career counselor's advice to explore sports law, which she had overlooked despite her involvement in sports and technical theater at Harvard. She took a six-month leave of absence and was offered a job in sports law the day she started her leave. Rana worked in entertainment law at Madison Square Garden (MSG) from 2001 to 2007, handling legal work for the Knicks, Rangers, and the WNBA's New York Liberty. She met her future husband during this time and moved to Colorado  in 2007, where she continued her legal career. Joining the US Olympic Committee and Life in Colorado  Rana joined the US Olympic Committee (USOC) as Deputy General Counsel in 2007, becoming interim General Counsel and then General Counsel and Head of Government Affairs. She describes the challenges of commuting between Colorado Springs and Denver, with her husband working in Bould, while managing her job and family life. Rana and her husband moved to Basalt, Colorado, in 2011, where she continued her legal work,  joined the Aspen skiing company, and became involved in the Aspen community. She transitioned to a part-time role at Aspen Skiing Company while working as Phil Weiser's policy director for his gubernatorial campaign. Challenges and Opportunities at the US Olympic Committee  Rana explains the unique structure of the USOC, which is federally chartered and subject to congressional oversight, unlike most Olympic committees. She discusses the complexities of funding and intellectual property rights, including the USOC's unique trademark rights. Rana highlights her work on safe sport initiatives and the challenges of managing independent national governing bodies for various sports. She reflects on the legal and operational complexities of hosting Olympic Games in the United States and the international dynamics involved. Working at Madison Square Garden and New York Liberty Rana shares a story that reflects her personal connection to Madison Square Garden. She describes the structure of MSG, which owns the building, the Knicks, the Rangers, and the Liberty, and her role in handling sponsorships and league rules. Rana recounts her involvement in the New York Liberty's WNBA finals run in 1999, feeling proud to be part of the team's success. She also discusses her role in managing entertainment acts during team sports events at MSG and shares a few of her proudest moments. Policy Work and Campaign for Phil Weiser  Rana explains her role as Phil Weiser's policy director, focusing on active listening and building a grassroots campaign across Colorado. She outlines key issues the campaign is addressing, including affordability, climate change, water resources, and public lands. Rana emphasizes the importance of bridging urban-rural divides and finding innovative solutions that benefit the entire state. She highlights the campaign's efforts to address youth mental health and promote outdoor activities for children. Rana's Broader Role at Aspen Skiing Company  Rana discusses her expanded role at Aspen Skiing Company, overseeing sustainability, community engagement, planning and development, and PR. She describes her transition to leading mountain operations and her current role that spans looking into employee housing and childcare. Rana reflects on the importance of understanding systems and structures beyond legal work, drawing on her experiences at Aspen.  Harvard Reflections Rana shares her initial reluctance to follow in her family's legal footsteps but eventually being drawn to law by her interest in the "Justice" class. She credits the course for shifting her perspective and leading her to law school. She also mentions auditing the "Thinking about Thinking" class taught by Stephen Jay Gould, Robert Nozick, and Alan Dershowitz, and reflects on the importance of considering different perspectives in policy work and legal decision-making.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by RNTer Raghu Kumar, an entrepreneur and CEO who at the age of 40, dropped 40lbs to get into the best shape of his life this year. Raghu has since inspired members of his family and his fiance to also join him on the journey. What's cool is he's inspiring his children, a better decision maker at work, and his resting heart rate has gone from 65 down to 47. He's fitter now at 40 than he was in his 20s. A really cool thing he shares is how his company has had a direct correlation in revenue growth since his RNT journey has begun. So in the truest sense…using a physical transformation as a vehicle to take everything in his life to the next level!   Chapters: 00:00 Transformative Journey: Raghu's Weight Loss Success 02:02 The Wake-Up Call: Realizations and Motivations 07:33 Understanding Weight Gain: The Journey to 40 Pounds 13:16 Joining RNT: The Start of a New Chapter 19:10 Data-Driven Health: Tracking Progress and Metrics 23:20 Entrepreneurial Energy: Health's Impact on Decision Making 27:08 Accountability in Fitness and Nutrition 28:83 Managing Vices and Stress as Entrepreneurs 31:41 The Impact of Health on Family Life 39:59 The Dad Bod Dilemma 40:57 Future Goals and Injury Management 48:08 Starting Your Fitness Journey   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty welcomes back his brother, Mike Brady for a special family-themed discussion timed around Ty's birthday. Ty and Mike reminisce about their childhood growing up in a large family with eight sisters and two brothers, sharing stories about their upbringing and the unique bond they formed despite the age gap. From memories of Mike eagerly waiting 13 years for a brother to Ty's adventures with his first big wheel, the conversation is filled with laughter and nostalgia.   Mike and Ty dive into their family dynamics, recalling how self-reliance and hard work were instilled in them by their parents. They talk about the challenges and joys of growing up with so many siblings, recounting vivid memories of building forts out of cardboard boxes, backfilling a house by hand, and even learning life lessons from helping out at their mom's reception center. The stories highlight the creativity and resourcefulness they learned from their parents, especially from their mother's entrepreneurial spirit.   Ty and Mike reflect on how these experiences shaped their work ethic, sense of responsibility, and ultimately their success in life. Mike and Ty discuss how their upbringing taught them to solve problems, help each other, and never shy away from hard work, all while maintaining a strong sense of family.

Can anxiety about food safety quietly shape the way an entire family eats, lives, and loves? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, talks with Tamara Hubbard, LCPC, founder of The Food Allergy Counselor and The Academy of Food Allergy Counseling. Together, they explore how food allergy anxiety can affect both children and parents, sometimes leading to ARFID-like eating patterns and significant emotional distress. Tamara shares her journey from being a parent of a child with a peanut allergy to becoming a national leader in the field of food allergy mental health. She discusses how chronic fear and misinformation can cause families to become trapped in cycles of hypervigilance and restriction. She and Dr. Marianne also examine how therapy can help families move toward flexibility, autonomy, and connection at the table. Listeners will hear how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based approaches support parents in balancing safety with freedom, and how addressing anxiety can improve both emotional well-being and quality of life. Key Topics Covered The difference between food allergies and food intolerances and why accurate understanding matters How food allergy anxiety can spread through families and mimic ARFID symptoms The role of parental fear in shaping a child's own food relationship and daily life The risks of restriction-based medical advice, including some functional medicine practices How ACT and mindfulness tools can help parents tolerate fear and stay connected to their values Ways to calm the fight-or-flight response and reduce hypervigilance around food and safety Why collaboration between therapists and allergists creates stronger, safer support for families Who This Episode Is For This episode is for parents and caregivers who want to understand how food allergies, anxiety, and ARFID intersect in family life. It is also for therapists, dietitians, and healthcare providers who want to learn how to support families with evidence-based, trauma-informed, and values-driven care.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has hit headlines again this week both for his career decisions and his increasingly public devotion to family life. The most significant news is his open admission that touring is simply not a priority for him right now. During a recent Twitch livestream where he spent the evening carving pumpkins with friends, Justin told fans that years of touring have left him burned out and even just the idea of getting back on the road feels super daunting. According to People magazine, he said he loves performing, but committing to a year and a half or more of global touring is out of the question for now. Instead, Bieber is focusing all his energy on select, high-impact events like Coachella, where he will perform both his latest albums, including “Swag” and “Swag 2,” for the first time, alongside his classic hits. He is set to headline on both Saturdays of the festival, April 11 and 18, which organizers and fans alike consider a major pop moment and potential career pivot.In terms of music news, Justin is back with fresh visuals as well. A new video for his song “Speed Demon” just dropped, filmed at the Coachella festival grounds, generating buzz across platforms and fueling anticipation for his upcoming live sets. On the lighter side of pop culture, he's gone viral for admitting to delaying the start of his concerts to finish intense ping pong games with his crew, as revealed by Z97.1, which fans embraced as peak Bieber quirkiness.On the home front, Justin's relationship with Hailey remains a magnet for attention. The couple recently celebrated Halloween with their son Jack, dressing up as the Incredibles, which even earned a shoutout from Disney. Social media went into overdrive when Hailey posted a bikini photo carousel from Kendall Jenner's 30th birthday getaway; Justin's explicit public comment was widely shared, underlining ongoing chemistry between the couple. Elle reported that insiders see them as soulmates, with parenthood deepening their bond. More PDA-filled photos from Justin have circulated, showing a couple enjoying family milestones and taking little notice of outside commentary.There's also a brush with the business world. Hailey Bieber's Rhode beauty brand scored a record-breaking launch at Sephora this fall, though the parent company Elf Beauty's stock dropped after weaker-than-expected earnings, as reported by MarketWatch. Overall, the lasting impact comes from Justin's step back from touring and his visible prioritization of family and selective, meaningful musical moments—signaling a new era less defined by constant movement and more by intentional choices. No substantial unverified rumors have surfaced, and all major stories are confirmed by established media outlets.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What if the story of your life isn't “nothing much happened”… but a mission God is speaking through you? Joe and Father Boniface unpack how tiny, daily choices—patience with family, taking out the trash with care—shape a saint's storyline, and why zooming in on micro-moments actually clarifies the bigger horizon. We explore St. Thérèse's wisdom about doing the next small thing with great love alongside Pope Francis' call to see your life as a unique message entrusted to you. Through it all, we stay grounded in the three lenses: honesty with self, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasTake a “micro audit” of the last season: note small relational wins (held your patience, chose forgiveness) and misses (withdrew attention, snapped online) to see real growth.Your life is a mission and a message: lift your eyes to the horizon periodically to name milestones, then return to the next faithful step.St. Thérèse's path: do the next ordinary task with great love—God meets us in the present moment.Hold macro and micro together: alternate big-picture review with daily presence so grace can re-pattern habits over time.Practical examen: Where did my attention go today (phone, work, family, prayer)? What one small act of love can I choose tomorrow?Links & ReferencesPope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate (On the Call to Holiness in Today's World) — official Vatican text: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.htmlCTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

We dive into the true meaning of resilience and the hidden emotional and physical costs of being expected to “bounce back” especially in military life.Jennifer shares her research and lived experience uncovering how military families navigate chronic stress, lack of support, and societal expectations to appear strong at all times. Together, we explore how resilience can both empower and harm, and why acknowledging vulnerability is a crucial part of healing and change.In this episode, we discuss:Jennifer's journey from journalist to author and advocate for military familiesThe story that inspired her to write her bookWhy “resilience” in the military has shifted from clinical support to cultural expectationHow “faking it till you make it” can mask real mental health needsThe difference between acute stress and chronic stress in both military and civilian lifeHow unprocessed emotions affect physical health and burnoutThe parallels between military resilience and modern societal pressuresWhy true healing begins with vulnerability and community supportThe importance of civilian communities showing up for military familiesUpcoming book launch events and how to connect with JenniferJennifer's message is powerful and universal, resilience should never mean suffering in silence.

Can a machine love a child the way a parent does? Kelly introduces a special GOTO series exploring one of the most unsettling questions of our time: as AI becomes more capable, what is a parent actually for? After curating a session at TED 2025 on parenting and technology, Kelly shares an episode she hosted of TED Talks Daily featuring her own TED Talk about the unglamorous, unmeasurable bravery required in family life—the kind that happens when someone says "tell me more" instead of trying to fix everything. Then she takes us behind the scenes of her work with six speakers who helped her wrestle with whether AI could ever replace the messy, imperfect, irreplaceable work of raising a human. From technologists who insist AI could breastfeed better than humans to psychologists warning about developing intolerance for real people's limitations, this conversation looks at what we might lose if we optimize away all the friction and failure that actually shapes us.

Topic: Insomnia and parental neglect"I have two problems to talk about, although maybe they're one."I've suffered from insomnia for a long time now and medical interventions are not helping. I heard Stefan talk about his own a few times, and thought he might be able to help."Also, although I'm in my mid-40s, I only recently came to understand how badly, in some respects, my parents neglected me as a child, and I'm trying to figure out how to come to terms with that, and especially how to do better with my own children, whom I fear, lacking a better example, I'm doing the same with."To be more specific, growing up, my parents didn't really give me any advice or instruction about things like making friends, girls, building a career, almost anything. And I now I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ADVICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE for my own sons."Thanks for your work, Mr. Molyneux, whether or not I get to talk with you again."Number of years as a listener: 10 yearsListened to call-ins?
