Ever Wondered What Your Stepchildren Think About You? Kids can be tricky for stepparents to navigate. Their behavior isn't rational, they don't know how to express their emotions, and sometimes they can take out their frustration on the person who can be the easiest target: stepmom. But there's more to the story, and that's what we're talking about in this episode. We've got one of the top stepfamily researchers with us, and he's recently released a new look at the stepfamily dynamic - from the kids' perspectives.  He's got some really interesting, insightful, and surprising, findings that stepmoms should definitely pay attention to.   About Dr. Todd Jensen: Todd Jensen, PhD, MSW is an Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Science and Director of the Thriving Through Family Transitions Research Lab in the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In this episode, Joe interviews two members of the Heroic Hearts Project: Founder and President, Jesse Gould; and Director of Development and Head of Family Relations, Allison Wilson. Gould gives a background of Heroic Hearts Project and discusses their current projects and future goals, and Wilson talks about her nonprofit, The Hope Project, and its recent merger with HHP to bring more of a focus to the other side of veteran healing: the families of veterans. While Heroic Hearts and other veteran-aligned organizations have been an answer to many vets unable to find help otherwise (and frustrated with the inconsistencies of the VA), they talk a lot about that missing piece – how crucial it is to have family involved in a veteran's reintegration, and how that healing can impact future generations. "The Veteran's Guide to Psychedelics: A Preparation and Integration Workbook" was recently released, with all proceeds going to HHP, and they are hosting their first Gala event, "Operation: Freedom To Heal," this week, December 5, in Los Angeles. The goal of the event is to fundraise, gather community, and recognize the supporters who have gotten Heroic Hearts to where it is today, and will feature live and silent auctions and a performance by Melissa Etheridge.

She has been on a journey of learning and has written a few articles about the youth programs. 6:30 Dave was a previous priesthood quorum advisor before he became bishop. He shares what he learned from the handbook and tried to apply it in his calling. 8:15 Always start with the handbook when beginning a calling. 9:20 Helping the young women have more interactions and feel comfortable with the bishop. The bishopric needs to be spending regular time with the young women. 10:40 The bishopric is not the Young Men presidency. Since Doctrine & Covenants 107 was written they have always been the presidency over the Aaronic priesthood and nothing has changed. 12:40 There are four different people that are critical to buy into the new system for the youth to make it a success. The first is the bishopric. They need to balance focus between Young Men and the Young Women programs. 16:10 The responsibilities of the bishop have changed in the past five years with the new focus on the youth. To help him focus on the youth, the Relief Society president and elders quorum president can step in and help with people that need help in their organizations. 18:30 Dave's ward has begun support groups in the Relief Society for people struggling. It helps take some of the load off of the bishopric and allows them to do more with the youth. 19:40 Empowering the elders quorum president and Relief Society president and delegating to them. Dave shares how he does this. 20:40 When the new handbook now states that the bishop's role is to be over both Young Men and Young Women. With the release of the Young Men presidencies it allows the young men to step up and take on more leadership and responsibility. There needs to be training done to help get this done. 26:30 Helping the young women feel more welcome, more needed, and like they have a place in the Church. 28:30 There are numerous trainings in the handbook and those trainings should happen twice a year.

Hi Friends,Wow! Do we have a season for you! Our theme is “Facing Reality Claiming Leadership,” drawing from Meg Wheatley's work. We dropped a teaser episode with Dr. Wheatley in November, and it has certainly stirred conversation (ICYMI, listen here)! Over the next few weeks, you'll hear conversations with leaders across disciplines who offer insights on our current reality and lean into what it means to claim leadership in this environment. I can't wait to share them with you!We start with Dr. Pauline Boss, author of Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief, and I found her to be hope-filled, encouraging, validating, and motivating. Somehow, her insights manage to be both practical and weighty.She reminds us that we live in a mastery culture – that is, we want to be in control, have the answers, and win – which is, of course, a myth, so we are a nation (yes, a whole nation!) of unresolved grief, needing to name our profound sense of loss in the face of so much uncertainty. Wow! Think about the implications for the church – the essential role we can play in stewarding grief today, navigating uncertainty, residing in hope. We are made for this! We are a people formed in the wilderness and inhabiting a story of life-death-resurrection. This is our witness to the world!This conversation feels like holy ground to me. I hope it ignites a new imagination for your leadership, your relationships, your way of being in the world. By the grace of God, may it be so!LisaShow NotesThis conversation with Dr. Pauline Boss, author of Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief, is hope-filled, encouraging, validating, and motivating.

Grab a cup of tea, a notebook, a pen, and a quiet spot, for today you and I have the chance to sit down with a legend. Dr. Pauline Boss coined the term Ambiguous Loss as part of her thesis in the 1970s and has pursued and expanded its definition and treatment ever since. At 89 years old she is still writing, still learning, and as we get into in this talk, has seen quite a large amount of trends come and go in society and in the way we parent, teach, and treat. We discuss all different kinds of ambiguous loss including identity change, loss of a relative to dementia, and those who go missing and are never found. We also talk about the COVID-19 pandemic and the losses we are still suffering as a world community. I have never been so honored and so touched to have a guest make time for me. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. Pauline Boss, PhD, Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota is a Fellow in the American Psychological Association and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and a former president of the National Council on Family Relations. She practiced family therapy for over 40 years.

In fact, we're taught to avoid talking about finances because it's considered a bit gauche—especially when you don't know someone very well. Furthermore, what if you're not all that proud of your relationship with money? Maybe your bank account refuses to grow and “retail therapy” is your go-to coping mechanism! Or, it seems you just can't get ahead no matter how much you save! Emily Burnett can relate. She's a self-proclaimed “money mess” and “budget loather” who was thousands of dollars in debt. But then, she dramatically changed her relationship with money and found freedom in fiscal responsibility!  She shares her journey in her new book, Dear Fellow Spender:  Enjoy Using Your Money to Get Out of Debt, Build Savings, and Create a Life You Love.  And no, we don't need to have our finances completely sorted out in order to have healthy partnerships, but we do need to have an understanding of our relationship with money—because, research shows it's a factor that greatly influences marriages. Elliott and I have often discussed the reality that conflict about finances always ranks very high as a factor in why couples get divorced. Our spending habits reflect our values—and you know we're all about values on Love & Life! So whether you stick to a firm budget or you're a “money mess” as Emily used to be, we welcome you to this conversation about money, love, and values with Emily Burnett of Moso Money.

Money and relationships intersect on myriad levels. Our behavior around finances reflects our beliefs, values, and priorities—and, the same could be said about our behavior around relationships! Certified Financial Consultant Veronica Grant joins Elliott and me to discuss dating, relationships, and money. As Veronica puts it, “We don't want to bring bank statements to a first date, but it's important to gather information about financial choices and habits early on to be sure your values align in this all important domain.  Moreover, according to research in the journal, Family Relations, couples' arguments regarding finances are most predictive of divorce, so it's critical we learn about each other's spending patterns before we walk down the aisle! Specifically, Veronica, Elliott, and I delve into: Non-invasive questions to ask—even on a first date!—that will give you a sense of your date's financial choices and habits.  What to do if you realize you're not aligned on money matters. Money and power dynamics in relationships. All too often, we fail to acknowledge the profound impact of money on love and love on money.

Today I'm welcoming a very special guest, Dr. Jane Nelsen! Jane is the co-founder of the Positive Discipline Association, a worldwide training program that has certified thousands of Positive Discipline Facilitators in 88 countries (I am one of them!).  The original book, written in 1981, was the product of Jane's deep gratitude for the changes she was able to make as a parent of 7 children after learning the philosophy of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs in a college class in Child Development and Family Relations. Since that time, Jane has authored or co-authored many books, tool cards, and training manuals.  Today, Jane and I talk about how positive discipline came to be. We talk about the fundamentals of positive discipline and how punishment and praise are not a part of the PD philosophy. And we also talk about some of the tools that the positive discipline philosophy offers to parents and how this approach relates back to “Heartful Parenting”.  Making connections is the key to bring “heartfulness” into your parenting, your partnering, and your work. After listening to my conversation with Jane, you will walk away with some really specific tips you can use right away to start connecting in a more meaningful way with your kids.  It was such a treat to have Dr. Jane Nelsen on The Heartful Parent Podcast and I hope you find this conversation as inspiring to listen to as it was for me to be in conversation with Jane.

I read all of Janet Lansbury's books prior to my first daughter and told myself I can do this…then when my second was born (daughter had just turned 3), I started to fall apart. I found this podcast…and [went] down the amazing rabbit hole of this podcast. They dive into incredible topics, things I am thinking of, they read and discuss books I've read or are in my to-read list…I just cannot say enough good things about this podcast and these women. I listen while doing laundry, walking, making dinner…wherever I can. The mamas are like having coffee with best friends–they keep SO REAL. And during the pandemic–bless you girls. This time is so challenging, sometimes I feel like I am barely getting by–but they make me laugh because they remind you that everyone is going through this thing called life and motherhood–even now.

Here is more info on the subject: Functioning of the primary residential parent is important. According to Lye (1999),  “Children of divorce do better when the well-being of the primary residential parent is high. Primary residential parents who are experiencing psychological, emotional, social, economic, or health difficulties may transfer these difficulties to their children and are often less able to parent effectively.” However, she also found that well-being improves with time since the divorce. According to Furstenberg & Cherlin (1991), “It is likely that a child who alternates between the homes of a distraught mother and an angry father will be more troubled than a child who lives with a mother who is coping well and who once a fortnight sees a father who has disengaged from his family.” Further, Johnston (1995) said that “Joint custody is especially harmful when one of the parents is abusive, rigid, manipulative, or angry that he [or she] is divorced.”  Kelly and Emory (2003), in their research review article, conclude that “When custodial parents provide warmth, emotional support, adequate monitoring, discipline authoritatively, and maintain age-appropriate expectations, children and adolescents experience positive adjustment compared with children whose divorced custodial parents are inattentive, less supportive, and use coercive discipline.” Furstenberg, F.F., Jr., & Cherlin, A.J.

To answer this question, Dr. Narry Santos will be joining us today to help us better understand honor and shame during the time of Christ. Dr. Santos has two PhDs, one in the New Testament and another in Philippine Studies, and currently works as the Assistant Professor of Practical Ministry and Intercultural Leadership at Tyndale University. He will utilize his knowledge to break down and examine the dynamic of honor-shame as presented in the gospel, and how Mark reverses honor and shame during the climax of his chapters. We will also speak on relativization versus the natural family, the transformation of values, and how to identify honor-shame reversal and its patterns. Join us as we take a look at how the New Testament reverses shame to bring honor to God! 0:00:00 Meet Dr. Narry Santos, Assistant Professor of Practical Ministry and Intercultural Leadership at Tyndale University and Vice President of the Evangelical Missiological Society! 0:02:20 Who is your family? 0:04:40 How do your two PhDs influence your work? 0:07:25 What are some key points in your journey of learning about honor and shame? 0:09:20 What were your motivations for writing your second book? 0:10:30 How does your methodology differ from other works on honor-shame? 0:13:00 What is the thesis of your book?
