Welcome to The Family Room—where we talk about faith, relationships, and life in transition. If you've ever wondered, ‘What's next for me?'—you're in the right place. Hey I'm Billie, and today I'm sharing my personal story of feeling lost in the middle of massive change and how I found my way back to purpose, peace, and connection. What I've learned is that transitions are unavoidable. Whether it's retirement, an empty nest, relationship shifts, or career changes, we all face seasons where we feel unanchored. But those seasons don't have to be the end of the story. They can be the beginning of something beautiful, if we have a guide, a little clarity, and some hope.

Have you ever sat with a cup of coffee, staring out the window, wondering... Did I do enough? Am I still needed? Did I fail somewhere along the way? Maybe your kids are grown. Maybe they're distant. Maybe they live close but emotionally feel far. Or maybe you're still in the thick of parenting and just wondering... Why does everyone else seem more confident than I feel? Today on The Family Room, we're talking about what happens when doubt whispers loudest. Because even when your feelings say you're not enough, God says something entirely different.

Welcome to season 4 of The Family Room! This season I want to dig deeper into communication for in building hope for relationships. If you've ever felt lonely, disconnected, or unworthy in your relationships, you're in the right place. Communication is important for building a culture hope-filled, meaningful connections. Many of us feel increasingly disconnected from genuine human interaction and a sense of belonging. This is evident in increased loneliness and isolation and in the erosion of strong community bonds.  I believe we can bring hope to relationships through meaningful communication. Today, I want to introduce you to the Three Keys for communicating hope in relationships, curiosity, compassion, and commitment.

Mommy wine culture is pervasive and drinking while parenting has been normalized in recent years.  For many people, having a drink at night can feel like a reward for a hard day of parenting. Some parents find their alcohol consumption actually increases after kids as a way to not only reward themselves, but to reconnect with their relaxed and carefree past. There is a debate about how mom wine culture could be a troubling trend and is proof that the pressures of modern parenting are simply too much.On the podcast to share her story is Vanessa Garcia. Karen got to know Vanessa at The Family Room in Toluca Lake. She took Parent & Me with her daughter Scarlett, graduated and just recently aged-out of Toddler & Me. Vanessa has always been very open about her sobriety and shares  her story and what being alcohol- free in motherhood looks like for her.Vanessa specifically discusses: ·       How long she has you been sober and what caused her to make a change.·       How she navigates social events centered around drinking. ·       Advice she would you give someone who feels like their drinking may be problematic. Love the show?

Billie Jauss is an author, speaker and podcaster who has penned several faith-focused books. The wife of longtime professional baseball coach Dave Jauss, she uses the illustration of the game of baseball to explore life and friendships in her latest book "Baseball Family: The 9 Core Qualities for Developing Healthy Relationships." As life in professional baseball can be unpredictable, where at times those in the game have little say in where they live or who they work with, the book explores how to build community and strengthen relationships no matter the setting God puts someone. She joins former big leaguer Scott Linebrink on "Get in the Game" this week to share about her new book and the four distinct relationships we encounter daily and the nine core qualities that strengthen each type of relationship. In addition to writing and speaking, she hosts the "start small Believe Big" podcast and "The Family Room" podcast. "Get in the Game" is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.

Where we decide to raise our children is a fascinating topic, as many families today are raising their children in different places than their own childhood. Karen explores this topic with Bill Sy, a dad in our community and team member at The Family Room.  Karen met Bill almost ten years ago at playgroup in San Marino. Through chatting, she learned that Bill attended a boarding school not far from where she grew up.  Bill is now on The Family Room team and Karen later learned that while his parents are from the Philippines, his childhood was spent in Saudi Arabia, before he went to boarding school outside of Philadelphia, college in Michigan and now is raising his son in Pasadena.Childhood is shaped by the place or places where we are raised. Karen and Bill discuss how the different countries impacted Bill and how it affects his parenting today, too.  Love the show? Subscribe, Rate, & Review! https://www.familyroomcenter.com/podcast/

Self-care has become a buzzword that is often associated with two things many new parents don't have a lot of right now: time and money. It is relentlessly marketed to parents, especially moms as the answer for burnout, yet can often feel like yet another burden mothers are failing at. An article in Motherly described the double edge sword of self-care like this:“At its best, self-care reminds mothers that they matter, too. It tells them that prioritizing their own wellbeing doesn't mean they're neglecting their families. It gives mothers permission to put themselves first, if only some of the time. At its worst, self-care culture, guilt trips us for being unable to add ourselves to the massive workload of modern motherhood.” That in fact, we don't need self-care, we need society to care. On the podcast with Karen to unpack self-care, what true self-care looks like and discuss if self-care is enough to fix parent burn out is Kim-Lan Dovan. Kim-Lan is a licensed marriage and family therapist and lead Parent & Me educator at The Family Room. Karen and Kim-Lan discuss: - what self care is and isn't- examples of self-care from treats to boundaries- why self-care is important and should be a practice- how self-care can be a double-edge swordLove the show?

Kiva Schuler is the Founder and CEO of The Jai Institute for Parenting, and the author of the ground-breaking book The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent which examines the “consequences” of traditional parenting methods and offers a more modern approach grounded in emotional intelligence, values-led leadership, and effective communication. Kiva's passion for parenting stemmed from her own childhood experiences of neglect and trauma. Like many of her generation, she had a front-row seat to the kind of parenting that she did not want for her own children. The Jai Institute is the fulfillment of a promise that she made to herself when she was 16 years old that when she had children of her own, she would learn to parent them with compassion, consistency, and communication. On a mission to change the culture around parenting, Kiva wants children to grow up to reach their full potential, and live their lives free of trauma, shame, and emotional wounds. As a mother, she has built an extraordinary business that has touched tens of thousands of lives, and empowered others who share her mission to do this work.   What You'll Learn ●      How to raise responsible humans. ●      How to model self-regulation. ●      How to create healthy boundaries. ●      How to regulate modern accessibility. ●      How to rebuild intergenerational relationships.   Timestamps ·       [04:42] A bit about Kiva. ·       [08:01] Kiva's parenting philosophy. ·       [12:19] The idea of conformity. ·       [16:13] Regulating ourselves. ·       [29:16] Eating freedom. ·       [36:34] Where to draw the line. ·       [44:59] Understanding childrens' capacity. ·       [49:14] The paradigm of teenage behaviors. ·       [53:57] Navigating faith. ·       [56:10] Regulating modern accessibility. ·       [63:39] Rebuilding relationships.   Memorable Quotes ·       “Tension is contagious.” – Chris Yonker [23:58] ·       “Stop trying to put them in the box that we think they should be in.” – Kiva Schuler [51:41] ·       “All a child wants is to be seen and heard and acknowledged by their parent.” – Kiva Schuler [67:24]   Social Media LinkedIn:         Kiva Schuler.

Juggling a career and motherhood and all the implications to both your professional life and your parenting is often a hot topic at The Family Room. The day to day struggles of trying to balance conflicting priorities can feel overwhelming and often put us in a position where we feel like we are regularly letting someone down, being forced to make difficult decisions, and often comes with a lot of guilt.  Joining Karen on this episode to discuss this topic is Jen Carfagno, on-air meteorologist at The Weather Channel, and co-host of America's Morning Headquarters. During her 20- year career with The Weather Channel, she has worked various schedules, covered severe weather from hurricanes to snow storms and tornadoes across the country, all while raising her two daughters with her husband, Neil. She also happens to be Karen's best friend from high school. This episode is about working moms, a successful career in science and television, sacrifices, and so much more. It is also a story about friendship and a reminder that your choices don't have to look like your friend's choices.  Love the show?

Secondary infertility — the inability to have another child after having a first — affects about 11 percent of couples and takes families by surprise. The reasons  or lack of clear reasons are often the same for secondary infertility as primary infertility. And the emotions are often the same too, from sadness, to jealousy, and anger.  But now, because you are already a parent, you are surrounded by people growing their families, which can make it extra painful.In this episode, Liz Fischer, friend of Karen and Family Room educator, shares her secondary infertility journey.  After the birth of her son Henry, Liz did not anticipate the years of trying to have a second baby. Liz shares:- when she realized there was an issue trying to have a second baby and the interventions, from hormonal to medical, she tried- hurtful remarks by people who assume you're going to have more kids- feeling disconnected from parent friends she made the first time around- the effect on her relationship with her husband and tips to navigating the situation with a partner - managing the uncertainty of infertility and the emotional toll it took on her- advice she would give anyone struggling with second-time infertility Note, this episode does discuss loss. Love the show?

Meet Sophie Moeller - program director with the Northern Nevada Ronald McDonald House Charities. She sums up her job beautifully as, “I get to help families.” Located in Reno, the Ronald McDonald house lodges families living more than 30 miles away with a child receiving treatment at an area hospital. Doing so eases the emotional and financial strain families experience when children face health complications. In addition to the house, they offer additional programs bridging service gaps for families including the Ronald McDonald house, the Family Room at Renown, the Care Mobile, and the Travel-for-Treatment program.

We talk a lot about comparisons at The Family Room. Comparisons to other peoples experiences from pregnancy to early parenthood and beyond can make us feel terrible about our own journey. There is a popular saying that comparisons can be the thief of joy. Another comparison trap that everyone with two or more children has intentionally or unintentionally fallen into is sibling comparisons. In this episode Karen talks with Denise about sibling comparisons, why they are harmful,  how to avoid falling into the comparison trap, what to do instead to promote sibling sibling relationships, and more. Denise is a mother of two and teaches yoga at The Family Room in addition to leading the second time Parenting and Me group.Love the show?

If there's one thing that I've learned since starting this podcast, it's the power of sharing stories. And today's guest would wholeheartedly agree with that, as she's been helping women share their stories in powerful and meaningful ways for years. Jenette Jurczyk is the National Director of the She Said Project and a Professional Storytelling Coach. She's also the co-founder and President of the Family Room, a non-profit organization that supports foster children and families in her community. She's also the host of the She Said Podcast, which features the women who have taken the stage, held the microphone, and shared their story. In 2015, Jenette found her purpose and has been using her experience as an actor and director ever since to direct live performances and create a space where women are empowered to share stories they never thought they could. Jenette has not only helped countless women, but she's also created That's What Teens Say, a 3-day program where teenage girls have the opportunity to have the same experiences, which is so important and brings joy to so many for all the same reasons. As we wrap up season 2 of the podcast, I couldn't be happier to share this conversation with all of you and end the season on such a positive and uplifting note. In this episode, you'll get a glimpse of the tremendous impact that Jenette's passion has had on so many women, how her work allows women to give permission to themselves, the beautiful and moving stories that are shared, and how much joy Jenette receives in return. Key Takeaways with Jenette Jurczyk The sense of relief you feel by sharing your story, listening to someone else's story and having an epiphany. How the power of the She Said Project gives women permission to talk about themselves. The importance of finding or creating a place to explore your thoughts on your own or through social media. The incredible story of Donna Jones and how much of an impact it's had on Jenette. The success of That's What Teens Say 3-day program for teenage girls and how important it is for young women to have the same experiences.

My guest today, Karen Stoteraux, took a big leap of faith when she moved across country with her 3 year old after a divorce. We talked about how she found the courage to make the move and then create a community and space for new parents after her twins were born. Karen is the owner, founder, and CEO of The Family Room. Her passion for supporting women is tied to her own experience as a mother to three girls. After the birth of her twins, Karen was shocked by the lack of comprehensive support in her local community for women and families entering parenthood. She decided the best way to help families was to create a space just for parents and bring the most experienced birth, postpartum, and infant and child development professionals in the community under one roof. In 2014, Karen created what she wished existed. Today, The Family Room has two locations in the Los Angeles- area. Karen lives in Pasadena with her husband and children. To connect with Karen visit: https://www.familyroomcenter.com/ Follow on IG@thefamilyroom Listen to: We Are the Family Room PodcastBook she referenced: Broken Open by Elizabeth LesserTo connect with me, Alana Banana, follow on IG @TheAlanaBananaShow or join the Inspired Grownups Private FB Group. For The Alana Banana Show kids content subscribe to our Youtube Channel or listen to music online wherever you stream your music.

As we come one day closer to Title 42's expiration, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, is warning that once it's lifted, the cartels are going to have complete control over the southern border. The Biden administration claims it's taken the border seriously "since day one," which, seeing the current problems we're facing, is hard to believe. A left-wing activist went to a San Francisco board meeting to voice her displeasure in the wake of the controversial shooting of a black trans person. You won't believe what she did during this meeting. Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing for a $17 per hour federal minimum wage, and he is also advocating for a 32-hour work week without any accompanying decrease in pay for workers. Will this help or hurt businesses? Whoopi Goldberg is getting into the comic book arena, releasing her new superhero story, "The Change." What's the plot of this particular comic book? It follows a woman adjusting to menopause, which leads to her developing powerful abilities. You read that correctly.
