In this episode of the Fitness League, hosts Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle discuss the transformative experience of cold plunging, the challenges of balancing parenting with personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining in-person community connections. They share personal anecdotes about their experiences with cold plunges, the benefits of tracking recovery through heart rate variability (HRV), and the complexities of navigating social media as entrepreneurs. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication within family dynamics and the need to prioritize mental health during busy seasons of life.

Like many couples, Bob and Wendy Griffith initially disagreed about foster care. Bob saw lots of obstacles. But after meeting with local community leaders about how his church could be more effective, the greatest need was in foster care. Thus began a personal journey for the Griffiths of fostering and adoption.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I have two adopted twin boys who are 8 months old, and we've had them since birth. We've been on the fence for years about a big move outside of the country, but we're currently leaning towards leaving. My husband and, by extension, our kids have dual nationality with the country we'd go to. Thankfully, I'm also allowed to tag along.We currently live near a large family and support network from both sides of the family and would be mostly on our own except for a few distant relatives after the move. We are also close and in frequent contact with our sons' birth family, but they don't live near us so that relationship has always been planned to be a mostly long-distance relationship.We would plan on setting aside funds just for visiting our family and our birth family every one or two years, but ultimately all our children's family relationships will become long-distance. We worry about the move exacerbating feelings of abandonment or isolation from all sides of their family as they'd not only be raised in another culture but another language and continent. We all come from similar cultural backgrounds, so we aren't too worried about being able to keep them in touch with their birth culture. But we want to be sensitive to their particular needs as to how this could affect them as adoptees.Is there any research on how adoptees are affected by being adopted into larger vs smaller families? Or adoptees who move abroad or are adopted into immigrant families? Or is there some advice to be gleaned from families adopting internationally that would apply to our situation?Our children are our highest priority, and we want to set them up for success whether or not we move.Resources:Open Adoption (Resource)Self-Care for Parents & Caregivers (Resource)Creating a Family Online Support Group (Facebook)Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Based on her new book I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa explores eleven relational red flags – the difference between discernment and triggers, trusting God when you struggle with painful outcomes, trusting God when people hurt you and get away with it, the secret to healing, and more.   I Want to Trust You, But I Don't   Counseling   Hope Restored   Setting Boundaries in Your Most Difficult Relationships   If you've listened to any of our podcasts, please give us your feedback.
