Hi friends!  It's almost time for County Fair here, and with that comes a lot of reflecting about the kids and their growth doing livestock projects.  Today we're talking about the power of animals and livestock in the lives of our kids, and how responsibility, work ethic, and good mentors can launch kids into a new level of self-confidence doing hard things even when they don't want to or think they can't.  Whether you are interested in 4-H, FFA or giving your kids the responsibility of raising livestock outside of a formal program, this episode gives insight into some unexpected benefits when kids grow up raising animals.   All the Best!

Are therapists' kids really more "messed up"? In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline explore the myths and realities surrounding parenting as a mental health professional. From bringing work home, to pathologizing kids, to the fine line between validation and over-parenting, they explore what's myth, what's truth, and where parenting is just parenting. With humour, honesty, and real-life examples (including pranks gone wrong), this episode offers perspective for parents navigating their own parenting style, whether or not they work in the helping professions.Homework IdeaLet Kids Feel Without FixingNext time your child is distressed, resist the urge to immediately jump in with strategies.Instead, sit with them, acknowledge the feeling, and give them space to calm on their own.Journal afterwards: How hard was it for you to pause? Did your child surprise you?Practice Emotion CoachingEmotion Coaching helps children understand and manage their emotions. It encourages emotional intelligence, strengthens parent-child relationships, and boosts resilience in kids. Try practicing:See emotions as opportunities for connection. Emotions aren't good or bad, they're opportunities to teach and connect. Validate without judgment: “I get why that made you upset.”Listen and validate. Show empathy by reflecting feelings tentatively: “That must have been disappointing.” Listen actively, avoid immediately solving problems.Help your child label their feelings clearly. Guide them gently to name their feelings. Use a feelings chart or wheel to help. Collaboratively problem-solve or set limits if needed, without taking over: “What do you think might help?” Set clear limits on behavior, not emotion: “It's okay to be angry, but we don't yell at people.. What would be a better way to show how you're feeling?” Enjoying the show? Help us out by rating us on Apple! https://apple.co/3du8mPK Follow us on Facebook and join our Facebook Community!

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about another way to make money with goats – grazing for hire.  We'll talk about the infrastructure you need and different ways you can use the goat herd you already have to bring in some extra income while grazing your goats for other people to help clear out overgrown forage or mitigate fire risk.  I'll talk about our experience grazing for hire, what was challenging, what we loved, and what I think the future holds for this income option.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

In this episode of Parents of the Year, we ask a question many are too afraid to say out loud: If you knew then what you know now… would you still choose to have kids?With honesty, humour, and zero sugarcoating, Andrew and Caroline share stories of being ignored mid-sentence, kids crashing vehicles into trees, and the daily grind of parenting teens who “know everything and nothing at once.” But it's not all eye rolls and sticky toffee pudding disasters—there's awe, laughter, deep connection, and the bittersweet magic of watching your children turn into people you genuinely like.If you're parenting in the thick of it, thinking about what you wish you'd done differently, or simply craving a little validation, this one's for you.Homework IdeasReflection Activity: "Would You Still Choose Parenthood?" Journal or talk with your partner about:What moments bring you the most joy?What do you wish you'd done differently? And how can you use that to make changes moving forward?What matters most to you in the next 10 years?Listening Challenge: 24 Hours of Yes Practice shifting from “No” to “Yes, and…” Try saying yes to one request a day that you'd normally shut down—notice how it changes connection and conflict.Conversation Starters for Families Small Moments Matter: Try a prompt below or let your kids  pick a number at random to spark connection. These are perfect for dinner chats, drives, and bedtime wind-downs.  What made you laugh today? (Even a tiny giggle counts.)Was there a moment today you felt proud of yourself? (Doesn't have to be school-related.)Did anything surprise or confuse you today? (Help them get curious, not just correct.)If today had a soundtrack, what song would be on it? (Answers can be funny, moody, or completely random.)Did you notice anyone being kind—or not so kind—today? (People-watching meets empathy.)What's something you wish adults understood better about kids? (Spoiler: this one might sting.)If you could rewind one moment from today, which one would you choose—and why? (Great for reflection without shame.)What's something small you're looking forward to tomorrow? (Helps kids build anticipation and notice the good.)When did you feel the most ‘you' today? (Encourages identity, confidence, and self-awareness.)Want to just sit here together for a minute? No talking needed. (Some of the best connection doesn't need words.)Enjoying the show?

Hi friends!  Last week we talked about all the reasons to start with terminal livestock if you're a beginner or just getting started raising farm animals.  Today I'm going to dive into that a little deeper and talk about why you should start with smaller livestock like sheep and goats instead of cattle.  We're going to talk about meat and dairy and risk management, especially through those beginner phases where lots of mistakes and learning happen.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

Vacations, late nights, screen time sprees—summer throws structure out the window. But what happens when back-to-school hits like a brick? In this episode, Andrew and Caroline talk how to hold onto a little routine without turning your home into a boot camp. They unpack simple ways families can keep anchor habits going—even at the cabin or with teenagers rolling out of bed at noon. You'll hear tips on habit stacking (yes, the morning pee counts), making chores suck less, using streaks and gamification, and how to build routines without nagging or meltdowns. Plus, why setting up your environment matters more than willpower. Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, this episode will help you create summer flow that still sets you up for a smoother school-year shift. Homework Summer Routine Jumpstart Checklist Pick ONE small habit you want to reintroduce (bedtime, reading, outdoor time). Anchor it to something that already happens (e.g., after lunch → 30 min quiet reading). Use a visual tracker or calendar for “Don't break the streak” motivation. Collaborate with kids: pick the habit, rename it (e.g., “Treasure Hunt” instead of “clean up”), and make it fun with music or timed sprints.  Check out these resources guides to help have the best summer ever and transition back to schoolUltimate Guide Book to the Best Summer EverBack to School SuccessConquering Back to School Anxiety Guide Enjoying the show?

Hey Sister-Friend, How are you doing today? I hope you are well  Today, we will look at part 2 of the four pillars of trauma healing that every Christian woman should know. In part one (episode 140) I unpacked the first 2 pillars of trauma healing, which are: Relational safety and preparation, and Education and skills building In this episode, I will discuss the last two pillars: Desensitization and Integration Prost traumatic growth and resilience. Many trauma survivors know that they want healing but are not quite sure how the process would look. By sharing these foundations, it will provide some insight into what you can expect the trauma-healing journey to entail. Your exact process would be tailored and co-created between you and your chosen mental health professional, and with the information in this episode, you will be able to explore and discuss what would be helpful to your healing. I hope you enjoy this episode and I wish you every success in your trauma-healing journey.  Blessings and Love Jenniel

Hey, Sister-friend

Hey Sister-Friend,   Today we get to explore the foundations of trauma healing. In this episode, I will share the foundation that Christian women should base their healing on and how to build that foundation. I talk about the first 2 pillars of trauma healing so you know what to look for and what to expect as you take (or consider taking) your first step toward healing.   Knowing the psychoeducation about how the traumatized body heals best gives hope to those seeking help. The first two pillars will be discussed today and tune in next week for the last two pillars.   The foundation on which we build healing – as you may have guessed- is knowing God as he truly is and your identity in him. I will share tips on how you can become more grounded in both areas. Pillar number 1 is relational safety and preparation. I will share why this is essential in trauma treatment. The second pillar is education and skills building. It is also important to understand the biological and physiological impacts of trauma on the body and how the state of the body directly influences one's behaviour and actions. This will help you let go of any guilt, shame or frustration around any responses to triggering events. Instead, you will gain a new understanding of how to work with your body before you reach a state of upset or dysregulation.   I enjoyed producing this episode and I hope you find it educational and helpful.   Blessings and Love Jenniel   Links Mentioned: Inductive Bible Study
