Hi friends! Today we're talking about what to watch for once you've gotten your baby goats through that first critical week. We're talking about the most common problems we see in the first month after goat kids are born, what to watch for, and what to do. I'm also sharing about a big loss we had this year, what we learned from it, and I'm reminding myself that it's only a failure if you don't learn something. Listen in and learn how to keep those goat kids healthy until they're ready to wean. Let's get to it! All the Best!

Are parents more judged than ever? This eye-opening conversation e tackles the quiet shame and loud opinions parents face every day — from their partners, their own parents, in-laws, friends, and especially the online world. Andrew and Caroline dig into the everyday moments that spark doubt, the awkward birthday parties, the unsolicited advice, and why the loudest voices often come from the most insecure places. With laughs, lived stories, and a challenge to step back from the noise, this episode is a must for every parent who's ever second-guessed themselves. Come for the diaper explosions, stay for the sanity-saving truths. Homework Ideas Check your parenting compass: Write down three values that matter most to you as a parent. Let those guide your choices — not outside voices. Play “Parent Role Reversal”: Try parenting for a week as if you were your co-parent. Are you usually the “fun one”? Try being firmer. More structured? Try leaning into flexibility. Talk about what worked (and what didn't). Practice Connection Over CorrectionPractice staying grounded in connection — even when you're dealing with tough parenting moments. Complete the following and keep it on the fridge, in your car, or folded in your wallet. It's for you, your values, and your kids. Calm-Down Conversation Starters (Use when emotions are high — for both you and your child.)“Let's take a minute together. I'm here.” “This is hard right now. You're not in trouble. Let's figure it out.” “We're on the same team. What do you need from me right now?” “I need a minute to calm myself, and then we'll talk.” Check-In Prompts (Ask yourself before responding.) Am I reacting from fear, embarrassment, or pressure? What does my child need right now — not just what I want them to do? Is this about them… or about how I'm feeling? Will this teach them something helpful? Accountability Without Shame (Help your child take responsibility while keeping their dignity intact.) “I saw what happened — tell me what was going on for you.” “That choice didn't work. Let's think about a better way for next time.” “You don't have to be perfect. You do have to try again.” “What do you think needs to happen now to make things right?” Define Your Parenting Non-Negotiables (Write down your top 3 values to guide tough decisions.) 1. _________________________________________ 2. _________________________________________ 3. _________________________________________ Anchor Phrase (Write your own!) This is your go-to reminder in the middle of chaos. Something short that brings you back to what matters. “My anchor phrase is: _________________________________________” Keep this close. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to show up, stay steady, and stay human. Enjoying the show?

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by Naomi Overton—CEO, author, and general editor of Every Woman's Bible.

We also dive into the incredible backstory of Every Woman's Bible—how it came to be, what makes it different, and the worldwide team of women who made it happen.You'll hear about: • Why Ephesians is her anchor • The power of crossing barriers in Jesus' name • How her mission was shaped by love and justice • What it means to truly embrace every woman • Why this Bible is both solid in theology and full of invitationWe also talk about how Every Woman's Bible isn't just another women's Bible—it's an embrace. A place where your story meets God's story and you're reminded you belong.

Can AI parent better than a human?

Caroline reacts to a parenting philosophy generated by AI that sounds suspiciously familiar… This episode dives into emotional safety, respecting brain development, discipline as teaching, and why “raising a kind adult” should matter more than perfect behaviour.Homework Ideas:Try the “5 Mississippi Rule”: When your kid is melting down, silently count 5 Mississippis before you say or do anything.

We've had our system going for nearly 5 years, and it's pretty much maintenance free, which is really nice.

Hi friends! We're in the thick of kidding season, and today I'm sharing about a new kidding experience I had a couple days ago, assisting a doe with a posterior (breech) kid. We've had lots of breech kids before, but never one that I couldn't safely get the back legs repositioned, so this was a new one. Goats never stop teaching me new things. I'm also sharing some tips on how to be prepared for emergencies before they happen, which is vital. Let's get to it! All the Best!

Hi friends! Today we're talking about getting ready for kidding. We've already done the early preparations – ordering tags, making sure we have the needed supplies on hand, and now it's time to get everything organized and in place so we're ready when that first kid is born soon. We'll talk about the details – the little things that make caring for kids and keeping good records easier, and the things that keep frustration away, which helps us all win in the long run.

Hi friends! Last week we talked about building fence for goats, and today we're talking about how to manage your goat herd so that they respect your fence. Goats are notorious for challenging fences, usually by jumping or shimmying under, but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm going to share what we've learned about dealing with problem goats, and what you can do to prevent problems in the first place.

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
