EPISODE DESCRIPTION:In this episode, I explore the integration of Motivational Interviewing (MI) into the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach for helping a child (or anyone) struggling with substance misuse. I share personal experiences, explain both methods' foundations and principles, and highlight their synergy in fostering effective communication and supporting positive change. I also share when MI will be useful for parents and how to use it, underlining the importance of empathy, creating a non-judgmental space, and building confidence in your child's ability to change. There are also tips on how to get to that empathic and compassionate place if you're not there today.EPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream Ep. 160 with Dr. Emily KlineDr. Emily Kline's website & book, "The School of Hard Talks"Motivational Interviewing For Loved Ones free e-course by Dr. KlineCRAFT efficacy researchMI and CRAFT researchMI Addiction Treatment Outcome EvaluationThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Cindy Esliger addresses difficult conversations in this episode: those dreaded conversations that involve challenging subjects or conflicts that need resolving. We would often prefer to avoid them but they're necessary for preventing larger difficulties and problems down the road. Hard discussions are a part of growth and resolution and can't be avoided forever. So learning to navigate difficult conversations like a pro is the easiest way to deal with their inevitability.  Avoiding difficult conversations will only make the issue worse in the future and addressing things early can prevent a much larger blow-up later. But broaching the subject is tough. We're often afraid to address the problem and initiate the hard talk out of fear that we may make things worse. Cindy shares five tips for approaching these situations without making them worse: 1) define the problem, 2) identify what is wanted before starting the conversation, 3) decide how to address it, 4) stick to the facts and feelings, and 5) use the power of validation. Cindy explains that while not every problem has a solution, addressing the tension is still important. She advises asking ourselves “Do we need to solve this problem or do we need to solve how we feel about this problem?”. Shifting perspective from finding a resolution to managing emotions and reactions to the problem can sometimes be more productive. Regardless of solutions, starting a difficult conversation is the most courageous thing we can do and will put us on a path towards fixing certain issues and forging stronger relationships. Cindy is here to shine a light on exactly how to navigate this rocky terrain.  Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Finding the Courage to Address Any IssueAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

On this week's (very late) episode, Stacy and Torrin talk about autism. Yes, that's what we do every episode, but today, we discussed the shame and fear people have when talking about autism. Often, parents and family members are hesitant to reveal their child's autism diagnosis, even if doing so would help everyone involved. We got to the root of the problem. Why are people ashamed and hesitant? How can we fix that?                                                                *** Help marginalized youth get the education they deserve.

"One thing I did have a question about is teaching kids finances and even talking to my spouse about it. We have no communication when it comes to finances. My husband is an entrepreneur businessman and very smart and I don't know a lot about that so I just let him deal with it. It's not the best situation but it has been this way for our entire marriage. We both want to be better at working together but what we are doing isn't working. He tells me he wants me to know what's going on but we haven't found a way where we can be open and talk without getting frustrated. He gets frustrated with me probably because I don't do things the way he does and I get frustrated with him because of the way he is doing it. LOL. If there is a book you could recommend or if you have a podcast sharing how you and Greg handle finances that would be awesome. Also, how do you teach your kids about money? My kids came to me the other day and they could feel the stress about money the past few weeks and it's really hard. It kind of feels like a feast or famine kind of deal. Things are going well, dad is happy, we can go do things, and then when things are tight it's a total flip and he goes from being totally free with money to saying "Why do you expect me to buy everything? We can't always do xyz...blah blah blah" and the kids get so confused. I do too. I know I am part of the problem too but I just don't know how to fix it." A fantastic and very relevant question! We have been there before -- feast or faminine. In our childhoods we both experienced poverty and lack, and in our adult, married lives together as well. So how did we move past it? By learning to communicate about money, abundance, bills, stress, income, and more. In this episode, we will share some specific strategies that have worked for us which have allowed us to move from a poverty, scarcity mindset to one of abundance -- which has helped us to double and triple and even 10x our income from the time we started as newlyweds.

You've probably heard me (and many of my guests) talk about letting go of the idea that you can control your teen or young adult child.  This is so hard to do, for obvious reasons, and parents who struggle with this have some valid questions: Isn't it our job to protect our kids at all costs? If I stop confronting these problems, isn't that just avoidance? How is this different from just giving up?My guest today says that these questions miss an important paradox: The more we let go of controlling behavior (which often doesn't work anyway), the more opportunity we have to gain real influence – especially with skills like Motivational Interviewing.Dr. Emily Kline received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, following up with clinical and post-doc training at Harvard Medical School.  She has presented to audiences all over the world on the topics of mental health and interpersonal communication. Her new book and (free!) E-course is titled The School of Hard Talks.I've been seeing Emily's name everywhere lately and I'm excited to finally bring you this conversation, in which we discuss:How Motivational Interviewing can help us give up control in exchange for influenceOne big reason adolescents and young adults can be self-destructiveSome go-to phrases to facilitate low-conflict discussion and relationship buildingThe podcast is now part of a nonprofit called Hopestream Community: www.hopestreamcommunity.orgLearn about The Stream, our private online community for moms, at www.thestreamcommunity.comWe now have a new community for dads parenting a child who struggles with substance use and mental health; The Woods: members.thewoodscommunity.orgFind us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload my free e-book, HINDSIGHT: Three Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Misusing Drugs: www.brendazane.com/hindsightJoin my email list: www.brendazane.com/email

Therapists and other professionals often use a style of communication with their patients, called motivational interviewing. The method uses open-ended questions and reflective listening to help people find their inner motivation for change. It was originally developed back in the 1980s to help patients who were ambivalent about addressing their substance use disorders. Since then, it has been used in many different professional settings. Dr. Emily Kline, a professor at Boston University School of Medicine felt motivational interviewing could be used in the family setting and through her research with hundreds of parents has shown that indeed it can be extremely beneficial. Join me as I talk to Dr. Kline about these conversational tools that can be used with your adolescent (whether a teen or young adult), to discuss any issue and encourages them to solve their own problems. She outlines her 5-step guide for parents in her new book, The School of Hard Talks, with a simplified version contained in her free online e-course at The School of Hard Talks Online.  For show notes (including resources mentioned in the podcast, source documents and a full transcript, go to https://neurogility.com/46.Speaking of Teens is sponsored by https://neurogility.com.FREE GUIDES for parents of teens and tweens:“10 Keys to Unlock Your Teen's Emotional Intelligence”“The Challenging Adolescent Brain” (e-book)“Emotional Awareness Strategies” (for parents)“Why Doesn't My Teen Sleep?” (e-book)“Communication for Teen Cooperation”“6 Things You Should Understand About Your Teen”“Helping Your Teen Overcome Negative Thinking”"I just wanted to let you know that I'm so thankful for your podcast! ...I'm so happy I discovered it!"

So, these conversations look different at different ages, but the subjects are necessary and good. How do we talk to our children about growing up, about death, and about eternity? These are just a few of the facets that they will deal with in the future. Bryan and Brian discuss how we can approach these hard talks with a biblical foundation to build upon. Families For Life is a podcast of Oakhill Baptist Church.

Why can't everyone on your team just behave? Why can't they just do the right thing or treat everyone else the right way?  This is the biggest frustrations of most leaders.  When dealing with behavior issues, it's so time consuming.  You can't focus on the things you want when you're dealing with bad behaviors.  What happens when you don't deal with bad behaviors?  Who is really in charge if you allow in to continue?  On this week's episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, learn how to deal with bad behaviors so you can move on and focus on what wins.

Content Advisory: This episode deals with adult themes. . . This week on Families For Life, Bryan and Brian are joined by guest Matt Higgins. Matt is the Pastor of Worship and Communications at Northwoods church in Evansville, Indiana and he is a certified Biblical counselor.  It's long been one of the hardest of Hard Talks for parents to have, the “sex talk.” With culture pushing disordered sexual behaviors, the conversation may seem more difficult than ever. Take encouragement in the fact that there are more opportunities than ever to teach your kids about a Biblical sexual ethic. How do we avoid falling into the stressful trap of having a one time, exhaustive talk and break the subject into age appropriate, digestible conversations to be had over the course of their childhood. Bryan, Brian, and Matt discuss various aspects of the topic and how we can better handle these discussions in a Biblical way. We hope that this podcast blesses you and helps to better equip you in your efforts to parent Biblically. ARTICLE: There's Something Terribly Wrong With “Euphoria” BOOK: I Can't Say That!

The next installment of Hard Talks on the Families For Life podcast focuses on the topic of failure. Bryan and Brian look at the types of failure, some of the different effects that failure can have on our lives, and the lessons we can learn through failure from a Christian context. How can we have a right understanding of failure that we can then build into our children? Gain a better understanding this week. Families For Life is a podcast of Oakhill Baptist Church.

This week, Bryan and Brian examine the topic of another Hard Talk with the subject of character. Did you know that the dictionary definition of character is very simple and vague? It opens true character up to a variety of interpretations. As Christians, we want to define character according to the scriptures, so that we can possess a biblical character that impacts who we are and what we do in a way that honors Christ and blesses others. Listen for encouragement toward the building up of godly character in this episode. Families For Life is a podcast of Oakhill Baptist Church.

Bryan and Brian begin a new series of episodes called ‘Hard Talks.' This is a series of episodes geared toward helping parents to approach difficult conversations with their children on a variety of important topics. This first episode examines a biblical understanding of obedience. Why is it important to be obedient? How do parents train their kids in obedience? If you aren't a parent, there's still wisdom to be gained and we'd love for you to share this resource with others that you think could benefit from them. Thanks for listening!

Knox is an incredibly wise and artistic soul with insight I knew I needed to hear

Not all conversations can be easy, but it doesn't mean we should avoid the hard ones. On today's episode, Kaitlin & Darbi chat about the hard talks that need to happen in our lives, both with God and people so that we can grow and be healthier. They give examples and some practical tips to survive the conversations we can't avoid. 

Welcome to Bachademia. Bill is somewhere that is not Cedar Falls. Danielle is still in her cloffice. Danielle is now talking in 3rd person, so that's how that's going. We have a give away coming up soon. Question: If this semester was a color, what color would it be? Also, do you have a favorite travel snack? Last week, we said goodbye to Jamie which means there was an opening for the Bachelorette villain. Who will it be? After Martin impressed Michelle with his care and attention last week, she begins this week by inviting him on a one-on-one. When the date card is revealed, Olu lets us know that he's surprised by this decision because Jamie and Martin were apparently close. At dinner the conversation continues. Martin talks a lot. He tells us that he's blunt, working on his communication skills, and never cries. Somehow this works. Michelle says that she feels like Martin listens and applies what he's learning and she gives him a rose. Whatevs folx. We move onto the group date: Will, Chris S., Casey, Chris G., Leroy, Rodney, Olu, Brandon, Clayton, Joe, Romeo, and Nayte. This let's us know that Rick will get the next one-on-one. Nayte expresses disappointment and says that his one-on-one will come. Apparently those are drama starting words so hold onto them.The date is a slumber party. They all get silky pjs and there's a risky business montage with Chris. It is moments like these, I really question my decision to watch this show. Like what am I doing with my life? The guys are having fun. Clayton is punching Olu in the stomach. I have no idea why. (Also, Clayton, still not interesting). They have a teddy bear fight, a not so interesting twist to the classic pillow fight. Michelle doesn't feel paid attention to. After the winning team gets dosed (sp) with confetti no one pulls michelle aside. Except for Kaitlyn who notices and has a heart to heart with Michelle.At the cocktail party, Michelle expresses her disappointment in the men and explains that growing up she often felt overlooked and that is a sore spot for her. Olu responds empathetically and talks about his sisters experiences. Michelle tells Nayte she especially feels hurt by him and he apologizes and promises to do more to make her feel seen. The next day, Rick and Michelle have their one-on-one. They walk through the woods and find a wish box. They add their wishes and Rick talks about losing his father. They add a wish that reads, I wish to find love by having hard conversations. Thoughts?At dinner Rick opens up more about his upbringing. We learn that he found out his dad was cheating on his mom. He also let's Michelle know that he is falling in love with her.So we enter the cocktail party and we still don't have this episode's villain. Enter Chris. Chris let's the guys know that Michelle was really upset about being ignored. He's ready to save the day. Also, he thinks Nayte is cocky.Side note: did you notice that she said she'd never had peanut m&ms before? Rose ceremony: Brandon, Leroy, Joe, Rodney, Clayton, Casey, Nayte, and Chris S. join Martin, Olu, and Rick Go home: Chris G., Romeo, and Will The big news: They are going to MN.Predictions? Lessons learned?Give us a review on Apple Podcast by Sunday Nov 14 and you would win a custom tie-dye shirt!!!Rate us on Apple Podcast and you could win a custom tie-dye by Mother in-law Sue!

Hello, my sweet Self Lover! Before we jump in, I wanted to let you know that today's episode could be triggering, as we will be discussing teen suicide. If you choose not to listen, I completely understand, and I will see you next week. Take care of you. This episode is heavy, raw, and real. Our guest this week is Jason Reid – he is an entrepreneur who coaches CEOs and writes books. But, three years ago his world was forever changed with the loss of his youngest son, Ryan, to suicide. Since then, Jason has made it his life's mission to educate other parents on how they can be a better advocate for their children's mental health – because it is JUST as important as their physical health. If you feel called to, please share this episode with someone who may benefit from hearing Jason's story. If you or anyone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please call 1-800-273-8255. Or, visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org – there is a chat feature available, in case you are not comfortable speaking with someone over the phone.

I have no doubt Leaders would rather not have to have hard talks.  We know we need to but I've never met a Leader that looks forward to having them.  When you don't have the hard talks, when you don't set boundaries of behaviors, you have to ask who is in charge?  Is it the Leader, or the allowable behaviors that are now in charge. In this podcast, we'll talk about how to approach hard talks and if you haven't been having hard talks, how by starting small, you can get better at having them and moving your team forward.  The fact is, all Leaders have a brand, a way of how your team, your company and your Customers look at you.  In order to build your leadership brand and honestly, not allowing behavior stress to rob your teams' joy, start having the hard talks and more importantly....always have the hard talks when you need to!   Let's Connect On LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-charest-a08369a4/ Supplemental Information: https://hbr.org/2017/05/how-to-have-difficult-conversations-when-you-dont-like-conflict https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/some-assembly-required/201703/how-have-difficult-conversations

He opens up about his difficult upbringing and why he moved away; his walking(dancing) through life and diversity, as a proud, gay, black man. He shares his trepidations and the courage it took for him in coming out to all of his loved ones.His story is truly inspiring and we were humbled by his candor and willingness to open up in support of others who might need it and may be struggling.We'll tangent as per usual, laugh through the "hard" stuff together and reminisce over the good ol Chick-Gil-A days and all of the wild escapades that he and Hippie have had together over the last decade or so..As always we ask that you follow or subscribe on all major platforms and don't forget to comment and share with your friends!!!

Part 1:  Sibling vs. Sibling How many of you have had your eye on something in your parent's home and your parents told you that you were going to get it when they pass?  Now, how many of you have had your parents pass with NO WILL? The reality is that if you have siblings, dealing with a parent's estate if they left no will can cause all kind of issues. Part 2:  Parent vs. Sibling How many parents have the attitude that they don't have to worry about planning for death?   In other words, let your kids figure it out.   However, families have been broken up due to not knowing the wishes of their parents.      

Ugh...there is a huge problem with someone's performance or behavior and it just can't be swept under the rug.  Rather than allowing anger and resentment to build, it's important to face these kinds of issues head on.  However, you don't want to go charging in full of righteousness.

Sometimes we forget that it takes some homework and a set up to have the hard talks with the people we love. This time I talk about and share some different perspectives on what we can do to get ready to have those hard talks with our significant other whether we have been together one day or 15 years. I also go into a few ways you can begin to have the discussion about intimacy and BEGIN to have those hard convos. Things like “There is just no more passion anymore”, “ Im not attracted to you anymore”, “I just feel its an obligation”. We cant get to those points until we take a few steps before that. Its a muscle. Everyone is a beginner at one point in trying something new. Takes practice.

In this week's episode I am celebrating all Mamas everywhere! And, while I love all things Mother's Day, I am also cognizant that Mother's Day isn't joyful to all. So, with that said, To that Mama scrolling through Facebook on Mother's Day seeing everyone's beautiful family pictures and celebrations, while struggling to find your own joy, I see you.I know that there are women out there who struggle every Mother's Day. Those who can't scroll through social media because it makes them feel so very empty and incomplete.To those Mountain Moving Mamas out there fighting for your child's very life, I see you. To those Warrior Mamas who have suffered unthinkable tragedy and lost your children, I see you. To those Overcomer Mamas that have fought through Hell and back for both you and your children, I see you. To those Survivor Mamas whose womb has never been filled, I see you. To those Fighter Mamas who may not have a relationship with your children right now but won't give up until you do, I see you. To all the Mamas out there who can't look at the picture of my smiling family on Mother's Day without your heart breaking in two,I SEE YOU.I don't for one second take it for granted, nor do I post without considering how painful this day may be for each and everyone of you. I see you and I love you. I'm aware that after Mother's Day is over, those of us celebrating will go back to life as we know it. We'll rush kids out the door and off to school, yell at our children to stop picking on their brother, and shuttle kids to baseball practice, gymnastics, cheer, etc... And you, will continue life as you know it, a life that none of us can imagine and pain that none of us have experienced. I wish there was more comfort I could offer you. But, for today, know this. I SEE YOU and I LOVE YOU!"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all." ~2 Thessalonians 3:16Every season brings a new challenge, new guilt, and new fears... As a Mom , I very rarely feel like I know what I am doing. To the Mom who just had a new baby and feels completely lost, I see you. I was you. You have your first baby. He's beautiful and you've never experienced love more deeply than this very moment. You can't believe you and your husband made such a perfect human being. You leave the hospital, take him home to ntroduce him to his new house, lay him in his basinette and then smile as you watch his little chest rise up and down as he sleeps peacefully. You smile as you listen to his sweep sleep noises and then suddenly realize his chest isn't rising up and down in the same rhythm it was a second before. You stare intently at the rhythm of his tiny chest. Panic creeps in as you start to worry what would happen if he didn't remember to breathe. You scoop him up out of his basinette and take him over to the couch where you can lay with him on your chest so that you can make sure he continues to breathe. Exhausted you fall asleep only to wake up at 2 am with the baby still sleeping on your chest. You instantly feel like a failure. DO NOT co-sleep. This was the first rule broken. You realize that you have no idea what on earth you are doing and you can't believe anyone has entrusted you with the life of another human. To the Mama with an infant that doesn't sleep and wants to be held constantly, that is currently hiding in her closet listening to this podcast just to be able to gain a few moments of uninterrupted sanity…. Girrrrrl…. Let's pause for a moment of silence. I get it. He doesn't like you and you're not certain you like him at this very moment. You will get through this. You will survive. That infant will turn into a toddler that wraps his chubby arms around your neck and kisses your face, then a little boy that picks you wildflowers, and eventually onto a young man with the funniest personality. You will laugh at his unique perspective on things and be amazed at the way his mind takes the world in. You will not only like each other, but relish your time spent together and conversations had. To the stay at home mom whose baby is about to start school, I see you. I remember the gut wrenching sadness of knowing that someone else would have my baby for 8 hours a day. I remember knowing that my children's safety was turned over to someone else for the majority of the week. I remember thinking that they would now spend more time in the care of others than with me for the next 13 years. I remember thinking that I wish I would have held them more when they were home every day with me and that the last five years had been the fastest of my life. I remember hoping and praying that I had done everything right. I remember praying that I had taught them to be kind to others, to wait their turn, to use their manners, to wash their hands after using the restroom and before they eat, to not drink from the water fountain. I remember hoping and praying that they would be a light to others that they come in contact with. I remember praying that they would remember their personal boundaries and use their voice if that was ever violated. I remember praying that they would not learn about things that would violate their innocence. I remember hoping and praying that they would not bully or be bullied. I remember hoping that their teachers would love them and they would feel cared for. But, most of all, I remember feeling lost. I had invested 8 years of my life with kids at home I had spent every day having someone that needed me. I wasn't ready to not be needed daily. Know that this is a new chapter. You've done your job and they won't forget that. They will come home excited to tell you about all they've learned & the friends they've met. Know that this is time to work on you, to get back to who you were before becoming someone's Mommy. And that chick, well she's pretty awesome! To the Mom of a Teen that is standing on what seems like the scariest precipice yet, I see you and am with you. It seems like I blinked and he's become a man. A beautiful kind young man and there is nothing I can do about it. I would give anything to go back to him being 3 years old, standing in the living room in a tuxedo that was 2 sizes too small, asking me to go put on a princess dress and dance with him. I did. And I'm so thankful I did. Because now, it's other girls that he wants to dance with.  I can't keep him from doing stupid things or making mistakes. His dad & I made our own decisions and mistakes and he'll have to do the same thing. I wish I could put him in a bubble and keep him from getting hurt, but I can't. He inevitably will think I'm a moron and not take my advice and that's okay. He has to take his own steps on this journey. Don't get me wrong, we'll provide guidance, but ultimately its up to him.  All that I can do is speak truths into him that I hope he will remember. I will tell him that he is loved beyond measure, seen and know, and more valuable than he could ever imagine. I hope to teach him that he is not defined by the number of a test grade or a sports score and that his character is not intertwined with athletic achievement or academic credit. I hope that he knows his character is instilled within him and comprised of his moral values.  I hope that he knows regardless of what path he takes or how many times he stumbles, he doesn't have to walk it alone & I will always be there to help him back up.  It's a scary, scary time to be raising teenagers, but I believe that we can not only do it, but do it well. When Mommin feels hard and you get stressed I want you to ask yourself: What if you woke up tomorrow with only what you were grateful for today?And, regardless of how many times you screw up remember, God made you the mother to your children. You were placed in each others' lives as part of a master plan. There is nothing you can do to screw up his plan. Things to remember when raising kids: 1. Kids want love and boundaries. It's okay to be strict. It is your job to teach them right from wrong. To give them rules. It is your job to raise them to be well rounded contributing members of society. It is not your job to be their friend or the fun mom. 2. COMMUNICATION is the number one key to being a “good mom”. Talk to your kids. Own it when you screw up. Don't shame them but instead explain why that decision is being made. Have the Hard Talks.3. Your kids joined your life. You did not join theirs. Your world does not have to revolve around their activities. Let's talk sports. You DO NOT have to make every single baseball game little Johnny plays… he started at 3 and will play until he's 18. That's roughly 150 games…. If he doesn't play travel ball or tournaments…. And that's for one sport. It's okay if Bunco Night falls on the same night as a game, go fill your cup. It will be okay. He'll also learn he's not the center of your universe which will serve you greatly when he's a teen. Let them bleed, meaning let them explore the world. Let them fall and bump their knees. Help them back up while they learn from their mistakes. Most of all, we're all doing our best in this crazy thing called Mom Life.
