Summer can feel terrifying when you're parenting a struggling teen or young adult. The routines disappear. Structure falls away. And suddenly you're left wondering how to support your child without slipping into control, conflict, or constant anxiety.And if your teen is coming home from treatment? The pressure can feel even heavier.Today, I sit down with Hilary Moses to talk about what parents often misunderstand about summer break, especially when supporting a struggling teen during summer break after treatment. Because summer isn't just “time off.” For many families, it's a major transition period filled with fear, guilt, uncertainty, and a loss of structure.We talk about the difference between healthy structure and control, why parents often panic when they see old behaviors resurface, and how to create support systems that actually help your teen build resilience instead of dependence.Hilary also shares practical ways parents can approach screens, friends, boredom, jobs, driving, boundaries, and expectations during the summer months without falling into exhausting power struggles.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to create a perfect summer. You're not trying to raise a perfectly compliant child. You are helping a young person slowly learn how to navigate real life with support, structure, and connection.In this episode on supporting your teen's transition home from treatment during summer break, we discuss:Why summer break can feel so destabilizing for struggling teens and familiesThe hidden challenges of bringing a teen home from treatment during summerHow to create healthy summer structure without micromanaging your teen or young adult childSupporting your child with jobs, responsibilities, and independenceWhat parents often misunderstand about motivation and accountabilityHow to approach “red flag” friendships with more nuanceWhy isolation and loneliness are major risks during summer breakHow fear pushes parents back into controlling patternsWhat healthy boundaries and expectations actually look like at homeWhy parents need resilience just as much as their kids doMore about Hilary MosesHilary Moses, MSW, LCSW, is a widely-esteemed therapist and parent coach who, throughout her career as a wilderness clinician and program clinical director was among the most highly regarded in the field. Hilary is a national public speaker and presenter, has written and developed parenting and transition curricula, facilitated hundreds of workshops and family seminars, and was an adjunct professor for the Masters in Social Work program at Arizona State University's Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions. Hilary co-authored, “H.O.M.E: Strategies for Making home a SUCCESS during and after Treatment”.Looking for support?

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week, I'm talking about the energy of money, why it can feel so emotional, and why this Year of the Horse is asking us to get honest about our foundations before we gather speed.If you've been feeling a surge of ideas, quicker decisions, or a sense that life is about to move faster, you're not imagining it. The energy this year is bold and forward moving. But momentum without stability can feel unsettling, and for many of us that instability shows up around finances.This episode is about understanding money as energy, why avoidance creates more anxiety than awareness, and how to create calm around your finances so you feel steady enough to move forwards.Inside this episode, I'm talking about:Why the Year of the Horse brings action and faster opportunitiesThe connection between your home environment and your money mindsetHow chaos in your space can mirror anxiety around financesWhy financial awareness is a form of energetic self careThe difference between control and gentle supportHow fear about money can block flowSimple ways to clear money energy in your homeWhy intention around how you want to feel matters more than naming a figureHow clarity reduces nervous system stressWhy preparation creates confidence when decisions need to be madeThis is your reminder that looking at your finances is not about pressure or restriction. It is about steadiness. It is about knowing where you are so you can move with confidence when life speeds up.The Horse energy does not require perfection. It asks for readiness.

Here's a bold claim — and Nikki stands by it:If you give your body 15–30 strategic minutes a day, everything in your life improves. Your focus. Your income. Your relationships. Your energy. Your sanity.In this episode, Nikki breaks down why high-achieving women struggle to prioritize their bodies, how hustle culture quietly sabotages performance (especially in midlife), and why elite performers treat physical and mental health as non-negotiable inputs — not optional extras.This isn't about self-care clichés or doing less. It's about understanding that your brain cannot operate at a high level if your body is under-fueled, overstimulated, and constantly deprioritized. When your body has what it needs, you get more done in less time — and you stop living in a constant state of stress and burnout.If you've ever felt like taking care of yourself would cause everything else to fall apart, this episode will challenge that belief in the best way.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why prioritizing your body actually creates more time, not lessHow under-fueling impacts focus, decision-making, and productivityWhy high-achieving women default to putting themselves lastThe difference between working harder vs. working smarter with your healthWhy running on caffeine and stress tanks performanceHow boundaries and delegation improve leadership at work and at homeWhy taking care of your body isn't selfish — it's strategicNext Steps

I just need to get through this week.But energy isn't something you find. It's something you create.In this deeply personal episode, Chanie unpacks what it means to create energy on demand — not from caffeine or quiet, but from rhythm, breath, and emotional containment.

Send us a textThis is one of the most powerful stories of covenant love you'll ever hear.

Classical learning has deep roots in the United Kingdom. Yet many schools in England, Scotland, and Wales have drifted toward child-led, utilitarian models that leave students unformed and unmoored. At the same time, a quiet renewal is beginning to take shape.In this episode, British educator Jamie Burns, founder of the Fellowship for Classical Learning, joins host Davies Owens to share how he rediscovered classical Christian education, why he believes it is the answer to the UK's educational crisis, and how God is using a small group of families to start new schools in London and Cardiff.Jamie traces his own story, from an average state education to rich conversations around his family's dinner table, through years in mainstream schools, and finally to an “aha” moment listening to Andrew Kern that gave him language for what he had always felt. Along the way he offers a clear, inside look at the current state of education in England, Scotland, and Wales, and the surprising ways classical ideas are resurfacing in policy, practice, and school life.

If you've ever felt like returning to work after having a baby broke something in you or that the system simply isn't built for mothers, this episode is for you. Joeli Brearley, founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, joins me to talk about the truth so many of us live but rarely say out loud – how hard, lonely and overwhelming it can be to return to work after having a baby. Joeli started Pregnant Then Screwed from her kitchen table while bouncing her baby on her knee. What began as a blog for women to share their stories of discrimination became a decade-long campaign that changed government policy and the national conversation around motherhood and work But it came at a huge personal cost. Joeli shares honestly about the burnout, the pressure, and the toll of fighting for change while raising two young children. It's a powerful reminder that even the strongest women need rest, support and community. Now she's channelling everything she's learned into her new project, Growth Spurt — helping mothers navigate one of the most forgotten transitions of all: returning to work. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the return to work is one of the hardest and least supported parts of motherhood What good employers do differently to support parents truly How to protect your mental health and spot the signs of burnout early Simple ways to share the load more equally at homeWhy connection and community are the antidote to loneliness Joeli's story is both heartbreaking and full of hope. It's a conversation about what it really means to care for others, for the system, and for ourselves.

In this powerful episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with Dr. Dan Schneider, a frequent flier (no pun intended) combat veteran, theologian, and co-author of Spiritual Warfare and Q&A for the Priest and Laity to expose the real strategies of the enemy and the ancient weapons every man must wield to defend his home, his wife, and his children.You'll learn:How prayer, fasting, and vigils are the “ancient weapons” that defeat an ancient enemy.The true difference between power and authorityHow to protect your homeWhy humility and obedience are the most dangerous weapons against the devil.How Mary, the Queen of Heaven and the Destroyer of All Heresies, terrifies demons by her very presence.Dr. Dan's message is clear: you are the spiritual head of your household, and the enemy knows it. Stop acting like a passive observer while your family is under attack. Take up your weapons. Impose order. Fast. Pray. Consecrate your home. Engage the battle.The Challenge: This week, every Catholic man must bless his home, pray a perimeter prayer before bed, and consecrate his family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Order begins when the man takes his rightful place as protector and provider.References:Spiritual Warfare & Q&A for the Priest and Laity by Dr. Dan Schneider and Jesse RomeroLiber Christo Method  by Dr. Dan SchneiderTrue Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de MontfortTo Raise the Fallen by Fr.
