In this episode, I talk about how setting your environment up and knowing the expectations/intention sets your child up for success. We dive into how for young children a skill may feel brand new to them until they have mastered it. Including cleaning up or getting dressed, etc.. They may have cleaned up a handful of times in the living room, but now you are asking them to clean up in their bedroom or you have changed the set up of where toys go in the living room, so it feels like you are starting from square one, but you can control some of how it goes by how you set up the environment, including what the expectations are and how they are adapted for your child's growth and development.

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Bridget Therese Romo's journey— a powerful testament to resilience, transformation, and purpose. After enduring the heartbreak of losing a child, she turned to fitness as a way to rebuild her strength both mentally and physically. This healing process sparked a deeper drive that led her to enter fitness competitions, where she discovered a passion for discipline, goal-setting, and personal growth. These qualities laid the foundation for her next chapter: entrepreneurship. Relocating to Houston after a divorce and facing an unexpected layoff, Therese seized the moment to start a social media management business. What began as a small effort quickly grew into an international operation with 17 clients, thanks to her authenticity, digital strategy savvy, and relentless work ethic. She's also expanded into fitness coaching for pageant contestants, writing a curriculum for Miss Academy, and publishing a book, Strong Mind, Strong Body, all of which reflect her mission to empower young women through health, confidence, and self-awareness. Bridget's story is more than inspiring—it's actionable. Her life illustrates that even the most painful moments can be turned into stepping stones for lasting impact. Whether you're navigating loss, considering entrepreneurship, or seeking to empower others, let her journey be your spark.

Building a God-centered family requires intentionally leading children from parental dependence to complete dependence on God. Parents must demonstrate wholehearted love for God through consistent actions, making worship and faith a non-negotiable priority. Creating a spiritual environment involves regular devotions, natural faith discussions, and decisions based on godly convictions rather than convenience. The ultimate goal is helping children develop a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ that will guide them throughout their lives.

The Easter holiday is behind us, but the resurrection of Jesus is not something we are meant to "move on" from. In this episode we cast some vision and share a few practical ideas for how to be intentional in keeping your family focused on, and rooted in the resurrection of Jesus. Hey Everyone!

In today's episode of Redefine Parenting, I'm diving deep into a game-changing question every parent needs to ask: Where are you putting your focus with your kids? Are you focusing on what they're doing wrong… or what they're doing right? Are you guiding them with intention—or reacting in the moment? The truth is, where we put our focus determines the emotional climate in our home, and ultimately, the confidence and connection our kids carry with them. In this episode, we'll talk about: The difference between corrective parenting and intentional parenting How shifting your focus can build your child's emotional intelligence and self-esteem Why your child's behavior is often a mirror—and what to do with that reflection Simple mindset shifts to create more connection, cooperation, and calm in your home If you're ready to stop surviving and start thriving as a parent, this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need to truly show up with purpose.

Intentional parenting isn't accidental.

Keith and Chad discuss Psalm 127:1-5 and Proverbs 22:6 and how families can practically and intentionally raise up their kids on the foundation of Scripture."Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. Behold children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate." - Psalm 127:1-5 NASB95"Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 NASB95

This week's episode is one that every parent can relate to. I'm joined by Monica Swanson to talk about a struggle many of us face—raising kids who aren't entitled in a world that often is.  Here are a few takeaways from today's conversation:As parents, we need to be intentional about combating entitlement in our homes.  Teaching kids responsibility and real-life opportunities to work hard builds character.  Helping our kids develop a heart of gratitude is one of the best ways to fight entitlement.  Parenting is a learning process, and it's okay to wrestle with these challenges while seeking wisdom and growth.  Monica Swanson is an author, speaker, and host of The Monica Swanson Podcast (formerly The Boy Mom Podcast). As a mom of four boys, she shares practical wisdom on raising kids with strong character, work ethic, and faith in today's world.  This conversation is just two friends trying to figure it out together, and we're so glad you're stepping into it with us. I hope you leave feeling encouraged and equipped to guide your kids toward gratitude, responsibility, and strong character.

Prioritizing isn't one of my gifts. I've got great energy, I'm adaptable, and I can do a great job being present. Being prepared is another thing. While I'd love to justify my lack of planning on account of my spiritual superiority (I'm clearly a Mary, not a Martha), I have to acknowledge that we are called to count the cost of following Jesus. That's not possible when I have no idea what is at stake. It's easy to get busy, do good things, and miss making the most of the moments we are given. Yes, this applies to technology, but I'm mainly concerned with our day-to-day—those 16-18 waking hours each of us are gifted.Today we'll discuss how to be intentional with our days, and some simple ways we can submit our busy calendars and hearts to our loving heavenly Father.(originally recorded May 21, 2024: Episode 226).Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3ZYOlqu

Dawn opens up about the trials and triumphs of adapting her parenting style to nurture the distinctive hearts of each of her children. She underscores the importance of granting ourselves grace as parents, reminding us that flexibility and understanding are key to thriving in the ever-evolving landscape of family life.“Intentional parenting is the never ending process of pursuing the hearts of my children.”As we wrap up, we delve into the transformative power of building deeper relationships through personal influence rather than authority. Inspired by Matthew Kelly's "The Seven Levels of Intimacy," Dawn shares how vulnerability and intentional effort can nurture authentic bonds within the family.

Healing isn't a quick fix. It's a journey, and it can feel so isolating and overwhelming - especially when you're trying to help your child heal. I know because I've been there, working through the endless nights of searching and hoping, visiting and investing in every kind of healthcare professional only to be faced with more questions than answers. When my son was struggling, I found myself in a place of such deep need, not only for practical guidance but for validation and reassurance - reassurance that he could heal, that his body was capable of restoring balance and that every twist and turn along the way was normal. But I didn't have that. I didn't have anyone to hold me, to help me believe that healing was possible, and to guide me with wisdom I could trust. That's why I created my course and why I now gift you free access with every Rebalance Kit.
