In this episode of "The Soul Spot" podcast, Jen and Nadia explore the changing dynamics of love and relationships among Millennials and Gen Z, focusing on the evolving energies of masculinity and femininity. They discuss the decline in marriage rates and how traditional gender roles, such as men as providers and women as caretakers, are being challenged.

Send us a Text Message.In the West, we tend to see success for late teens as passing exams, getting into further education or getting a job, and moving on with life. So when we received an email from a mother, concerned for the welfare of her two step-sons who've performed poorly in their final high school exams, and who don't seem to be interested in finding work, we thought it would be a really interesting topic to unpack.  Her step-sons aren't alone. There is growing concern about the relative underachivement of boys in education across the Western hemisphere, and the term 'failure to launch' was even referred to as a syndrome in a recent article in The British Journal of General Practice. We discuss coping with our own expectations and feelings of fear about our children's suceess, managing a complicated situation as a step-parent, and the structural issues affecting boys in today's society.  BOOKS REFERENCED: Boys Adrift, Leonard Sax explores the alarming trend of boys falling behind in education and life. Of Boys and Men: Richard Reeves.

This week on Family Policy Matters, host Traci DeVette Griggs welcomes Dr. Leonard Sax, a practicing physician and a New York Times bestselling author, to discuss how social media is impacting kids and how parents can mitigate its effects. 

Everyone has opinions on the best parenting style, but what does the research actually say? According to Dr. Leonard Sax, modern issues like a culture of disrespect and the over-prescription of medication have led to a generation of children who are less resilient, more anxious, and struggling academically.-In this episode, Dr. Sax shares insights from his best-selling books, The Collapse of Parenting, Girls on Edge, Boys Adrift and Why Gender Matters. We explore the breakdown of the alliance between schools and families, the growing lack of respect for adults, the rise in childhood obesity and medication use, and the impact of these trends both in school and at home.-Dr. Sax outlines solutions for parents to reclaim their authority and create a nurturing yet disciplined environment. Tune in to learn how to combat the negative influences of pop culture, strengthen your relationship with your children, and help them thrive! Connect with Dr. Leonard Sax:WebsiteConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: info@trumancharities.comThis episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/

The Importance of Fathers: A Conversation with Tim Rarick In this episode of Currents, hosts Dana and Shannon engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Tim Rarick,a professor at BYU Idaho specializing in marriage, family, and human development.    The conversation centers around the critical role of fathers in both parenting and society.  Tim discusses his experiences speaking at the United Nations on the importance of fatherhood,  addressing how societal and media influences often downplay the value of fathers.  He emphasizes that his primary identity is as a father and husband, despite his academic credentials.    The episode explores how fathers can combat toxic masculinity, contribute uniquely to their children's development,and strengthen family dynamics. Practical advice for fathers, whether married or estranged from their children's mothers,is also provided, along with insights on how to build interdependent relationships between men and women.  The discussion reveals that strengthening familial relationships is foundational to positively impacting society. “I just found that the better husband I am, I naturally become a better father, and if I'm doing well at those, and it's not just time allotment, it has more to do with focus and where my heart is.” Tim Rarick “I think if we recognize that role first, you as a father, me as a mother, then it does influence everything that we do, every decision we make and where we're going with our lives.” - Dana Robb “It's been said by Uri Bronfenbrenner, ‘The family is the most humane, the most economical, and by far the most powerful system known for building competence and character.' He said that in the mid 80s after researching this quite a bit… but I wonder what he would say now. I still believe that statement is true, that the family has that potential. Sadly, what we're seeing…is with the rise of screen media, we have now a competitor with parents.” - Tim Rarick “Research shows that fatherless boys have a greater tendency to become toxic males than boys who have involved fathers.” - Tim Rarick “It's the whole idea that power equates worth, and you'll get power any way you can get it, that's toxic masculinity. And fathers who are involved and loving are one of the best antidotes to that.” - Tim Rarick “Fatherless girls are more susceptible to believing that all men are toxic or allowing toxic men to use them.” - Tim Rarick “The family is never stronger than the marriage.” - Tim Rarick “What can I do to be intentional about my marriage rather than just being on autopilot? Because that will make you a much better father.” - Tim Rarick “Sure, have a big goal, but break it down to something bite sized and what's the next good thing that you can do, and make sure you're doing it with the right heart because if you're not, you're going to run into obstacles and you may quit early.” - Tim Rarick “I am hopeful that any person can change and anybody can improve their relationships.” - Tim Rarick “Changing the world begins with changing the home.” - Dana Robb “No matter where you're at, what you've experienced, we all can decide what we're going to do moving forward as husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, or sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, we're all a member of somebody's family, and we decide what we can do moving forward, if we get the right influences and we get the right information. Everyone can change, and there's always a brighter future ahead.” - Tim Rarick Tim Rarick is a husband and father first and foremost. He is also a professor at BYU-Idaho, a public speaker, writer, family advocate, and a Latter-Day Saint.

Hour 1 of The Drew Mariani Show on 5-23-24 Drew takes us through a number of headlines in today's News Roundup Brian Cavanaugh helps us understand what's at stake with reports that there is an increase of attempted cyberattacks on American water plants Dr. Leonard Sax takes a hard look at children being diagnosed with autism and ADHD at higher levels than ever in history – is it really an increase of the syndromes? Or a change in how we diagnose? Or both?

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalHeather and Karina are both parents, and their age gap has provided them sufficient life experience to see the glowing gap in care provided to new mothers in our society. Meeting this need is unlikely to come through allopathic medicine and its myriad of resources because they argue - as do I - that a holistic approach is required. After working for years with women utilizing skills they have picked up in the life and health coaching industry, they then turned their attention to writing a book, “The Way Holistic”, to help new moms (and dads) work with their own stories to become better parents and raise charismatic, healthy kiddos.

Dr. Sax and I brainstorm inventive ways to transform mundane tasks into moments of joy – think 'power hour' of chores with a musical twist! Meanwhile, we navigate the delicate balance of our digital lives, advocating for device-free zones to promote reflection and self-discovery, which are essential for our children's spiritual and personal growth. (no screens in bedrooms!)As we wrap up this landmark episode, we confront the evolving nature of family life as children venture into their teenage years.

In his sixth appearance on the podcast, Dr. Leonard Sax takes on what it means for parents to be the first and most important educators of their children. “Kids are not born knowing what's right and what's wrong,” attests Dr. Sax. Accordingly, parents serve the foundational role in the life of their sons and daughters of teaching them how to live well, that is, how to live virtuously. As always, Dr. Sax offers insights that will embolden parents of adolescents and younger children alike to embrace the primacy of their God-given role as their kids' most necessary and respected role models, while suggesting practical tips for shaping the minds and hearts of their sons and daughters with confidence.

Are your kids or grandkids addicted to their screens? You may be concerned for their well-being!   Drew visits with Dr. Leonard Sax as they explore the pervasive impact of smartphones and social media on children and teens. The discussion is ignited by the insights from Jonathan Haidt's book, The Anxious Generation, which paints a grim picture of how modern tools are not just gadgets anymore but are reshaping the very fabric of childhood, seeding an epidemic of mental health issues. It's very scary.   Drew gives alarming statistics that reveal a stark increase in depression, especially among girls, and a significant rise in emergency room visits due to self-harm and suicide rates since smartphones became ubiquitous in 2010. The digital age, rather than being a place of connectivity, has morphed into a catalyst for isolation and mental health decline. The evidence is heartbreaking and needs to be taken seriously.    Key Takeaways from Dr. Sax:   Digital Detox: Dr. Sax advocates for delayed introduction of smartphones (not before ninth grade), bans phones in schools, and postpones social media exposure until age 16.   Outdoor Play vs. Screen Stay: Sometimes parents might understandably think that outdoor play is more dangerous for their kids, but Dr. Sax couldn't disagree more. He recommends that children spend more time outside and less time on screens indoors.    Parenting in the Digital Age: Dr. Sax also touches on the role of parents in navigating this complex landscape. He suggests using parental monitoring apps and engaging in real-world interactions with children as opposed to digital pacification.   Educational Insights: A caller from Indiana, a middle school teacher, supports the idea of restricting smartphone use in schools.    Catholic Perspective: Dr. Sax presents the unique position of Catholic schools in addressing these issues, where they can integrate teachings from Scripture and Church doctrine to foster healthier lifestyles and moral grounding among students.   It's a crucial wake-up call to the dangers lurking behind screens, urging parents, educators, and communities to reclaim the helm of childhood development from digital overlords. You can yourself with the knowledge to safeguard the mental health and well-being of the next generation!

In this episode, I delve into the raw and revealing journey of Austin Unbridled, a 41-year-old who has navigated the turbulent waters of gender identity and spirituality. Austin's candid recount of transitioning from male to female, and then detransitioning twice, sheds light on the complexities of trans ideology and the often unspoken struggles that accompany it. We explore the allure of transformation, the promises of gender-affirming care, and the harsh realities that followed.Austin's story is one of vulnerability, from the influence of older trans individuals and the seductive narratives of the trans community, to the entanglement with sex work and the pursuit of surgeries in hopes of finding peace. His return to a Christian faith offers a contrasting perspective to his past experiences.What drove Austin to believe that changing his gender would solve his inner turmoil? How did his spiritual upbringing clash with his gender exploration? And what led to his profound realization that the path he was on wasn't leading to the fulfillment he sought? Join us as we unpack these questions and more, offering a glimpse into the life of someone who's lived on the front lines of a deeply personal and societal debate. Tune in to hear Austin's transformative tale and the lessons he's learned about identity, faith, and the human desire for authenticity.Austin, 41, is a former male-to-female identified individual and a two-time detransitioner who has grappled with spiritual and gender identity throughout his life. Nestled in an off-grid DIY compound in Arizona's desert, Austin passionately seeks truth, enjoys journaling, and finds solace in nature and with good friends and a loyal canine companion. Documenting his detransition journey and return to faith on TikTok, Austin intertwines personal growth, reflecting on his experience between transitions with a dedication to sharing the Love and teachings of Jesus Christ. Eager to enroll in ministry school next year, and driven by a deep belief that no child is “born in the wrong body,” Austin's prodigal journey home encompasses faith, self-discovery, and at times a cautionary tale.Follow Austin on TikTok @austin.unbridled and on YouTube @austinunbridledContribute to his GoFundMe to remove his breast implantsBooks mentioned in this episode:"Invisible Monsters" by Chuck PalahniukPrevious episodes mentioned:84.

Psychiatrist Mark McDonald coined the term "mass delusional psychosis" to describe the fear-driven response that swept the nation during the pandemic. In this episode, I interviewed him about the events of 2020 and their impact on our society. We discuss how fear became a fuel, driving irrational and self-destructive behaviors that were not in our best interests.Dr. McDonald highlights the shift in our society towards a culture that values safety over courage, risk-taking, and personal freedom. He points out the detrimental effects of this safety culture, such as the decline in IQ points among infants born during the lockdowns and the decrease in face-to-face interactions among young people. He also raises concerns about the erosion of masculinity and the impact it has on relationships and society as a whole.The conversation delves into the importance of teaching virtue and morality, as well as the need to reaffirm the qualities of healthy masculinity. Dr. McDonald emphasizes the role of individuals in shaping the future and the need to save the younger generation from the damaging ideologies and behaviors that have taken hold. He warns that if we don't address these issues, we risk the extinction of our civilization.The episode touches on the impact of the lockdowns on brain chemistry, particularly in terms of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. Dr. McDonald discusses the observed changes in behavior, such as acute onset OCD-like symptoms and the reliance on non-face-to-face interactions for dating. He expresses concern about the increasing demand for drugs to alleviate depression, anxiety, and fear, and the long-lasting consequences of these changes in brain chemistry.Dr. Mark McDonald graduated from UC Berkeley and the Medical College of Wisconsin. Trained in adult as well as child and adolescent psychiatry at UCLA, he now works primarily with children in his west Los Angeles private practice.

Testosterone levels have plummeted and video game and porn addictions are rising. Meanwhile, boys are struggling in schools academically vs girls. Why is this? How do we change this? As boys are bombarded with many factors leading to the suppression of their transition into manhood, I talk with Dr. Leonard Sax, PhD, who, in his book Boys Adrift, identifies 5 major factors that contribute to this “growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and underachieving young men.” We also explore the practical ways we can solve the crisis facing boys.Check out Dr. Sax's work: https://www.leonardsax.com Check out today's Sponsors: Hallow: https://www.hallow.com/lila Start your prayer habit off right, get 3 months free by using this link to sign up! Nimi Skincare: Check out my favorite skin care brand and get 15% off using the code LILA. https://www.nimiskincare.com/discount/LILAredirect=%2Fcollections%2Fall-products Seven Weeks Coffee: https://www.sevenweekscoffee.com Buy your pro-life coffee with a 10% discount using the code LILA!
