"We need to focus on who we are." The secret to raising resilient children starts with the parent stepping away to find their own calm in the chaos.In this episode of the Real Things Living Podcast, Brigitte Cutshall explores the essentials of Parental Resilience with psychologist and author Dr. Kate Lund. Dr. Lund introduces her "Step Away" book, which focuses on the psychology of parenting and why resilient parenting requires us to prioritize our own well-being first.They dive into the comparison trap of social media, the importance of mindfulness for parents, and practical strategies for overcoming parental stress. By shifting from a "crisis mode" to a "resilient lifestyle," moms and dads can find better work-life balance for families and improve overall mental health for moms and dads.3 Key Takeaways(1) Manage the Baseline: Resilience isn't just for emergencies; it's a daily practice. Using tools like the "relaxation response" helps parents start their day at a lower stress level so they can ride life's challenges like a wave.(2) The "Step Away" Philosophy: Stepping away isn't about checked-out parenting; it's about putting on your own oxygen mask first. By prioritizing self-awareness and personal joy, parents can "step back in" more robustly for their families.(3) Context Over Comparison: High stress often stems from comparing our "messy" reality to curated digital lives. True resilience comes from optimizing within your own unique context and focusing on authentic human connection.To find more of Dr. Kate Lund's resources and pick up a copy of her new book, Step Away, visit her website at https://KateLundSpeaks.com Connect with her on: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-lund/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr_kate_lund/

Morning Mantra: "I'd rather live my life in acceptance of it not being perfect, than live it pretending it is."No one has a perfect life.  Even if they pretend to on social media.  That's why Facebook is sometimes referred to as "Fakebook." Rarely does someone put the tough things out there.  We tend to hide them from the world.Learning to accept that some things in life won't get better is not giving up, it's not being negative.  Because it might not get better, but you will. You will get stronger. You'll be more appreciative of what is good in your life.  And as you do you become more authentic in living.All you can do is fix what you can, and adapt to what you can't. You learn to live with your situations as messy and ugly as they might be.  You understand that life is perfectly unperfect. But it is amazing and beautiful too.To do the best you can with what life handed you is worth celebrating too.#BeOkWithMessy #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don't ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.  Apparently, Reagan was *obsessed* with jelly beans. I guess he started eating them as a way to quit smoking. He swapped cigarettes for jelly beans. Inspired.  But once he was hooked, he never looked back. There were jelly beans on Air Force One. Jelly beans in the Oval Office. Jelly beans sent to space with astronauts, I am not joking.  At this point I stumbled onto a quote about his wife, Nancy Reagan, and let me just say...America may have called her the First Lady, but Hollywood had a slightly different title for her. If you know, you know. So today, I've got quite a story for you. Blow jobs, secret weapon deals, astrology, and a very intense power couple.  This man ignored a literal pandemic, while letting his wife schedule national security briefings based on his horoscope. So join me for the Dark History of Ronald Reagan. Let's get into it. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Sometimes the messiness of life can cause us to question whether our time will ever come—but God is never late. In this episode, Pastor James D. Gailliard reminds us that Preparation Precedes Promotion and that God often does His deepest forming in hidden places. As we journey through the anointing of David, we uncover the power of perspective, the danger of flawed filters, and the necessity of faithful service even when no one is watching.Whether you're in a season of waiting or standing on the edge of breakthrough, this word will challenge you to live with intention, character, and spiritual vision. God's appointments are never accidental—your present obedience is paving the way for future assignments.

Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast. In today's playful and heart-opening solo episode, Candace is here with a loving reminder: life is meant to be lived, not perfectly managed.From grass stains to Christmas wrapping explosions, this episode celebrates the joy found in letting things get a little messy. Whether it's your kids jumping in puddles or you getting jam in your shirt while in the kitchen, some of the sweetest memories come when we stop aiming for spotless and start saying yes to fun.Inside this episode:

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Life is messy because life is about relationships and relationships are messy! Yet, life is better when shared with the ones you love. And as Christ followers, we are called to be messengers of reconciliation. So, it’s important that we learn to repair our relationships. Justin Whitmel Earley is a lawyer, speaker and author. He joins us to talk about his newest book The Big Mess - a heartwarming and relatable story about two siblings who must learn to get along. Justin and Shawna talk about the connection between our physical and spiritual lives and the role that plays in reconciling our relationships. Justin reminds us that the people in our households are not a problem to be solved but a person to be loved.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes life is messy. It can be tempting to bypass these uncomfortable moments when you're trying to follow a spiritual path. But living a spiritual life doesn't mean ignoring your true feelings during times of struggle, if anything, spirituality encourages us to be even more honest about how we're showing up from moment to moment. As the world continues to become more uncertain, we must find trust and support in our communities. Solitary practices are powerful, but it's time to embrace the coven! Gathering in community for mundane and magical moments helps us to stay connected to our humanity and our spirituality. As we listen to the birds sing on this cloudy day, let's get curious about growing the communities in our lives. What am I reading?The Spoon Stealer by Lesley CreweBeyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose by Martha BeckWhat's playing on repeat?We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy JoelWhat's for dinner?Brussels Sprouts Meatball PastaIngredients:1 lb penne pastaBrussels sprouts Precooked chicken or vegan meatballs, I used a garlic Parmesan varietySun dried tomatoes in oilDiced garlicOlive oilSalt and pepperParmesan cheeseInstructions:Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Welcome back to another episode of First Round's On Me, a First Round's On Media Production. Today, we're beyond excited to welcome a powerhouse in both real estate and personal growth—the incredible Bianca D'Alessio! Today, we'll be diving into everything from her journey to the top of the real estate world to how intentionality can shape not just your career, but also your dating and personal life. Bianca will share her insights on navigating high-pressure industries, her thoughts on first dates and making great impressions, and even how her expertise in real estate has unexpectedly influenced her approach to love and relationships. And of course, no episode would be complete without a few fun games! We've got “Love It or List It: Date Edition” and some dating rapid-fire questions that'll test her quick wit and dating philosophies.

Good News for a Messy Life

Today we sit down with our own Communications Coordinator, Adrienne Gregurich. Growing up, she watched (and helped) her mom care for their neighbors, simply by meeting needs - big or small. These experiences taught her invaluable lessons about what it truly means to be a neighbor and how love is best expressed through actions. These simple yet powerful gestures redefined her view of community and taught her how loving others can be a beautiful, everyday act of grace and kindness.

We're all trying to make motherhood easier - by researching tips, tricks and hacks on the internet and looking for systems someone else has created that are guaranteed to transform our lives from messy to mastered. But the thing is, we already know everything we need to know; there's just one thing we don't want to DO…and that's to feel the feelings that are bound to come up when we start to approach trying to make a change in our lives at home. In today's episode, we explore why we would WANT to feel those feelings and the benefits of being in the discomfort of doing so - so that we can truly accept where we are now AND move forward with the changes we want to make.
