Timmere and Catholic parenting coach Catherine Johnson just hit it out of the park with this episode of Trending. If you’re a Catholic mom (or know one!) feeling like you’re barely holding it together, this conversation will feel like a giant, grace-filled exhale. You can listen to the entire episode here! "Catholic mom guilt" is that feeling of never doing enough, especially when we’re comparing ourselves to other moms. But here’s the thing: a lot of us don’t even realize we’re carrying this guilt until it’s quietly wrecking our peace. It’s sneaky. Like spiritual glitter. Compare & Despair: The Catholic Edition Ever see another mom totally crushing it and then suddenly find yourself spiraling into thoughts like: "I don’t pray enough." "My kids don’t know the St. Michael Prayer by heart!" "I forgot to make Zeppole for St. Joseph’s Day... again." You’re probably not called to 6am Angelus with toddlers if you’re 39 weeks pregnant and haven’t slept. And that’s okay. Guilt vs. Conviction: How to Tell the Difference Timmere and Catherine get into a super helpful distinction: Healthy guilt = the Holy Spirit nudging you toward holiness, like "you snapped at your kids, go apologize and confess." Toxic guilt = inner condemnation, "You’re the worst Catholic mom ever, how dare you skip that novena?" If your inner voice sounds more like a bully than Jesus, it’s not from God. When Mom Guilt Turns into Mom Condemnation Another nugget: If you catch yourself being a little judgy toward the moms who are “doing all the things” ... that might actually be your own mom guilt, just wearing a mask. Time to flip the script and get curious: What is it about that other mom’s life that’s triggering something in me? Is it something I admire but am not ready for? Or something that’s just... not my calling? Authenticity Over Perfection Timmere reminds us: your domestic church doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s.Take the things that inspire you and make them your own. Some moms wake up their kids with a bell and pray the Angelus. That’s beautiful. Others pray a morning Hail Mary while surviving the cereal chaos. Also, beautiful. And that “perfect mom” you see on social media? She’s struggling too. Promise. Timmere admitted to losing her patience recently; she apologized to her kids, and later her 4-year-old apologized back. Modeling mercy is one of the most powerful ways we can teach the faith. Let them see you mess up. Let them see you get back up. Practical Takeaways for Catholic Moms Catherine shares two golden nuggets: Learn how the Lord speaks to you: When you can tell His voice from the world’s noise, parenting becomes way more peaceful. Learn to receive mercy: God is gentler with you than you are. Let that sink in. And finally: instead of chasing someone else’s Catholic parenting blueprint, ask: “Lord, how do YOU want me to raise these little saints?” You're Not Called to Be Her. You're Called to Be YOU. This episode was a giant permission slip to drop the guilt, laugh a little, and lean into the grace. You're doing better than you think.

S2 E47 Tate Clough  In this episode, host Bob Cutler sits down with Tate Clough, the youngest guest to appear on Cocktails with Friends—a 21-year-old fashion design student, kitchen team member at Birdies, and aspiring model. Their conversation blends deep respect with light-hearted banter, exploring how Tate's calm, competent energy in the kitchen is matched by bold creativity in fashion. From cleaning up the back of house to sketching hundreds of designs for class, Tate brings thoughtfulness and ambition to every setting. Key Topics Fashion as Identity and Empowerment Tate views clothing as a way to show the world who he is—mixing confidence, creativity, and comfort into a personal expression that breaks from Maine's rural fashion norms. The Future of Sustainable Design From upcycled fabrics to locally sourced materials, Tate's vision for fashion includes eco-consciousness and community-driven aesthetics, inspired by real-world experience and classroom training. Modeling, Mentorship, and Maine Roots Despite modeling opportunities and big-city aspirations, Tate stays grounded through his work at Birdies and the mentorship of supportive family, professors, and now even Bob Cutler himself. Episode Index 1:04 – Tate reflects on joining the Birdies kitchen and how a smooth team dynamic makes the work flow. 4:00 – His Instagram handle (@Tate with 9 A's) reflects his personality and love for fashion. 6:21 – Tate explains how fashion became a personal expression and why "look good, feel good" is a daily mantra. 10:34 – He walks through the design process from sketching hundreds of looks to building a full line concept. 19:03 – Bob and Tate agree: no tie is sometimes the right tie, especially if you want to feel like yourself.

How do servant leaders in Lutheran schools model leadership for future church workers? The Rev. Mark Bushuiakovish, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Nashville, TN, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about his journey into pastoral ministry, how his faith was formed as a child and through Lutheran schools, the servant leaders who served as models through his years in Lutheran school, his experiences at seminary, and how his congregation forms and encourages both youth and adults to consider full-time church work. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

Send us a textSpacemen, I demand respect! Except, that's not really how that works. On today's episode, we talk about respect with your spouse and your kids. Turns out, a lot of us are getting it wrong. Spoiler alert, respect is pretty directly related to the connection you have with the other person. So, if you want respect, figure out how to connect with someone. Guess you don't need to listen to the episode now. But still do. It would be the respectful thing to do. Keywordsrespect, relationships, parenting, communication, acknowledgment, family dynamics, personal growth, emotional intelligence, teaching, disciplineTakeawaysRespect is often misunderstood in relationships.Acknowledgment of contributions is crucial for mutual respect.Modeling behavior is essential in teaching respect to children.Politeness and general courtesy have diminished in society.Discipline should not be about control but about teaching.Creating an environment of respect requires effort from all parties.Parents need to assess their own behavior to foster respect.Children learn respect through observation and experience.Communication is key in understanding different definitions of respect.Respect should be a two-way street in family dynamics.Sound Bites"Sock it to me!""You socked it to me?""I want to respect me."Chapters00:00Respect in Relationships and Parenting05:34Understanding Feminism and Gender Dynamics12:08Understanding Respect in Parenting13:41The Role of Acknowledgment in Family Dynamics16:24The Unseen Contributions of Parents18:01Teaching Respect and Responsibility20:24The Importance of Modeling Behavior26:46Creating an Environment of Mutual Respect32:29The Power of Example in Parenting37:04Navigating Control and Freedom in Parenting42:18Building Relationships Through Acknowledgment44:59The Balance of Love and LimitsSpread the word!

We’re wrapping up our series on how to have your best vacation ever. We’ve already covered the power of setting and sharing expectations, along with eight intentional steps to make your time away more meaningful. But what happens when tech distractions sneak in and start to steal those special moments? In this episode, we’re revisiting five practical tech tips to help you stay focused on what really matters during your vacation. A few thoughtful boundaries can go a long way toward keeping your attention—and your heart—right where it belongs. In this episode, John discusses: Setting clear boundaries for technology use Using digital tools without letting them take over Modeling intentional tech habits for others Capturing memories creatively without relying on phones Getting active to help minimize screen time Key Takeaways: Designate specific times and areas where phones and devices are off-limits—like meals, game time, or evenings. These tech-free zones help protect face-to-face connection and make space for deeper conversations. Schedule intentional moments for using phones—whether it’s snapping photos, checking in with friends, or finding local spots to explore—so tech use stays purposeful, not constant. Lead by example when it comes to phone habits. Others, especially kids, will often mirror what they see, so your own behavior can gently shape the group’s overall tech use. Bring along a digital or disposable camera to encourage creativity without defaulting to your phone. It adds fun to memory-making and invites everyone to see the trip from a different perspective. Plan active group moments that naturally draw attention away from screens—like a hike, a game, or a walk on the beach. Physical activity often creates space for presence, laughter, and lasting memories. “Stay prayerful, flexible, graceful, and kind. Even with preparations and expectations set and shared, and tech tips in place, and doing your best, a plan is still only a plan.”  Resources Mentioned: How Teens and Parents Approach Screen Time by Pew Research Center: https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2024/03/11/how-teens-and-parents-approach-screen-time/ CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Let's be honest, training can spark short-term results, but if you want long-term recruiting success, you need a team that lives in a growth mindset. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a learning culture that fuels consistency, creativity, and long-term momentum. This isn't about more courses or another playbook. It's about shaping a culture where people chase improvement, not because you make them, but because it's who they are. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most teams flatline after early wins—and how to fix it with a growth culture. [01:00] Step 1: Model It from the Top – If you're not growing, your team won't either. Share what you're learning and experimenting with. [02:00] Step 2: Build It Into the Rhythm – Weekly skill clinics, role plays, book clubs, and "teach-back" moments create learning momentum. [03:00] Step 3: Celebrate Growth Behaviors – Don't just recognize hires; reward script tweaks, learning reps, and initiative. [04:00] Step 4: Create Psychological Safety – Give your team permission to fail forward. Growth can't happen if fear dominates the room. [05:00] Step 5: Align Systems to Support Growth – Track and coach development behaviors, not just outputs. Reinforce the right things. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your culture. Ask: Are we learning? Sharing? Modeling? If not, start with one small rhythm and build from there. Key Takeaways You Set the Growth Ceiling – If you're not learning, neither is your team. Model curiosity, not just execution. Make Learning Normal – Growth won't scale if it's optional. Systematize it with intentional rhythms. Reward Process, Not Just Production – Celebrate the learner, not just the closer. Fail Forward, Together – Safe teams grow faster. Normalize iteration and experimentation. Track Growth Like You Track Results – If it matters, measure it. Progress becomes culture when it's visible. The strongest recruiting teams aren't the ones who have it all figured out—they're the ones who never stop improving. Build a culture where growth isn't just encouraged. It's expected. Want help designing a high-performance recruiting culture that lasts? Subscribe to my weekly email at 4crecruiting.com or book a coaching session at bookrichardnow.com. Let's grow your team from the inside out.

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, your hosts sit down with Desiré Mosser, a veteran instructional coach supporting over 125 virtual educators at Pasco eSchool and Vice President of BOLD (Blended Online Learning Discovery of Florida). A former brick-and-mortar science teacher turned online education leader, Desiré brings over two decades of hands-on virtual teaching experience, systems thinking, and heartfelt coaching into a conversation that dives deep into what it really takes to make virtual schools thrive—not just for students, but for teachers too.The episode explores how Desiré transitioned into virtual learning out of necessity, only to become a cornerstone of educator support in Florida's online education community. From dispelling myths about teacher isolation to building sustainable systems of care, Desiré shares stories, strategies, and moments of growth that challenge the notion that distance learning limits connection. Her experience reveals how personalized, human-centered leadership—and a dash of humor—can transform virtual teaching into a deeply rewarding career.Pain Point: Many educators—especially high-performing ones from traditional classrooms—struggle with the transition to virtual teaching. They face feelings of professional disorientation, burnout, and isolation, often exacerbated by the misconception that online teaching is less personal or impactful.Solution: Desiré combats these challenges with a highly personal, relationship-first approach to coaching and systems design. She builds trust from day one, treating teachers as whole people with lives beyond their screens. Her tools include visual boundaries for home life, proactive calendar management, and “kudos files” to keep morale high. Importantly, she systematizes this approach through a team of lead teachers who carry these same values into their smaller groups, making large-scale support both scalable and heartfelt.Action: Educators and school leaders can apply Desiré's strategies by:Building proactive onboarding that prioritizes relationship-building.Encouraging staff to design personal schedules that protect work-life balance.Modeling vulnerability and curiosity in coaching interactions.Instituting a “kudos file” system to celebrate small wins and sustain motivation.Training household members (yes, even toddlers) on virtual work boundaries.These simple but powerful actions help foster longevity, well-being, and excellence in the virtual teaching profession.

Advanced weapons and sensors are required to prevail in modern combat, but determining how these and the many other pieces integrate into the broader joint fight can become costly.Tom Wiley, Senior Director Integrated Solutions Modeling & Architecture at Raytheon, a business of RTX, joins us this week to discuss how Raytheon's Rapid Campaign Analysis and Demonstration Environment (RCADE) assists decision-makers in thinking beyond individual systems, enabling them to see the entire operational ecosystem.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Tomorrow's fight will be fast, complex, and contested. Victory won't come from a single platform, weapon, or payload—it will depend on how well everything works together. That's where modeling and simulation (M&S) matters.This week, Raytheon (an RTX company) joins us to discuss how they are leading the way with Rapid Campaign Analysis and Demonstration Environment (RCADE), a campaign-level M&S capability built to help decision-makers think beyond individual systems and enables them to see the entire operational ecosystem.

“In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few.”— Shunryu SuzukiWhy care about a behavior model?Because human behavior drives everything—goals, habits, change, progress.There've been countless theories, experts, and frameworks.Over a century of behavioral science.But never something complete, structured, falsifiable, and truly practical.UBM is the first UNIFIED model of human behavior— a map, model, and compass in one.Simple. Teachable. Built for literacy, not legacy.ShareFor over a century, behavioral science has been fragmented—divided by theories, disciplines, and contradictions.Siloed. Specialized. Locked away in labs and universities.UBM changes that.Developed over two decades—and built from the fringe—UBM has been validated through real-world application and accelerated by AI. Large language models have compared, contrasted, and stress-tested UBM against dozens of frameworks.The result?UBM transforms behavioral complexity into CLARITY—finally offering a self-evident, falsifiable, teachable, and practical model of human behavior—just in time.“It always seems impossible until it's done.”— Nelson MandelaThe Habits 2 Goals podcast is hitting pause for a short stretch.I'm stepping away to complete something that, by all “expert” logic, should not exist:The Unified Behavior Model™ (UBM).According to Google—and decades of academic consensus—this shouldn't be possible.Subscribe nowWhy isn't there a unified behavior model?Not just one theory here, or another framework there—but a truly, elemental model of behavior that encompasses the entire behavioral field.We have models for atoms.For ecosystems.For economies, solar systems—even gravity.But not for behavior?Not one that is falsifiable, teachable, testable, and comprehensive.Why?Because human behavior has long been treated as too complex, too contextual, or too philosophically slippery to model with rigor.So we settled for silos. Dozens of disciplines, each mapping fragments of the behavioral terrain—but never the whole.UBM has changed that.ShareUBM—the Unified Behavioral Model™—brings together complexity and clarity. It reflects the dynamic nature of human behavior, while offering the simplicity of a model that can be understood, taught, and applied.UBM won't tell you why Jill never called Johnny back.But it will help both Johnny and Jill understand the full behavioral field from which that decision emerged.This is what the white paper reveals:A behavioral model that doesn't decode every mystery of human behavior— but instead reveals the complete system in which those mysteries arise.Former efforts revealed remarkable behavioral insights.Yet none delivered a unified, practical, falsifiable model of behavior.UBM is behavioral literacy for the 21st century. It's the missing operating system for anyone who works with people—and it changes how we understand motivation, decision-making, and change itself.ShareSide note: Please consider how crazy I'd have to be to announce this—if it weren't scientifically grounded.Gravity-like in structure.Rooted in impenetrable truth.For the fifth time:UBM is structurally falsifiable.(At this point, I'm hopeful you're looking it up—just like I did, when I was first told UBM is precisely that.)It works.It's testable.Teachable.Trackable.And most importantly? Simple.“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”—Leonardo da VinciIn a chaotic, smartphone-saturated world—where children face rising rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm— even a basic understanding of behavior can be a game-changer.Elemental behavioral literacy for a disoriented age.No model or map offers guarantees.Yet we use maps every day—because they're useful.ShareTrue to its name, UBM draws from over 30 distinct scientific disciplines—from ecology to education, psychology to design, systems theory, neuroscience, and philosophy.The breakthrough wasn't in specializing further— but in synthesizing broadly.All truth passes through three stages:First, it is ridiculed.Second, it is violently opposed.Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.~ Arthur SchopenhauerDramatic, I know.Back soon(ish) with the final release.Until then—stay tuned.~mgSubscribe nowA respectful invitation to the academic community:If you're part of a university psychology department—or a related behavioral science discipline—we warmly invite you to review, challenge, and explore the Unified Behavior Model™.The following is a pre-release site for early access and distribution (currently in development): https://unifiedbehaviormodel.comKeep on trackin' ✅~mg

Send us a message!When moms and teens face life's big transitions together, emotions can run high—and communication often breaks down. Puberty and menopause create overlapping waves of change that can leave both feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or isolated. Without the right tools, these challenges risk driving a wedge between mothers and their kids, creating resentment, burnout, and emotional distance.But what if there was a way to navigate these turbulent times with compassion, clarity, and connection?In this episode, I'm joined by Kianna Carter, LICSW, a community mental health expert who works closely with adolescents and women across generations.

Is the label "biblical" helping or hurting how we approach faith, church, and cultural challenges? In this thought-provoking episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim explore the pitfalls of using "biblical" as a rigid brand, how it impacts theology, and its effects on navigating issues like justice, community, and interpretation of Scripture. They discuss the importance of reading the Bible in community, embracing humility, and fostering critical thinking to form faithful and wise communities. Drawing on listener feedback, they tackle how Scripture has been used both to liberate and to harm and ask what it means to embody a cruciform way of living. The conversation dives into the role of the church in society, the balance between individual and communal faith practices, and the dangers of reducing the Bible to oversimplified categories. With humor, deep insight, and a commitment to justice and Jesus' teachings, this episode invites you to rethink how we engage with Scripture and one another. #bible #selfimprovement #foundationforintentionalcommunity #biblestudy #importanceofchristiancommunity #bible #solascriptura #livingbythebook #eisegesisvs.exegesis #biblestudy Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Week Recap 02:51 Modeling for a Glamping Resort 06:05 Podcast Updates and Listener Feedback 09:07 Discussion on Bible Accessibility and Interpretation 11:57 The Role of Community in Bible Reading 18:09 Intent Behind Bible Study 21:05 Unity and Diversity in the Bible 26:00 The Purpose of the Bible in Community 30:09 Critique of Biblical Branding 34:02 Closing Thoughts on Wisdom and Learning 35:25 The Limitations of Biblical Prepackaging 38:51 The Harm of Misusing Biblical Concepts 44:52 Understanding the Bible as a Cross-Cultural Experience 51:59 The Three Elements of Biblical Interpretation 59:52 The Importance of Context in Biblical Texts 01:06:01 The Dark History of Biblical Misinterpretation 01:09:55 Navigating Modern Misinformation and Biblical Understanding As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

There's no doubt about it—we are raising our children in a culture that no longer values what is holy. The voices surrounding them are loud, persuasive, and relentless. But God hasn't called us to panic—He's called us to prepare. Our children were born for such a time as this, and we've been entrusted with their training for the days they are living in.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." — Romans 12:2The enemy is working overtime to shape the minds of this generation—through media, education, social pressures, and ideologies that stand in direct opposition to truth. But while the world is discipling our children with confusion, God is calling us to disciple them with clarity.This isn't about fear—it's about foundation. As parents, we must be intentional about what our children hear, see, and believe. That means:* Speaking Scripture over their identity before the world assigns them one.* Guarding their hearts without suffocating their growth.* Modeling what it means to live set apart—because they won't rise above what they observe in us.Your home is a spiritual training ground. Every mealtime, every car ride, every bedtime conversation is an opportunity to plant seeds of truth and courage. You are not just raising sons and daughters—you are raising kingdom warriors.And here's the truth: your kids don't need a perfect parent. They need a present one—one who listens to God's voice and leads from that place of confidence.Question of the Day:What small, consistent step can you take this week to help your child think biblically in a worldly culture?Mini Call to Action:Identify one area of influence in your child's life—media, friends, school—and pray over it intentionally this week. Ask the Lord for wisdom and boldness to lead.Let's Pray:Father, give us eyes to see and ears to hear what You are saying over our children. Strengthen us to raise them with boldness, love, and unwavering truth. Teach us to stand firm—not in fear—but in faith. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The world may be loud—but the voice of God in your home can be louder.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

In this deeply vulnerable episode, model and mama Adrianna Bach opens up about her powerful journey through severe postpartum depression and anxiety after the birth of her first child.

Ever feel like your words just aren't landing?

Background - The role of Grandparents has changed over the years. It used to be a clear separation between their generation, their kids, and the grandkids.How did the roles get mixed up? There are many possible answers to this but here are some of the more common reasons that we see in our office. Parents are not present or available so the grandparents have no choice but to step in and raise the child.Parents need more than a little help in raising their children. Many families have both parents working and they still require child-care.  Grandparents are often a cheaper and convenient solution to this need.Parents lack confidence and understanding of their parenting role and are quick to hand it over to a trusted family member. Confusion in the roles leads to problems.  Every parent comes with a different personality and style of parenting.  Unity among the authorities can be broken.  Kids look for the easiest way to satisfy their desires. Advice - Emphasize the importance of a well-connected and healthy family structure in which all generations are present and in their proper role. Avoid placing people into roles that do not allow them to be where they are in life.  Just like we don't ask the child to be an adult, we don't ask grandparents to be regular parents. Honor all three generations in your family. Celebrate the child, the parent, and the grandparent.  Especially teach this to your children. Establish authority levels in the life of the child.  One of the tenets of a Christian life is to learn proper and appropriate submission. Modeling this in the family is their first opportunity of what it looks like to submit to God's authority. As the parents, you establish the Ways of your house.  You hope that anyone connected to your family will honor those ways, but at the end of the day, you are the one responsible for your family. Here are some key biblical themes and verses that apply to honoring grandparents:1. Honoring Parents (which extends to grandparents): The Fifth Commandment is the most direct instruction:Exodus 20:12: "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." This commandment lays the groundwork for respecting those who raised you, and by extension, those who raised your parents.Proverbs 23:22: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old." This emphasizes continued respect and care as parents (and grandparents) age.2. Respect for the Elderly: The Bible consistently calls for reverence towards older individuals due to their wisdom and experience.Leviticus 19:32: "You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord." This verse directly commands respect for the aged. "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness" Challenge -  Reflect on how your family dynamics are currently operating. Discern whether or not it is healthy and what you want for your family.  https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity
