Sign up for the Faith & Family Workshop HERE!Today I want to talk about a 2nd way you can find joy in motherhood and that is in embracing a shift in your parenting style that will change the way you feel about parenting.When I get on a coaching call with almost every client who is a young mom, their biggest question usually comes down to, “What consequence can I give so that they stop this behavior?”And while I do think there's a place for consequences – natural consequences that result from undesirable behavior – I think that a better way to parent is see your role as teacher and leader of your children rather than a punisher or simply managing behavior.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Motherhood can humble your nervous system fast, especially when sleep is unpredictable and everyone has an opinion. Lindsey Simcik (Almost 30) opens up about what it looks like to trust your instincts as a mom, even when you're tired, unsure, or doing things differently than the moms around you.

Certified breathwork facilitator and founder of The Self-Care Suite Tara Pringle Jefferson joins us to reframe self-care beyond consumerism. Drawing from her new book Bloom How You Must: A Black Woman's Guide to Self-Care and Generational Healing, Tara unpacks the “strong Black woman” narrative, shares what was happening in her life when her doctor literally prescribed rest as medicine, and points out practical ways to build support, not just stamina. We get into social and professional wellness (hello, sabbaticals), the power of “third places,” why it's important to indulge creative rituals that aren't rooted in perfectionism, and the intergenerational wisdom she gathered from talking to 100 Black women ages 19–99.

Send us a textNew year, new courage. We're stepping across the threshold with two clarifying questions—what is mine to hold and what is mine to let go—and using them to untangle people-pleasing, set clearer boundaries, and build a steadier inner life. A surprising health scare pressed pause and brought sharp focus to the survival patterns that once kept me safe, especially fawning: the reflex to merge, appease, and smooth over to protect connection.I share how I discovered fawning, what it looks like in everyday moments at work, home, and church, and why it's not manipulation but a nervous system strategy. We unpack detachment as compassionate clarity, not distance, and explore how small practices—breath, body awareness, short honest statements—help us move from automatic yes to thoughtful choice. You'll hear how trauma and memory shape quick reactions in the amygdala, and how unfawning invites a slow rewiring toward psychological flexibility, agency, and peace.Listen to E67, AutonomyListen to E149, Reimagining Our Personal Sense of AgencyRead more from Dr. Ingrid Clayton: FawningSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Karen and Emily are kicking off the year with a three-part series about parenting principles we can learn from the book of Proverbs. Today, Karen addresses the confusion many moms today feel around discipline, authority, and the pressure to “get it right.” Drawing from Solomon's teaching, she reminds us that children need leadership, clear boundaries, and parents who are willing to direct them with confidence rather than fear. We hope this conversation encourages you to trust God for wisdom no matter what you are facing this week!Episode Recap:Wire Talk is celebrating 500 episodes next weekSubscribe to our YT podcast so you don't miss the giveawayGentle parenting does not workStop Googling and start getting into the Word of GodWe are bombarding ourselves with information overloadMoms are afraid of messing up and uncertain of what to doWhat are the 3 stages of discipline? How do I discipline without introducing shame? Children are so resilient, we do not give them enough creditTrust that God will give us wisdom exactly when we need itScripture: Proverbs 1:1-5 (ESV) – “The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance…”Discussion Questions: What messages about parenting have influenced you the most in recent years—culture, social media, your upbringing, or Scripture?“More information is not always good information.” Where have you felt overwhelmed or anxious because of too much advice?Why do you think the word authority has become uncomfortable in parenting conversations?How does Proverbs reframe discipline as protection and love rather than punishment?What is one area of parenting where you need to ask God for wisdom instead of trying to figure it out on your own?Resources:Check out our BRAND NEW Bible study: How To Teach Your Kids the BibleListen to our series on the 3 stages of discipline: 154, 155, 156Grab Karen's devotional book: Moments with God for Moms 

Ep568. Welcome back, Mom Roomers! This week, Renee sits down with Pam Stepnick, mother of Logan and Jake Paul, to talk candidly about what it's really like raising kids whose lives unfold in front of millions. Pam opens up about navigating fame without a parenting handbook, balancing fear and faith, and learning when to guide, when to step back, and when to simply hold steady. They cover everything from mental health and sibling rivalry under a public microscope to the realities of social media for families — and why presence matters more than perfection.

In a world that feels louder than ever, many of us are quietly asking the same questions: Can I really hear God? How do I know it’s Him? And what do I do when He speaks? That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, where I sit down with Bible teacher and author Rachael Groll to talk about her book, Knowing God’s Voice: What Female Prophets of the Bible Teach Us About Recognizing, Trusting, and Obeying God. In our conversation, Rachael helps us slow down and look closely at the lives of women in Scripture who truly heard from God—and faithfully responded. Some of their stories are familiar; others are rarely taught, but all remind us that God has always spoken to women and continues to do so today. Together, we talk about: How to discern the difference between God’s voice, our own thoughts, and the voice of the enemy How to grow in confidence when God is leading you to take a step of obedience What Scripture teaches us about women using their voices for God’s purposes How the historical and cultural context of biblical women brings clarity and encouragement for us today This conversation is deeply rooted in God’s Word and gently reminds us that listening to Him is not reserved for a select few—it’s an invitation for every believer who desires to walk closely with Him. If you’ve ever felt unsure, overlooked, or hesitant to trust what God is stirring in your heart, I think this episode will encourage you in meaningful ways. You can listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, and I pray it helps you listen closely, trust more deeply, and walk faithfully in the light God gives you—one step at a time.

In this episode of The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast, Steph sits down with Dr. Lacey Nevel (@drlaceynevel). A chiropractor, entrepreneur, and mom, for a candid conversation about building a practice, a social media company, and a life of freedom alongside her spouse. Lacey shares how she and her husband Colton went full send from day one. They opened their practice without a backup plan, learning leadership the hard way, and embracing the reality that entrepreneurship isn't about balance… it's about seasons. She opens up about what it's really like to run multiple businesses while navigating postpartum life, health wake-up calls, and the internal pressure that comes with being a high-drive operator. Steph and Lacey also dive deep into the leadership evolution that happens when you've been through enough: releasing the belief that team members should stay forever, raising standards, and choosing only A-players who align with the mission. They talk about how travel becomes a reset button for vision, creativity, and nervous system regulation. as well as why building a business that can run without you is the ultimate form of autonomy (especially as a mom). This episode is for anyone who's building big, but wants to stay congruent with the life they actually want… and is ready to give themselves permission to pivot, rest, and lead at a higher level. 00:00 Welcome + intro to Dr. Lacey Neville 00:45 Lacey's story: practice + meeting her spouse + early entrepreneurship mindset 02:30 Going all-in from day one: seminars, coaching, opening the practice with no backup plan 03:15 Momentum early on: goals, "90 in 90," and why they've always been full-send 04:05 Building multiple businesses: social media company, coaching, real estate 05:00 Motherhood + entrepreneurship: seasons, not balance 06:30 Running a business with your spouse: conflict, communication, and leaving it at the door 09:30 Hustle culture, ambition, and learning when to slow down 11:50 The breaking point: health, family, and being forced to rest 14:10 Gaining clarity through rest: shedding team, redefining vision 16:00 Permission to pivot: changing goals without guilt 19:15 Leadership evolution: standards, A-players, and releasing misalignment 20:50 Creating autonomy: travel, nervous system safety, and family-first decisions 24:30 Legacy, leadership, and modeling entrepreneurship for kids 27:30 Final reflections + where to follow Lacey If you're feeling the pull to build bigger without sacrificing the life you actually want, this is your sign. 2026 is the year to lead from within, raise your standards, and create a business that gives you more freedom than it takes.

Heartbreak can turn even the strongest among us into tireless editors of the past. We replay scenes, bargain with “what if,” and try to outrun regret. This conversation changes that script. With transformation specialist Dr. Dravon James, we explore forgiveness not as a soft ideal but as a rigorous, practical pathway to real happiness. Acceptance—“it is what it is”—stops sounding like surrender and starts feeling like authorship. As Dravon says, you can't change a yellow wall to blue without first naming yellow.We dive into a blank-canvas practice that's equal parts tender and disarming: release old labels, whisper “I am nothing,” and notice what appears. From that openness, the questions sharpen: Which version of me is complete? What wants to be created now? Along the way, we trade perfection for progress and explore how safety in relationships grows when we allow the power of “no.” Boundaries become bridges when consent enters hard conversations and curiosity replaces assumption. That's where real repair begins.Dravon's insights on self-trust come alive here: before self-love, rebuild faith in your own choices by noticing how often you've already shown up for yourself. When we tune into that inner station, synchronicity feels less like luck and more like alignment. Sometimes the truth within says a long relationship has run its course. Hearing it is hard.

Susan and Diana, and they go all in on The Devil Wears Prada with a feminist lens. From Miranda Priestly as “boss goals” vs “system survivor,” to Andy's relationships cracking under the weight of ambition, this conversation gets real about emotional labor, workplace expectations, and how often women are judged no matter what choice they make. They also hit the fashion industry angle, body standards, and why this movie still lands so hard when you've lived any version of that job life.Content note: adult language.00:00 Welcome back, short staffed energy, and what kind of week this has been01:02 What we're drinking tonight (peppermint tea, Diet Coke survival mode)02:43 Real life updates and the chaos of trying to keep everything moving07:49 Starting the review: why The Devil Wears Prada counts here anyway08:19 Quick recap setup and first reactions09:15 First impressions, why the movie hits, and the “Princess Diaries vibes” moment10:45 Sequel talk, expectations, and why they picked this one right now13:16 Question 1: feminism and power, and whether Miranda is empowerment or compromise17:08 The “what if Miranda were a man?” reframing and how perception changes18:55 Question 2: relationships, ambition, and the way success gets treated differently27:50 Real world workplace story time: dress codes, sexism, and standing your ground35:41 Question 3: emotional labor, invisible work, and the assistant grind37:17 The scene that humanizes Miranda, plus the cost of choosing work every time43:29 Final question: is the fashion industry empowering, exploitative, or both?48:50 How this connects to leadership roles in education and who gets pushed where52:55 The vote: does it belong in the Hall of Fame?53:35 Sequel nerves and closing thoughtsThe movie still resonates because it nails the real tradeoffs of chasing a career goal, especially when the system was not built with you in mind.Miranda can read as both a villain and a mirror for what “power” looks like when women are expected to be perfect and soft at the same time.Andy's relationship storyline becomes a bigger conversation about how women's ambition gets treated like a problem to solve.Emotional labor is everywhere in this story, from anticipating needs to managing pressure while being judged for how you react to it.The fashion world in the film feels like both empowerment and control, especially around appearance and “fitting the part.”A lot of the conversation comes back to the same theme: women get punished for choices that would be praised in men.“Does Miranda represent empowerment, or does she reflect the compromises a woman makes within the patriarchal system?”“Damned if you do, damned if you don't.”“You can fire me, but then I'm just going to sue you.”“Miranda wants a steak at 9 a.m.”“Thank you for making me watch it… your girls fired up about it.”If you enjoyed this one, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the next review.

What if balance is a lie and self-care does not look anything like Instagram told you it would?  In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with writer, speaker, activist, and mom of eight Elisha Beach for a real conversation about motherhood, burnout, and why the idea of “having it all” is complete nonsense. Elisha shares the moments that broke her open, including a very public mommy meltdown, clinical burnout, and the pressure to put everyone else first. Together, Rebecca and Elisha unpack what self-care actually looks like in real life, how guilt sneaks in, why villages matter more than ever, and how moms can reclaim control without adding another impossible to-do list item. This is the episode every overwhelmed parent did not know they needed.Six Key Takeaways→ Balance is not real, and that is not your failureElisha explains why the idea of perfect balance sets moms up to feel like they are always falling short → Burnout does not mean weakness Clinical burnout is real and often comes from prioritizing everyone else for too long →Self-care must fit your season of life What works for one mom may not work for another, and that is exactly the point → Guilt can exist without running the show You can feel guilt without letting it dictate how you treat yourself → Your village is bigger than you think Support can include people, systems, services, and small choices that reduce mental load → You are the expert in your own life. Trusting yourself is the most important form of self-care there isMemorable Quote“Balance does not exist. You just choose what you are going to focus on and let the rest fall off for a bit.”About the GuestElisha Beach is an experienced speaker, writer, and professional mom of eight.
