Welcome to the first Connected Parenting episode of 2026.As we step into a new year, many parents are feeling something they don't always say out loud: the world feels unsettling. It feels polarized, confusing, and at times frightening. Even when we try to protect our children from it, kids sense adult anxiety, uncertainty, and tension more than we realize.This episode is not about fixing the world or pretending everything is fine. Instead, it's about coming back to what is within our reach as parents: connection, presence, and the small, powerful moments that shape emotionally healthy humans.The world doesn't need perfect kids. It needs emotionally integrated, compassionate, resilient humans, and those are shaped through connection.Jennifer's Takeaways:New Year Reflections and Parenting Challenges (00:00)Children's Exposure to Information and Parental Responsiveness (01:31)Emotional Regulation and Self-Soothing (03:25)Concrete Ideas for Daily Connection (05:25)Reframing Parental Responses and Building Emotional Integration (05:46)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or under constant pressure? This episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering explores how to stay emotionally balanced when life feels heavy, uncertain, and nonstop. The focus is on stress, anxiety, emotional overload, and the way the nervous system struggles when there is no time to recover. The episode introduces the idea of capacity, meaning how much inner space is available to think, feel, pause, and respond instead of react. When that space disappears, even small decisions can feel exhausting. Through mindfulness-based insights and simple awareness practices, the episode highlights how emotional pressure builds quietly over time and how creating even a small amount of inner room can reduce suffering. Key themes include calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety, letting go of self blame, and separating personal identity from current life experiences. The episode also explores how acceptance, compassion, and emotional awareness can restore balance, clarity, and resilience during stressful periods. This episode is for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, or mental exhaustion. It is especially helpful for people navigating uncertainty, carrying unresolved emotional weight, feeling stuck, or seeking mindfulness tools for emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and inner peace. Poem: The Weight of Holding There is a weight that does not come from pain, but from holding. Holding the past after it is long gone. Holding the future before it arrives. Holding ourselves to stories that say this moment should be different from what it is. But today we can set something down. Not the whole burden, just one unnecessary thought. One quiet argument with reality. One belief that this moment defines us. And in that small opening, maybe something shifts. Breath can return. The nervous system can soften. Our hearts can remember they were never meant to carry everything at once. We are not what is happening. We are the space where it is happening. And for now, that can be enough room for less suffering. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most.  I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty.   This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all.   In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.

Are you tired of yelling—and still dealing with tantrums, defiance, and emotional meltdowns?What if the reason tantrums keep happening isn't because your child is “misbehaving,” but because something deeper isn't being addressed?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning break down the exact framework they've used to practice parenting without yelling—and to prevent tantrums before they start. As parents of seven, they share the six core principles that transformed their family culture from reactive and exhausting to calm, connected, and emotionally resilient.You'll learn why tantrums are a symptom, not the problem, and how prioritizing connection over correction eliminates the need for constant discipline. This conversation challenges the myth that punishment creates better behavior and shows how teaching, clarity, emotional co-regulation, and healthy challenge create lasting change.They also explain why many kids simply lack the neurological ability to self-regulate, and how co-regulation—not isolation or punishment—is the missing piece for most families struggling with meltdowns.If you're ready to stop firefighting behavior and start building a family culture that actually works, this episode will change how you see parenting.Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/V1Vrh3u6FpI Key Takeaways:✅ Connection reduces the need for correction — discipline works best when the relationship is protected first.✅ Tantrums are symptoms, not the problem — go upstream to unmet needs instead of reacting to behavior.✅ Parent with clarity, not threats or bribes — vague rules create rebellion; clear teaching creates ownership.✅ Emotional co-regulation is essential — children can't self-regulate until they're taught how through you.✅ Family systems reduce chaos — routines and expectations remove friction and power struggles.✅ Resilience is built through connection and challenge — kids grow strongest when they choose hard things with your support.Memorable Quotes

This episode explores anger — when it's a healthy response to injustice and when it's a cover for softer feelings like fear, shame, or grief — and how it affects parenting, marriage, and children's sense of safety. We discuss practical regulation tips, the risks of codependence and over‑protecting children, and how faith and community support the long process of change.

In this episode of the Parent Companion for Play Therapy series, I explain the idea of layers of an onion and how it helps parents understand what's really happening as children work through challenges in child-centered play therapy. Each issue a child brings — anxiety, control, regulation, self-esteem, fear — is its own layer, but none of them exist in isolation. They are all connected and influence each other as part of the child's overall growth. I walk through how these layers develop and shift together over time, alongside the four universal outcomes of play therapy. When a child works on one area, it naturally impacts others. This episode builds on the waffles and spaghetti concept and helps parents understand why play therapy leads to broad, meaningful change rather than isolated fixes — and why children don't work through issues one at a time, even if it looks that way from the outside.

What really happens as people with FASD grow into adulthood and beyond?In this episode of The FASD Success Show, Jeff Noble sits down with Dr. Valerie Temple to talk about brand-new Canadian research exploring how the FASD brain and body change with age — and what families, caregivers, and professionals need to know to support lifelong success.Dr. Temple and her team analyzed data from over 400 adults across Canada to compare younger adults (18–24) with older adults (35+). What they found challenges a lot of assumptions about FASD, aging, and the brain.In This Episode You'll Learn • Why older adults with FASD aren't “less affected,” but show different patterns of strengths and challenges • How executive function and attention improve for many adults, while memory and physical health issues increase • Why substance use and mental health struggles remain high across adulthood — and what helps most • How diagnosis and support systems can evolve to meet changing needs over time • What this research means for caregivers, families, and self-advocates navigating adulthoodWhy It Matters For years, most FASD research has focused on children and youth. Dr. Temple's 2025 study is one of the first to look closely at aging in FASD, providing real data on what support looks like across a lifetime.The big takeaway: the FASD brain doesn't stop changing. It adapts, learns, and keeps building new pathways. With the right support, growth and connection are possible at every age.Watch the Full Interview YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZpjr6YGxH8Listen to the Episode Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-fasd-success-show/id1492499195 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ntB51glqYnRPmXCh6lOGq?si=f006bfa2966d4972Resources & Links • Read the full study: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD): Comparing profiles of younger versus older adults • Join our free Parent & Caregiver Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FASDFOREVER • Follow Jeff on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/FASDSuccess • Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FASDSuccess • Visit our website for show notes and articles: https://www.fasdsuccess.com/blog/new-research-on-fasd-and-aging-what-families-need-to-knowSupport the show

Antizionist Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro exposes Israel's lies, the way Zionism perverts Judaism and endangers Jews. He's then joined by historian Samuel Biagetti to debunk Candace Owens' latest lies and explain the history of Christmas and New Years.

He uses his knowledge in his antique dealership, in producing the podcast Historiansplaining, in his writings, and in giving college-level lectures. Yaakov Shapiro is an international speaker, author, and pulpit rabbi for over 30 years, now emeritus. He has attained an enviable place in the arena of anti-Zionist public intellectuals, having constructed a unique oeuvre on the ideology of Zionism and its relationship to Judaism. After graduating high school at age 16, Rabbi Shapiro dedicated himself to full-time study of religion, becoming the protégé of some of the most well-regarded rabbinic scholars in Orthodoxy. Among his areas of research are religious philosophy, analytic theology, Talmud, Halachah, and Biblical exegesis. At age 19 he published his first book, משפטי הבירורים, a collection of original expositions on rabbinic principles of tort adjudication. His other books include חלקת השדה, a commentary on Judaic laws governing land disputes (2000); צדה לדרך, a commentary on Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato's exposition of God as the Necessary Being (2009); and שופריה דיעקב, a compendium of original Biblical exegeses (2017). His most recent work, The Empty Wagon: Zionism's Journey from Identity Crisis to Identity Theft (2018), a 1381-page treatise on the differences between Judaism and Zionism, is the most comprehensive work written on the subject and considered by many to be definitive. Rabbi Shapiro's videos on Zionism have been seen by millions of viewers worldwide and translated into several foreign languages. His 7-minute video on President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has been viewed over 1.8 million times. He has lectured for live audiences of thousands. Rabbi Shapiro is a recipient of the Community Leadership Award from Agudath Israel of America; the Keser Torah Award from Yeshiva Torah Vodaath; Harbotzas Torah award from Yeshiva Bais Yisroel; Parent of the Year Award from Bnos Yisroel; and a post-rabbinical scholarship award from the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthalps Follow Katie on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@kthalps_

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for practical coaching resources, conflict management strategies, and support systems that help you handle criticism constructively while protecting your mental health and coaching career. In this episode, we address the harsh reality that comes with every coaching position: you will face criticism from parents, and how you respond to it will significantly impact your effectiveness, longevity, and personal wellbeing. The criticism comes in many forms—direct confrontations after games, passive-aggressive comments in the stands, complaints to administrators, negative posts on social media, and whisper campaigns that poison team culture—and navigating this minefield requires thick skin, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. We explore how to differentiate between legitimate feedback that deserves consideration and unreasonable attacks rooted in bias, entitlement, or misunderstanding. You'll learn mental frameworks for processing criticism without taking it personally, techniques for responding professionally when you're being attacked unfairly, and when to address concerns head-on versus when to let them pass without validation. We discuss the importance of having a support system—fellow coaches, mentors, trusted administrators—who can provide perspective when you're questioning yourself, and how to develop the emotional resilience required to coach with conviction despite knowing some parents will always be unhappy with your decisions. This episode provides actionable strategies for specific criticism scenarios: responding to the parent who cc's the superintendent on complaint emails, handling confrontations in parking lots or gym lobbies, addressing false accusations about favoritism or incompetence, and managing the psychological toll of constant second-guessing. We also cover how to document interactions properly to protect yourself, when to involve human resources or legal counsel, and how to recognize when criticism reflects legitimate program issues versus individual agenda. Whether you're losing sleep over a vocal parent's attacks or questioning if coaching is worth the emotional drain, you'll gain tools to maintain perspective, respond with professionalism, and build the mental toughness required to lead despite inevitable criticism. dealing with criticism coaching, parent criticism basketball, coaching mental health, handling attacks coaching, basketball coach criticism, professional response criticism, coaching emotional resilience, parent complaints coaching, false accusations coaching, coaching support systems, mental toughness coaching, coaching under pressure, criticism management basketball, protecting coaching career, documentation parent conflicts, basketball coaching stress, handling confrontation coaching, coaching professionalism criticism, toxic parent behavior, coaching job security, criticism perspective coaching, coaching mental framework, parent attacks coaching, basketball coaching challenges, emotional intelligence coaching, coaching self-care, administrator support coaching, legal protection coaching, Wisconsin basketball coaching, high school coaching criticism SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by education expert Lizzie Assa to talk about independent play—why it matters, what it actually builds in kids, and how to make it work in real life. We break down the difference between independent play and ignoring your child, how to respond when kids say “I'm bored,” and simple ways to set up your home so play can happen more naturally. Lizzie shares practical strategies like play prompts, play pockets, and quiet time, along with reassurance for parents who feel guilty stepping back. This conversation is all about helping kids build confidence, resilience, and creativity—while giving parents a little more breathing room too.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for coaching resources, communication templates, and strategies that help you navigate parent relationships, establish boundaries, and maintain your coaching authority while building a positive program culture. In this episode, we tackle one of the most stressful and persistent challenges every basketball coach faces: managing parent expectations, complaints, and pressure while staying true to your coaching philosophy and doing what's best for the team. Whether you're dealing with parents who question playing time decisions, disagree with your offensive system, criticize your coaching on social media, or undermine team culture, this conversation will equip you with practical strategies to handle these situations professionally and effectively. We explore the root causes of parent pressure—unrealistic expectations about their child's abilities, college recruitment anxiety, lack of understanding about team dynamics, and emotional investment that clouds judgment—and discuss how to address these concerns with empathy while maintaining appropriate boundaries. You'll learn communication strategies that prevent problems before they escalate: preseason parent meetings that establish expectations, open-door policies with clear protocols, the 24-hour rule for post-game complaints, and when to involve athletic directors or administrators. We break down how to conduct difficult conversations about reduced playing time, role changes, or behavioral issues in ways that preserve relationships while being honest about the reality of competitive basketball. This episode provides specific frameworks for handling the most common parent pressure situations: the parent who emails after every loss demanding explanations, the family that hires a trainer who contradicts your teaching, the vocal critic who poisons other parents against you, and the influential community member who leverages relationships to advocate for their child. We also discuss self-care strategies for coaches dealing with constant criticism, how to build administrative support that shields you from unreasonable demands, and when parent behavior crosses lines that require firm consequences. Whether you're a first-year coach navigating these dynamics for the first time or a veteran who's tired of the drama, you'll gain confidence to lead your program with integrity while managing parent relationships in healthy, sustainable ways. handling parents coaching, parent pressure basketball, coaching parent relationships, difficult parents sports, basketball parent communication, playing time complaints, parent expectations coaching, coaching boundaries parents, basketball parent meetings, dealing with criticism coaching, parent conflict resolution, athletic director support, coaching integrity basketball, managing parent pressure, toxic parents sports, basketball coaching stress, parent complaint protocols, difficult conversations coaching, basketball parent issues, coaching professionalism parents, social media criticism coaching, parent education basketball, team culture parents, coaching authority maintaining, parent dynamics basketball, basketball coaching challenges, parent interference sports, coaching mental health, Wisconsin basketball coaching, high school parent issues SEO Keywords: Learn more about your ad choices.

Every year brings challenges, uncertainty, and problems that can feel overwhelming. While it is not possible to control how many problems arise, it is possible to change how much space they take up in daily life. This episode explores the practice of right sizing problems and placing them back into their true proportion so they do not drown out peace, clarity, and joy. Through a personal story and practical reflection, listeners are guided to recognize how fear, uncertainty, and discomfort can quietly expand suffering even when much of life is still working. Listeners will learn simple mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, quiet mental noise, and regain perspective during difficult times. This episode offers tools for self improvement, emotional resilience, and navigating uncertainty with greater calm without toxic positivity or denial. A grounding listen for anyone seeking less stress, less suffering, and more emotional balance in 2026.  A Poem: The Root of the Problem Problems arrive demanding space, noisy and persistent, echoes of repetition. They lodge with a sense of permanence  Yet time moves anyway, a force beyond even a problem's grasp, guiding change, softening urgency, leaving without notice. What remains, often, is not what demanded attention. It is the love that stayed. The heart that kept beating. The steadiness that did not announce itself. Life held together in the quiet nature of the moment. Remembering often arrives late, the quiet recognition that what felt consuming was temporary, and what felt ordinary was doing the real work. Problems pass. What roots us does not. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

EP:173 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I'm getting real about what it actually feels like when you start coming out of fight or flight—and why it often feels worse before it feels better. I walk you through my own journey of living in survival mode for years: high-risk pregnancies, preemies, solo parenting, Jonathan's mental health struggles, his passing, and the long, messy process of grief. I share how year one after losing Jonathan was pure fight or flight, and how year two was a completely different kind of hard: deep exhaustion, brain fog, heaviness, and feeling “lazy” even though it was really my nervous system finally trying to land the plane. We'll talk about: The real signs you're coming out of fight or flight (and why it can mimic depression) Why you feel so tired, unproductive, and snappy with loved ones How your brain has been patterned to believe go-go-go = safety Why slowing down feels terrifying, “wrong,” or like you're failing What your body actually needs: sleep, water, nourishment, gentle movement, and true rest How society and immediacy culture keep us stuck in overfunctioning and burnout. I'll give you permission (and language) to tell your brain, “I am safe,” even when you're resting on the couch and that inner critic is screaming “lazy.” This episode is your reminder that feeling heavy, tired, and low when you step out of survival mode does not mean you're broken—it means your brain and body are recalibrating. If you're ready to slowly step out of fight or flight, three to five percent at a time, this conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and not alone. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who's been living in survival mode.

It's about getting there with your relationship intact.

And you are doing an incredible job.

It's been eight years since Marnie first sat down with the fellas, and let's just say… things haven't exactly slowed down. Back in 2018, Marnie was a 23-year-old trying to navigate her mother's sudden and terrifying diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Now, at 31, she's back in the studio to give us the raw, unfiltered update on what happens after the diagnosis. Marnie takes us through the absolute rollercoaster of the last few years. From her mom's near-death experience involving a ruptured bowel (and the subsequent delusions that the doctors harvested her organs) to the detective work required to figure out why her mom is buying furniture for imaginary tenants. We get deep into the heavy stuff: the crushing anxiety of wondering if you're going to inherit your parent's illness, the guilt of moving across the country to save your own sanity, and the weird, heartbreaking reality of "parenting your parent" before you've even had kids of your own.Check out Marnie's podcast:Giddy Up: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FjHKJoPzNOehPX2B1qr1X?si=fe429e23dec640c0Instagram: @gidddyyyupFollow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN
