Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4⁠  In today's episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice — asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving — can significantly strengthen emotional regulation. But this isn't just about parenting. The same is true for inner child work. Managing our own internal stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is so much easier when we understand how to connect with these small, vulnerable parts of ourselves. In doing so, the same principles apply:pressure escalates; presence regulates. You don't need perfect words. You don't need the right solution. You just need to show up without urgency. Presence creates the conditions for change. Join us for a discussion that might lead to your own epiphany!

In this week's episode, I talk with New York Times reporter Matt Richtel about what adolescence actually is—and why so much of what we think we know about teens is outdated. We discuss an entirely new framework for understanding the adolescent brain: a period designed for intense information processing, where kids are constantly reconciling what they've been taught with a fast-changing world. We unpack why teens don't listen (and why it's not personal), why overwhelm shows up as emotional explosions or rumination, and how parents can help their kids “reboot” instead of pushing more information into an already overloaded system. We also explore what adults can model—curiosity, coping skills, and the ability to live with ambiguity—to support teens through this challenging, necessary, and deeply meaningful developmental stage.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

In this engaging conversation, therapist Leanne Peterson discusses the complexities of modern relationships, focusing on the unique challenges men face in expressing their emotions and the evolving expectations of partnerships. The discussion covers the importance of communication, recognizing toxic patterns, and the need for personal growth within relationships.

Successful skills in the workplace should be applied at home. Couples need to create a new template for modern relationships. Communication is essential for resolving conflicts in marriage. It's important to recognize and address toxic patterns in relationships. Parenting should not overshadow the partnership between spouses. Intimacy requires intentional effort and cannot be taken for granted. Shared financial beliefs are vital for a healthy relationship. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 2806: Allison Carmen invites us to consider how we shape our children's outlook on the future, not through fear, but with the powerful, calming philosophy of Maybe. By combining hope with presence, she shows how we can help our children navigate uncertainty, feel truly loved, and grow into resilient, grounded individuals. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/the-future-for-our-children/ & http://www.allisoncarmen.com/a-true-gift-for-our-children-our-presence/ Quotes to ponder: "Maybe is a constant reminder to our children that there is hope in the unknown even if they don't know all the answers in the moment." "Your mind will return to your body and you will really see your child in front of you and truly comprehend what they need in that moment." "With your presence you can impart the strength needed for your children to go out into the world and pursue their dreams."

In this episode, I'm diving into something you probably didn't realize is shaping your parenting every single day…the quiet questions running in the background of your brain.Most parents think the problem is their kids' behavior. But so much of what we experience as “hard parenting moments” comes from the questions we're unconsciously asking ourselves—questions like:Why can't they just listen?What's wrong with me?Why is everything so hard?And here's the kicker:Your brain will always answer the question you give it.If the question is negative, the answer will be too.Today, I'm sharing a story from New Zealand (yes, the Cathedral Caves saga!) where one powerful pause and a handful of compassionate questions completely shifted a moment of frustration between me and my daughter.You'll learn:Why “Is this true?” might be the most liberating question you ever ask.How to catch the sneaky questions that are sabotaging your parenting.The three coaching questions I use daily to regulate, reflect, and reconnect.Why being an observer of your own mind is the actual parenting superpower.How to reframe disempowering questions into ones your brain can actually work with.Plus, I'll give you a handful of empowering questions you can start using right away to shift your mindset, calm your nervous system, and bring more connection (and ease!) into your home.This work is life-changing. And the best part?It starts with just one better question.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ever found yourself pleading “Pleeease, come on!” or threatening consequences? In this episode, we're diving into a simple, eye-opening framework that reveals why we slip into those moments, and how tiny shifts in our tone and presence can completely transform everyday conversations into parenting battles. From school-run stand-offs to bedtime drama, you'll start to see these patterns everywhere and laugh at how human we all are. Join me as we explore the three ego states of transactional analysis (Parent, Child, and Adult) and learn how to stay in that grounded, calm, connected space - even when your child is doing everything they can to pull you into the pit. If you want clearer communication, fewer power struggles, and a home where boundaries and kindness co-exist, this episode hands you the tools to get there - starting today.  

Send us a textIt's Therapy Thursday!!The air still hums from a room that felt brave enough for everyone. We unpack what happened at our women's conference where a Muslim practitioner, a Christian voice, and someone who practices magic shared a stage without defensiveness—and why safety, not sameness, made the healing real. The stories that poured out, the tissues that ran thin, and the look on faces walking out lighter reminded us: when people feel held, they release what they no longer need.From that high-frequency moment, we trace the everyday threads that carry healing forward. Snow the next morning felt like a season turning, and two fearless kittens named Marco and Polo taught us how to enter change with curiosity instead of fear. We talk about service that restores dignity—hotel rooms for unhoused families, turkey giveaways—and how helping becomes a place to practice our humanity. We also wrestle with bringing kids into service: intention, consent, and the heart posture that keeps respect at the center.Parenting and reparenting meet in real time as many of us teach emotional skills we never received while rebuilding our own. We talk boundaries that protect home, the risk of over-giving, and the relief that comes with aging into acceptance over performance. Then we zoom out to mental health and the power of labels, revisiting the Rosenhan study to ask for nuance in diagnosis without dismissing real care. The practical medicine we keep returning to is gratitude: one line in a journal, one quiet thank you, one mindful breath that anchors the day.Come for the conference recap; stay for the honest look at community, service, parenting, and the small daily practices that make healing stick.

It feels like there is so much opposition to homeschooling. Though today there is a far greater degree of acceptance, plenty of voices remain which not only question but blatantly oppose our efforts to raise our children at home. That said, the greatest opposition probably comes in our own self doubts and even resistance to what homeschooling requires of us. And what does it require? Just about everything. But if we learn to yield to the requirements, to the sacrifice, we learn the secret - giving is receiving, losing is reclaiming. Death is life.  About Sean Sean Allen is the founder of The Well Ordered Homeschool, husband to his beautiful bride Caroline and a proud father of eight.

This week marks a significant day for our family. 25 years ago, James and I said, "I do" to each other. While I believe that our marriages should be kept private, today's episode is about sharing the ways that I have personally sinned and caused harm to our marriage over the years. My hope is that it exposes and names areas that you may be struggling in, but the bigger mission is to encourage you to have a stronger marriage that glorifies God while you homeschool and raise your children. I am thankful for His grace and mercy in our marriage and for the work of sanctification in my own life.

If you've ever lain awake wondering, "Am I messing my kids up?"—you're in good company.   So many of us are parenting without a clear template. This is where the language of attachment can be a gift—not as a label to shame you, but as a tool to understand how you were shaped, how you're parenting now, and how Jesus can bring healing and security into the story.   In this episode, Jamie and Heather sit down with Valerie Isaacs, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, reflective consultant, and mental health trainer.   It's honest, eye-opening, grace-filled, and full of hope for every stage of the parenting journey.   Show Notes: Check out Valerie's Podcast: The Whole Person Parenting Podcast (with Valerie Isaacs)   Attachment Style Quiz   The Still Face Experiment: A powerful demonstration of how babies respond to connection and disconnection.   Understanding Attachment Styles   About Church on the Move: We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.

What if strength wasn't about doing more, but about offering yourself grace? In this episode, Jessica Colarco and Kelly discuss the pervasive feelings of guilt, particularly among women, and how to choose grace over guilt. They explore the importance of setting boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and redefining strength to include rest and self-care. The discussion also touches on parenting and the guilt that often accompanies it, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and the understanding that worthiness is not tied to productivity. Inside This Conversation:  Guilt often sneaks into our everyday lives, especially for women. Burnout can manifest as quiet resentment and heaviness. Setting boundaries is a form of honesty and self-respect. Overcommitting leads to a version of ourselves that is not genuine. Resting is not laziness; it's a necessary part of self-care. Self-compassion helps counteract feelings of guilt. Grace allows us to acknowledge our worth without productivity. Parenting guilt can hinder our ability to teach resilience to our children. Choosing grace over guilt can redefine our understanding of strength. Practicing grace can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to do the same.

Today, I want to share with you a prayer for a wandering adult child, included in Kathleen Nielson's wonderful book, “Prayers of Parents for Adult Children”: “Lord God, I do not know and cannot see her heart, but all her steps appear to turn away from you, away from light and life found in your Son. I know, Lord, that you see into the darkest heart; your perfect wisdom lays out all our paths. Please turn her feet and move her heart toward you, toward life in Christ, I pray. I do not know just how you might ordain to call her to yourself to find eternal life and life abundant, through believing in your Son. I know that you have given your breathed-out Word, the writings that can make us wise for salvation as we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the living Word made flesh to save us. Please, by your Spirit and your people, speak your Word of life into her heart, I pray. I trust in you, even as I daily ask, please lead her to believe in Christ your Son, I pray.”
