Have you ever thought about the moments that help shape your beliefs and emotions? I want to share how being a dad to triplets (plus one!) has completely reshaped how I think about financial planning. From cheering at swim meets to navigating tough parenting moments, I've learned that raising kids isn't so different from guiding families through financial decisions. Both are emotional, both are messy at times, and both require a ton of empathy. I'll share some personal stories that changed how I work with clients — how understanding someone's money story is just as important as crunching the numbers. And how learning to manage expectations (my kids, my clients, and my own) has made me a better advisor — and a dad. One key point I hope you takeaway is that emotional awareness — not just financial knowledge — can help you make better decisions for your family's future. If you've ever felt the weight of trying to do it all — save for college, plan for the future, and still be present with your family — this one's for you.

Send us a textDiscipline doesn't have to mean punishment; the most effective approach focuses on understanding the root causes behind less significant behaviors and addressing them with connection rather than correction.• Curiosity is essential in addressing less significant behaviors - take time to understand what's happening beneath the surface• Physical needs like sleep, nutrition, and exercise directly impact behavior - address these before implementing discipline• "Islands of competence" should be strengthened, not taken away as punishment• Explicit instruction and "redos" help teach appropriate behavior rather than just punishing mistakes• Timeouts work for some children while others need "time-ins" for co-regulation• Proximity and engaged presence allow parents to redirect behaviors before they escalate• Model self-regulation by taking breaks when you need to calm down• Grounding should be reserved for significant behaviors and include clear paths to restorationJoin us next week as we discuss discipline and more serious behaviors.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

This episode originally aired in April 2024 and quickly became one of the most popular episodes of The Journey. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or revisiting this conversation, this episode will get you thinking about healing in a toxic culture.   In this episode, Morgan DeBaun sits down with renowned physician, author, and trauma expert, Dr. Gabor Maté, for a thought-provoking conversation about childhood trauma and attachment, the impact of societal norms on parenting, and the healing potential of psychedelics.   In this episode: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Overview 01:30 Dr. Gabor Maté's Early Life and Trauma 04:08 Impact of Early Trauma on Adult Behavior 04:56 The Struggles of a Medical Professional 08:22 Parenting Challenges in Modern Society 13:21 The Importance of Attachment in Child Development 21:30 Balancing Entrepreneurship and Parenting 24:03 Building Strong Parent-Child Relationships 24:38 The Impact of Technology on Children 25:36 Balancing Work and Parenting 28:51 The Importance of Secure Attachment 29:49 Understanding Individuation and Socialization 36:40 The Role of Psychedelics in Healing 45:16 Resources and Final Thoughts   Dr. Maté opens up about his own childhood experiences as a Jewish infant in occupied Hungary, where abandonment and trauma shaped his early years and later influenced his relationships with his children and career. Through personal reflection, Morgan shares her own experiences of growing up with a father whose demanding career kept him often away, and her tendency towards workaholism. She shares how she intends to do things differently with her own child.   As the discussion unfolds, Dr. Maté dives into his belief that we are living in a toxic culture, where stress and societal pressures take a toll on our mental and physical health. He highlights the direct link between our minds and bodies, particularly evident in marginalized groups facing systemic racism. Dr. Maté and Morgan discuss how it is in this context that parents are expected to raise children, and how cultural parenting norms often contradict intuitive caregiving practices, driven by economic necessities rather than emotional well-being.   The episode wraps up with an eye-opening discussion on the potential of psychedelics in healing trauma, with Dr. Maté sharing the emerging research and the need for better access to these powerful tools in mental health care.   To learn more about Dr. Gabor Maté's work discussed in this episode, check out his books The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture and Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need To Matter More Than Peers.   Tune in to this insightful episode, and make sure to leave a rating and review to show your support for these incredibly powerful conversations being had week after week!   More from Dr. Gabor Maté: https://drgabormate.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==   Order Rewrite Your Rules: https://www.amazon.com/Rewrite-Your-Rules-Achieve-Freedom/dp/0593725050   Join the Newsletter for More Exclusive Content: https://worksmartprogram.ac-page.com/thejourneypodcast Make sure you are following Morgan's journey on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgandebaun?_ Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thejourneybymdb Produced by MicMoguls.

In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac speaks with Dr. Damon Korb, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, about his book Raising an Organized Child. They discuss the importance of instilling organizational skills in children, the role of parents in modeling these behaviors, and practical steps to help children become more organized and independent. The conversation covers various topics including the significance of routines, recognizing individual learning styles, and the benefits of chores in fostering independence and reducing anxiety in children. What We're Talking About An organized child is not just about tidiness but a way of thinking. Parents must model organizational skills to teach their children effectively. It's never too late to start teaching organization, but earlier is better. Children thrive on structure and routine from infancy. Recognizing individual learning styles is crucial for effective teaching. Encouraging independence helps children learn to solve their own problems. Chores contribute to children's confidence and reduce anxiety. Gradual independence in tasks prepares children for adulthood. Electronics use should be balanced with responsibilities. Resources like books and websites can aid in teaching organizational skills.
