Podcasts about Parenting

This is a personal story. Everyone's story is different. This is our story. Kids are masters at being chameleons. They don't want to be different or learn differently. They are very good at hiding their struggles, until one day the wheels come off. Teachers and school systems are not always equipped to fully understand learning disabilities. But you don't have to rely on the system to teach your child how they learn. Understanding your child's IEP, their brain, and giving them tools to navigate their challenges can help give them a roadmap to succeed on their own terms. We celebrate effort over perfection, understand gaps instead of shaming them, and help our kids grow confident. All we want to do is protect their confidence. You can get back everything else, but you can't get back confidence.This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens.

What if the most dangerous addiction in the world isn't drugs, alcohol, or gambling—but revenge? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dr. James Kimmel Jr., Yale School of Medicine researcher, attorney, and author of The Science of Revenge, to unpack what actually happens in our brains when we feel wronged, humiliated, or disrespected.   Dr. Kimmel breaks down the neuroscience behind revenge, why it lights up the brain the same way cocaine does, and how seeking retaliation gives us a temporary dopamine hit that ultimately leaves us worse off. We talk about anger, forgiveness, sibling rivalry, marriage conflict, parenting mistakes, and why forgiveness isn't weakness—it's one of the most powerful tools we have to reclaim peace, leadership, and self-control as men and fathers.     Timeline Summary    [0:00] Why revenge may be the most dangerous addiction in the world. [2:10] Introducing Dr. James Kimmel Jr. and his research on revenge and forgiveness. [3:02] How revenge activates the same brain circuitry as drugs like cocaine. [4:38] Dr. Kimmel's background as both a lawyer and Yale researcher. [6:33] Marriage, faith, and building a family with shared purpose over 37 years. [9:12] Advice on long-term marriage and selecting the right partner early. [13:23] Why revenge seeking escalates conflict in families and relationships. [16:17] Defining revenge as an addictive, pleasure-seeking process. [17:17] How grievances activate the brain's pain and reward systems. [21:25] Why emotional pain registers as physical pain in the brain. [23:13] Dopamine, craving, and why revenge never actually satisfies. [25:32] How the prefrontal cortex gets hijacked during revenge seeking. [28:06] Revenge cycles in marriage and intimate relationships. [31:20] Losing control: when logic shuts down during retaliation. [33:27] Larry shares a real-life road rage trigger moment. [37:39] How quickly fight-or-flight turns into revenge seeking. [39:52] Why only about 20% of people become "revenge addicted." [42:16] Differences between men and women when seeking revenge. [43:28] Why revenge plots dominate movies like John Wick and The Lion King. [47:07] Sibling rivalry and how revenge shows up between brothers. [54:23] Parenting discipline vs. revenge-driven punishment. [58:25] Why forgiveness is essential for breaking the revenge cycle.     Five Key Takeaways Revenge activates the same brain circuits as drugs and gambling, making it addictive and compulsive for some people.  Emotional wounds register as real physical pain in the brain, triggering a desire to self-medicate through retaliation.  Revenge provides temporary relief but increases anger, anxiety, and depression after the dopamine fades.  Parents can unintentionally cross the line from discipline into revenge, especially when ego and shame are triggered.  Forgiveness is not weakness—it's neuroscience. It's one of the most powerful ways to reclaim control, peace, and leadership.  Links & Resources The Science of Revenge: https://bit.ly/4q1khVd Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Podcast Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1414     Closing Remark   If this episode challenged the way you think about anger, conflict, and forgiveness, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

We have to grow up. If we're not going to do it now as parents, when are we?

When The Mama's Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn't even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver's licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don't stay kids forever.Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you're not alone in this season.Follow The Mama's Den on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themamasdenpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this deeply honest episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Shane Fuller—former pastor, husband, and father of four—for a powerful conversation about the complexity of change and what it truly takes for men and fathers to become who they want to be.   Rather than a dramatic downfall or instant breakthrough, Shane's story unfolds through layers: childhood influences, faith formation, identity pressure, emotional suppression, and the quiet realization that doing all the “right” things doesn't always lead to a healthy or fulfilled life. Together, Nick and Shane unpack how discouragement, shame, and unresolved pain often masquerade as anger, addiction, or control—and why most men are trying to fix the wrong problem.   The episode explores how change actually happens: through self-awareness, acceptance, consistency, and small daily decisions—not perfection or willpower. Shane offers compassionate insight into fatherhood, emotional leadership, and how tending to our inner life transforms the way we show up for our spouses and children.   This conversation is for the man who knows something needs to change, feels overwhelmed by where to start, and wants to grow without burning everything down. Shane's story is a reminder that meaningful change is rarely simple—but it is always possible.   Episode Timeline •00:00 Introduction and Greetings •00:54 Childhood Memories and Family Background •02:49 Moving to Cedar Falls •07:19 First Jobs and Early Interests •13:36 Understanding and Managing Emotions •23:04 The Importance of Self-Awareness •30:44 Navigating Faith and Family •34:55 College and Faith Formation •36:08 Theology and Personal Growth •41:39 Struggles with Pastoring •44:22 Rediscovering Compassion •50:07 Embracing Perspective and Change •56:31 Addressing Hurt and Anger •01:02:50 Practical Steps for Positive Change •01:05:39 The Power of Positive Attention •01:16:07 Small Changes, Big Impact •01:17:21 Overcoming Shame and Self-Doubt •01:18:13 Breaking the Cycle of Negative Beliefs •01:19:19 The Power of Consistency in Parenting •01:34:08 The Joys and Challenges of Fatherhood •01:43:44 Advice for Those Feeling Stuck •01:46:23 Final Thoughts and Farewell   ⸻   Key Themes •Why change for men is complex and often misunderstood •Discouragement, shame, and the roots of anger •Faith beyond performance and pressure •Fatherhood, emotional presence, and leadership at home •Small, consistent changes that reshape families   This episode speaks directly to fathers who feel stuck between who they are and who they want to be—and are ready to understand how real change actually works.   Website | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book Appointment | B2B Meeting Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project   Shanes Website: https://fullercs.com

Finding your niche onlineCredit: Her World SingaporeFormer pageant queen Genecia Alluora on empowering women and building a trusted beauty brand through Shopee livestreamingGenecia Alluora Luo, former Miss Singapore Universe runner-up, has worn many hats – from therapist to mentor and cafe owner. Now, she taps Shopee livestreaming to grow new income streams and empower women, shaped by lessons from her first skincare venture, ALLUORAAs a former Miss Singapore Universe second runner up and Miss Singapore International, entrepreneur Genecia Alluora Luo (@geneciaalluora) is no stranger to the spotlight.She has built up multiple business streams, having been an online business mentor, occupational therapist, and cafe chain owner. Now, through her platform and voice, she's carving out another stream of income for herself, while empowering other women to do the same.She does so by leveraging the power of livestreaming on Shopee. However, her journey hasn't always been smooth sailing. Back in 2013, when she started her own skincare business ALLUORA, her biggest struggle was a common one for many entrepreneurs: getting the word out about her brand and finding customers.Things changed in 2020 when Shopee invited her to set up shop on its platform. “Shopee provides a ready base of customers, and takes care of attracting and converting them into sales for us,” she says.How Shopee supports online entrepreneursShopee simplified the process for Genecia as it oversaw marketing, logistics and campaign cycles, so she could focus on scaling her business.Livestreaming proved to be a further game changer for her business. It enabled her to not just sell her products, but also connect with her customers in real-time, getting instant feedback on their concerns about skin pigmentation and dark spots.All this didn't happen overnight. The competitive nature of livestreaming saw her clocking 12 to 16 hours of livestreaming daily when she first started. She was also able to tap on Shopee's promotional campaign periods, such as 11.11, and push promotional vouchers to customers.During last year's 11.11 campaign, she raked in sales of five figures in just a 90-minute livestream.Behind the scenes, Genecia works with Shopee relationship managers who guide her through campaigns, share updates on voucher drops, and support her in creating product bundles.The business has grown so much that she now has more than 10 affiliates working with ALLUORA, on video content as well as livestreaming. The brand, which is self-funded and profitable, has steadily grown while clinching multiple awards. Her eyes are set on growing it further across the region.More than just building a business, she also hopes to empower women and provide them with an alternative source of income.“It's a way for women to find their financial independence or gain re-entry into independence,” she says, adding that training with ALLUORA and a studio space is also provided for her affiliates.Her goal is to help other women succeed.“Shopee has made it so simple to push products. All you need is a phone, Wi-Fi, a tripod, and a little courage. We coach women to share products they believe in, and earn commission without holding stock. Start small. Learn fast. We do this together,” she says.“I know what zero feels like. I've failed, learnt, and kept going. My work now? To shorten your path from stuck to unstoppable – so you don't have to do it alone. Together we are unstoppable.”With Shopee's user-friendly tools, women entrepreneurs are not only growing their businesses, but also uplifting other women along the way.Read more: https://www.herworld.com/independence/former-pageant-queen-genecia-alluora-luo-empowering-women-and-building-trusted-beauty-brand-throughWatch more: https://youtu.be/KMLUmqDhDtY?si=H9ReMJR-GDZG6VK-

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University. She is the author of the poetry collections Psalm and Atlas Hour, and the essay collection The Nail in the Tree: Essays on Art, Violence, and Childhood. A former longtime editor of the literary journal Crazyhorse, she directs Fairfield University's Low-Residency MFA and founded Poetry in Communities, an initiative bringing poetry to communities affected by violence. An NEA Fellow in Poetry, Davis's work has appeared in The Atlantic, The American Poetry Review, Image, Agni, The Georgia Review, and elsewhere.

Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.” (Hawley School's Principal sends this message to parents, including Carol Ann)Living inside the tension where nothing happened and everything changedWriters allowing mystery, unknowing, and time to remain unresolvedNaming “directly affected families” and later “families of loss”Ethical care for proximity without flattening grief into universalityThe moral value of being useful within an affected communityNarrowing attention as survival, parenting, and poetic disciplineChoosing writing, presence, and community over national policy debatesChildhood formation under the long shadow of gun violence“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree. And I'm the tree.” (Carol Ann quotes her older son, then in 4th grade)Growth as accommodation rather than healing or resolutionIntegration without erasure as a model for living with traumaRefusing happy-ending narratives after mass violence“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”Poetry as dwelling inside experience rather than extracting meaningResisting stories that turn suffering into takeawaysCrucifixion imagery, nails, trees, and the violence of embodiment“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”Violence as elemental, human, animal, and morally unsettlingDistinguishing intellectual mastery from dwelling in lived experienceA poem's turn toward fear: loving children and fearing harm“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”Childhood memory, danger, sweetness, and oceanic smallnessBeing comforted by smallness inside something vast and terrifyingEnding without closure, choosing remembrance over resolution#CarolAnnDavis#PoetryAndViolence#TraumaAndAttention#SandyHook#SandyHookPromise#FaithAndWriting#Poetry#ChildhoodAndMemoryProduction NotesThis podcast featured Carol Ann DavisEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, Zoë Halaban, Kacie Barrett & Emily BrookfieldA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Charles, meanwhile, paints a wild and colorful picture of parenting in the zany world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, where chaos may be constant, but imagination thrives. And longtime fan favorite Devocite calls in to share his own pick — the magical, whimsical, and wonderfully strange version of Oz from the classic books.After a roll of the dice, the adventure continues with the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe gushes about rewatching Frequency with his wife and rediscovering how emotionally powerful it is. Charles, after a few delightful detours, dives into his latest obsession: Split Fiction, a new psychological video game that's caught his curiosity in all the best ways.The next random segment leads to “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” where the hosts look back on comically ill-advised moments from their lives — those unforgettable stories of getting into trouble for doing something, well… dumb. It's relatable, hilarious, and an instant reminder that we all have those moments.The dice then deliver a round of Bad Dad Jokes, courtesy of Joe, whose delivery is somehow both perfect and perfectly groan-worthy. Charles suffers valiantly.When fate calls for the “Parliament of Papas,” Charles and Joe talk through a real situation shared by listener TheFullRunThrough, discussing how life's chaos sometimes spills into relationships — and how communication can help repair the cracks.Finally, the show wraps up with “How Do I…?”, where the hosts share thoughtful and nerd-approved advice on choosing the best geeky gifts for your family and friends. Whether it's fandom merch, tabletop games, or personalized treasures, Charles and Joe break down how to gift thoughtfully and creatively.Across stories, tangents, laughs, and dad wisdom, this episode invites every listener to Find your FAMdom and celebrate the joy of being both a parent and a nerd.

Is the ultimate parenting flex actually… no gifts at all? Because according to The Cut, Millennial parents now fall into two dramatic camps:Camp Maximalist: “Here’s every toy that's ever been produced.”Camp Minimalist: “Your present is… presence.” Meanwhile, gentle parenting has officially been cancelled. After a viral post dragged the whole “boundary-less vibes only” approach, we’re gathered here today to mount a defence before it’s declared emotionally supportive manslaughter. And in other critical news, the internet is deep into an investigation of the gossip going on about the Millennial mum group — Ashley Tisdale, Mandy Moore, and Hilary Duff — basically the Avengers of wholesome parenting. What are they hiding? PTA secrets? Matching snack schedules? We will, of course, be looking into it with the seriousness it deserves… which is none. Our Recommendations:

This might be the funniest, most NSFW episode we've ever recorded—and it's also one of the realest conversations we've ever had about women, comedy, and motherhood. Kristin and Tyler sit down with two women who have done something almost no one in their industry pulls off: build big, boundary-pushing comedy careers… and then become moms without disappearing into motherhood.Natasha Leggero — yes, that Natasha — the iconic stand-up comedian you know from Chelsea Lately, the Comedy Central Roasts, countless specials, and her cult-favorite series Another Period — brings her signature sharp, glamorous, no-BS take on what it really costs to survive Hollywood, stay funny, and navigate the emotional landmines of becoming a mom.She's joined by Sabrina Jalees — a comedian and powerhouse TV writer known for Big Mouth, Search Party, and Apple TV+'s Fraggle Rock — who brings a brutally funny, disarmingly honest look at identity, parenting, and the chaos of raising kids while making comedy for a living.Together, they do what women in comedy have always been told not to do: they get real, they get raw, and they say the quiet parts out loud.You'll hear:• How motherhood collides with a career built on late nights, touring, and telling the truth into a microphone• The invisible pressure on moms to be “grateful” and “perfect” while quietly drowning• The identity crisis of going from “comic first” to “mom first” — and how they're reclaiming both• Why laughing about the darkest, messiest parts of parenting can be the most healing thing you do• Wild, genuinely NSFW stories (strip clubs, autism disclaimers, airline-tracking apps… nothing is off-limits)It's chaotic, brilliant, vulnerable, and laugh-til-you-snort funny. If you've ever felt the pressure to do motherhood perfectly, the fear of losing yourself, or the relief of finally laughing at the mess — this episode is your permission slip. This is the side of motherhood no one talks about. This is the side of comedy no one sees. And this is the episode you'll be thinking about long after it's overNeed more?
