Justin Goodbread is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, and host of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast who has built and sold multiple companies while raising three kids alongside his wife Emily in Tennessee. His father Alan, a Georgia Port Authority worker who homeschooled three children with Juilliard graduates and university professors on a lower-middle-class income, laid the foundation for everything Justin has become as a man, a husband, and a dad. This episode is a raw, honest look at how faith, family, and legacy intersect when life gets hard. Justin shares the stories behind losing his father suddenly at 61, nearly losing Emily during an 8-hour surgery with a 12% survival rate, and how both moments stripped away his obsession with building empires and replaced it with something that actually matters. If you're a dad who wants to leave your kids with more than money, this conversation will stay with you.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Host opens with a special June Alliance offer including a signed book, two courses, and 50 intimate conversation starters for couples [2:38] Guest Justin Goodbread is introduced and the two celebrate a recent episode swap on Justin's podcast [3:46] Justin describes his father Alan and the radical decision his parents made to break a cycle of dysfunction by raising their kids in faith and homeschooling them decades before it was common [7:39] Dad gives 15-year-old Justin an ultimatum: have a job by Friday or don't come home, with three strict rules that made it nearly impossible in their small Georgia town [9:53] Justin finds a stranger's overgrown yard, earns $40, and comes home to a father who reveals the lesson he'd orchestrated all along: at 15, you just outearned me [11:37] Two years after starting "Lawn Care by the Boys," Justin and his brother were earning more individually than their parents combined [12:33] After a final day hunting and a Taco Bell conversation about responsibility and legacy, Justin returns home to a call that his father had a massive heart attack that night [13:22] Justin describes a five-year crisis of faith following his father's sudden death at 61, and how grief forced him to rebuild everything from the ground up [24:01] Justin shares the family motto "No one outworks a Goodbread" and how his dad led with short, hard-to-forget phrases that became the family's operating system [29:18] Seven years of tribulation including multiple deaths, suicides among friends, and the stripping away of money and relationships down to just Justin, Emily, and a handful of close friends [31:39] Emily's surgery runs more than 8 hours when doctors said anything past 6 would mean trouble, and Justin sits alone in the hospital waiting room [33:06] Emily's first words coming out of anesthesia: "Justin, what's another million dollars going to do for us?" and how that question changed the direction of his entire life [39:44] The post-surgery shift: intentionality replaces ambition, marriage gets prioritized above all, and Justin and Emily travel to Costa Rica and Saint Lucia to invest in their relationship like never before [43:51] Justin uses the story of Jochebed and Moses to explain his parenting philosophy: mothers nurture in the early years, then fathers step in to disciple their kids into warriors [46:14] His 21-year-old daughter calls, ready to quit a hard nursing class. Justin says nothing. She already knows exactly what he'll say because she's been discipled. [53:43] Justin closes with Ephesians 6:13: "having done all, stand" — do your dead-level best, trust grace for the rest, and enter heaven exhausted   Five Key Takeaways Your kids are watching you model your marriage more than they are watching you parent them. Justin and Emily made it a point to date each other first, keep their marriage above everything else, and trust that their kids would follow what they saw. When Emily nearly died, their daughter was already grounded enough to say "don't worry, dad, we got this." A crisis of faith is not the end of faith. After his father died, Justin spent five years questioning everything he had been raised to believe. What came out on the other side was not a shallower faith but a more surrendered one — a willingness to stop fighting the path and trust the process even when it costs him. The goal is to enter heaven exhausted, not retired. Justin draws a direct line from his father's work ethic to his own rejection of the Western retirement model. Life built around impact, not income, is the shift that Emily's surgery forced him to make, and it became the most clarifying decision of his adult life. Discipleship is about covering your kids in dust. Justin references the Hebrew tradition of students being covered in the dust of their teacher as they walked behind them. The goal is not just to tell your kids what to believe but to walk faithfully enough in front of them that when it counts, they already know what to do. God gets no glory in quitting. Justin's father said it when the family was tempted to pull the kids from homeschooling. Justin's daughter said it back to him at 21, unprompted, when she was ready to drop a nursing class. The phrase became a family doctrine because it was lived out, not just spoken.   Links & Resources DecaMillionaire Decoded Podcast — http://justingoodbread.com/podcast Connect with Justin on Instagram — http://instagram.com/justingoodbread Join the Dad Edge Alliance — http://thedadedge.com/join 50 Intimate Kid Conversation Starters — http://thedadedge.com/kidquestions Show notes and full resources — http://thedadedge.com/1487   Closing Justin's story is not a highlight reel.

Eliza Fricker joins me to talk about PDA or pathological demand avoidance – and in fact I know many people interpret PDA as persistent desire for autonomy. I've done a few episodes on PDA before but never from a parent's perspective so after reading Eliza's book, The Family Experience of PDA, I knew I wanted to share her perspective with the Tilt community. During this episode, we talked about how demand avoidance is more extreme in a child with a PDA profile vs. the inflexibility and rigidity we might see in other neurodivergent kids, what Eliza has learned about herself parenting a child with PDA, and what her resistance was to the changes needed to her parenting style. Eliza also gave out some great tips for teachers who have a PDA student in their classroom and for parents who are struggling with family, friends, or people close to them who aren't willing to understand what PDA is and what that means for their family. Things you'll learn from this episode * What makes demand avoidance more extreme in children with PDA * Eliza's experience in changing her parenting ways to become more flexible * Tweaks teachers can use to work with children who have PDA in a classroom setting * How PDA may look different than “typical demand avoidance” that we might see in some neurodivergent children * What Eliza has learned about herself from parenting a child with PDA * Advice for parents who are raising a child with PDA Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're raising a strong-willed kid, this episode could change the trajectory of their entire life. In this revisit of one of our favorite episodes, Kristin pulls back the curtain on what it was like to be that so-called “bad kid” herself - and shares the exact 3 messages every strong-willed child needs to hear on repeat.Strong-willed kids get mislabeled as “bad” all the time. They push back. They melt down big. They leave you wondering if you're failing - or if they'll ever fit into the world. But here's the truth: they're not broken. They're brilliant. And how you parent them determines whether that brilliance gets buried in shame or unleashed as their superpower.When you start saying these words, everything changes:- Your child will begin to see themselves as worthy, not “bad.”- You'll stop parenting from fear and start parenting from belief.- You'll shift from daily power struggles to raising a child who knows they are loved, gifted, and celebrated exactly as they are.These aren't just words. They're lifelines. And they can change the way your child shows up in the world - and how you show up as their parent.

We can get a little bit better each day. And you don't have to do it alone.

AI is getting better at sounding human. Better at conversation. Better at reassurance. Better at knowing exactly what we want to hear. So what happens when our kids start building relationships with machines designed to remove friction? In this conversation, Dr. Becky talks with former Wall Street Journal tech columnist Joanna Stern about AI toys, chatbot companions, creativity, learning, and the surprising role frustration plays in healthy human development. Together, they explore why “helpful” technology can potentially short-circuit the skills kids most need to build: patience, resilience, independent thinking, and real connection. Joanna also shares what happened when she spent time building a relationship with an AI chatbot herself... and why it left her more concerned about kids and companion bots than ever before. * From the newborn days to the teen years, Good Inside now supports parents through every stage of childhood — with practical guidance for the moments that matter most.

Mom Needs a Moment: Moving From Parenting Reactivity to Self-Trust with Dr. Cassidy Freitas Why do the parents who care the most often feel the most shame when they lose their temper? In this episode, Hunter talks with licensed marriage and family therapist and author Dr. Cassidy Freitas about the deeply human moments of parenting—when we react in ways we wish we hadn't, and the shame that can follow. Dr. Cassidy explains what's actually happening in the nervous system right before we snap, why knowing the “right” parenting tools doesn't always mean we can access them in stressful moments, and how understanding reactivity as nervous system wisdom can help parents move from shame toward self-trust. You'll also learn how slowing down and creating space—or “margins”—in your life can help regulate emotions, break reactive cycles, and strengthen connection with your kids. If you've ever thought, “I know better… so why did I react like that?” this conversation will help you understand yourself with more compassion. In This Episode You'll Learn Why parents who care deeply often experience the most shame after losing it What's happening in the nervous system just before parenting reactivity Why parenting tools can disappear under stress How triggers can be useful information rather than personal failures The role of “internal parts,” stress, and personal history in parenting moments How modern parenting advice can erode parents' trust in their inner knowing What repair looks like—not just with your child, but within yourself A Few Powerful Takeaways Reactivity is nervous system wisdom—not personal failure. Parenting requires space to reflect, not just strategies to apply. Self-compassion is essential for breaking cycles of shame and reactivity.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel makes the case that one of the most powerful things you can do for your child's immune system is also the simplest — and the most overlooked. Drawing on his upbringing on a cattle and grain farm in northwest Iowa, Dr. Tony connects real-life farm stories to cutting-edge neuroimmunology to show why getting outside, playing in the dirt, and embracing exposure is foundational to raising healthy, resilient kids. He breaks down the hygiene hypothesis, shares findings from a groundbreaking Finland daycare study, and explains why fear of germs may be doing more damage than the germs themselves. Whether you live on a farm or in a suburb, this episode will change the way you think about your family's everyday environment.-----Links & Resources:The Resilient Family Summit: Raising Healthy Kids in a Crazy Stressful Worldhttps://www.thepxdocs.com/offers/Crje8Pri-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:02 How Over-Medicalization Created the Sickest Generation Ever 00:07 Farm Life & Why His Family Almost Never Went to the Doctor 00:11 His Dad's Broken Finger and What It Taught Him About Immune Resilience 00:14 Why Chronic Fear and Worry May Be the Worst Health Threat of All 00:16 What Kids Actually Get from Being Outside: Sun, Sweat, Air & Vitamin D 00:25 Kids Spend Less Time Outside Than Prison Inmates — Here's Why It Matters 00:28 The Perfect Storm: Raising the Cleanest — and Sickest — Generation Ever 00:33 The Finland Rewilding Study: What 43 Daycares Proved in 2–4 Weeks 00:40 The Most Advanced Intervention Is the One We Left Behind 75 Years Ago-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Dan, Manny, & Billy welcome Actor, Producer, and Musician Alisa Reyes to discuss how she went from being on Nickelodeon's All That, to evolving into a high-powered multi-hyphenate talent, and being the voice of LaCienega Boulevardez on the award-winning show The Proud Family.   “It is all about uplifting humanity during Mother Earth's ascension right now, and we just gotta ride this wave gracefully, and we all gotta just stay connected and keep uplifting the vibration of humanity [...] that's why we all do what we do.” -Alisa Reyes   This is a special episode of Nostalgia 101, because Alisa Reyes has been part of so many of the pop-culture moments in all our lives, so it was an honor to have her on the podcast to talk about her time on All That, Teen NBC's  One World, what it's like to keep evolving and transitioning so successfully in such an ever-changing industry, and her recent time on the award-winning show The Proud Family.

When a teen is in crisis, the behavior is not the whole message. In this conversation, I talk with Katie May about what she calls "fire feelers," kids and teens who are biologically sensitive, highly reactive, and slow to return to baseline once emotions get big. Katie explains how these kids often grow up hearing some version of "you're fine" when they are very much not fine, and how that repeated mismatch can teach them to distrust their own internal experience. We talk about why self-destructive behavior is often an attempt to make overwhelming emotion stop, and why behavior has to be understood as communication before it can really change. We also get into one of the most important parts of the episode for me: what happens to parents when things escalate. Katie talks about the shame and blame cycle, the grief that sits underneath so much of that, and why parents need their own support if they are going to stay steady in the middle of a crisis. We unpack the revolving door of hospitalization, what keeps families stuck there, and why healing is not about making all the stress disappear. It is about learning how to live inside a life that is hard and still build something meaningful, connected, and hopeful. Key Takeaways Some kids are biologically more sensitive. They feel emotions intensely, react quickly, and take longer to calm back down. Katie calls these kids "fire feelers." Repeated dismissal teaches kids to doubt themselves. When a child keeps hearing "you're fine" while feeling overwhelmed, they may start to believe their own internal signals are wrong. Self-destructive behavior is often a solution, not just a problem. It may be an impulsive attempt to make unbearable emotion go away fast. Behavior is communication. If the outside looks chaotic, there is usually something painful and dysregulated happening on the inside. Validation is not approval. It is a way of saying, "I see how hard this is for you," without reinforcing harmful behavior. Parents do not need a perfect script. Sometimes the right response is words, and sometimes it is simply staying present without minimizing what the teen is feeling. Beneath blame and shame, there is often grief. Parents are grieving the gap between the life they imagined and the life they are actually living. You cannot just remove a coping strategy without building something else. If a behavior is serving a survival function, there has to be a different way for that person to get through the day. The hospitalization cycle can become its own trap. Parents and clinicians feel temporary relief, but the teen often comes back to the same triggers without enough targeted support. Parents need real support too. This is heavy, isolating work, and families need spaces where they can talk honestly without being judged or panicked at. About Katie May Katie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and wrote the #1 Amazon best-seller You're On Fire, It's Fine. With lived experience as a teen who turned to self-harm, Katie is one of only 11 Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinicians in Pennsylvania, the gold standard treatment for self-harm and suicidal behaviors. She equips parents and clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to decode behavior as survival and create lasting change.

Working with adolescents who often come from difficult, traumatic, and challenging backgrounds, David found that the approach offered a powerful new framework for building trust, strengthening relationships, and helping youth recognize their own greatness.David discusses what it was like to learn a completely different style of communication and why one of the approach's greatest strengths is that it doesn't require people to become someone they're not. The conversation also explores the impact of bringing the approach into Serenity Mesa, where it has transformed not only David's leadership but also the way staff engage with and support the youth they serve. From shifting culture to creating more positive interactions, David shares firsthand examples of how focusing on strengths can help young people thrive.This episode is an inspiring look at the power of authentic connection, the importance of seeing greatness in others, and how a simple shift in approach can create lasting change for both youth and the adults who support them.For more information about Serenity Mesa Youth Recovery Center visit their website at www.serenitymesa.com or call their office at 505-877-3644For more from me visit my website MussiDiskin.com or email me at EnergizingHearts@gmail.com Check out my free parenting course called Parenting 101 at MussiDiskin.com/freecontent

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, author, and speaker Dr. Lee Warren to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, trauma, and transformation. Drawing from his experiences as a combat neurosurgeon during the Iraq War, surviving PTSD, and grieving the loss of his 19-year-old son, Mitch, Dr. Warren shares how those painful seasons led him to discover the powerful connection between intentional thinking, faith, and neuroplasticity. The conversation explores the difference between the mind and the brain, how thoughts shape the body and behavior, and why modern neuroscience increasingly supports biblical principles about renewing the mind. Sathiya and Dr. Warren also discuss addiction recovery, habit formation, resilience through suffering, the importance of community and brotherhood, and Dr. Warren's concept of “self-brain surgery” — the process of intentionally rewiring the brain through thought patterns, faith, and action. Throughout the episode, they reflect on scriptures including Romans 12, Philippians 4, Romans 5, and Psalm 103, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace hope, pursue healing, and recognize their God-given capacity for growth and transformation through adversity.

Parenting doesn't happen by accident; every child is being formed, either with intention or by default. Pastor Shawn challenges us to shape the next generation in wisdom, identity, relationships, and faith, while reminding us that our influence is greatest when we model what we hope to see in them.

If you're wondering why your child is still struggling despite trying everything, the answer may lie in nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, shares how calming the brain unlocks real, lasting change.Why is your child still struggling—even after trying everything? If you feel like you've done it all and nothing sticks, you're not alone.This episode reveals the real reason kids stay stuck—and how calming the nervous system changes everything.Why is my child still struggling even after trying everything?If you're here, you've likely tried therapy, consequences, diet changes—even staying calm when it's really hard. And yet… your child is still struggling.Here's the truth: it's not that nothing works—it's that the nervous system hasn't been addressed first.When a child is dysregulated, their brain is in survival mode. That means:Thinking brain goes offlineStress chemistry takes overBehavior becomes reactive, not intentionalIt's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.Imagine trying to teach coping skills while your child feels like there's a “robber breaking in.” That's what dysregulation feels like internally.Why does my child go from calm to meltdown so quickly?That “0 to 60” reaction isn't random—it's a nervous system stuck in high alert.When the brain is dysregulated, it constantly asks:Am I safe?What should I do to survive this?Over time, the brain learns to expect stress, even in small moments like homework or being told “no.”You might notice:Low frustration toleranceBig emotional reactionsAnxiety that keeps growingReal-Life Example: One parent shared how mornings felt like a battle before the day even began—tears, shutdowns, and constant tension.Behavior is communication. And your child's behavior is saying, “My nervous system is overwhelmed.”If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.Why don't therapy, parenting strategies, or consequences work?Because most strategies assume your child can:Think logicallyUse coping skillsStay flexibleBut a dysregulated brain can't access those skills consistently—or at all.That's why you might see:Progress one day… gone the next“Good behavior” at school, but not at homeA child who can do it—but suddenly can'tLet's calm the brain first. Everything else follows.What actually helps a dysregulated child?The key is simple—but often missed:
