    Parenting relationships often feel heavy when pressure replaces presence. This episode helps you recognize the quiet shifts that happened this week and trust the relational changes unfolding without effort, force, or self-correction.This episode is an invitation to slow down and make meaning of what may have quietly shifted in your parenting this week.Not through effort.Not through strategy.But through reduced pressure.As you've moved through the recalibration stages, you may have noticed changes that didn't announce themselves loudly. Less reactivity. More steadiness. Interactions that felt cleaner, even if nothing “big” happened.This episode focuses on Horizontal Alignment — the stage where awareness integrates and meaning settles without being turned into action.In this conversation, we explore:How identity-level recalibration often shows up subtly inside real relationshipsWhy calm, ease, and reduced effort are legitimate signals of alignmentThe difference between monitoring change and trusting integrationHow nervous systems learn new reference points without needing proofWhy recognizing change does not obligate you to protect, explain, or escalate itThis is not mindset work.It's not productivity or behavioral correction.Identity-Level Recalibration works at the root — allowing pressure to release so your system can reorganize naturally. When identity is aligned, relationships don't need more effort. They need less load.Today's Micro Recalibration: Finish this sentence gently, without analysis: “One way I related differently this week was…”Let it count. Nothing else is required.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

    When parenting pressure finally eases but exhaustion lingers, it can feel confusing. This episode explores why calm doesn't mean disengagement and how ease often signals identity-level alignment rather than effort slipping.There is a moment many parents don't expect.Things begin to move forward.Conversations land more cleanly.Decisions take less energy.And somehow… you're not paying for it with yourself.Instead of relief, that calm can feel unsettling.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie explores what actually changes in parenting when you stop managing everything and why ease is not a sign of disengagement, but a signal of alignment returning.This conversation is especially resonant for high-capacity parents who have learned to equate leadership with vigilance and care with constant management.In this episode, we explore:• Why exhaustion often comes from over-management, not from caring too much• How regulated authority feels different from control or urgency• What Renewed Momentum looks like when identity is aligned• Why calm can be a legitimate signal of effectiveness, not a warning sign• How parenting begins to move forward without force or internal costThis is not about doing less because you care less.It's about doing less because less is required.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) is not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool work again. When identity is aligned, momentum no longer has to be managed. It moves on its own.Today's Micro Recalibration:Finish this sentence gently and honestly:“One place things feel easier than they used to is…”No justification.No minimizing.Just noticing.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

    Parenting relationships can feel strained when pressure rises and urgency takes over. This episode explores why staying present, even when you want to intervene, isn't disengagement but a sign of regulation and identity-level alignment returning.There is a moment many parents quietly recognize but rarely name.You see your child struggle.You feel the pull to intervene.And instead of stepping in, you stay.Not because you don't care.Not because you're disengaged.But because something in you knows this moment doesn't require urgency.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore what happens when presence replaces pressure in parenting. Not as a technique. Not as restraint. But as a regulated, identity-level expression of authority.This conversation sits at the intersection of relationships, nervous system regulation, and embodied leadership. It speaks to parents who have learned to equate love with involvement, safety with intervention, and authority with urgency — and are now sensing that something quieter is being asked of them.You'll hear why:The urge to step in often comes from learned over-responsibility, not wisdomStaying present is an active, regulated choice, not passivityAuthority becomes steadier when urgency loosensPresence changes the relational field, even when nothing is said or fixedThis episode reflects the core of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR): change that begins with who you are, not what you do. It's not mindset work. It's not productivity. It's the root-level realignment that allows clarity, trust, and leadership to emerge naturally.Rather than offering strategies, this episode offers orientation. Rather than pushing resolution, it invites recognition and reinforcement. And rather than instructing, it companions you through the lived experience of staying when old patterns would usually take over.Today's Micro Recalibration:Finish this sentence without evaluating it:“One moment I stayed present instead of stepping in was…”No fixing.No correcting.Just noticing what your system is already learning.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

    In this solo episode, I'm taking some time to pause, reflect, and look back on 45 years of life, growth, and learning—both on and off the run. I'm sharing the lessons that have shaped me as a runner, a coach, and a human, and the shifts that continue to guide how I show up today.I talk about how my relationship with health and fitness has evolved over the years—from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be strong, from restriction to truly fueling my body, and from chasing outcomes to learning how to enjoy the process. I share how letting go of the need to be right has opened the door to getting it right—especially when it comes to growth, grace, and self-awareness.This episode goes deeper than training, too. I reflect on moving from a victim mindset to taking ownership of my life, from searching for an identity to choosing one, and from constantly proving myself to trusting myself. I also get honest about the things I'm still working through—procrastination, accepting support, and caring less about other people's opinions.If you're in a season of transition, questioning old patterns, or feeling called to grow into a stronger, more aligned version of yourself, this episode is for you. My hope is that my reflections encourage you to pause, reflect, and give yourself permission to evolve, without needing to have it all figured out.Come hang out with me for a real, honest conversation that feels more like a coaching session for real life.Thanks for being here and running this journey with me.04:08 Embracing Strength Over Skinniness13:04 Fueling the Body with Love18:08 Trusting the Process Over Chasing Outcomes24:56 From Being Right to Getting It Right29:07 Parenting and Growth Mindset30:57 Shifting from Victim to Leader38:11 Choosing Your Identity43:06 Ongoing Personal DevelopmentJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

    In this January 2026 Month in Review, Through a Therapist's Eyes looks at how modern life is shaping our emotional health—from social media on trial to intimacy and parenting in a digital world. We discuss the growing legal cases comparing Big Tech to Big Tobacco and what it means to prove harm and addiction. We also revisit one-night stands, shifting the focus from morality to emotional impact, attachment, and what people are really hoping to feel afterward. Finally, we explore Parenting in the Information Age, examining how constant access to adult-level information affects kids and parents alike, and why emotional guidance matters more than simply limiting screens. This episode ties it all together with one key idea: emotional health comes from slowing things down, building awareness, and choosing connection on purpose.

    For more than a decade, Scheana Shay has lived her life in the public eye, on Vanderpump Rules, in headlines, and under constant scrutiny. But while the world watched one version of her story, a much harder one was unfolding behind closed doors. In this deeply honest sit-down, Scheana opens up about the reality she was carrying while cameras kept rolling. A traumatic, life-threatening birth. Debilitating postpartum OCD and intrusive thoughts that left her afraid of her own mind. And the moment she discovered her husband had cheated, while she was raising a young child and barely surviving herself.Scheana shares what it was like to endure all of this while being judged in real time. To hold herself together on set while falling apart at home. And, for the first time ever, the real reason she decided to stay in her marriage. This episode is a story of resilience. Of a woman rebuilding herself while the world dissected her choices. Of motherhood in its most vulnerable moments. Of mental health struggles that don't wrap up neatly.

    In this live Q&A episode, Uncle Joe and I tackle some of the heaviest—and most common—situations men face inside marriage: supporting a wife through serious mental health challenges, staying grounded when divorce is still on the table, and learning how to lead with consistency instead of panic.   We respond to real questions from men inside the Dad Edge Alliance who are walking through postpartum depression, PMDD, emotional volatility, and marital uncertainty. This conversation is about becoming an advocate instead of a victim, choosing consistency over crisis-mode behavior, and learning how to lead yourself well—regardless of whether your marriage outcome is guaranteed. If you're in a season where hope feels thin and the work feels exhausting, this episode will remind you what leadership actually looks like when things are hard.     Timeline Summary [000] Opening reflections on fatherhood, sleepless nights, and perspective [3:18] Setting expectations for live Q&A and imperfect conversations [4:41] Corey's question: supporting a wife with postpartum depression and PMDD [6:19] Understanding PMDD as a hormonal sensitivity disorder [8:33] Why mood shifts are not character flaws or choices [9:58] Becoming an advocate instead of minimizing mental health struggles [11:05] Practical leadership: nutrition, structure, and reducing stress [12:25] Why a man's emotional and spiritual health matters most in crisis [13:10] Research on spiritual disciplines and emotional regulation [14:11] Becoming a "merchant of hope" in your household [15:00] Why men must take care of their inner world first [16:02] Corey shares his early experience inside the Dad Edge Alliance [17:02] Playing the long game and resisting discouragement [18:07] Using brotherhood instead of isolation [18:48] Announcement: Dad Edge Alliance preview call [20:15] Where to find episode resources and symptom notes [21:05] Second question: staying consistent while divorce is still mentioned [24:56] Identifying behaviors that contributed to marital breakdown [26:04] Why wives wait to see if change is real [27:16] Consistency as a non-negotiable value [28:46] Doing the work regardless of outcome [31:01] Why self-led change benefits you no matter what [32:24] Showing up as a grounded, playful, present father [33:37] Why it often gets worse before it gets better     Five Key Takeaways Mental health struggles are not character flaws, and leadership starts with education and empathy. Consistency builds trust, especially when a spouse is waiting for the "other shoe to drop." Men must do the work for themselves first, not as a strategy to save a marriage. Hope is contagious, but only if the man leading the home is grounded and regulated. Brotherhood prevents isolation, especially when marriage feels uncertain.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call (RSVP): https://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Alliance (Marriage, Parenting, Health, Leadership): https://thedadedge.com/alliance All Episode Notes & Symptom Resources (Google Doc): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_4GeLtmhvbZg-ZzKvBWQyz5aneCcHCYOYfD-r0uzNnE/edit?usp=sharing Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1435     Closing Remark If you're walking through a season where leadership feels heavy and outcomes feel uncertain, remember this: your consistency, integrity, and growth still matter.

    Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us? Why do we assume the worst about him / her? What causes us to get so defensive? Why do we get so offensive in our reactions? Are the offenses we carry worth it? Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.” But what's more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.” In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse's shoulder.” With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together. Time Stamps:0:00 Dr. Emerson Eggerichs joins the show2:31 Where Love and Respect and the crazy cycle began8:21 How to interpret the crazy cycle in your relationship19:40 The ah-ha moment of 80/20 and the lens from which we view our spouse27:08 Looking at God over the spouse of your shoulder29:32 Your marriage within the Kingdom of God34:45 Victimhood, offense, and finding freedom in Christ44:44 Being offended by God and the power of a forgiving spirit48:55 The 2 degree shift that can change your marriage52:45 How to get your husband to pray with you Show Notes:Get Light Bulb Moments in Marriage by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4t9WAfP Get Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichshttps://amzn.to/4kiuAmg Interested in our 8-week Love Your Marriage Cohort?

    What happens when you realize your children's mistakes aren't yours to fix?I recently found myself in an emotional parenting moment — a serious conversation with my two oldest children, ages 18 and 19, that stayed with me long after it ended. As a father, I thought I was being firm, even harsh… but what I really uncovered was one of the hardest truths of fatherhood:You can love your children deeply… and still have to let them go.As a dad of 11 children, I've spent more than two decades learning — and re-learning — what it means to show up with unconditional love. Parenting at this scale teaches you quickly: you can guide, you can mentor, you can be present… but you cannot walk the path for them.There's a balance between unconditional love and tough love. Between wanting to protect them and realizing they need space to fail, to struggle, and to grow into who they're meant to become.I've also come to understand that so much of our stress as parents comes from expectations — expecting our kids to move on our timeline, to make the choices we think are best, to avoid the pain we've already lived through.But once you accept reality for what it is, the tension eases. You remember: this isn't about control. It's about trust.This episode is a reminder that parenting isn't about saving our children from life — it's about being a stable, grounded presence while they learn to live it.Like this episode?

    Ever wonder why no becomes your child's default response? It's rarely defiance—often, it's their nervous system seeking safety. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, explains how to understand and respond to these stress signals with calm, confidence, and clarity. Feeling like every request to your child is met with an automatic “No”? You're not alone. Many parents feel like they're raising a defiant child, but often, what you're seeing is a nervous system protecting itself—not a power struggle.In this episode, I break down why “No” becomes your child's default response and how you can respond with calm, strategy, and empathy.Why does my child say no to everything, even the things they like?For many kids, “No” is a self-protective shield, not rebellion. When a child's brain senses pressure, unpredictability, or tasks that feel overwhelming, it reacts with an automatic refusal. Many default parents—often the parent who is primarily responsible for daily child-related tasks—feel the weight of this automatically, sometimes experiencing default parent resentment toward the other parent, especially if one is a stay-at-home parent and the other parent works full-time.Cultural gender norms can also shape who ends up carrying more of the emotional labor, adding to stress and fatigue.Demand sensitivity triggers immediate “No” responses, especially in children with anxiety, ADHD, or trauma histories.Low autonomy makes children feel powerless, so saying “No” restores a sense of control.Cognitive overload and unclear tasks lead to avoidance, not defiance.Parent example: Matthew shared that his daughter refused brushing teeth, getting dressed, and even dessert. By slowing down commands and giving small choices—like “Do you want socks first or shoes first?”—her nervous system felt safe, and the automatic “No” faded.How can I stop taking “No” personally as a parent?It's easy for default parents or primary caregivers to feel attacked. Remember: it's not disrespect—it's the brain signaling stress. Many parents, especially many moms, notice they carry the bulk of the daily emotional labor and often need more support from their co-parent or family network.Regulate first: Your calm tone, posture, and pacing invite cooperation.Reduce pressure: Less rushing, fewer demands, smaller instructions.Offer mini control: Simple choices like “Do homework before or after snack?” help buffer the “No.”When your child is dysregulated, it's easy to feel helpless.The Regulation Rescue Kit gives you scripts and strategies to stay grounded and in control.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and get your free kit...

    If you're a mom today, chances are you've asked yourself some version of this question: "Why does my child melt down over the smallest things; and what am I supposed to do in the moment?" You're not alone. Parents are overwhelmed by big emotions, unpredictable reactions, and advice that sounds good in theory but falls apart in real life. Being told to "use your words" in the middle of a meltdown rarely works. Ignoring behavior feels wrong. And consequences without connection often make things worse. What parents are really looking for are strategies that work in kitchens, cars, grocery stores, and bedrooms at bedtime, not just in parenting books. Let's talk about what actually helps children regulate their emotions, why it works, and how you can use it consistently in everyday moments. In today's episode of Equipped To Be Connie covers: How to Regulate Your Emotions, Relate to Your Child, So You Can Redirect Your Child. -->Behavior Is Communication, Not Defiance Before any strategy can help, parents need one stabilizing reframe. -->Big Emotions Are a Signal, Not a Character Flaw Emotional regulation always starts with the parent. -->A Dysregulated Parent Cannot Regulate a Dysregulated Child -->Relate Before You Redirect Connection is what opens the door to cooperation. -->Naming Feelings Helps the Brain Settle -->Redirect with Clear, Simple Expectations When emotions run high, less language is more effective.

    When nervous system regulation replaces pressure, parental clarity returns. If parenting feels confusing or heavy despite your effort, this episode explores why clarity isn't lost — it's crowded — and how identity-level recalibration brings it back online.There is a particular kind of exhaustion parents rarely name — the fatigue of no longer trusting your own knowing.In this episode of The Recalibration, we move into the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration — the moment when clarity begins to return, not because you worked harder, but because pressure eased.In this episode, we explore:Why parenting confusion is often a sign of nervous system overload, not a lack of wisdomHow sustained pressure crowds out discernment, even in capable, thoughtful parentsWhat begins to return when regulation replaces vigilanceWhy clarity often comes back quietly and without effortHow identity-level recalibration differs from mindset work, behavior change, or productivity strategiesWhat it feels like when your system starts trusting itself againThroughout Season Four, we're practicing recalibration inside real areas of life rather than discussing it abstractly. This week's focus is parenting — understood broadly, from the child lens, the parent lens, or both.When nervous system load decreases:Perspective widensValues become easier to accessDecisions take less energyYou stop rehearsing and start sensing what mattersThis episode gently reframes confusion as information — evidence that your system has been carrying too much for too long.This is not mindset work.It's not optimization.And it's not about becoming someone new.Identity-Level Recalibration begins with who you are, not what you do — because when identity is aligned, clarity doesn't need to be forced. It returns.Today's Micro Recalibration:Notice one place where clarity feels a little more accessible than it did before.No analysis. No explanation.

    Parenting a spicy child can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting, especially when traditional parenting advice just doesn't work. In this episode, Mary Van Geffen joins us to talk about what it really means to parent a strong-willed, spirited, intense child without losing yourself or crushing their spirit.So often, as moms, we unknowingly tie our identity and worth to how our children behave. When our kids are calm, compliant, or successful, we feel like we are doing a good job. When they are loud, explosive, or struggling, we internalize it as failure. Parenting a spicy child brings this tension to the surface and forces us to ask deeper questions about where our identity really comes from. This conversation invites moms to loosen their grip on performance-based parenting and remember that our value is not measured by our child's behavior, but by who we are and whose we are. Here is some of what we cover:  How to stay connected to your child so you can guide them long-term A practical calm down recipe for flare-ups and explosive moments How to set boundaries without crushing your child's spirit Why you are not responsible for your child's happiness How to support the mild child in a family with a spicy sibling Connect with Mary Van Geffen:  Instagram:
