Why does modern parenting feel so difficult? If a chimpanzee knows what to do without reading a hundred parenting books, why doesn't it just come naturally? Science journalist and author Elizabeth Preston is the author of The Creatures' Guide to Caring: How Animal Parents Teach Us That Humans Were Born to Care. Drawing from animal behavior, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience, this book explains why studying the parenting of every species from poison frogs to bonobos, from rats to birds, can remind us how human parenting is supposed to work—and how parental anxiety may result from the belief we were ever supposed to do things differently. In this episode, we discuss: Why humans are “cooperative breeders” Why maternal anxiety and hypervigilance is an evolutionary advantage, not a personal failure The truth about “mom brain” and what actually happens to the brain during pregnancy Why fathers and non-biological caregivers are equally capable of deep caregiving The role of alloparenting and why kids benefit from many trusted adults Why caregiving is central to what makes us human Here's where you can find Elizabeth: https://elizabethgpreston.com/ @by.elizabeth.preston on IG https://elizabethgpreston.substack.com/ Buy THE CREATURES' GUIDE TO CARING: https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9780593657102 What Fresh Hell is co-hosted by Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables.

For generations, mothers have been asked to carry an outsized share of the unpaid, invisible, and logistical labor that keeps families functioning. From caregiving and mental load to emotional labor and school forms, modern motherhood has been shaped by systems that quietly assume women will fill the gaps — at home, at work, and in society.   But the cultural narrative is shifting — and parents, companies, and communities are rewriting the playbook in real time.   Join us for Rewriting the Parenting Playbook: Honoring Moms, Empowering Families, a conversation about how caregiving expectations are changing, why the old model was never sustainable, and what it looks like to build family systems that honor ambition, equity, and shared responsibility.   Our panel brings together leaders advancing this movement from three distinct but interconnected angles — childcare access, domestic labor equity, and narrative change.   We'll explore: ✨ Why the traditional parenting model was built around assumptions that no longer match modern family life ✨ How childcare, workplace flexibility, and economic policy shape family decisions ✨ The Fair Play framework and how it changes division of labor at home ✨ The emotional and identity realities of mothers as both caregivers and earners ✨ How storytelling and representation accelerate cultural change ✨ What support actually empowers families — and what remains missing Meet the Panelists: Joan Nguyen, Co-Founder & CEO, Bumo Eve Rodsky, Founder, Fair Play Policy Institute & Author of Fair Play Kanika Chadda Gupta, Journalist & Host, Total Mom Sense Whether you're a parent, partner, policymaker, or simply someone invested in healthier family systems, this event will offer both clarity and momentum — and remind us that none of this change is happening by accident. WHAT IS AUGGIE? The most trusted community for parents to find the answers. Inside the app, parents get stage-specific guidance, expert content, on-demand events, and a supportive network that reduces the mental load of figuring everything out alone Learn more about your ad choices.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn this episode, David Epstein explores a powerful idea: constraints don't limit us – they make us better.Drawing from his book Inside the Box, he explains why too much freedom often leads to overwhelm, indecision, and worse outcomes. Whether it's creativity, productivity, or everyday decisions, we perform better when we narrow the field and work within clear boundaries.Through stories – from failed tech startups with too many ideas to elite performers who thrive under restrictions – he shows how constraints help us prioritize, think differently, and follow through. Even creativity, he argues, doesn't come from endless freedom, but from being boxed in just enough to spark better solutions.If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or overloaded with choices, this episode offers a simple reframe: you don't need more options – just better constraints.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow constraints improve creativity, focus, and performanceWhy too much choice leads to overwhelm and worse decisionsWhy creativity thrives with fewer optionsHow distractions are training your brain to lose focusWhy doing less often leads to better resultsKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro – Constraints, Overwhelm, and Why This Matters(3:37) Meet David Epstein(6:19) From Range to Constraints(8:18) The Dizziness of Freedom(12:05) The Creativity Myth(14:04) The Green Eggs and Ham Effect(16:32) Constraints-Led Approach Skill Learning(19:38) Futsal & Constraints in Sport(21:16) The General Magic Story(32:53) HARKing in Science(51:51) Think Slow, Act Fast(55:57) Creativity vs. Originality(1:00:26) Constraints in Parenting(1:10:19) Commitment Devices(1:16:06) Make Your Commitments Visible(1:16:52) Reclaiming Your Attention(1:21:49) Book Recommendation & ClosingHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, Momentous, Vitality, and Kreatures of Habit

Summary: Before Jess Hilarious ever had dreams of telling jokes in front of sold-out arenas across the country, being featured on Wild-’n-Out, or becoming a cohost on The Breakfast Club, Jess dreamt of marrying her high school sweetheart and raising a family together in their hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor. ---------------------------------------- GOOD VIBES RETREAT INFO

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks parenting's presence-over-profits traps, urban homeschool escapes, abuse-media distortions and legal power rifts to forge accountability virtue and free-will bonds for unbreakable family steel.Questions:What do you think about sidehustles after having kids? I tried but cannot fathom how one combines it with kids.With your years of fighting the good fight for non aggression and peaceful parenting, do you see societal progress on these fronts, is it moving the other direction, or is it about the same?Stefan, do you think it's possible to raise strong, moral children in a large urban area today?With the constant distractions, negative influences, and government schooling, I believe it's extremely difficult if not impossible. What are your thoughts?If women are unfriendly towards other women who are more attractive and intelligent than themselves (‘'more attractive' women experience more aggression and sabotage from other women per research) how does the female status hierarchy work? Is it self defeating/rewards mediocrity?Is retirement devastating for most people?When does patience stop being a virtue?Are we obligated to tip dealers at casinos when you win?I don't gamble but to me this makes no sense. They don't tip you when you lose and you still have to pay taxes on that money.I want to know what you think about the prevalence of young female domestic abusers. I have no data, but in my opinion, it seems to be dramatically rising.You seemed to say the poor lack empathy towards the rich, with their wealth tax in NY/California. But the rich have funded this communism for 100 years. The ford foundation, hewlett foundation, soros, Hearst foundation, the bill gates foundation and many more. The rich are evilWhen is it ok to seek revenge? If you are rude to a waiter is he justified in spitting on your food?Why do ‘ high' IQ' folks tend to be the most gullible and authoritarian as Eric Hoffer described - the tyranny of the intellectuals?When is it OK to lie?Where does free will end and determinism begin?What would you tell a successful 38 year old man who can't find a good wife? Man makes $400k a year, lives in a nice townhouse in a nice town in the USA, works out 4 days a week.What should I read to know more about theatre? Are there non acting theatre degrees?Do you think AI slop on social media will ruin the addictive hooks integrated into social media in a way that makes people minimize their social media use, meaning the next generation might be better off mentally?

Have you ever had a conversation with a loved one go in a completely different direction than what you saw coming? Your intention was there, but the way your loved one received it was nothing in the way you intended it?  Our good friend, Jason VanRuler, started to see this pattern in many of the people he had come into therapy. Conversations between people -- where everything was at stake -- and the intentions were there, but someone inevitably walked away feeling hurt, unseen, or even abandoning the relationship altogether. What one person meant isn't what the other person heard. So Jason asked himself, “Why does it sometimes land well, and other times not?”The more research he did, the more he learned predictable patterns that led to 5 primary communication types: Peace, Advocate, Thinking, Harbor, and Spark. Each one with a strength and each one with an opportunity. Not only that, each person has their own primary and secondary type. In this episode, Jason unveils each type, how we develop our own, and how we can better understand how our spouse, kids, and loved ones communicate with us. We get into marital dynamics and why we usually marry someone with similar secondary type, but the trouble that can arise when we realize we don't have the same primary one. We also talk about how knowing the types can help us communicate at a deeper level with our kids. Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:18 Jason VanRuler joins the show!4:34 Why these communication types matters 6:00 Jason introduces the 5 PATHS of communication11:16 Where our personal communication style comes from 14:05 Strengths and weaknesses of each communication type 20:20 The communication types in our children and how we give what we didn't get25:05 How different communication types serve us in marriage Show Notes: Get Jason's new book Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths to Deeper Connections and Stronger Relationships: https://amzn.to/4sZzbwc Check out Jason's website: www.jasonvr.comReserve your seat for Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort beginning August 17, 2026: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/V75F6bY2Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

Parenting can feel so much harder than it needs to—not because you're doing anything wrong, but because most of what you've been taught focuses on controlling your kids instead of connecting with them. In this episode, I'm sharing the parenting rules I actually live by as a mom of three and a mom coach—rules that prioritize connection first, so everything else in parenting gets easier. This is the foundation for raising kids you have a strong relationship with, not just now, but for the long term.        FREE Breaking Up With Overwhelm Private Podcast Subscribe   WORK WITH ME 1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)   2.

In Episode 45 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry and Terry Peer continue their powerful series on Parenting a Prodigal—diving deeper into what happens when someone walks away from their values… and what it really takes to come back. This episode focuses on the turning point—the moment Jesus described in Luke 15 as “when he came to his senses.” What leads someone to that place? Why do some prodigals have to hit rock bottom? And what role do humility and repentance play in true life change? Through real-life application and biblical truth, this conversation offers hope and clarity for anyone dealing with a prodigal—whether it's a child, friend, or even your own story. You'll also hear a powerful Lester's Feet segment showing how generosity is changing lives in real, tangible ways. This episode is brought to you by our partners: - Heartwood Planning Group - Coonless Feeders - WiseEye Technologies - Green Prairie Seed Company WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why prodigals often have to hit rock bottom before change happens The six stages of the prodigal journey: Fed up → Free → Famished → Filthy → Foolish → Finished What it truly means to “come to your senses” Why enabling a prodigal can actually delay their return The difference between surface regret vs. real repentance (metanoia) How humility unlocks God's grace What parents should be praying for during this journey CONNECT WITH US Website: https://www.chasingassurance.com Study Guides & Resources available on the site Speaking Requests available through the website STUDY GUIDE Follow along with this episode using the study guide available on our website to go deeper into scripture and application. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/utgjxw5sggs5qkn4y4vap/Study-Guide-Chasing-Assurance-44.pdf?rlkey=wprt7vch40nyp7ndmj0bw44ut&dl=0 DISCLAIMER The views expressed in this podcast are for spiritual encouragement and biblical teaching.

In this episode, John and Arvin discuss what is perhaps the most behind the scenes topic in the history of the podcast. What is it like to inherit the wins and losses of the past while seeking God for what He intends to do through you in the future?Parenting, Church-life, and an all-consuming, all-hands on deck approach to living out your God-given destiny will force a person to reckon with their internal world. John and Arvin hope this episode will equip any listener with the potential strategy they can use to step into the future God wants for humanity (and take their loved ones with them).

Grab a frothy coffee and pull up a chair as we chat about big picture parenting. We're leaning into the idea that childhood is just the prologue, focusing on how we can move from "authority" to "influence" by giving our kids the autonomy they need to grow. By creating non-judgmental spaces and forging bonds that actually stick, we're laying a foundation today for a true friendship with the adults they are becoming. It's all about being intentional in the messy, ordinary rhythms of life so that the door stays wide open for a lifetime. After all, building these forever-connections is exactly why these are the good days.THE SHOW NOTESThanks for being a part of our podcast community!

If you're a parent, do you remember one day when you had fun with your kids doing things that weren't tied down to going on a (rare) yearly vacation or a holiday gathering?Unfortunately, most parents are living the lives of event planners, carting their kids from home to school, birthday parties, recitals, large family gatherings and too many youth sports and hardly anyone is having any fun (or getting much sleep).Do you want to parent your kids in a more holistic, connected way that teaches them how to be their best selves and allows you to live your best life too?

In this solo episode, I take you into my comments section, where a listener called my parenting content "snowflake." I use it as a doorway into what Positive Discipline actually looks like with tweens and teens — why kind AND firm isn't soft, why consequences don't build skills, and how curiosity under the iceberg shifts how we show up. If you're raising an adolescent and tired of the "kick in the butt" narrative, this episode is for you.

Some parents are devastated to hear, “It’s a boy.”Not disappointed - devastated. In this confronting episode, we unpack the rising fear around raising boys, where it’s coming from, and the dangerous story we’re starting to believe. Are boys really the problem… or are we shaping them that way? This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about gender, parenting, and the future of our kids. KEY POINTS: Why “gender disappointment” is shifting toward boys The cultural fears driving anxiety about raising sons How low expectations quietly shape boys’ behaviour What boys are actually craving from adults (it’s not what you think) Why strong family culture matters more than social narratives The simple but powerful role parents play in raising good humans QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Boys aren’t the problem. They’re the solution.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Boys: Building Strong Young Men from the Inside Out (pre-order here) Research and commentary on gender disappointment Parenting support resources for perinatal mental health: PANDA Gidget Foundation ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Challenge your own assumptions about boys and behaviour Focus on values over stereotypes - raise a good human first Create a home culture that prioritises safety, strength, and kindness Speak belief into your child - don’t let fear define them Model the behaviour you want them to grow into See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the identities we no longer need, the alchemy of recovery, and mourning the person we used to be.  (0:00) – Introduction and Background of Allison Derani (2:13) – Allison's Journey and Grief in Recovery (5:21) – Parenting and Self-Abandonment (7:04) – The Ambiguous Grief of Self-Abandonment (7:50) – The Liminal Space of Sobriety (18:39) – The Importance of Listening to Questions (22:57) – The Practice of Slowing Down (25:21) – Closing Thoughts and Future Plans Allison Deraney is a woman in recovery from alcohol who credits sobriety for waking her back up to her first passion—writing. Currently a licensed real estate attorney, running her own business, she's writing more creativity into her days via her Substack, Dare To Be, and working on her first book, a memoir about the healing and revealing as we recover from the ambiguous loss of self-abandonment. Dedicated to speaking up and speaking out about living a conscious sober life, Allison lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two kids, and two rescue dogs, spending her free time wandering and wondering in nature, and cheering her kids on from the sidelines of the basketball court. Allison's book-to-be is about grief; not the traditional kind, though there is some of that in there. The biggest lesson she's learned in recovery is this: Rejecting grief, in all its iterations, is a form of self-abandonment. Grief requires that we surrender to it. So does addiction, compulsion of perfection and aging. It's a book that explores how my midlife journey is intersecting with the deeper parts of recovery in the most terrifying and beautiful way. It's a unique book in that it is written during the transformation. Because I am still in it. Sobriety has been my portal to Divinity and I'm here, feet planted on the threshold, weaving words to capture the experience as best I can. https://allisonderaney.substack.com Here are Allison's three favorite posts from her Substack, DARE TO BE, out of an immense pull to write through her sobriety. https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/setting-off-our-own-fireworks-a95?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/its-been-a-whole-hand?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonderaney/p/my-permission-sticks-they-still-keep?r=rkt4u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

In this captivating episode of the Meditative Prayers podcast, hosted by the honorable Dr. Tim Clinton and accessible on Pray.com, we delve into the profound theme of honoring our roles as parents—an endeavor that deeply resonates within our Christian community. Throughout our parenting journey, there are moments when upholding our duty as parents and nurturing our children's well-being becomes our paramount mission.

The comforting truth remains unchanging: with the Lord as our steadfast guide, we possess the innate ability to honor our roles as parents, discovering renewed love and purpose in our parenting journey. Drawing profound inspiration from sacred scriptures, we embark on an exploration of this transformative parental experience.Embracing the practice of praying before slumber is more than just a routine; it's an avenue to recenter your heart, aligning it with God's purpose.

Dr. Gail Post, the psychologist behind the popular Gifted Challenge blog, joins me to talk about her book, The Gifted Parenting Journey: A Guide to Self-discovery and Support for Families of Gifted Children, which combines research, theory, and clinical experience, and extends her advocacy efforts to address the needs of parents of gifted children. In this episode, we dive into the realities of parenting gifted and 2e kids — the common challenges parents experience as part of their journey, why it can sometimes feel uncomfortable to celebrate our child's accomplishments with others and how that impacts our kids and us, and how to handle our own expectations and pressures we may feel because of our child's unique learning profile. We also explore what many families of gifted kids' experience as a complicated relation with the word “potential,” as well as how we as parents can manage our own uncomfortable emotions that may arise in parenting our kids, including anxiety, envy, and guilt.   ABOUT GAIL Gail Post, Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist, parenting coach and consultant, workshop leader, and writer. She is also a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in practice for over 35 years, she provides psychotherapy with a focus on the needs of the intellectually and musically gifted and twice-exceptional, parenting coaching and workshops, and consultation with educators and psychotherapists. Dr. Post is the parent of two gifted young adults and served as co-chair of a gifted parents advocacy group when her children were in school. THINGS YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE The common challenges parents raising gifted and 2e kids may experience as part of their journey Why parents of gifted kids feel intense pressure surrounding their child's educational path and how that can negatively impact families Why the word “potential” is a loaded one for many families, and how parents can change their relationship with this concept Why anxiety is common amongst parents raising gifted or 2e kids The unique challenges BIPOC parents raising gifted kids face Why self-awareness is the roadmap to attuned parenting when raising gifted and 2e kids About Gail PostThings you'll learn from this episode Learn more about your ad choices.
