“There's no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.” These are statements made by Anna Kepner's grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna's grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother. The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna's murder. They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna's biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna's murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other's hands.Anna's father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect.    This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The holidays are supposed to be magical. They're also loud, overstimulating, emotionally charged, and somehow happening every single day for a month straight. So this episode? This one's for the parents who are hanging on by a thread of tinsel. In this Holiday Confessions special, Kristin and Tyler are dropping the filters and saying the quiet parts out loud — the hot takes, the opinions you're not supposed to have, the moments you feel guilty for even thinking.We laugh. A lot. We admit things we probably shouldn't. And we give you full permission to stop trying to make December look like a commercial. Because your kids don't need perfect holidays. They need you — the real you. The one who's tired, trying, showing up, and doing their absolute best. This episode is your reminder that: Lowering the bar doesn't ruin the magic. It's usually where the magic actually lives.Pour the coffee. Hide in the pantry. Pop in your earbuds. We've got you

In July 2011, after killing Mary-Jo and Blake Hadley, Tyler invited dozens of friends over, blasted music, drank, danced, and posed for photos, even showing a friend the bodies of his murdered parents. The crime shocked investigators not only for its violence, but for the chilling lack of remorse and the surreal normalcy that followed the gruesome crime. This case isn't just about patricide; it's about a young person struggling with severe internal distress that ultimately manifested in unimaginable violence - and two innocent parents who paid the ultimate price.

Are you exhausted from the nonstop “That's mine!” “Stop touching me!” “It's not fair!” battles—and you're wondering what to say in the moment without yelling or punishing?What if sibling fights weren't something you “managed”… but something you could actually heal at the root—with simple scripts that build emotional strength, self-awareness, and better behavior over time?In this video, Greg & Rachel Denning (extraordinary parents of 7, world travelers, and family coaches) share real-life, word-for-word scripts for the most common sibling conflict triggers—from toddlers to teens—including fighting over toys, possessions, personal space, copying/mimicking, fairness, name-calling, snapping, blaming, and even aggression.You'll learn how to stop doing “symptom management” and instead resolve the underlying causes—so conflict doesn't become your family's daily culture. The Dennings break down their calm, connected approach: validate first, teach the principle, role-play the skill, and use natural consequences (without harshness).Key Takeaways:✅ Stuff is never worth the relationship — don't let toys, beds, or “my space” become a source of ongoing conflict.✅ Start with validation — calm the emotion first without picking sides so kids feel seen and can actually listen.✅ Teach the cause, not just the moment — long-term change happens when you heal the “infection,” not just manage the symptom.✅ Use identity-based coaching — “Who do you want to be?” helps kids self-correct and choose maturity.✅ Build self-awareness on purpose — asking “How does that make you feel?” trains kids to notice bitterness vs. connection.✅ Separate together, not alone — when a child can't calm down, you don't banish them… you co-regulate and help them reset.✅ Hold hard boundaries on big domino behaviors — name-calling, insulting, and aggression must stop because they poison family culture.✅ Use natural consequences that teach — consequences should be connected, agreed on (when possible), and strong enough to create change.Memorable Quotes:

Your kid is technically an adult, but still looking for–or needing–parental guidance. And maybe you still have your own parents weighing in, too. Parenting through this “in-between” stage can be complicated: How much guidance is too much? When do you let go? How do you stay close without taking over? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan welcome Dr. Laurence Steinberg to discuss his book “You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together in Challenging Times.” Together they discuss how parents can make sense of the shifting roles that come with launching young adults while also managing relationships with aging parents. It's a heartfelt, insightful look at what it means to be part of the “sandwich generation” today.

Parents consistently told us this conversation changed the way they approached feeding, eased stress at mealtimes, and helped them feel more confident introducing solid foods.

In this episode of "Discovering Grayslake," recorded at The Loop Marketing, the hosts welcome Jennifer Everett, president of Foundation 46 and a Grayslake Middle School reading specialist. Jennifer shares how Foundation 46 supports local teachers and students through flexible grants, fundraising events like Barn Fest, and community activities such as school scavenger hunts. The conversation highlights the importance of community involvement, employer donation matching, and volunteering. Listeners are encouraged to attend events, apply for grants, and help spread the word, all working together to strengthen Grayslake's hometown spirit and support its schools. How Foundation 46 Empowers Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Community-Driven Educational Support Grayslake is more than just a town—it's a community where neighbors look out for each other, and where local organizations like Foundation 46 are making a real difference in the lives of teachers, students, and families. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, recorded at The Loop Marketing at the end of Center Street and Lake, we sat down with Jennifer Everett, a seventh-grade reading specialist at Grayslake Middle School and the current president of Foundation 46. Jennifer, along with our hosts, shared invaluable insights into how Foundation 46 operates, the impact it has, and how every community member can get involved. This blog post unpacks the main themes and actionable tips from the episode, offering a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in supporting education in Grayslake. Whether you're a teacher, parent, business owner, or simply a neighbor who cares, there's a role for you in this hometown effort. What is Foundation 46? Foundation 46 is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting teachers and students in Grayslake's District 46. Through grants, fundraising events, and community partnerships, the foundation provides resources and opportunities that go beyond what the school budget can cover. Their mission is simple: empower educators, enrich student experiences, and strengthen the community. 1. Flexible, Teacher-Friendly Grants: Fueling Creativity in the Classroom How the Grant Program Works One of the standout features of Foundation 46 is its open, rolling grant application process. Unlike many grant programs that have rigid deadlines, Foundation 46 allows teachers to apply whenever inspiration strikes. Applications are reviewed monthly, making it easier for busy educators to access funding when they need it most. Types of Grants: Project Grants:** $500–$1,000 for classroom projects, materials, or programs. Impact Grants:** Over $1,000 for larger, collaborative, or cross-school initiatives. Application Process: Teachers submit a Google Form detailing their project, its goals, and the number of students impacted. The Foundation uses a rubric to ensure fair, transparent evaluation. If more information is needed, teachers are encouraged to revise and resubmit—Foundation 46 is committed to helping ideas succeed, not just rubber-stamping or rejecting applications. Actionable Tips for Teachers Don't Wait for the "Perfect" Idea:** If you see a need in your classroom, apply! The process is designed to be supportive, not intimidating. Collaborate Across Schools:** Projects that benefit multiple classrooms or schools are especially encouraged. Think Beyond Supplies:** Past grants have funded everything from sensory kits and STEM materials to author visits and family reading nights. Reapply if Needed:** If your application isn't approved the first time, use the feedback to strengthen your proposal and try again. Expert Insight Jennifer Everett emphasizes, "We want to say yes. If you have a creative idea that will benefit students, we're here to help you make it happen." 2. Fundraising with Heart: Barn Fest and Beyond Barn Fest: The Signature Event Barn Fest is Foundation 46's biggest annual fundraiser, held at Jessie Oaks. It's an adult-only evening packed with fun—think mechanical bull rides, live music from Stu the Piano Guy, games, drink specials, and both live and silent auctions. The event is more than just a party; it's a chance for the whole community to rally behind local schools. Key Features: Affordable Tickets:** $25 for teachers, $40 for community members (includes dinner). Community Awards:** The Tom Mescal Award honors outstanding contributors. Unique Auction Items:** From rides in fire trucks to airplane experiences, the auction is always a highlight. Themed Fun:** This year's "Denim and Diamonds" theme blends country charm with a touch of sparkle. Other Fundraising Initiatives Dine-In Shares:** Local restaurants like The Vine and Black Lung host special nights where a portion of proceeds goes to Foundation 46. Scavenger Hunts:** Family-friendly events at local schools encourage exploration and community spirit. Sponsorships:** Local businesses can sponsor events or donate auction items, gaining visibility and goodwill. Actionable Tips for Community Members Attend Events:** Your ticket directly supports grants for teachers. Donate Auction Items:** Unique experiences or services are always in demand. Sponsor a Fundraiser:** Businesses can make a big impact and connect with local families. Host a Dine-In Share:** Restaurant owners, consider partnering with Foundation 46 for a win-win event. Expert Insight Jennifer notes, "We want Barn Fest to be a celebration for everyone, not just teachers. The more the community gets involved, the more we can do for our schools." 3. Maximizing Impact: Employer Matching and Volunteer Power Employer Matching: Double (or Triple) Your Donation Many local companies—including AbbVie, Allstate, Cardinal Health, CDW, First Midwest Bank, Granger, Kraft, Discover, and Motorola—offer matching gift programs. This means your donation to Foundation 46 could be doubled or even tripled, at no extra cost to you. How to Take Advantage: Check with HR:** Ask your employer if they match charitable donations. Submit Your Receipt:** Even event tickets may qualify as a donation. Spread the Word:** Encourage coworkers to participate. Real-World Example: At last year's Barn Fest, a $1,000 donation was matched by Granger, resulting in a $3,000–$4,000 total impact. Volunteering: The Heartbeat of Foundation 46 Like many nonprofits, Foundation 46 relies on a core group of dedicated volunteers—but they're always looking for more hands and fresh ideas. Ways to Volunteer: Join the Board:** Meetings are open to the public, held the first Thursday of each month at Frederick School's Falcon Room. Help at Events:** From setup to auction management, there's a role for everyone. Spread the Word:** Share Foundation 46's mission on social media or within your school community. Jennifer's Wish: "If even a small percentage of our 500 district employees volunteered, we'd have an incredible team. Every bit helps." 4. Expanding the Mission: Scholarships and Community Engagement New Initiatives: Student Scholarships Starting in 2026, Foundation 46 plans to offer student scholarships to help cover costs like sports fees for families in need. This expansion reflects a commitment to supporting not just teachers, but students and their families as well. Community-Building Activities School Scavenger Hunts:** Inspired by Jennifer's own experiences, these events encourage families to explore local schools and connect with each other. Family Reading Nights and Author Visits:** Funded by grants, these programs foster a love of learning and bring the community together. Actionable Tips for Families Participate in Events:** Bring your family to scavenger hunts and reading nights. Apply for Scholarships:** If you need help with extracurricular costs, watch for upcoming opportunities. Stay Informed:** Follow Foundation 46 on social media and sign up for newsletters. 5. How to Get Involved: Your Next Steps For Teachers: Apply for a grant—no idea is too small or too big. Collaborate with colleagues for cross-school projects. For Parents and Community Members: Attend Barn Fest and other events. Volunteer your time or skills. Donate or secure auction items. Check if your employer offers matching gifts. For Local Businesses: Sponsor an event or donate services. Host a dine-in share night. For Everyone: Share Foundation 46's mission on social media. Encourage friends and neighbors to get involved. Attend a board meeting to learn more.

Earlier this month, and just in time for Christmas, Focus on the Family made a fun announcement: an upcoming theatrical adaptation of Adventures in Odyssey. Dubbed Journey Into The Impossible, this 3D animated film will explore the town of Odyssey before the establishment of Whit's End. What kinds of adventures will a young John Avery Whittaker enjoy? (This special episode was recorded live.) Episode sponsors Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queen A Faie Tale by Vince Mancuso MYTH: Reign of the Immortals by J. F.

Sheehan Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild Quotes and notes ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? , Lorehaven, Dec. 4 ‘Adventures in Odyssey' Goes to the Movies? Adventures in Odyssey is releasing a new animated feature film. The working title is Journey into the Impossible. It’s scheduled for a theatrical release in fall 2026. Unlike previous video releases, this film is canon to the audio drama timeline. It serves as a prequel set years before the main series. The film will focus on a younger John Avery Whittaker (Whit), his wife Jenny, and their son Jason. The movie will feature 3D animation stylized with a “2D storybook appearance.” Creators say this will blend modern production quality with a nostalgic visual aesthetic. The project is led by long-time Adventures in Odyssey showrunner Dave Arnold. It also features work by former Disney animator John Pomeroy, ensuring faithfulness to the show’s legacy. A major goal of the film is to introduce the franchise to a new generation of families who may not be familiar with the 1,000+ episode audio drama. We discuss Whit's enduring appeal as a “positive patriarch.” He is a wise, capable, and gentle male role model, contrasting with many father figures in modern media. The creators are prioritizing a theatrical release to encourage families, churches, and homeschool groups to watch it together as a community event, rather than just streaming it individually. Next on Fantastical Truth “In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the world disappear.” Jesus returned thirty years ago. Or rather, He sort of pre-returned, the warm-up act, if you will. Many faithful Christians believe in this kind of “rapture.” And in December 1995, two authors teamed up and used this idea to create the most successful biblical end-times thriller we've yet seen. Last summer, we looked back on the Left Behind series legacy. Yet now we'll ask how that first Left Behind novel has aged, thirty years after its release.

Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do for our daughters is…step back. In this "Best of Raising Godly Girls" episode, we revisit Episode 269: "Why Parents Shouldn't Make Life Easy for Their Daughters," originally aired on September 16, 2025. Natalie Ambrose and Rachael Culpepper explore the pitfalls of "helicopter" or "lawnmower" parenting and offer a faith-filled perspective on building resilience in girls.  This episode is for parents who want to love well—but struggle with the temptation to smooth every difficulty or shield their daughters from failure. Together, we discuss how stepping back, allowing natural consequences, and letting girls navigate challenges under God's guidance equips them with confidence, problem-solving skills, and a steadfast faith that will serve them for a lifetime.  Listeners will be reminded that resilience isn't just a personality trait—it's a spiritual posture. By trusting God to guide our daughters through life's skinned knees, disappointments, and learning moments, we cultivate strength, humility, and perseverance. It's an invitation to parent with intentionality, grace, and courage, trusting the Holy Spirit to shape our girls into women of integrity.  Scripture References:  James 1:2-4  Proverbs 22:6  Three Things to Remember:  Let girls experience challenges—they need space to grow and learn.  Parent with grace, not control, trusting God's wisdom and timing.  Celebrate resilience as a gift from God, cultivated over time through life's ups and downs.  This "Best Of" episode is an encouragement to pause, reflect, and lean into God's guidance as you nurture your daughter's character, perseverance, and Godly womanhood.  Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.   Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.  

Your kid is technically an adult, but still looking for–or needing–parental guidance. And maybe you still have your own parents weighing in, too. Parenting through this “in-between” stage can be complicated: How much guidance is too much? When do you let go? How do you stay close without taking over? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan welcome Dr. Laurence Steinberg to discuss his book “You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together in Challenging Times.” Together they discuss how parents can make sense of the shifting roles that come with launching young adults while also managing relationships with aging parents. It's a heartfelt, insightful look at what it means to be part of the “sandwich generation” today.

The headlines shout about winners and losers, but the real story this year is a quiet break in the social fabric: rising costs, collapsing civility, and a middle class pushed to the margins while trillion-dollar platforms set the rules. We take stock without the wishful thinking—where leadership fell short, why media trust eroded, and how populist energy devolved into a performance economy. Then we chart a path that doesn't wait for national saviors: rebuild the basics at the scale where life is actually lived.We dig into the mechanics of housing failure—land costs, fee stacks, and “solutions” that produce $3,500 one-bedrooms—and connect the dots to fertility declines and stalled mobility. We separate immigration myths from needs, arguing for policy that matches real shortages in skilled trades and technical roles rather than defaulting to elite preferences. And we confront the AI wildcard: consolidation of market power, creative jobs under pressure, and a creeping culture of low-effort knowledge that hollows out curiosity.The turnaround starts hyperlocal. Parents are reasserting standards through charter, parochial, and homeschool options. Neighbors who disagree politically still shovel each other's driveways and show up for city hall, building the trust that national media can't supply. Homeownership emerges as social glue—creating stake, stability, and responsibility—and we explore practical ways to expand it alongside vocational pipelines that open high-wage work. If the system feels feudal, the counterweight is community: family first, neighborhood next, and a renewed civic culture that values competence over slogans.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about their block as much as their feed, and leave a review to help others find it.

One of the great blessings of YouTube is that you and I can go to it to find out how to fix just about anything. I've successfully consulted YouTube to find ways to fix among other things, our washing machine, our car, and our lawnmower. Our kids can go to YouTube to learn as well, and one type of tutorial they can find relates to fake piercings, and how to use powerful little magnets to mimic actual nose, lip, tongue, and ear piercings. One concern related to this practice are the growing reports of kids accidentally swallowing the tiny magnets. This came to our attention when it was reported that a thirteen year old boy had somehow swallowed almost two hundred of these high powered magnets, which proceeded to attach to each other, causing abdomen pain. Surgery was required, and the boy had part of his bowel removed. Parents, we are called by God to protect our kids from harm. Train your kids up to steward their bodies with care. And, be sure to issue a warning about these magnets.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Nick Reiner had access to the best psychiatric care money could buy. A $70,000-a-month facility. Doctors managing his schizophrenia. Parents who never gave up on him. And he allegedly threw it all away — choosing drugs over medication, manipulation over honesty, and ultimately violence over everything his family tried to give him. For years, Rob Reiner publicly criticized the treatment industry. He said the experts were wrong. He said he should have listened to Nick instead of the people with diplomas on the wall. But here's the hard truth: the professionals were right. Nick was the one lying. Nick was the one refusing to comply. Nick was the one whose choices made treatment impossible — not because the system failed, but because he wouldn't let it work. Sources say his medication was changed weeks before the killings. But medication only works if you take it. Sobriety only works if you stay sober. Nick didn't. According to sources, his drug use was worsening his schizophrenia. He was "out of his head" — not because doctors failed him, but because he kept making the choices that put him there. Michele Reiner told friends, "We've tried everything." She had. They both had. But you can't save someone who won't stop sabotaging their own recovery. And you can't protect yourself from someone who's been manipulating you for seventeen years.

Nick Reiner had access to the best psychiatric care money could buy. A $70,000-a-month facility. Doctors managing his schizophrenia. Parents who never gave up on him. And he allegedly threw it all away — choosing drugs over medication, manipulation over honesty, and ultimately violence over everything his family tried to give him. For years, Rob Reiner publicly criticized the treatment industry. He said the experts were wrong. He said he should have listened to Nick instead of the people with diplomas on the wall. But here's the hard truth: the professionals were right. Nick was the one lying. Nick was the one refusing to comply. Nick was the one whose choices made treatment impossible — not because the system failed, but because he wouldn't let it work. Sources say his medication was changed weeks before the killings. But medication only works if you take it. Sobriety only works if you stay sober. Nick didn't. According to sources, his drug use was worsening his schizophrenia. He was "out of his head" — not because doctors failed him, but because he kept making the choices that put him there. Michele Reiner told friends, "We've tried everything." She had. They both had. But you can't save someone who won't stop sabotaging their own recovery. And you can't protect yourself from someone who's been manipulating you for seventeen years.

Proverbs 6 teaches powerful biblical wisdom about identity, discipline, diligence, and the importance of being yourself in a distracted world. In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore Proverbs 6 through the simple but profound life lesson: “Just be yourself” — or as my mama used to say, “Just be Kelly.”At first, those words sounded generic, even silly. Teachers said it. Parents said it. I even caught myself saying it to my daughter—until she hit me with, “Duh… everyone else is already taken.” And just like that, wisdom knocked.Proverbs 6 reveals that being yourself isn't accidental—it's built. It's formed slowly, deliberately, and powerfully through diligence, focus, and a calm mind. When your heart is full of love and your life is aligned, being yourself creates confidence, vision, discernment, and the ability to see trouble before it arrives.This chapter also warns us about distractions—often disguised as opportunity or fear of missing out. Proverbs 6 reminds us that staying in our lane, working our land, and not being consumed by comparison is protection, not limitation.What my mama delivered in a simple sentence turned out to be a graduate-level blueprint for life. It took time—and wisdom—for the depth of her words to fully unlock. Most of the challenges I face today can be traced back to moments where I ignored that wisdom.So today, Mama… I hear you loud and clear.Just be Kelly.Mic officially dropped.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Jamie Lee, a trauma-forged, intuition-led mother who has become a leading voice in the Heavy Metal Detox Mom Movement. Jamie shares her powerful origin story and walks us through her daughter's early developmental delays, the intense pressure to vaccinate, the dismissive responses from pediatricians, and the moment she said "enough" and took healing into her own hands. Together, they unpack how children are programmed by media, pharma marketing, and the medical system, why speech delays, regressions, ADHD, eczema, and "autism" have been normalized but are not normal, Jamie's experience with heavy metal detox, fulvic, zeolite, and gut healing, and much more! If you're a parent questioning the narrative, feeling the intuitive nudge that "something's off," and wanting practical solutions, this episode will both challenge and empower you.   Highlights:   "These issues have been normalized. They are common, but they are not normal."   "No child should ever move backward in speech or development. A regression is not normal, mamas."    "I just knew I needed to do something now. I was done with this rigamarole with doctors."    "I want a future generation of kids who are unfuckwithable."    Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 04:05 – Growing Up in Darkness: Learning to Read Energy and Question Authority 07:58 – "Common but Not Normal": Delays, ADHD, and Regressions in Kids 10:26 – Pregnancy, Vaccine Pressure, and the First Crack in Trust 14:52 – Nonverbal at Two: Autism Threat, No Answers, and Walking Away 15:54 – Heavy Metal Detox Breakthrough: Five Days to Speech and Personality 19:00 – Why Today's Kids Are More Toxic Than Ever 32:29 – Zeolite, Fulvic, and Minerals: Jamie's Core Child Healing Protocol 40:17 – Jamie's Mission: Helping Mothers Heal Their Children at Home 53:22 – Non-Negotiables: Whole Foods, Sunlight, Grounding, and Intuition   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Jamie Lee Jamie Lee is the creator of the Heavy Metal Detox Mom movement—a global awareness wave rooted in exposing the truth about developmental delays and hidden toxicity in children.
