Leadership isn't just for CEOs, pastors, or business owners—it begins at home. In this conversation, Ginny sits down with bestselling author and leadership expert Andy Stanley to explore the timeless principles from his new book, What Great Leaders Do. While written for organizational leaders, Andy shares why these lessons may be just as transformative for parents. Together they discuss the difference between problems that can be solved and tensions that must be managed, why trusting intuition often matters more than having all the answers, how to pursue clarity when certainty isn't possible, and why the strongest leaders play to their strengths instead of trying to become well-rounded. Andy also offers practical wisdom on protecting family over career, resisting the dangers of ego and entitlement, surrounding yourself with people who tell the truth, and building a life defined by character rather than achievement. Whether you're leading a family, a team, a business, or simply trying to become a wiser, more intentional person, this conversation is filled with practical insights that can shape the way you make decisions, build relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender discuss what children may lose when parents prevent friendships between boys and girls. They explore the difference between wise protection and fear based decisions and how healthy friendships can teach empathy, respect, communication, and biblical community.

Comedian Gabby Lamb returns to SHENK with host Sara Weinshenk for an episode that goes everywhere. What starts as a conversation about Jellycats turns into debates about consumerism, environmental guilt, Disney adults, antidepressants, mental health, food recalls, travel, and Gabby's upcoming trip to Syria. Sara and Gabby riff through anxiety, stand-up comedy, medication, theme parks, Erewhon, social media algorithms, and why it's almost impossible to enjoy anything without overthinking it. It's equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and unexpectedly honest. If you enjoy comedy podcasts featuring stand-up comedians, off-the-wall conversations, dark humor, and unfiltered discussions, this episode is for you.

For kids who struggle with ADHD, big emotions, and battles over non-preferred tasks, sometimes parents are missing what really needs to change. In this episode of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast with Flora McCormick, you'll hear from Michael McLeod, a language pathologist, executive functioning specialist, and creator of the Grow Now Internal Skills Coaching Model. We'll explore why ADHD is about more than attention and focus, and how executive functioning affects self-regulation, motivation, resilience, and independence.Also, we'll talk about the difference between behavior and brain-based challenges, and why it can be so helpful to look at what's happening across home, school, and other areas of a child's life. Instead of assuming a child simply won't cooperate or isn't trying hard enough, this conversation offers another way to understand the skills that may still be developing.You'll also hear about the powerful pull of screens for kids with ADHD and why instant gratification can make everyday tasks feel even harder. Michael explains how screens and conflict can become easy sources of stimulation, while real-world activities ask children to practice skills like self-regulation, motivation, and delayed gratification.And when big emotions or tantrums happen, we'll discuss why parents don't always have to rush in with more talking, reasoning, or explanations. Giving kids some space to move through hard feelings can be part of raising resilient kids and helping them develop greater independence over time.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why ADHD is better understood through the lens of executive functioning and self-regulation• How to look beyond challenging behavior and consider what skills your child may still be developing• Why screens can be especially compelling for kids who struggle with executive functioning• How giving children space during tantrums can support resilience and independence• Why using less language can help when your child is dysregulated• How positive discipline can focus on building skills rather than simply changing behavior in the moment✨ If you've ever felt stuck explaining the same thing again and again, this conversation offers a different way forward. You'll walk away with a better understanding of executive functioning and practical ideas for supporting your child's growth with more calm, confidence, and connection.✨Want more? ✨JOIN me in the SUMMER of support:
Grieving Out Loud: A Mother Coping with Loss in the Opioid Epidemic
When your child is struggling with addiction, the fear can be overwhelming, and the loneliness can feel just as heavy.Today's Grieving Out Loud guest knows that reality all too well. Brenda Zane's son was just 15 years old when addiction entered their lives and changed everything. Their journey pushed them to the brink, with two fentanyl overdoses in just three days. After the second overdose, he nearly died, spending three days in a coma on life support, suffering both a heart attack and a stroke. Somehow, they found a way through.Out of that experience, Brenda created the Hopestream community, a podcast and online space designed for parents navigating a child's addiction. She built it because she knew how desperately families need support from people who truly understand.What began as a passion project in 2020 has grown into a resource reaching families across the country. In this episode, Brenda shares her family's difficult, years-long journey, what she's learned about helping a loved one through addiction, and how both she and her son are now helping others find hope.Learn more about the Hopestream Community here.

With 30+ years in the arts — including over 20 years designing custom props and experiences for Disney, Universal, and Nickelodeon — Paul brings real-world creative credibility to his transformation work. Paul is the creator of Gamify Business and author of five books: The Creative Player's Handbook to Business, The Creative Player's Workbook, The Game Master's Guide to Business, Quit Selling Your Sh*t and his latest book, The Bard's Guide to Storycraft. His approach uses gaming frameworks and RPG mechanics to help artists, designers, makers, and creative entrepreneurs build profitable businesses without selling out to corporate business culture. His mission is clear: destroy the starving artist's mindset. Paul proves that creative entrepreneurs don't have to choose between artistic integrity and real profit—and that the business side of creativity can be just as innovative and fulfilling as art itself. Business is an Adventure, so don't be an NPC.

On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Chris Downey, founder of VAX Calc, for an important conversation about informed consent, parental responsibility, and how families can make confident healthcare decisions in an increasingly complex medical system. Chris believes one of the biggest challenges facing parents today isn't simply deciding whether to vaccinate—it's navigating a healthcare system that often pressures families to make decisions before they feel fully informed. Drawing on years of research and software development, he explains why he created VAX Calc to help parents prepare before they ever walk into a pediatrician's office. The conversation explores:Why informed consent starts long before the doctor's appointmentThe pressure many parents feel during well-child visitsWhy Chris believes healthcare decisions should be individualized—not one-size-fits-allHow parents can build their own trusted healthcare “roundtable”The importance of asking better questions instead of accepting automatic recommendationsHow artificial intelligence could help families make more informed decisions in the futureWhy courage, intuition, and personal responsibility matter when making healthcare choicesJohn also shares several personal experiences navigating vaccine discussions with physicians, while Ken discusses preparing the next generation of parents to confidently advocate for their children. Throughout the conversation, the focus remains on empowering families to think critically, ask questions, and make decisions they believe are best for their own children. Whether you're expecting your first child, raising young children, or simply interested in medical freedom and informed consent, this episode offers practical strategies for becoming a more informed advocate for your family's health.

Florida is taking a major step in the debate over artificial intelligence in education, giving parents more control over whether AI tools are used in their children's classrooms. The proposed rules would require schools to be transparent about the AI technology being used, how it impacts learning, and how much time students spend interacting with these tools.
AT Parenting Survival Podcast: Parenting | Child Anxiety | Child OCD | Kids & Family
It can be hard to tell whether OCD treatment is helping, especially when compulsions haven't noticeably decreased, distress seems higher, or new themes suddenly appear.But progress is not always measured by how quiet OCD looks on the outside. Sometimes treatment is preventing OCD from getting worse. Sometimes a therapist is building trust and readiness before beginning ERP. And sometimes increased distress is a sign that your child is learning to face discomfort instead of immediately escaping it.In this episode, I'll walk through the common ways parents misjudge treatment progress and the less obvious signs that therapy may be working, from greater openness and willingness to attend, to applying skills across themes, doing more of what OCD once blocked, and beginning to feel more hopeful.Download the free episode handout at www.natashadaniels.com/handouts and explore my OCD courses for parents, kids, and teens at atparentingsurvivalschool.com.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

At 20, I found out my ex girlfriend was pregnant. I stared at the ceiling for an hour, drowning in guilt, shame, and the fear of what my church going family would think. I ended up back with her. Had another kid. Spent almost 10 years in an on and off toxic relationship, three failed engagements, all because I was chasing my dad's approval instead of building my own life. He was a devoted Christian who wanted me married, and he never seemed to care that we weren't right for each other. I wasn't even living my own beliefs, I was living his. In this episode I break down why so many of you are still doing the same thing: running your adult life on programming you inherited and never actually chose. I get into why re-evaluating everything you were taught isn't disrespect, it's required. And why living like your parents are dead, no longer needing their approval, is the only way you build a kingdom that's actually yours.

Amy Phillips and Emily Dorezas catch up at the start of August, share quick Bravo “dish,” and then recap the Real Housewives of Atlanta season finale. They celebrate Frank Catania Jr. marrying Nicole in Portugal and speculate whether any Bravo cameras might capture it, discuss rumors that the McBee family may step back from their show, and note Next Gen NYC's reunion seating chart (with Ariana and Charlie near Andy). They mention a claim that Scheana tried to join Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, plus news that Whitney and Farrah Richards are pregnant and a Charleston Fan Fest lineup. In the RHOA finale, they talk Angela Oakley's “Fangie” venture and her reconciliation scene, Shamea and Gerald expecting a third child via surrogate, Porsha's relationship timing with Sway, Kelly's legal win with Phaedra and her ex's incarceration, Pinky's bankruptcy update, and why Drew's K. Michelle DM drama felt like a forced swan song, ending with hopes for a strong three-part reunion.Download Cash App today and open a managed account for your child.Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rw17ojho #CashAppPod.For a limited time, new Cash App customers who are parents can use our exclusive referral code FAMILY10 to earn $10.

Being an adult is hard, and nobody is ever truly independent. In this episode, my wife and I talk about spending 30 days in Honolulu with my parents and what it's like to slowly shift from being cared for to being the caretaker. We also get into a bizarre encounter with two park rangers on an empty public tennis court while I was teaching my own kids, and a discussion about what a real adult actually is when a 37-year-old still depends on her father for money. Three generations, one uncomfortable question about who takes care of who. We also touch on how hard it was to spend our Summer YOLO Fund. The full accounting comes in tomorrow's post.

Rerelease of an important episode on eating disorders. Eating disorders and disordered eating can show up in many different ways—and often aren't easy to recognize. In this episode, clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist, Dr. Kelly Bhatnagar helps us break down the language, the warning signs, and the realities behind these increasingly common struggles. We explore everything from binge eating, purging, orthorexia, and bigorexia to the social, emotional, and biological factors that can put young people at risk.

Before you ever opened the Bible or stepped into a church, the way that you see and relate to God was already taking shape. That's because family formation plays a foundational role in spiritual formation. How do we reconcile the harmful with the helpful as we desire to grow in our relationship with God and others? Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi has a special conversation with her sisters, Tara and Sue, about their family experience growing up. Their reflection will give you a window into how your own childhood has affected your life in God. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't leave us where we are — he continues to invite us into greater healing, freedom, and growth.

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family
Parents need to awaken in children their sacramental imagination within the home. This takes time. - Steven Serafin Summary In this episode, we talk with Steven Serafin of Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministries about how parents can reclaim their role as the primary teachers of the faith. Drawing from the catechumenal model, he explains that faith is passed on through relationship and daily life, not just programs. In a culture that no longer supports belief, families must intentionally live the faith at home through habits of prayer, discipline, and meaningful conversation. Steven shares simple ways to start, like blessing your children and creating small rituals that build a child's sacramental imagination. He also highlights the importance of rest, living with heaven as the goal, and finding a supportive community. Strong parishes, he says, grow when families accompany and evangelize one another. Listen in and learn how you are already passing on the faith to your children within your daily life! Key Takeaways Parents are the primary teachers of the faith, and it's passed on through daily life, not just programs or classes. The catechumenal model shows that faith grows through accompaniment, walking with others in relationship. Simple habits at home like prayer, blessing your children, and meaningful conversations build a lasting faith. Families need to slow down, embrace rest, and keep their focus on heaven rather than constant busyness or success. You're not meant to do this alone. Small communities of families supporting each other are essential for raising children in the faith. Couple Discussion Questions What's one simple habit your family could start this week to live the faith more intentionally at home? Where do you feel most stretched or distracted as a parent, and how might slowing down or embracing "rest" change that? Who are the people or families you could walk with in faith so you're not trying to do this alone? Resources https://www.fflcm.org/ Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministries
For the last ten years, conservatives have been fighting wokeism. And in a lot of ways, they've been winning. States have passed legislation. Courts have pushed back. Parents have shown up to school board meetings. And yet — the Left is not retreating. They're advancing. Because what most people don't realize is that wokeism was never the ideology. It was the symptom. The ideology is called Third Worldism. It's older, it's more radical, and it didn't just elect the Mayor of New York City — it's already reshaping entire nations. Look at Europe. Today I want to explain exactly what Third Worldism is, why it's spreading faster than wokeism ever did, and what happens if the West loses this argument.SPONSOR: American FinancingWith the cost of gas, groceries, and insurance staying high, high-interest credit card debt can quietly drain your finances.

Colicky babies love white noise for sleeping! Plenty of parents rely on sleep white noise during their child's bedtime routine so their little one can fall asleep in comfort. The consistent sleep sound can help your baby settle down if they can't get cozy at night. Playing white noise to sleep can also help cover up noises outside of your infant's bedroom, so once they are asleep, they stay asleep. Many parents have said that white noise for sleep is similar to what babies heard in the womb, so your baby can feel like they are back in a familiar environment at night. If your tired tike often lays in bed restless and not able to fall asleep, white noise for babies could be just what they need for a full night of rest. While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.At Relaxing White Noise, our goal is to help you sleep well. This episode is twelve hours long with no advertisements in the middle, so you can use it as a sleeping sound throughout the night. Listening to our white noise sounds via the podcast gives you the freedom to lock your phone at night, keeping your bedroom dark as you fall asleep. It also allows you to switch between apps while studying or working with no interruption in the ambient sound.Contact Us for Partnership InquiriesRelaxing White Noise is the number one destination on YouTube for white noise and nature sounds to help you sleep, study or soothe a baby. With more than a billion views across YouTube and other platforms, we are excited to now share our popular ambient tracks on the Relaxing White Noise podcast. People use white noise for sleeping, focus, sound masking or relaxation. We couldn't be happier to help folks live better lives. This podcast has the sound for you whether you use white noise for studying, to soothe a colicky baby, to fall asleep or for simply enjoying a peaceful moment. No need to buy a white noise machine when you can listen to these sounds for free. Cheers to living your best life!DISCLAIMER: Remember that loud sounds can potentially damage your hearing. When playing one of our ambiences, if you cannot have a conversation over the sound without raising your voice, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Please do not place speakers right next to a baby's ears. If you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears, please immediately discontinue listening to the white noise sounds and consult an audiologist or your physician. The sounds provided by Relaxing White Noise are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus. If you have significant difficulty sleeping on a regular basis, experience fitful/restless sleep, or feel tired during the day, please consult your physician.Relaxing White Noise Privacy Policy© Relaxing White Noise LLC, 2026.

Home. Family. Belonging. Love. What does it mean to have a healthy marriage, a healthy family? Gerry Crete and Theresa Robinson join us to explore that question: “What does a thriving marriage and flourishing in family life look like? We bring in Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, perfectionism, the importance of family members delighting in each other, parents' vows and scripts, how loving children involves more than the will, and the importance of “being with” each other.

Listener Week on Woman's Hour is where we bring your stories, ideas and the issues you want to hear about to air.How much of the detail about your marriage or long-term relationship do you share with your best friends? One listener says her husband is unwilling to discuss any of their issues, or go to therapy, but that she feels she can't talk to friends honestly about their relationship either. To discuss, Kylie Pentelow is joined by psychotherapist Julia Samuel and Natasha Lunn, author of Conversations on Love, a bestselling book.Are library closures misogynistic? Woman's Hour listener Kirsten thinks so. She believes that libraries help women in a whole range of ways - from providing employment to toddler groups - and so closing them disproportionately affects them. She'll join Isobel Hunter, Chief Executive of Libraries Connected, to discuss. Over 70,000 babies each year require specialist care on a neonatal unit (NICU). Parents of these babies feel the impact on their mental health from time spent in NICU is overlooked. With one in seven babies spending time in NICU, listeners Lorna Tallowin and Lottie King contacted the programme to highlight the long-term impact on the families affected.Judith got in touch to share the benefits of intergenerational friendships and the difference they can make to our lives. Judith and Iona are best friends. She's 76 and Iona is 22. They join Kylie to discuss. Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Kirsty Starkey
In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie's back with returning guest Shelby Davis, a school-based SLP at Community High School in Teaneck, NJ, and a doctoral candidate at Monmouth University. Shelby's diving into the 5th-year transition program she's helping build for students on the spectrum and others with complex learning needs — designed to bridge the gap between high school and real independence. From vocational skill-building to community partnerships, Shelby walks through how the program came together, what SLPs can offer beyond the classroom, and how any SLP can bring these strategies into their own practice, transition program or not.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why four years isn't always enough — and what a 5th-year transition program looks like in practice Moving beyond classroom goals to communication students actually need at work, in the community, and at home The skill areas worth targeting: self-advocacy, executive functioning, vocational communication, problem-solving Real-world practice — job shadowing, budgeting trips, even a visit to the post office Why repetition and hands-on practice outside the classroom matters most for autistic and other diverse learners Getting SLPs, OTs, teachers, counselors, and families all working from the same playbook The resources behind the program — Speech Time Fun, a monthly themed curriculum, and the NYT Learning NetworkHere's what we learned: There's almost no existing research on 5th-year transition programs — which is part of why Shelby's building her doctoral work around it Real-world self-advocacy starts small: affirmation flashcards students can lean on when asking for help at a register or counter Admin buy-in came down to a clear proposal — mock curriculum, funding, staff certifications, not just an idea Parents said yes faster than expected — once they saw the goal was independence, not delay Bottom line for older students: treat them like people, not projects — connect to their interests firstLearn more about Shelby Davis: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelbyadavis/ Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:
When discussing youngsters' life outcomes, school is often the first place someone starts investigating. And yet school time is dwarfed by the amount of time kids spend with their parents or other adult caregivers. Recognizing this, developmental psychologist Ariel Kalil, the Daniel Levin Professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, focuses her child development research on parenting. "My argument, in a nutshell," she tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast, "is that we spend a lot of time investigating what happens to kids during the school hours and thinking of school as the site for child skill development, when in fact, it's the out-of-school time that dwarfs the amount of time that children will spend in school.' And the academic kicker, she adds, is "we know much less about how to understand that time." Kalil has been looking at questions around economic conditions, parents and child development for a long time. In 2003, for example, she was the first-ever recipient of the Society for Research in Child Development Award for Early Research Contributions, one of several awards or research opportunities centering on her work she has received. Kalil also directs the Center for Human Potential and Public Policy and co-directs the Behavioral Insights and Parenting Lab at Chicago.

Few things frustrate parents more than trying to have an important conversation with a child or teen and hearing, “I don't care” or “I don't know.” It can feel dismissive, disrespectful, avoidant, or even scary. Parents may start wondering: Do they really not care? Are they lying? Are they avoiding responsibility? Am I losing influence?In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara talk about what may actually be happening underneath these common responses. They explain why “I don't care” can be a form of armor, why “I don't know” can be a shutdown response, and why pushing harder often makes kids more defensive instead of more honest. You'll learn how to stay calm, lower the pressure without lowering the boundary, and help your child move from defensiveness into reflection, responsibility, and repair. Kyle and Sara also share practical ways to respond to kids ages 8–18, including what younger kids, tweens, and teens may need when they seem shut down or checked out. This episode is especially helpful for parents who want to reduce power struggles, build emotional intelligence, strengthen connection, and guide their child with calm leadership instead of fear. When your child says, “I don't care” or “I don't know,” try not to chase the words. Look underneath. Behind both phrases is often a child who feels overwhelmed, ashamed, confused, or unsure how to move forward. Listen to this episode to learn how to respond with connection, clarity, and confidence.

This is Part Two of Teens and Screens, and it's the counterweight. Last episode, Dr. Johann D'Souza made the case for keeping toxic screens out of your teenager's hands entirely. Today I'm joined again by Dr. Will Dobud — social worker, researcher, and co-author of Kids These Days — who thinks the story we tell ourselves about phones and youth mental health is far bigger than the evidence behind it.I open by naming my own bias: I work with the families where it went wrong. Porn addiction, gaming addiction, failure to launch, daughters pulled into dark corners of social media. Will names his: he's oppositional by temperament, and he wrote a book making fun of how adults talk about kids.We get into why the meta-analytic effects between screen use and youth mental health are so small they're arguably not worth publishing, what a third variable does to correlational data, and why Australia's social media ban is failing six months in. I push back repeatedly — on whether "do what feels right" is useful advice to parents who don't know what modern pornography even is, on the candy-bin problem of unregulated access, and on whether calling the phone a symptom of family dysfunction slides into blaming parents.Then Will gets on his soapbox about school, and the conversation turns somewhere I didn't expect: youth self-harm and ER data that tracks the school calendar. Up during term, down during holidays. Highest on Mondays. What if we've been pointing at the wrong thing?Books mentioned in this episode:Kids These Days — Dr. Will Dobud, with co-author NevinThe Anxious Generation — Jonathan HaidtDr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway. Will is from Washington, D.C., and divides his time between the United States and Australia each year. He is an award-winning researcher and educator recognized for excellence in research, teaching, and crime prevention. Dr. Dobud is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Charles Sturt University, Australia's largest social work school.

Choosing how to educate your kids can feel overwhelming—especially when every option seems to come with strong opinions and stereotypes. In this episode, Clayton, Amy, and one of our favorite guest hosts, Arthur Tew, each represent a different schooling experience (public, private Christian, and homeschool) and have an honest, good-humored conversation about why faithful families often arrive at different decisions.Rather than debating which option is "right," they challenge one another to acknowledge the common stereotypes surrounding each choice—and then explain the truths, misconceptions, and tradeoffs behind them. Along the way, they discuss parental responsibility, Christian formation, diversity, academics, and the reality that no educational model is perfect.Whether you've already made your decision or you're still wrestling through it, this conversation is an invitation to think intentionally, hold your convictions with humility, and extend grace to families who make different choices.TakeawaysFaithful Christian families can thoughtfully arrive at different school choices.Every educational model has strengths, weaknesses, and tradeoffs.Homeschooling has evolved significantly over the past two decades.Private Christian schools often require financial sacrifice—not just financial privilege.Diversity of people, perspectives, and learning styles is worth considering in every schooling decision.Parents remain the primary influence on their children's formation, regardless of where they're educated.Difficult conversations are inevitable—and parents should be prepared to have them.The goal isn't finding the "perfect" school, but being intentional about your family's values and your children's formation.Grace and humility go a long way when talking about deeply personal parenting decisions.Chapters00:00 – Why school choice feels so personal02:50 – Arthur shares why his family homeschools06:40 – Amy's journey from public school to private Christian school11:20 – Clayton explains why his family chose public school13:10 – Ground rules: agreeing with stereotypes before defending them14:15 – "Homeschoolers are awkward."

Christian Dating Service Reviews | Dating Advice | Christian Singles Podcasts
Social media has transformed the way we connect, share, and see the world. For Christian singles, it can be both a blessing and a subtle trap. One of the most common struggles is comparison — measuring your life, your relationships, your appearance, or your spiritual progress against the carefully curated highlight reels of others. Engagement announcements, wedding photos, vacation posts, and “perfect” couple moments can quietly erode joy and leave you feeling behind, inadequate, or forgotten by God.
