Podcasts about parents

Hour 3 Patrick brings the smartphone struggle front and center, questioning why tech and social media seem to influence children more than their own families. Parents call in with raw confessions, regrets, and inventive solutions, from holding out on smartphones to battling the sneaky ways kids get around controls, while stories of bikes, banana seats, and even Maseratis bring humor and a touch of nostalgia to the mix. Rules, boundaries, and values collide with modern tech, leaving listeners weighing connection, safety, and family sanity in a world where a phone can change everything.

(10:25) Melissa - A counselor told me that I should get my kid a phone so she could feel more part of other kids' social circles. That was the beginning of the end. (19:36) Jorge - From where I come from, we didn't have TVs. I think I can enjoy the benefit of learning without it. I compare the TVs of yesterday to the phone today. (23:29) Jessica - Smart phones: Somethings that helped me prolong the eventuality of kids getting a phone was a straight A report card. (29:09) Gloria - Smart phone: I set parameters for my kids. My children wanted them at a young age. I did a lot of research before getting them phones. We used a lot of the parental controls available. I think it is working out.

Parenting a 5-year-old and parenting a 15-year-old are completely different jobs. But most of us never consciously make that shift. We keep using the same approach… and slowly, the relationship starts to suffer. In this episode, I'm walking you through the 5 roles every parent needs to move through—from early childhood all the way to raising an independent adult. Because... It's not just about what you do as a parent. It's about who you are in each stage. And when you get this right, everything changes— your connection, your influence, and your teen's future. If you're parenting a tween or teen and want a clear, step-by-step framework:

Kyle Thiermann—writer, journalist, big-wave surfer, and podcast host—breaks down why writing is one of the most powerful tools for thinking clearly, processing life, and escaping what he calls “informational grazing.” He explains how writing forces depth in a distracted world, how to build a repeatable creative system, and why analog tools like longhand drafting and structured research still outperform digital shortcuts. The conversation explores how storytelling, curiosity, and asking better questions can transform not only your work, but your relationships—especially when it comes to documenting family history and interviewing your parents before it's too late.They also go deep on fear and performance. Kyle shares how big-wave surfing trains real-time emotional control, including a near-death hold-down in Ireland, and how that same mindset applies to jiu-jitsu, business, and everyday stress. The episode covers breathwork practices ranging from Wim Hof to rebirthing, the role of somatic experiences, and a grounded, honest take on psychedelics—focusing on intention, caution, and integration rather than hype.

What if the very thing we use to motivate kids is actually making them less motivated? New research from Harvard University reveals something surprising: when children play just for fun, they naturally seek challenge, take risks, and stretch themselves further. But the moment rewards, prizes, or competition enter the picture, kids start choosing the easiest possible path. In this fascinating Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack what this means for parenting, learning, sport, motivation, and raising resilient kids who actually enjoy hard things. If you’ve ever relied on sticker charts, rewards, bribery, or competition to encourage your child — this conversation may completely change the way you think about motivation. KEY POINTS Harvard researchers found kids seek harder challenges when rewards are removed Competition and prizes often reduce creativity, risk-taking, and persistence Children are naturally wired for growth and exploration “Hard fun” is often more rewarding than easy success Motivation increases when kids feel ownership and autonomy External rewards can shift focus away from learning and onto “getting the prize” Parents can encourage resilience by focusing less on outcomes and more on challenge QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The more you remove rewards and say, ‘Let’s just do this because it’s fun,’ the more kids seek challenge.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Punished by Rewards by Alfie Kohn Research published in Developmental Psychology ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Reduce reliance on rewards, bribes, and sticker charts Let kids experiment, explore, and challenge themselves without pressure Focus on effort, curiosity, and growth rather than winning Create opportunities for “hard fun” through play, sport, and learning Help children set personal goals instead of competing against others Ask: “What challenge feels exciting to you?” instead of “How can you win?” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 172-page independent investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach found something beyond the alleged abuse itself. It found the system that kept it hidden.At the center: two theological teachings that functioned as silencing tools. One took a Christian doctrine about grace and pushed it until confronting a leader about harm was treated as your spiritual deficiency. The other classified anyone who raised concerns as carrying "evil reports" — a label that made you radioactive within the community. People would cut ties with you just to protect themselves.The investigation documented case after case where this played out. Parents reporting that their children had been harmed. Leadership responding not with action, but with theology — invoking forgiveness, redirecting blame, and shielding the institution. The investigators concluded that this wasn't a series of isolated failures. It was a culture, reinforced from the top, that systematically prioritized the organization over the people inside it.Elita Galvin has been investigating Greater Grace for years through her podcast Looking for Grace. She's the person who understands the documented cases and the institutional response better than almost anyone outside the investigation itself. Oscar — our guest joining audio-only under a pseudonym — experienced these doctrines as a believer. He absorbed them. He trusted them. It took years after leaving for him to understand what they were actually built to do.This episode connects the theology to the outcomes. When your belief system makes accountability a sin, the institution doesn't need a cover-up. The doctrine is the cover-up.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a wooded campground cabin in the early 2000s, 19 year old Ben Unger stood in the doorway and watched 20 naked men form a circle around a crying teenager. A counselor held up two tangerines and shouted, “These are your balls.” The exercise claimed to cure same sex attraction by forcing young men to “reclaim” their masculinity from overbearing mothers. Phones had been confiscated. Parents had paid thousands of dollars. Religion supplied the script. Pseudoscience supplied the props.Ben had grown up in an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn and later studied in Israel to become a rabbi. When he admitted he felt attracted to men, rabbis told him to eat 7 figs a day, immerse in a ritual bath 5 times daily, or marry a woman and trust that “if there's friction, it works.” At 19, he entered conversion therapy through an organization called Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality, known as JONAH. He left with depression, religious trauma, and 6 months of silence toward the mother he had been taught to blame.Years later, represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Ben helped sue JONAH for consumer fraud in a landmark New Jersey case. The argument centered on evidence, not theology. Sexual orientation cannot be changed. The jury deliberated for 3 hours and ruled against the organization. The verdict helped reshape how states regulate conversion therapy and protect minors from psychological harm disguised as treatment.Today, Ben runs Buff Personal Training in New York City, a gym built on autonomy, mental health, and self respect. His story traces the arc from institutional control to self authorship. The conversation examines religion, LGBTQ rights, conversion therapy, consumer protection law, and the lasting cost of being told your identity is a disorder.RELATED LINKSBen Unger on LinkedInBen Unger on InstagramBUF Personal TrainingSouthern Poverty Law CenterJONAHFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Every young person deserves access to high-quality education and career opportunities. But for young parents, none of that is possible without first solving for the basic need of childcare. In the sixth episode of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's series on what young people need to thrive, host Gloria Riviera talks with Bella Agee, a 21-year-old student, worker, and mom, and Quanic Fullard, Senior Associate of Family and Youth Financial Stability at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, about why access to childcare sets young parents up for success – and benefits the collective good.  This episode was made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization that develops solutions to build a brighter future for children, youth, families and communities. Learn more at aecf.org.

Ethan and Alex kick off KSL Brightside with a proper welcome‑back—who they are, where they’ve been, and why they’re here. From there, the conversation shifts into the “Perfect Parent Club” as Utah revisits a big question: should parents be allowed to teach their own kids driver’s ed? The crew brings it to the audience for debate. Then it’s full travel mode: Spirit Airlines’ sudden shutdown sparks passenger chaos, airlines raise fares but people keep booking. Fake voicemails from a very fake former KSL exec interrupt the show, and a non-fake, very alive Doug Wright surprises Ethan and Alex. The show keeps rolling with students racing through online degrees, three trending stories you won’t believe (including illegal vape sales, dishwasher radio voices, and Trump passports), and whether convenience stores like Maverik should worry about fast‑food competition. Ethan and Alex wrap with Utah outdoors news—from stocking prehistoric fish to what to do if animals are nesting near your home.

In this episode of Satisfied, Ryan Swanson steps back from the recent discussion on the eunuch principle to address the deeper question of why same-sex attraction can feel so real even when it does not reflect God's design. He encourages listeners who believe God may be calling them to unmarried service to walk carefully, avoid making the calling about self-affirmation, and focus instead on undistracted service to Christ. Ryan also exposes several ways the devil can twist curiosity, idle imagination, same-gender friendship, and emotional closeness into confusion about identity and desire. Topics Discussed How to respond if you believe God may be calling you to unmarried service Why it may not be wise to publicly announce or over-explain the eunuch principle too quickly The importance of serving Christ without needing everyone else to fully understand your calling How curiosity can become confused with attraction The danger of an idle mind in a culture saturated with sexuality Why young people need parental guidance, mentorship, and spiritual counsel The difference between same-gender closeness and same-sex attraction How deep emotional bonds can be misinterpreted as sexual desire The biblical example of David and Jonathan's deep, non-sexual friendship Why feelings must be tested by God's Word rather than accepted as identity Key Takeaways Feelings can seem powerful and real, but they are not always truthful. The Word of God, not personal desire or cultural pressure, must define a believer's identity and calling. A life of unmarried service is not about drawing attention to oneself. It is about being free to serve Christ with undistracted devotion. Curiosity, emotional closeness, and deep friendship are not the same thing as sexual attraction. The enemy can twist good and natural desires into confusion when they are not understood biblically. Young people should not be left to navigate sexuality and identity alone. Parents, pastors, and godly mentors have a responsibility to guide them with clarity, compassion, and truth. Victory begins by recognizing the lies of the devil and seeking the Lord for the identity He has chosen. True satisfaction is found not in being affirmed by others, but in being satisfied with Jesus Christ. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

Parents and Priorities

What if raising a “well-educated child” has nothing to do with grades and everything to do with how they think?In this powerful conversation, Rebecca sits down with educator and author Deborah Kenny, founder of Harlem Village Academies, to challenge everything we think we know about education. From eliminating screens to building independent thinkers, Deborah shares what actually works when it comes to raising confident, capable, and self-motivated kids. This episode will make you rethink parenting, school, and what success really looks like for your child.Key Takeaways→ A well-educated child is not just knowledgeable but intellectually sophisticated, self-directed, and purpose-driven. → Agency matters more than grades because self-motivated kids push themselves to learn.→ Reading is the single most powerful habit for building attention span and critical thinking. → Too much screen time weakens focus and limits curiosity.→ Kids need guidance to question what they see, not just absorb it.→ Parents should focus less on grades and more on a love of learning. Want to raise a confident, independent thinker? Start by changing what happens at home.

So I thought things were going great until I mentioned that my parents really need a place to stay, and my girlfriend of only seven months started acting like a total Karen about the whole situation. She honestly has the audacity to say she won't allow them to move in, even though I am the one who actually owns the house and pays every single bill. It is just wild to me that someone who has been in my life for such a short time thinks she is entitled to make executive decisions about my family and my property. She seriously expects me to turn my back on my own parents just so she can keep the guest room as her personal yoga studio, and the level of selfishness she is showing right now is a massive red flag.And then the drama really peaked today when I told her that my parents are coming regardless and she needs to decide if she is okay with that or not. She went into a full meltdown and tried to tell me it is her house too, but it felt like a heavy dose of ProRevenge for my peace of mind when I reminded her that her name isn't on the deed and she doesn't contribute a cent to the mortgage. Watching her realize she won't be calling the shots in a home she doesn't even help pay for was the reality check she desperately needed. I'm not going to let a short-term relationship dictate how I take care of my flesh and blood, and she finally saw that her entitled demands won't work on me.It is honestly shocking how quickly some people try to take control of your life the second they get comfortable.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Will White has been doing this work since last century, and he means that literally. Licensed since 1989, he has worked in group homes, boarding schools, mental health centers, and in 1996, co-founded Summit Achievement, a wilderness therapy program he ran for nearly 27 years. When he tells you the landscape of behavioral health for young people has shifted more in the last five years than in the previous three decades combined, he knows what he's talking about. The externalizers of a generation ago, the kids who broke things, slammed doors, and announced their pain loudly, have largely given way to a different kind of struggling young person. One who is anxious, inward, and frozen. Who won't leave the room, won't leave the house, and whose parents keep quietly rearranging life around them in an effort to keep the peace. Will has watched this pattern closely, including at Mountain Valley Treatment Center, where young residents had become so overwhelmed by anxiety that the outside world felt completely out of reach. The treatment models that worked before are not always the ones that work now, and the gap between what young people need and what is actually available to them is widening.That gap is exactly what Will set out to address when he helped launch The Trade, a new nonprofit program in rural New Hampshire for young adults (all genders) ages 18 to 30. It's not a therapy program in the traditional sense and if you have a young person stuck in that uncomfortable in-between of not ready for college, not ready for independence, but also not well-served by just being home, it may be exactly what you did not know to look for.I wanted Will back on the show (he appears way back in episode 14) because his view of the bigger picture is one I trust. In this conversation, we talk about the seismic shifts in behavioral health, what is driving the rise in anxiety, and why less talk and more doing might be what this generation actually needs.

How do parents make it work!?

Hey Heal Squad! Parents, listen up…this is the episode you didn't know you needed. We're with world-renowned parenting educator and author Jon Fogel, and trust us…this will completely reset how you think about raising kids. Jon literally wrote the book on it (loll), called Punishment-Free Parenting: The Brain-Based Way to Raise Kids Without Raising Your Voice, and today he's breaking down why punishment and yelling don't work long-term (even if they feel effective in the moment), and what actually does. Jon shares real-life tools you can use immediately...like how to handle meltdowns without escalating them, and the surprisingly simple “game” that can turn chaos into connection in seconds. Plus he's sharing top tips like why you should never try to reason with a dysregulated child, what strengthens secure attachment, why apologizing to your kids might be the most important parenting tool you have, and a must-hear relationship hack for couples navigating different parenting styles (this alone is worth the listen!).Bottom line: this isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about being an intentional one. Small, consistent shifts can totally have a massive impact on your child's future. Hope you love this one, because we just know you're going to walk away with tools you can use today! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Punishment doesn't teach, modeling does: Punishment might stop behavior in the moment, but it doesn't create lasting change. Kids learn far more from what we show them than what we say or threaten.  Regulate first, teach later: When kids are in meltdown mode, their brains are in survival, not learning, mode. In those moments, your only job is to help them regulate (through movement, games, or calming their body). The teaching and boundaries come after they're calm. Repair is more powerful than perfection: You don't have to be a perfect parent, what matters most is how you show up after you mess up. Learning how to apologize, repair, and reconnect actually builds stronger relationships and emotional intelligence in your kids.

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?

Parents in rural Iowa warned their children for decades — don't go back into the hollow, stay away from Don Studey. He was the boogeyman of Green Hollow. And when criminal defense attorney Bob Motta went into the small towns of Tabor and Thurman to start interviewing locals about the alleged Green Hollow Killer, he found out the legend ran deeper than anyone knew. A deputy on the fence line at the dig site casually mentioned that John Wayne Gacy's first known victim — Tim McCoy — was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family. Bob had produced thirty-six episodes on the Gacy case and had been talking to Lucy Studey-McKiddy for months about her father. She never mentioned it. In town, Bob was welcomed with open arms. The mayor invited him to dinner. Everyone had a story. People who knew Don Studey personally said they believed Lucy's claims. The older generation had firsthand accounts of who Studey was. The younger generation had grown up hearing the warnings. And then the intelligence got darker — alleged connections between Don Studey and motorcycle clubs, reported ties to the Kansas City mob, and a direct connection to an unsolved supper club robbery where people were shot and killed. Multiple sources reportedly pointed at Studey as one of the participants. The community had been sitting on these stories for decades. Bob Motta was the first person they felt comfortable telling. This is part two of a conversation that changes how you see the Don Studey case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sarah hosts Jamie Glowacki on the Evolving Wellness Podcast to discuss how Jamie's background as a social worker led to her potty-training work, including the origin and growth of her “Oh Crap Potty Training” book and classes. They explore how parenting pressures and overwhelming information have intensified for modern moms, shifting Jamie's focus toward supporting mothers' well-being. The conversation turns to aging, perimenopause, and menopause, with Jamie describing a symptom-free transition and arguing that perimenopause can be a “report card” on health, emphasizing strength training, adequate dietary fat, and reducing endocrine disruptors. They also critique trendy, scripted health messaging—especially around HRT and telehealth—while acknowledging HRT can help some women. Additional topics include circadian eating, avoiding constant snacking, balancing seasonal/local foods, and simplifying family life to reduce stress.— Links Mentioned in the video:https://www.instagram.com/jamie.glowacki/?hl=en https://linktr.ee/jamieglowacki _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?

Most parents think the hardest part of raising a child with anxiety or OCD is figuring out what to do.But the truth is, learning the skills is just the beginning.In this episode, I walk you through the three stages parents naturally move through when learning to handle OCD, from that first moment of awareness, to the messy middle of trying to implement strategies, to the point where things start to feel more integrated and sustainable.Because knowing what to do and being able to actually do it consistently are two very different things.If you've ever found yourself second-guessing your responses, feeling stuck in patterns you know aren't helping, or wondering why this feels so much harder than it “should,” you are not alone.This episode will help you understand where you are in the process and why that middle stage can feel so overwhelming, even when you're doing everything “right.”And more importantly, it will help you see what kind of support actually makes a difference as you move forward.If you are a parent who knows what to do but struggles to follow through consistently, or you feel stuck in that in-between stage where nothing quite clicks yet, this episode is for you.❤️ For more in-depth support join the AT Parenting Community where we walk this journey with you.Resources: IOCDF Treatment GuidelinePodcast episode: The Power of the Pause***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Maryland, for my sins my home state, is almost completely controlled by the teachers unions—this was proven during COVID-19, when the state had among the longest school closures in the nation.

There was a time when staying on top of your family's schedule was actually pretty straightforward. A paper packet came home from school, the activity coordinator called the phone tree, and if you needed your partner to know something, you handed them the paper. Done. Information found you, and you could pass it along just as easily.Then came the apps, the portals, and the online enrollment systems, all with the promise that they would make things simpler, that you'd have everything right there on your phone. What actually happened is that you became the one who downloaded every app, created every login, and checked every portal, and now you're managing 10 different places just to know what's happening with your own kids this week. Technology didn't lighten the load. It just put it all in one person's pocket.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why the shift from paper to portals quietly moved all the responsibility onto one personHow being the one who enrolled became the same as being the only one who ever knows anythingWhy simply sharing a login doesn't actually solve the problemMentioned in the Episode:To get 15% off your own Skylight Calendar go to www.megansumrell.com/skylight and use code THEPINKBEE.________________________________

Dr. Adam Dorsay hosts SuperPsyched and interviews University of Nevada, Reno linguistics professor and author Dr. Valerie Fridland about her book "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents" and how accents shape identity. Fridland explains the title stems from how people label unfamiliar speech as “funny,” drawing on her upbringing in the South with French-speaking parents and the stigma and pride tied to Southern speech. She describes how children first learn language rhythms and sounds from parents (even in utero), then around ages four to five shift toward peer influence through “vernacular reorganization,” often retaining small traces of family speech. Fridland outlines how American regional dialects developed from settlement patterns and later cultural inputs, and discusses how comedians and politicians use marked accents to invoke stereotypes and solidarity. She also notes psycholinguistic research on cognitive fluency affecting judgments of trustworthiness, plus links between personality and speech features like fillers, and how familiarity drives perceptions of linguistic beauty.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Accents Fascinate Us01:21 Meet Valerie Fridland02:40 Growing Up With Accents06:23 Parents vs Peers10:50 How Kids Shift Accents14:50 Origins of US Dialects17:09 Colonies and Cultural Roots23:11 Melting Pot and Language Loss25:03 Why Accents Sound Funny29:50 Solidarity and Authenticity33:15 Accent Bias and Fluency38:10 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Valerie Fridland, PhDWhy We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents Book

I am perfectly comfortable condemning that full force.” He literally admitted it on her show yesterday and she said nothing. Russell Brand: "This isn't the time to play it safe.

There are not enough homes for every foster child, yet under the Biden administration, children were put in the system because of their parents' beliefs about gender, according to Assistant Secretary of Health Alex Adams. Adams, who oversees the Administration of Children and Families, is working to stop Child Protective Services from taking kids away from their families because the parents won't affirm the child's transgender identity. “When a child is removed from a family, you are inflicting permanent, irreversible harm on both the child as well as the parents,” Adams told The Daily Signal. “That's not a decision that should be made lightly, and it should be reserved to the most significant cases of abuse or neglect as judged by a court.”

In this eye-opening episode, Colleen O'Grady sits down with Dr. Maree Davies, cognitive psychology expert and author of Teaching Critical Thinking to Teenagers: How Kids Can Be Street Smart About AI, Algorithms, Fake News, and Social Media. Together they explore why critical thinking is one of the most essential life skills for today's teens—and how parents can help develop it at home. Dr. Davies explains how social media platforms and AI algorithms are designed to capture attention, influence thinking, and keep teens engaged. She shares practical ways parents can help teens become more aware, more curious, and less vulnerable to manipulation, misinformation, and online rabbit holes. This conversation is packed with wisdom for raising thoughtful, self-aware, and resilient teens in a digital world. Key Takeaways: 1. Critical thinking starts with curiosity, not lectures. Instead of telling teens what to think, ask questions like: Does that sound right to you? What do you think? Where could we verify that? Curiosity builds stronger thinkers than criticism. 2. Parents should model critical thinking out loud. When parents say things like, Hmm… I'm not sure that's true. Let's check another source, teens learn how thoughtful adults process information. 3. Teens need connection, not isolation, to navigate digital life well. When teens feel safe talking with parents about what they're seeing online, they are far more likely to ask for help, question misinformation, and make smarter choices. Memorable Quote: "Critical thinking is not something we do alone—it grows through talking, listening, and thinking together." – Dr. Maree Davies Learn More at: https://profiles.auckland.ac.nz/mj-davies Follow at: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/maree-davies-22a39411 Learn more about your ad choices.

Read OnlineJesus said: “I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.” John 10:11–13What is it that makes a shepherd “good?” A shepherd's duties require great sacrifice and time. Like a mother who is always attentive to her newborn, a shepherd devotes his time and energies to the care of his flock. In biblical times, shepherds often lived in caves on the outskirts of towns, where there were plenty of green pastures, space for the sheep to roam, and water sources. The caves provided a place of safety at night and shelter from the elements. During the day, the shepherd watched over the flock in an almost fatherly way, knowing that if he were to neglect his duties and become inattentive, a sheep could wander off or fall victim to a pack of wolves.Jesus expands this familiar image to convey an even greater reality of divine love and sacrifice. In today's Gospel, Jesus takes this image of a shepherd to a whole new level. He says: “A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Though this might not have been part of the normal job description of a shepherd, perhaps those who were listening would have made a connection. Some might have understood what Jesus taught in a figurative way, calling to mind the time and commitment shepherds make. And though there is a figurative lesson to be learned, Jesus' teaching was more than that.Jesus first identified Himself as the Good Shepherd. He then defines what that means: He will lay down His life for His sheep. Though His listeners likely missed His meaning, Saint John, while writing his Gospel, fully understood Jesus' words to be not only figurative but also literal—Jesus would die on the Cross for the sins of His sheep.The metaphor continues with Jesus contrasting a hired worker with a true shepherd of his own sheep. In the face of danger, a hired worker flees for his own safety, while the shepherd stands and fights for his sheep, even to death. This clearly depicts what Jesus has done for us, but it also reveals our duty toward all of God's people, His flock.As members of Christ's Body, the Church, we are called to share in His shepherding mission. Our vocations will especially dictate to us ways in which we are called to do so. Parents, for example, must be so devoted to their children that they value their children's lives more than their own. Priests and religious are called to be shepherds who guide and protect their flocks spiritually. Each of us, however, must participate in Christ's shepherding mission in the ways we are called. While the way this is lived will vary, the degree to which it is lived must not. We are all called to lead lives that are sacrificial, selfless, and wholly self-giving. Courageously and completely, we must lay our lives down for others, imitating the Good Shepherd's commitment to His flock.In communion with the Good Shepherd, we are invited to show this courage in daily acts of charity, fidelity to our commitments, and steadfast love for those entrusted to our care. Through this radical love, we reveal Christ's presence to the world and share in His mission to gather all into one fold under the divine Shepherd. As we continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection, we remember that this joy was won through the courageous love of our Good Shepherd.Reflect today on Jesus' perfect fulfillment of His mission to be the Good Shepherd. As you ponder His courage, sacrifice, and selfless love, know that He not only acts as the Good Shepherd to you, but He also invites you to share in His shepherding. How courageous are you when given the opportunity to be selfless for the good of another? How willing are you to seek the others' salvation, even at great cost to yourself? Charity is at the heart of Jesus' mission, and that same charity must permeate everything we do as we relate to those whom we are called to love. Honor and thank the Good Shepherd by participating in His mission and laying down your life for God's flock. My Good Shepherd, You have laid down Your life for us, Your sheep, dying a painful death on the Cross. Your courage and sacrifice save us from sin and the evil one, opening the path to eternal life. I accept Your selfless sacrifice in my life and commit to share in that sacrifice by laying my life down for others, so that they will come to know You and share in eternal life. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: The Good Shepherd, via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

This week, we're joined by the CEO of The Power of Girls, a program dedicated to building confidence, leadership, and cultural awareness in young girls. From international trips to real-life mentorship, they're shaping the next generation of women in a major way. We get into what “power” really means (and why it's not what you think), how confidence actually shows up in real life, and the fine line between being confident and being a people pleaser. Plus, we talk about social media pressure, body image, and why exposure matters more than perfection when it comes to raising girls. It's funny, it's honest, and it might have you rethinking your own definition of confidence.Offers From Our Sponsors:Drive Boost- VB HealthVisit soakingwet.com and use code CockTales for 10% off or click the link in the episode descriptionMORE OFFERS:BROOKLYN BEDDINGGo to brooklynbedding.com and use my promo code COCKTALESPOD at checkout to get 30% off sitewide.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the "burden of potential" and why being labeled a gifted child often leads to a cycle of burnout, perfectionism, and deep-seated shame. He argues that gifted children are actually "special needs" because their developmental requirements are fundamentally different from the average child, yet they are often forced into school systems that prioritize raw results over the vital study habits needed for long-term success. What to expect in this episode: The Trap of Raw Intellect: Why gifted kids often fail later in life because they "skip levels" of habit-building in early school years, leaving them without the skills to handle a "wall" where intelligence alone isn't enough. Mansion vs. Shack: A deep dive into why achieving high potential actually requires more work, not less, and how society's expectation that things should be "easier" for smart people sets them up for failure. The Shame Gap: Understanding how shame lives in the discrepancy between your lofty internal expectations and your actual accomplishments, leading to chronic avoidance and the "smart kid" ego. The "Scenic Route" in Life: Dr. K shares his personal journey from a 2.5 GPA in college to becoming Harvard faculty, illustrating how letting go of ego and comparison is essential for true progress. The "Surprise Me" Practice: A practical Nyani Yoga exercise for retraining your brain to embrace acceptance and let go of paralyzing expectations in everyday life. Matching the Pace of the Child: Why gifted kids are naturally drawn to video games, which perfectly match their challenge level, while traditional school often moves at a "snail's pace". Advice for Parents and Mentors: Why slowing down for a struggling gifted child is a mistake and why they often need more challenge, not less, to rediscover their motivation.
