What if the greatest gift you give your kids this Christmas is a heart of generosity—and the chance to change someone else’s world? This episode goes beyond stockings and wrapping paper to tackle one of the most pressing questions for believers during the holiday season: How do we practically teach our children the virtue of generosity, not just for the holidays, but for a lifetime—and in a way that makes a true, eternal difference? Answer: Plant seeds of generosity in your family with Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Gift Catalog, a unique way for families to give gifts that can transform lives around the globe. Browse the catalog and get involved at www.samaritanspurse.org/parent. Catherine welcomes Kristy Graham, host of the On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse podcast and wife to Edward Graham, part of the legacy family behind this renowned global relief ministry. With firsthand experience raising four children and witnessing God’s faithfulness in some of the most challenging corners of the globe, Kristy brings unmatched insight and compassion to this timely discussion. Editor's Note - this is a bonus feed drop, in partnership with Samaritan's Purse. Your Daily Prayer's regular episodes will continue on the 8th. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Transformative Giving - The Samaritan's Purse Christmas Gift Catalog: Learn how families can open a new kind of catalog—one offering goats, honeybees, water filters, heart surgeries, and more—to provide desperately needed gifts to people across the globe. Real Stories, Real Impact: Kristy recounts emotional, hope-filled stories: families in Iraq whose lives are remade by a simple beehive; a mother shattered by tragedy in need of purpose and dignity, restored by a brood of baby chicks; and the power of a $9 donation to feed a hungry infant and spark the hope of the Gospel for a mother who feels forgotten. Generosity That Changes Hearts—Including Our Own: Discover practical ways to involve your kids in picking out gifts, writing cards for teachers in someone’s honor, or pairing a meaningful donation with something tangible. Biblical Parallels: Kristy and Catherine share how the work of Samaritan’s purse brings to life the stories of Ruth, who gleaned what benevolent benefactors left for those less fortunate, and Hagar, who met the God who saw her need. Seeds of the Gospel: Every gift given through Samaritan’s Purse meets physical needs—and intentionally opens doors for the life-changing message of Christ. Whether it’s a water well, a jar of honey, or a vital medical procedure, these gifts become vehicles for sharing hope and introducing recipients to the God who truly sees them. Call to Action: This Christmas, will your family give a gift that extends beyond your home?Explore life-changing opportunities at samaritanspurse.org/parent as a family, and ask your kids: “How can we be part of God’s story of hope this Christmas?”Let your generosity become a legacy of faith, planting seeds for eternity.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again gave you the opportunity to sit in on another powerful conversation with the leading expert on the human brain as he discussed the connection between how we think and how we feel. He also explained how the powerful impact of chronic physical and emotional pain are rooted in the brain and what we need to do to reclaim a life that is pain free and vibrant once again. The stories have made their way from sub-Saharan Africa to the news feeds and broadcasts around the world. The violent killings of Christians continues unabated. We told you about an effort that you can be a part of which is providing much needed help to those who are suffering under this monstrous persecution. The mainstream acceptance of assisted suicide is leading to a dangerous trend in the U.K. as support for hospice care is being dropped in favor of euthanasia. We were visited once again by a friend to the program who is on the front lines of fighting the unique God-given dignity of humanity who explained how to transformation took place and commented on the once famous Germans twins who committed assisted suicide recently at the age of 89. Using his own life story as a foundation a chaplain & retired Brigadier General learned how despite disappointments and setbacks that can challenge us that we can always hold on to the truth that God is still for us. His story encouraged us to continue to press on in faith despite the circumstance and setbacks that we face. Parents today have to be on guard like never before to protect their children from predators and other dangers that are roaming around in the cyber world and the real world waiting to seduce them. She gave us strategies for speaking in age-appropriate ways to your kids about those dangers without creating fear while setting real and practical boundaries. Janet and Craig invite you once again for another important conversation as we go behind headlines to find the story behind the stories.

By January 2007, all five suspects were in custody. Prosecutors had charged them with 46 counts including murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Between 2008-2010, four separate trials resulted in convictions. It seemed like justice had finally been served and the families could breathe. Then a scandal involving the judge, who presided over the trials, would rock their worlds. Because of his demons, the families would have to go through it all over again.Support ResourcesFor Survivors of Violence:https://www.rainn.org/ - RAINN (1-800-656-4673)https://www.thehotline.org/ - National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)https://www.crisistextline.org/ - Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741)https://988lifeline.org/ - 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineFor Families of Murder Victims:https://www.pomc.org/ - Parents of Murdered Childrenhttps://victimsofcrime.org/ - National Center for Victims of Crimehttps://www.ncvc.org/ - National Crime Victim Law InstituteSources:https://www.newspapers.com/ (Historical archive - subscription required)https://www.knoxnews.com/ (Search "Christian Newsom" for extensive archive)https://abcnews.go.com/ (Search "Channon Christian")https://www.cnn.com/ (Coverage of trials and scandal)https://www.foxnews.com/ (Michelle Malkin coverage 2007)https://www.wbir.com/ (WBIR-TV extensive trial coverage)https://www.wate.com/ (WATE 6 On Your Side)https://www.wvlt.tv/ (WVLT Local 8 News)https://www.tncourts.gov/ (Tennessee State Courts)https://www.tsc.state.tn.us/ (Tennessee Supreme Court opinions)https://www.knoxcounty.org/criminal/ (Knox County Criminal Court)https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/ (Tennessee case law database)https://scholar.google.com/ (Search: "State v.

Send us a textWe hit “Go Live” to close our longest season yet and lean into a simple truth: growth beats perfect. Holiday crunch time made the choice easy—pivot, try the new thing, and share what's working for educators and parents who want less noise and more clarity. We review the milestone that mattered most this year—CPD credits for listeners—so your professional learning can count toward recertification while you collect practical strategies you'll actually use.Across the season, AI literacy became a defining throughline. We highlight four standout conversations featuring innovators who make AI useful, ethical, and human-centered. From Endless Studios and its free pathway for students to build real portfolios, to teacher- and parent-friendly guidance on boundaries, citations, and transparency, we map a path from curiosity to confident use. You'll hear about Notebook LM for source-grounded studying that turns dense readings into clear summaries and audio explainers, Canva AI for building interactive learning games in minutes, and InstaLesson for drafting adaptable, standards-aligned lessons that save precious time.We also talk candidly about moving to video, why showing the unpolished version matters, and how small rituals—at school and at home—keep everyone steady when routines fall apart. Parents get practical advice on setting expectations and modeling ethical AI use, while teachers get permission to start small, iterate, and invite students to use tools responsibly rather than banning them. Innovation, we argue, is about people first and tools second; relationships and good judgment turn new tech into better learning.Season four launches January 15 with more conversations, more practical resources, and more human stories from the brighter side of education.

Leading by the String #RTTBROS #Nightlight"And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant." — Matthew 20:27You know, I love simple lessons that pack a powerful punch. General Dwight D. Eisenhower used to teach leadership in a way that stuck with people for the rest of their lives. He'd hand someone a piece of string and tell them to push it into a straight line. They'd try and try, but that string would just bunch up and go nowhere. Then he'd pick up one end and gently pull it, and that string would follow wherever he led it, smooth as could be.Then came the application: "Leaders lead from the front by example, not by pushing from behind."I've been thinking about that lately, and here's what strikes me. Too often, we try to push people into doing what we want. Parents push their kids. Bosses push their employees. Even in the church, sometimes we push people toward spiritual growth. But all that pushing does is create resistance, frustration, and a tangled mess.Jesus knew this. When His disciples were arguing about who would be the greatest in the kingdom, He didn't push them into humility. He showed them. "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). He led by example.Here's what I'm too soon old and too late smart about: people don't follow what we say nearly as much as they follow what we do. If I want my kids to love God's Word, they need to see me in it. If I want my team at work to show up on time and give their best effort, I better be doing the same thing. If I want people around me to walk in grace and forgiveness, I need to be living it out myself.The beautiful thing about pulling that string is it goes wherever you lead it, turn by turn. But there's responsibility in that too. We can pull too hard and drag people off their feet. We can pull inconsistently and lose their trust. Or we can forget we're supposed to be leading and let the team pull us in whatever direction feels comfortable.The question isn't whether people are watching us. They are. The question is: what are they seeing? Are we pushing from behind, demanding they go where we won't? Or are we out front, showing them the way, inviting them to follow?Jesus didn't stay in heaven and shout instructions down at us. He came down, walked among us, and said, "Follow me." And because He led by example, even to the cross, people have been following Him for over two thousand years.Let's pray: Father, help us to lead like Jesus, not by pushing others but by pulling them forward through our example. Give us the integrity to walk the path before we ask others to follow. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Leadership #ChristianLiving #DailyDevotion #LeadByExample #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe—it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Why do so many parents tiptoe gingerly around their children in today's world? More and more parents are afraid to step up, take the reins, and assume their God-given position of authority. Instead, parents have become like butlers, available to wait on and serve their kids' every desire and whim. Fearing rejection, we sometimes go against our better judgment and God's design to say yes when we should be saying no. God established the family with a pecking order. Those who are older and wiser are charged with the duty of raising, nurturing, and protecting those who are young and not-so- wise. In other words, parents are to parent their children. Dad, mom: you have a God-given responsibility to love your teenager, to guide them through life, to protect them from harm, and to provide for their well-being.

Kids are not trying to make your life harder. Parents are not supposed to know everything. Most of what we think of as “bad behavior” is actually a nervous system short-circuiting. And most of what parents call “failure” is really lack of support. Dr. Becky joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation about tantrums, overwhelm, shame, lying, attachment, repair, and what it means to grow up in a world that was never designed to support families. This episode explains why kids explode, why adults collapse, and why the most important sentence a parent can say is “I am still here.” If you want to understand your child, your parents, or yourself, this episode is worth your time.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're diving into a question that has so many layers: When does parenting actually begin?In this episode, I'm joined by Kate Littlefield—a therapist, mom of twins, and all-around incredible human, to explore how parenting starts long before birth. We talk about how our own histories, our inner child work, and our nervous systems all shape the way we show up in the caregiving experience. From navigating different needs in a family of unique humans, to figuring out how to parent intentionally in a way that's true to you, this conversation is about letting go of one-size-fits-all parenting advice and embracing the idea that thoughtful, connected parenting can look different for every family.Alright folks, let's dive in.

When a family member rejects your disabled or medically complex child, whether through subtle distancing or outright exclusion, it creates a kind of hurt that's difficult to shake. In this episode, Madeline and Alyssa talk through the many ways that rejection shows up in families: minimizing your child's needs, ignoring their diagnosis, designing gatherings your family can't access, ghosting you because emotionally engaging is too hard, or outright excluding or belittling your child.Drawing from hundreds of community responses, we explore the emotional impact of these experiences—the isolation, the grief, the disappointment, and the shift in how we see these family bonds once these hurtful patterns emerge. We also touch on the clarity that can come from moments like this: boundaries that become necessary, expectations that change, and the people who rise to the occasion when others don't.If you've ever felt this kind of hurt from the people closest to you, we hope you feel seen and understood after this episode.And a big thanks to our sponsor for this episode, the makers of the incredible documentary, The Zebra & The Bear!Links:Watch The Zebra & The Bear (coming to streaming platforms the day after Thanksgiving!)Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.

Today, we're sharing a special live recording of The Disagreement at the Harvard Graduate School of Education*. Our topic: Parents' Rights and K-12 Curriculum. This is our first live recording in a university class, and we are incredibly appreciative of Professor Jim Peyser and his students for having us.This episode was sparked by the judgement in the recent Supreme Court case, Mahmoud v. Taylor (24-297), which ruled in favor of allowing parents to “opt-out” children from lessons that did not align with their religious beliefs. It was a highly controversial ruling and has the potential to reshape U.S. public education on both national and local levels.*A Note: The Harvard Graduate School of Education recently launched the Dialogue Across Differences initiative, which fosters conversations on a wide range of topics from diverse perspectives. Please note that the views and opinions expressed by our guests today are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect those of HGSE or Harvard University.The Questions:To what extent should parents be allowed to opt their children out of K-12 school curriculum and courses?In a pluralistic society, how should decisions about what should—and should not—be part of school curriculum be made and by whom?To what extent is exposing children to views that differ from their religious, cultural, or ideological beliefs an essential component of, or threat to, public education?The GuestsJennifer Berkshire is a writer and co-host of a biweekly podcast on education, policy, and politics, Have You Heard?

In today's Regretful Parents episode, Erika and Kristen dive into a viral story from the I Regret Having Children Facebook page — and this time, it's not a confession but a financial horror story. An Ohio mom's TikTok exploded online after revealing the NICU bill for her premature quadruplets: $4.04 million. Erika and Kristen unpack the wild reality of childbirth costs in America, why one medical complication can financially ruin a family overnight, and how unpredictable — and brutally expensive — pregnancy and birth can be. Inside this episode:• A NICU bill for quadruplets that hit $4 million• Why childbirth and complications are financially catastrophic in the U.S.• Parents of twins facing $11 million in NICU charges• How insurance actually works (and doesn't) for medically complex births• Hidden hospital costs, nonsense itemized charges & billing scams• Why “just have kids” ignores medical and financial reality• The emotional toll of raising premature or medically fragile infants• Why the childfree movement keeps gaining traction• The fear, uncertainty, and chaos behind “miracle baby” stories• Why influencers oversimplify parenthood into “children are a blessing”• U.S. healthcare vs. Europe's systems — and who ends up paying

From packing bulky gear to ensuring cleanliness and safety, parents often find themselves overwhelmed. BabyQuip, led by CEO and founder Fran Maier, provides a simple, effective solution. BabyQuip connects traveling families with local providers of baby gear, offering a trusted marketplace for renting everything from cribs to strollers.Fran shared how her experience as a mother and Airbnb host inspired BabyQuip. “I did not want to buy, store, clean, take care of baby gear for guests,” she explained. Her entrepreneurial instincts led her to harness the gig economy, creating opportunities for over 3,000 providers—mostly moms—who deliver, set up, and clean the rented gear. “We're a marketplace, like Turo or Airbnb. We really harness the energy and dedication of our providers,” she added.This innovative model addresses a significant need in the $3 trillion U.S. travel industry. Parents flying with children no longer need to lug heavy gear or worry about availability at their destination. Fran noted, “It's an acute need, because it's something you need at a specific time in a specific place.”The company's success is evident. BabyQuip now operates in 28 countries, recently partnered with Vrbo, and has earned a Good Housekeeping award for innovative travel solutions. This year, the company expects to fulfill over 120,000 orders and even achieved profitability in Q3.BabyQuip is poised for further growth, with plans to expand into mobility equipment and international markets. To fuel this expansion, Fran is raising capital on StartEngine via a regulated crowdfunding campaign. “I have a brand that customers love. Crowdfunding lets me invite them to be part of the journey,” she explained.By addressing a real pain point for families and leveraging the gig economy, BabyQuip is redefining the travel experience for parents everywhere.tl;dr:BabyQuip solves the hassle of traveling with baby gear by connecting families to local providers.The company operates in 28 countries and has fulfilled over 120,000 orders this year alone.BabyQuip recently partnered with Vrbo and won a Good Housekeeping award for travel innovation.Fran Maier is raising capital on StartEngine to fund expansion into mobility and international markets.Fran's superpower is her visionary instinct for building trusted brands that solve real problems.How to Develop Visionary Instinct As a SuperpowerFran's superpower is her ability to “see things and get it” instinctively. She described how her entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by her knack for identifying potential in ideas and turning them into trusted brands. As Fran explained, “I've been the one who came in and looked at [ideas] and said, ‘Oh, I can do something with this.'” Her marketing background and experience enable her to see how businesses can grow, make an impact, and solve real problems for people.Fran's visionary instinct was on full display when she co-founded Match.com in the mid-1990s. At the time, the internet was in its infancy, and many doubted its potential. Fran, however, immediately recognized its transformative possibilities. “When I first saw the internet, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is going to change everything,'” she recalled. She joined Match to build a trusted brand, foreseeing the massive societal shift toward online dating that would follow.Tips for Developing Visionary Instinct:Trust Your Gut: Pay attention to your instincts when evaluating new ideas or opportunities.Immerse Yourself in Trends: Stay informed about industry shifts and emerging technologies to spot opportunities early.Practice Pattern Recognition: Look for recurring themes or challenges in your field that you can address.Build on Experience: Leverage knowledge from past successes and failures to inform your decisions.Think Big: Envision not just the product but the larger impact and scale it can achieve.By following Fran's example and advice, you can make visionary instinct a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Episode SummaryWhat happens when athletic excellence outpaces spiritual maturity? In this powerful conversation, Coach Drake Reed—former professional basketball player, high-school coach, and author—reveals the hidden spiritual battles facing young athletes today.From locker rooms and college campuses to overseas professional leagues, Drake exposes why many Christian athletes collapse after success, not before it. This episode challenges parents, coaches, and athletes to rethink discipleship, identity, and preparation.Athletic training alone is not enough. Without spiritual armor, discipline, and practical prayer, talent becomes a liability instead of a calling. If you're raising, coaching, or are an athlete navigating modern sports culture, this conversation is not optional listening—it's essential.Main Discussion Themes-Identity in Christ vs. identity as an athlete-Why young athletes need spiritual training before visibility and fame-The unseen spiritual pressures in college and professional sports-Practical prayer, protection, and biblical literacy for athletes-Why parents must disciple earlier than feels comfortable-Coaching as spiritual shepherding, not just skill development-Faith, discipline, and stewardship of athletic influenceTimestamped Outline 00:00 – 05:30 Clarksville roots, shared athletic culture, and spiritual intentionality in sports05:30 – 12:00 From elite athlete to globe-trotting professional basketball career12:00 – 18:00 Identity crisis: Athlete first, Christ later—why this breaks young men18:00 – 26:30 Why Christian athletes are dangerously unprepared when they leave home26:30 – 33:30 Coaching as discipleship: practical spiritual “drills,” not vague faith talk33:30 – 40:30 Spiritual warfare in sports culture (college, overseas, media attention)40:30 – 49:00 Phones, social media, and unguarded spiritual access to young athletes49:00 – 56:30 Parents, models, and influence: what kids absorb before discernment forms56:30 – 01:02:00 Prayer, protection, and declarations over athletes and familiesMove Forward Today✅Get Coach Alex's new book today!

I've found a surprising overlap between being a parent and serving as a wealth advisor. As the dad of teenage triplets plus one, I know firsthand how both roles bring their share of chaos and noise. Whether I'm spending weekends at humid, high-energy swim meets supporting my competitive swimmer daughter, or helping families navigate a financial landscape filled with political turmoil, inflation, and AI uncertainty, the challenges are real—but so are the rewards. What I've learned is that hope keeps us coming back, both as parents and advisors. Being around fellow swim parents reminds me of the importance of community, and how being a calming influence is vital—whether for a child after a tough meet or a family facing big financial decisions. Drawing inspiration from experts like our resident therapist, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, and my friend Hal Hirschfeld, author of "Your Future Self," I explore how stepping back, keeping perspective, and focusing on growth can help us turn lemons into lemonade.

It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to see that there's been a decline in parental sideline behavior over the course of the last few years. I recently watched a viral video where a referee had to stop a girls' soccer game to address a parent who was allegedly heckling him over his calls. The video caught him saying this: “Do I look like I should be doing seven games in twenty-four hours. No I don't. You know why I'm doing seven games in twenty-four hours? Because there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to do this. Do you understand that? And most of the time people that are unwilling to do it is because of you people.” He ended with this: “So why don't you just grow up.” Parents we need to take seriously the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans twelve eighteen: “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Are allowing the good gift of youth sports to become an idol in your life? If so, take steps to change your priorities!

In this first solo show for December, the host, Larry Hagner, comes to the audience with anger and urgency to discuss a massive, sinister online threat targeting children through seemingly innocent games like Roblox and Minecraft. Drawing heavily from a recent Sean Ryan Show interview with ethical hacker Ryan Montgomery (Episode 255), the host alerts parents to the dark fringes of the internet and a dangerous group, 764, described as a dark web cult with an "indifference" belief that lives and families mean nothing.   The episode features the heartbreaking, public post from Adam and Amanda Tate whose 15-year-old son, Bryce Tate, tragically took his own life after being a victim of sextortion. The host details how these criminals build trust, escalate quickly (the Tate tragedy occurred in just three hours), and use threats of public exposure to manipulate vulnerable children. Beyond sextortion, the episode warns about extreme acts of self-harm, pet-killing, and even violence against family members being coerced for things as trivial as Roblox Robux.   The host emphasizes that parental awareness is the only defense. He strongly recommends using a parental monitoring software like Bark (about $15/month) to monitor online chats, text messages, and social media, allowing parents to get immediate alerts and intervene before tragedy strikes.

Speed is Critical—Intervention Must Be Immediate. The sextortion process is incredibly fast. A child can be manipulated into a catastrophic decision in as little as three to six hours, as seen in the Bryce Tate tragedy, highlighting the crucial need for immediate digital awareness and monitoring. The Stakes Are Life and Death. These criminals are professionals who exploit children's innocence and sense of shame, often leading victims to take their own lives. The host argues this is a heinous crime, describing the acts as being "murdered... through his phone".  Awareness is the Only Defense. Parents cannot protect their children unless they know what is happening. The host urges parents to research the topic (especially the Sean Ryan Show interview with Ryan Montgomery) to understand the depth of the technological and psychological infiltration. Protect Your Kids with Technology and Ongoing Conversation. While open, ongoing conversations are vital, parental monitoring tools like Bark are essential for a safety net. Bark monitors 30+ apps and texts, sending immediate alerts to parents, allowing intervention within minutes to stop a fast-moving threat.   LINKS Podcast Shownotes: https://thedadedge.com/1409 Bark: Parental Monitoring Software: https://thedadedge.com/bark #255 Ryan Montgomery - Roblox & Minecraft: Hacker Exposes the Largest Online Video Games: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GPd36fFPuLsBSlZp6WUvc?si=7BfOCdNOTzuoW4LkvHzyAA #JusticeforBryce - Adam Tate's Official Announcement: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=32876961955250751&id=100000911118224&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=nnmVU8LFIdec2oLO# Pentester: https://pentester.com Ryan Montgomery: https://www.youtube.com/@0dayCTF

Why do leaders jump so quickly to giving advice? And why does it so often backfire? In this episode, Michael Bungay Stanier explains why the “advice monster” is one of our biggest leadership liabilities—and how seven simple questions can help you listen better, coach smarter, and build stronger connections. Filled with humor, story, empathy, and practical scripts, this episode is a masterclass in everyday leadership.Memorable Quotes“When you ask a question and they actually have to think about it, you're literally creating new neural pathways in their brain—or at least they're creating their own neural pathways—so they're literally becoming smarter right in front of you.”“More deeply than an ‘answer,' much of the time people want to feel deeply heard, deeply seen, and deeply encouraged. And your ‘answer' often means they feel less seen, less heard, and less encouraged.”“One of the great moments of claiming adulthood is being clear on what you want to say ‘yes' to—and knowing that inevitably you have to say ‘no' to things to get that.”“Every time you jump in with your ideas and your opinions and your advice—particularly if it's your default reaction—you're basically reinforcing, ‘I'm better than you are. I'm smarter and wiser and older and faster and just generally better than you. You are not as good as I am.' There's a degree to which you're diminishing that other person rather than helping them.”“There's a time and a place where [giving advice] is the right thing to be doing. The way I define coaching is: Can you stay curious a little bit longer? Can you rush to action and advice-giving a little bit more slowly?”“One of the phrases I've started saying to people who are going through a tough time is simply, ‘I'm Team Michael. I'm Team Megan.…I'm Team whoever that person might be.' It's my way of saying, ‘I love you and I want the best for you, and I don't even know what to do—or I can't think of anything to do—so I'm just trying to be with you in this moment.'”“One of the questions that I've found most helpful—particularly if I'm the more senior person in the relationship—is: ‘What needs to be said that hasn't yet been said?'”Key TakeawaysThe “Advice Monster” Is Real. Our instinct to help by offering answers often diminishes others. Curiosity, not certainty, is what truly empowers people.Questions Create Ownership. When people generate their own ideas, they're more confident, more committed, and more capable.Seven Questions Change Everything. Michael's practical framework gives you a simple playbook for better conversations. His personal favorite? “And what else?”Curiosity Deepens Every Relationship. Parents, partners, bosses—everyone benefits when you resist the urge to fix and choose to listen instead.Better Conversations Start With Permission. Rather than assume what someone needs, lead with humility and ask: How can I be most useful here?Coaching Is for Everyday Life. You don't have to be a professional coach for this to matter. These tools transform team meetings, parenting moments, and even difficult conversations at home.ResourcesThe Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay StanierThe Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierHow to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay StanierBox of Crayons (Curiosity-driven leadership program)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/WOjq8aMbr5kThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
