Parenting our children and teens in ways that brings out the best in them and in ourselves requires intentionality, mindfulness and a commitment . These are the pillars in purposeful parenting that I talk about in this episode. These pillars will help guide us as we take on the kind of parenting required for 2024 and beyond. The issues and challenges that many children face in today's world are so rampant that there is no chance that parenting can be justified to remain the same. Parenting should evolve. Stagnant parents will be left behind and I am glad that we are choosing not to stay stagnant. We are evolving and purposeful parents EPP

Over the two-and-a-half years I've been writing The New Fatherhood, I've had conversations with some great thinkers and doers that have made me consider fatherhood, and my experience of being a dad, in a new light. I've featured some of these exchanges in the newsletter before, but thanks to recent advances in AI I've been able to take old recordings and whip them up into near-studio quality.As a parent, I know your time is precious, and am grateful for every minute you spend here. I wanted to find a way to share these interviews in a fatherhood-friendly way—because ain't nobody got time for a two-hour unedited conversation. After reading the average school run was 28 minutes long, I'm aiming for each episode to hit this length. That way, you should be able to fit it in whilst on your way home, or to work, after dropping off the kids. Each discussion will come with a companion essay, which can always be found at https://www.thenewfatherhood.org/podcastWe're opening this series with author Daniel H. Pink. Our conversation was recorded early last year after the release of his wonderful book The Power of Regret, which invited readers to consider this often-maligned emotion in a new light. I've got more episodes in the can that will be gracing your ears soon, covering the same topics we regularly return to here. You can expect one new episode every month—that feels like a cadence that won't destroy me?!—and I'm beyond excited to share them with you. A very special thank you to Max McCabe who is taking the reins on the audio production and killing it right out of the gate.Quotes:"Parenting is offering something beyond hedonic pleasure-driven satisfaction. It's delivering something more important, it's delivering meaning, it's delivering purpose, it's delivering love." - Daniel Pink"Very few people regretted having a kid even though we know from other research that when we have kids, that when we're raising kids, you know, the first 20 years or so that having kids actually reduces our day-to-day hedonic satisfaction and well-being." - Daniel PinkTimestamps:00:00 - Introduction and Kevin Maguire's admiration for Pink's work.00:54 - The scientific approach to understanding regret.08:22 - Few people regret having children despite challenges.09:44 - Rarity of regrets about not having children.10:06 - Confessions of marital infidelity from submissions to the World Regret Survey.13:37 - Educational divide and its impact on parenting styles.15:01 - Encouragement to take action and try new things as a parent.15:32 - The importance of a slight bias for action.16:20 - Challenges and considerations in deciding to have children.16:33 - Comparing regrets of bad marriages to regrets of having children.Key LinksFind out more about Daniel PinkBuy The Power of Regret Get full access to The New Fatherhood at www.thenewfatherhood.org/subscribe

This episode is actually the second part of a two-part series on parenting kids and equipping them spiritually.

Many parents are sending their children into the world with zero spiritual tools. This isn't judgment. This is a fact. A lot of kids have nothing to combat all of the things the enemy throws at them every day, and the enemy launches big missiles at kids. He exposes them to sex and pornography as early as elementary school. He even starts inundating them with identity issues. Kids are in a constant battle whether we realize it or not. This episode is part one of a two part series on parenting kids and equipping them spiritually. Parents are the most influential people in their child's spiritual growth journey, so it's important that parents be the first teacher and model of what it is like to be a believer in and follower of Christ. Even if you don't currently have kids or if you have no plans of having your own kids, you may still find yourself parenting someone's kids and needing to teach them spiritual tools. The dictionary defines a parent as a person who brings up and cares for another. I invited minister Karen Malone on to help us in this area. This episode is packed with so much valuable information to help guide you along the way of teaching spiritual tools.  Min. Karen L. Malone serves as Senior Director of Family Ministry at Faith Chapel in Birmingham, AL where she has served in full-time ministry for over 11 years.  She has a passion for serving and supporting others in expanding their influence, and believes in developing our next generation leaders at a young age, so that they grow up as bold and courageous leaders for Christ. Karen taught for 11 years in the Madison City School district in Madison, Alabama before transitioning into full-time ministry at Faith Chapel. Her first ministry, as well as her greatest honor and achievement is being the wife of Min. Tyrone Malone and mother of their two beautiful children.

Welcome to the Flow and Flourish Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, entrepreneurs or a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sisters, or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don't take inventory of where you're at on a regular basis. In this episode, I sit down with none other than my other half, Chef Darius Rhone. We talk about the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to parenting. We share details, perspectives and stories of how we've evolved as parents, and the work it took for us to get to the place that we are now.

Perhaps one of the most interesting social developments in the 20th century was the development of a unique social group between children and adults called "teenagers." This created a new interlude of social development and self-defining for young people. This new demographic of teenager lowered expectations for young people. We all rise to the expectations set for us and these new lower expectations keep teenagers from becoming what they potentially could be. Teenagers are young adults; they ought to act like young adults. However, they do face unique challenges that we would be naïve to ignore.

Together, they reflected and inquired about our relationship with understanding, how autonomy and trust are intertwined, the many layers around discomfort, compassion, trust, and then some.Let's agree to disagreeOur two hosts reflect on what they've been noticing around their relationships and pause work, on the importance of taking the space to go through certain feelings, crying, for example, as a liberation practice. As our hosts speak and share their stories, pausing and understanding emerge as key components in the trust work that builds up community and healthy partnership.Check some of the offerings the listeners gave us during this Listening Party Live Chat“In my family, disagreement equals disrespect.” - Erica“For me, I've been working on shedding the belief that needing to be understood equals being loved. I think I've tried so hard to get the members of my family to understand me when I think what I was really looking for was compassion, and not actually needing to be understood.” - Ana Maria“I'm feeling into understanding so much more as a verb, it's not a set destination, it's movement, it shifts, morphs and transforms.” - JonieCareese shares some thoughts about Ieishah's reflection on gentle parenting as a privilege.

Welcome #fofcpod fam! This episode is the continuation of our Listening Party Replay around the letter A (for Absences) in PAUSE. We'll be inquiring more about what's missing, understanding, compassion, and boundaries as we navigate through the ups and downs that may arise from this PAUSEwerk. Domari of Positive and Purposeful Parenting is in da house along with Ana Maria, Lou, Antoinette, and Joni who joined us in the Live Chat. Let's get into it!Domari named some of the things she has been noticing around her relationship with her children. The words that resonated the most for her were compassion and trust. She reflects on what compassion looks like for her and also questions the misconception around what productivity means, and how sometimes she had struggled by feeling bad and unproductive for resting, being “lazy”.Boundaries do not require understandingOur hosts chat about boundaries and the layers around them. Akilah mentions the struggles we might face with different parts of ourselves: the compassionate self (intuitive) vs the schoolish self, and mentioned the patois that needs to be created to hold our intentions, the other person's intentions, and the thing we're looking to create.Akilah also shares the importance of trustwork, seeing relationships not as transactional/productive but as connections, as in what we notice together and what our healing work looks like.This week's pull from the Raising Free People practice deck revealed the Layer card (same card from the last pull):Layer: If I can access grace in this moment, I may choose to offer it in honor of all the many layers that comprise this person I love. And if I do, might that be enough for me, for now?Next week we'll be having a deep conversation about U for understanding, but for now, Madd Question Askin' time:How can I check in with children about what they feel they need from me?What's being communicated in this moment?Which layer am I focusing on right now?Which layer feels present?LIBERATION WALKGive us some feedback about this episode, reflect inside FOFC Village, or directly in our Make It Happen Family on PatreonShare some thoughts and press that “Leave a Voice Message” button on the right side or email Akilah and think about what feels missing? at she@raisingfreepeople.comSubscribe to Akilah's Youtube ChannelSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/akilah)

Akilah talks about the struggles and worries that may show up for parents around how and whether learning is happening, and how pausing can offer the space we often need to learn how to recognize and trust learning.“I've now started to look at my children's resistance as one of their gifts. One of the things that society—which I am part of—didn't pry out of their hands.” - AkilahAkilah speaks about Marley and Sage's approaches to resolving conflicts, and how much she is learning from their approaches. Both hosts also speak about the nuances of the term “readiness,” and the role of resistance as a powerful gift in our efforts to raise free people.Throughout Akilah and Domari's convo there are 10 points of Madd Question Askin' energy for you to get into:What brings you pleasure?What does pleasure look and feel like to you?How would you define pleasure for you right now?

So this season, we invite your consent to show up as you are, slow down, and feel into the ups and downs of this 70-day pause journey.Starting next week, each letter in PAUSE will get our full attention with two episodes each: - the first episode will bring you into the work with a story, a song, or a skit; the second episode will be live, and we'll invite you to play and struggle through that aspect of pause.Acronym:P is for Pain Points: What's the matter? What took you here? What's hurting them? What's coming up for you and your relationship with yourself or your family?A is for absences: What's missing? What feels lost or otherwise missing from your relevant relationships?U is for understanding: dialogue as a practice; conscious parenting; how have you been operating as a parent or educator? Under what premises?S for sorting or shedding: What's good for your family and what might need releasing or re-imagining?E for exploration: what are some resources you can tap into, based on where you are right now?Then we'll keep that going until we feel all the way through P-A-U-S-E. Through this game, Akilah and Domari will engage you beyond the moment to feel the PAUSE as an experience.
