Are you raising your teen to follow directions—or are you helping them become someone others want to follow? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Pam Manfredo-Curtis, author of The Origin of a Leader: Transforming Family Patterns into Leadership Power. Pam shares a fascinating idea: our earliest experiences at home shape how we communicate, handle conflict, build relationships, and ultimately lead. And because our kids are learning these skills first from us, developing leadership in our teens starts with looking at what we are modeling at home. We explore the difference between dictating and influencing. When moms are afraid—afraid our teen will fail, make a bad choice, or get hurt—it's easy to move into telling, correcting, and lecturing. But Pam explains that leadership grows when we create emotional safety, listen with empathy, stay curious about our teen's perspective, and give them opportunities to think for themselves. Sometimes the most powerful question isn't, “How do I get my teen to do this?” but “Why are they showing up this way?” We also talk about the importance of pacing—knowing when to push and when to pause. Moms often feel pressure to address everything immediately, but our teens don't need one big mother lecture; they need thousands of small conversations over time. When we calm ourselves, listen, and connect our guidance to what our teens want for their own lives, we move from controlling their behavior to helping them develop confidence, self-agency, and genuine leadership. 3 Takeaways Leadership starts at home. Your teen is learning how to communicate, handle conflict, listen, and influence others by watching how you do it. Trade dictating for curiosity. Instead of immediately telling your teen what to do, ask: What do you think? Why is this important to you? How do you think you should handle this? Know when to pause. You don't have to teach every lesson in the moment. Creating emotional safety and choosing the right timing can make your influence far more powerful.

What does biblical manhood actually look like—and how do you raise sons who understand it in a culture sending them conflicting messages about what it means to be a man? Pastor and author Jerome Gay Jr. joins Kent and Lawson to talk about raising godly men, emotional maturity, respect, father wounds, and why Jesus—not social media influencers or cultural stereotypes—must be our ultimate model for masculinity. Jerome shares lessons from his new book, How to Speak Man: Discovering the Respect Languages Men Need, including the five "respect languages" of significance, support, sex, silence, and space. He also explains why men need to learn how to acknowledge and communicate their emotions without being controlled by them. They discuss how dads can move from constantly telling their kids what they're against to giving them a compelling vision of what they're for, how to teach sons biblical apologetics in the age of smartphones, and why fathers need to be "compelling, not combative" when engaging both their children and the culture. Jerome also speaks directly to the dad who feels like he has already blown it. Your upbringing, failures, and mistakes may have consequences—but they do not have to permanently define the kind of father you become. In this episode: Raising boys into godly men Biblical masculinity and the example of Jesus Helping sons develop emotional maturity Recovering from an unhealthy relationship with your own father The five respect languages men need Creating safety and communication in marriage Teaching kids apologetics and biblical truth Becoming a compelling, not combative, Christian dad What to do when you feel like you've failed as a father   If you want to lead your family with greater courage, tenderness, wisdom, and purpose, this conversation will give you practical biblical tools to start.   Get Jerome Gay Jr.'s book: How to Speak Man: Discovering the Respect Languages Men Need on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS47NZ8H   You are not a father on accident.

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

Children often worry about exams, friendships, social situations, expectations and disappointing their parents. But when does normal worry become something more?In this episode of TALRadio, Dr. Ashwati Nair, practicing psychologist, life coach and founder of Vedas Mind Health, explores the psychology behind childhood anxiety and the “worry loop” that can make small concerns feel overwhelming.She explains why telling an anxious child to “calm down” may not always help and shares practical strategies parents can use, including naming emotions, the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique and creating a dedicated “worry time.”The episode also explores the importance of emotional safety, healthy routines and modelling healthy coping skills at home.Because an anxious child does not need a perfect parent. They need a calm, compassionate and understanding one.Host: Dr Aswathi Nair https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-aswathi-r-s-nair-63904233/https://vedhashub.com/

Pastor and author Tyler Staton joins David Thomas for an honest conversation about prayer, parenting, and his journey through advanced-stage cancer. Tyler shares creative ways families can help children engage with prayer, including prayer jars and prayer trees, while reminding parents that prayer is not only about the words spoken between “Dear God” and “Amen,” but about who we become afterward. He reflects on learning to release control, live more fully present, and allow prayer to shape him into a more patient and playful father. Together, Tyler and David encourage parents to trust that God loves their children even more than they do and to find hope by noticing His presence and goodness in the middle of a complicated world.

He breaks down how simplifying your offer creates clarity, increases confidence, and ultimately drives more revenue.The conversation also explores the power of podcast guesting as a business development strategy, how authority is built through meaningful conversations, and why the best sales process often feels less like selling and more like helping.Why most offers are more complicated than they need to beHow clarity creates confidence in sales conversationsThe relationship between pricing and perceived valueLessons learned from rebuilding a business after difficult seasonsHow podcast guesting can generate clients and opportunitiesCommon mistakes entrepreneurs make when positioning themselvesBuilding a business that is profitable without creating burnoutThe importance of focusing on outcomes rather than deliverables✅ Simplicity sells better than complexity.✅ Buyers are looking for clear outcomes, not a long list of services.✅ Raising prices is often a positioning challenge, not a sales challenge.✅ Podcast appearances can become a powerful lead-generation channel when aligned with the right audience.✅ A sustainable business is one that creates freedom, not just more work.

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church, is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they emphasise the urgent need for Christian men to embrace spiritual strength and courage in the face of cultural decline. Drawing from the book of Joshua, it calls fathers to lead their households with decisive faith and to actively engage in a worldview battle against secular humanism. The discussion highlights the breakdown of family and society due to a loss of biblical manhood, urging men to reject comfort and instead fight for the kingdom of God. It encourages the raising of the next generation through intentional discipleship and father-son mentorship. Ultimately, the podcast asserts that true strength comes from relying on God's presence to stand firm in truth and love.

Dave came to Adam's house to record and brought a host, a co-host, a topic, and a bottle of whiskey. No laptop. No microphones. No headphones. No headphone amp. Second time he has pulled that off. In his defense, he already hauled a computer over there for a permanent setup so he would not have to schlep gear across town every week, and in Adam's defense, that computer is still sitting there unplugged. So they went home, came back the next night, and recorded anyway. Second night in a row. For such a time as this.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, every person they asked gave them the same name. Having used Select now, they can vouch for it. Wherever in the world you want to go, whether you are leading a pilgrimage or joining one, go to selectinternationaltours.com and look at what they have ready for you.First, the Wiffle Ball tournament. There is a tradition in the Catholic Tulsa community on Labor Day, admittedly a niche corner of it, where the Hanisch family turns their entire backyard into a real Wiffle Ball field. Scoreboard. Foul poles. Pitching mound. Dirt. Bases. Bleachers. Concession stand. Instant replay. A bubble machine that fires when somebody goes deep. Eight teams, double elimination. Adam and Dave play with Adam's brother-in-law Holden, Mark Gabriel, and Brandon Bargus under the name Wiffle While You Work. Roughly ten years of this, and they had never won it. This year they made the championship game and lost by a run, 6 to 5. Ten years ago the wives played and it was a hang. Now teams recruit former ballplayers, one of whom had a family thing come up, which Adam called lucky out loud. Shout out to Chris and Carrie Hanisch, who carry the whole ordeal, and to Mark Gabriel, who sponsored it this year. This is what it looks like when a family says we have something to offer and then offers it, every year, on purpose.Which got Dave onto something he has been chewing on since they were all at Brandon Sheard's place for a rock put. Heaviest rock, longest throw, get the men in a line. Everybody looked at the guy who was obviously going to win, and he won, and it did not matter. The women and kids watched the men compete, and Dave watched what it did to the community. So here is the idea: whenever your friends gather, have a men's competition. Every time. Croquet, a heavy rock, flipping a quarter closest to a line, it does not matter what it is. What matters is that it is only for men, because the boys need to see it. A boy needs to look at that line and understand that he is a boy and those are men, and then he needs to be summoned across. Not by his own father. By another man in the community who calls him up and gives him the right to stand and compete. That is a rite of passage, and American culture has almost none left. It is also cheap, easy, and a lot more fun than standing around. There were zero women in the Wiffle Ball tournament this year, and there were young boys playing next to the men, faster than the men, and considerably less sore the next day.The campout is in a couple of weeks, last weekend of September like always, and it is more than full. Brandon Sheard will be there. Tomas from Ultimo Cigar will be there. Get away, pray with the monks, see all the men. If you missed it, put next year on the calendar now.The pour is Octomore 16.2 from Bruichladdich, a super peated Islay scotch aged five years in wine and sherry casks at 58.1 percent. A 2025 limited release. If you like peat, start with Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg, then understand that Octomore was the first distillery to put out something genuinely insane on the peat scale. Others have since gone higher in parts per million, and most of those were gimmicks that came and went. Dave's honest rule on expensive bottles is that a $200 bottle is almost never $100 better than a $100 bottle. Octomore was the first time he thought it actually was. A whiskey after his own heart.Then the topic: the universal destination of goods, Catechism 2402, which sits under the Seventh Commandment. Thou shalt not steal. That placement tells you something. God entrusted the earth and its resources to the common stewardship of mankind, to care for it, master it by labor, and enjoy its fruits, and the goods of creation are destined for the whole human race. Not for you specifically. All of it, the oceans on planets nobody has found yet down to the bacteria underfoot, aimed at the good of mankind.Adam gave the line the whole episode hangs on. The five acres you own are truly yours. But not merely yours.So why private property at all? Aquinas gives three reasons, and they hold up. Industriousness, because a man tends his own garden harder than he tends the community garden, not from selfishness but because shared duty spreads thin and nobody owns the outcome. Order, because affairs run more smoothly when each man is responsible for a specific thing. And peace, because quarrels multiply when property is held in common without distinction. Buy a boat with four families and find out. Somebody leaves trash in it, somebody scrapes the hull, somebody drives it hard and it breaks down, and now you are all negotiating who pays. Adam gave the other side its due: shared ownership lowers the cost of entry, and if every man is limited to a suburban backyard there is simply no beef, because a cow needs more land than that. Four families together can afford ground that feeds all four. There is a place for each. Every community has to find the order.The two ditches are individualism and collectivism, and this is the road between them. Private property is not a concession to greed. It flows out of what a family is. Sacred means set apart, and a family is set apart from the community by its nature, so it makes sense that a piece of creation gets set apart to match. A man needs somewhere he can say what is inside here is exclusive to my family, because the family itself is exclusive by nature. Raising your children on your own ground is not a detour from the good of mankind. It is how you serve it. Dave put it plainly: he is raising four daughters and three boys, and he needs the Minihan family raising strong holy young men, and Adam needs the same from him. Families are not sufficient to themselves. That is the debt.All of which is stewardship. This is God's house and you are managing it, and the King is coming back to see how it was kept, and eventually He wants all of it back. Your children most of all. Their souls were handed to you to tend so that they flourish into who they were made to be, and the fruit of that gets shared with everybody.St. John Chrysostom says surplus has to be counted as stolen goods when the wealthy ignore the destitute in front of them. Dave admitted the part that is actually hard. When he has extra eggs, he knows it instantly and gives them away gladly, no friction. Natural goods are easy to read. Man made goods are not. He cannot tell when he has a surplus of the things he bought, and he is worse at parting with them, even though they are of a lower order than food. He has too many T-shirts. He knows he has too many T-shirts. He pulls one out that has not been worn in fifteen years and hears himself say but what if. He is also fair about the old quotes on the unworn shoes in your closet belonging to the barefoot, which come from a world where a man owned one pair of shoes, not work boots and dress shoes and tennis shoes. Owning a few pairs is not theft. But if you can afford the next pair and cannot afford to give in proportion to your station, that is worth an honest look, because self love is pernicious and easy to feed.Adam brought it back to the ground. Haylee was in Oklahoma City, he finally got the kids down, he was not feeling well, and he was in bed when he remembered the chickens were not up and the pigs had no water. He laid there a long time talking himself out of it. What he learned about himself is how easily he can do that, and how good the excuses sound. Six months ago these were the responsibilities he was praying for. Everybody does this. You want the promotion, you get the promotion, and then you resent the people and problems that came with it, when the problems were the thing you asked for. That is where virtue lives: doing the thing when nobody is watching and your appetites are voting against it. Protect what you were given. Provide for it. Establish your children so they can stand without you, because you do not want to be a helicopter dad when they are 28. And the man who buries his talent in the yard was not evil. He was just tired.Francis de Sales, in Introduction to the Devout Life, lands it. A man may possess wealth. He must not let wealth possess his heart. Detachment is what keeps money a servant to the family first and then to the poor, in that order, because subsidiarity is real and you do not take food off your children's plates to be generous elsewhere. God does call men to wealth. The virtue of magnificence needs them. St. Peter's does not get built without them, and neither does your parish church. The question to keep asking is whether a thing gives you comfort or gives you happiness, because those are not the same and one of them will quietly own you.Truly yours. Not merely yours. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDShowing up to record a podcast with a topic, a bottle of whiskey, and none of the recording equipmentThe permanently installed computer that nobody has plugged inThe Labor Day Wiffle Ball tournament in the Catholic Tulsa community, and the Hanisch backyard field with foul poles, instant replay, and a bubble machineTen years of Wiffle While You Work, a...

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!How can parents support transracial adoption identity and belonging as children grow and begin defining who they are for themselves? In this panel conversation, three young adults with lived experience in adoption and foster care share how family, race, culture, community, trauma, and relationships shaped their developing identities and sense of belonging. They discuss the difference between having a placement and truly feeling wanted, what it means to be fully known by the people who love you, how parents can respond to bias and difficult conversations, and why families adopting across racial or cultural lines must be willing to listen, learn, and be changed by the child they welcome into their family.Resources:Kirti Pickard and Mission 143: https://mission143.net/ Tyron “Qpidluv” Smith: https://forever-safe-home.vercel.app/Mayia Warren: https://mayiawarren.org/  Raising a Transracial or Multicultural ChildParenting Adopted Teens and Young AdultsSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.  This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

We dabble in his latest updates for the Schiit Audio brand, weather another CD player is in the mix, and if robots will every take over the Texas warehouse.

In time the drummer taught and performed out of the State and country, but when he visited the City, the two would play their improvisations live at The New School's venue for avant garde performances, “The Stone”Recently, they booked time at East Side Sound and recorded the entire album live. They later refined the mixes and edited the pieces to highlight the most exciting moments.  About Gary LucasA world‑class guitarist, Grammy‑nominated songwriter, and international touring artist, Lucas has released over 50 albums across genres—jazz, rock, classical, folk, blues, avant‑garde, and world music.

Dr. Shefali, bestselling author + expert in conscious parenting, joins us for an honest conversation about raising emotionally resilient children in a world that is increasingly disconnected. She shares why parents must stop trying to perfect themselves—and start showing up fully as they are. We talk about the hidden ways anxiety, achievement, social media, and performance-based parenting shape our kids, and why true connection starts with our own nervous system. Dr. Shefali explains how to raise children who trust themselves instead of chasing validation, success, or approval from the outside world. She also gets real about the different ways boys + girls are being impacted by modern culture, from shame + disconnection to self-abandonment + the pressure to perform. This episode will challenge how you think about parenting + personal growth. We also talk about:  Why parents can't “out-perfect” their unconscious How children borrow regulation + a sense of safety from us The difference between connection + simply being happy together Why performance-based parenting is no longer working Social media, comparison, beauty standards + the “perception prison” Raising boys with less shame around emotions, sexuality + masculinity Why girls are learning to be perceived before they learn to be Parentification, self-abandonment + emotional caretaking How to help children develop inner authority + self-trust Dr. Shefali's new books, Raising Conscious Sons + Raising Conscious Daughters Resources: Books: https://www.drshefali.com/raisingconscious-daughters-sons/   Sponsors:  The Real Real | Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to therealreal.com/ALMOST30.

Sissy Goff and David Thomas share four things grieving children need most: conversation, community, consistency, and coping. They explain how honest, age-appropriate conversations can help children feel grounded, why safe adults and peers are essential, and how familiar routines and boundaries create security during seasons of change. They also offer practical coping strategies for navigating big emotions and remind parents that children do not need perfect answers. They need adults who will stay present, make room for their grief, and remind them that they are safe, seen, and loved.

What happens when becoming stronger, faster, healthier, and more optimized is no longer enough?In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I reconnect with my longtime friend Ben Greenfield for a conversation that moves beyond biohacking and peak performance into the deeper question of what all that optimization is actually for.Ben spent years pushing the limits of health, fitness, endurance, and longevity, but nearly losing his marriage and family forced him to confront how much of his identity had become attached to achievement. He shares how that experience changed his priorities and shifted his focus toward faith, family, relationships, presence, and the legacy he wants to leave behind.We explore the tension between effort and surrender and why the drive to constantly improve can sometimes become another form of control. We also talk about deliberately creating space for silence, stepping away from constant distraction, and learning to pursue health without allowing it to become the center of your identity.Ben also shares the story behind his new documentary, Boundless: The Man Who Became Human After Being Superhuman, and how it captures his evolution from pursuing extraordinary physical performance toward discovering a more meaningful definition of being boundless.In this episode:• When self-improvement becomes part of your identity • The hidden cost of pursuing perfection • Ben's wake-up call after nearly losing his family • Shifting from self-preservation toward legacy • Why health should serve a larger purpose • Balancing effort with surrender • Creating intentional space for silence and stillness • How constant optimization can become a form of control • Faith, family, and redefining what matters • The story behind Ben's Boundless documentary • Raising children with values, wisdom, and purpose • Moving from achievement toward presenceBoundless is slated for release on Apple TV on September 22.

What should you do after an osteoporosis diagnosis? There is so much information online about bone health, and it can be overwhelming to figure out what is safe and what is necessary. In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime colleague and patient advocate Sally Fullman to answer some of the most common osteoporosis questions we hear from our community.  We talk about where to start after an osteoporosis diagnosis, looking for root causes, and building the right care team. We also dive into calcium from food versus supplements, the types of calcium I prefer, what to know about strontium, and how to approach exercise safely and effectively for stronger bones. We also cover weighted vests, posture, spinal movement, finding osteoporosis-trained physical therapists and exercise programs, and things to consider for people at higher fracture risk.  I hope this conversation helps you feel less overwhelmed and more confident about the steps you can take to protect and improve your bone health.   "We don't often take the time to think about what's inside our bodies, our bones, because we don't see them. And yet they do help us achieve our dreams." ~ Sally Fullman, PhD   In this episode: [00:00] - Introduction: how Sally became a patient advocate [05:07] - Recommended first steps after an osteoporosis diagnosis [08:38] - Calcium tracking via nutrition, high-oxalate food traps, and types of calcium supplements [19:22] - The limited efficacy of weighted vests [23:28] - Finding safe exercise programs and utilizing specialized physical therapists [35:02] - Vetting social media fitness claims and finding reputable information  [39:12] - When osteoporosis medications may be appropriate [42:58] - Overcoming the fear of falling: tips on home safety improvements [47:42] - Raising early preventive awareness for children and teens   Resources - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - https://tinyurl.com/mybonehealthexercises - Discounted Supplements at Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/supplementsforless  - Hip Protectors - https://tinyurl.com/hipprotectors (Use coupon code HAPPYBONES for a 10% discount) - Cronometer app - https://cronometer.com/ - Calcium content of food Sally mentioned from the International Osteoporosis Foundation - https://www.buildbetterbones.org/nutrition-and-diet - BoneFitTM - https://www.bonehealthandosteoporosis.org/bonefit-usa/ - Learn About the Benefits of Exercises - https://www.buildbetterbones.org/exercises - Find a Physical Therapist - https://www.choosept.com/ - The ONERO® Program - https://onero.academy/osteoporosis-exercises/   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Your teenage son may be taller than you, stronger than you, pushing for more independence—and acting like he needs you less.But that doesn't necessarily mean he needs less connection.In this episode of The Single Parenting Reset Show, I'm joined by relational and men's coach Mike Elliott for an honest conversation about what teenage boys may be communicating underneath the shutdown, defensiveness, anger, and “Leave me alone.”Because sometimes what looks like disrespect or withdrawal is actually a young person who doesn't yet know what to do with everything happening inside of him.Mike and I talk about what it means for a teen boy to be under-resourced emotionally and relationally—and why connection, emotional safety, support, and healthy mentorship matter so much as boys move toward adulthood.We also talk specifically about the experience of single moms raising sons.How do you remain the safe place without trying to fix everything?How do you recognize the tenderness that may still be there underneath your son's growing strength and independence?And how do you help him find healthy men to learn from when Dad may not be available—or may not be able to provide the mentorship your son needs?Inside this conversation, you'll learn:Why your teenage son's difficult behavior may be protecting something more vulnerableWhy fixing, lecturing, or problem-solving too quickly can make a teen stop opening upHow emotional safety changes the way your son experiences youWhy boys can still need reassurance and connection even while pushing for independenceHow to separate your own history and triggers from what is happening with your sonWhat healthy male mentorship can offer a growing boyHow to look beyond Dad and intentionally build a wider circle of healthy menMike's simple VAR framework: Vulnerability, Acknowledgment, ReassuranceWhat to say when your teen is overwhelmed and snapping at youWhy seeing your son for who he actually is may matter more than trying to mold him into who you think he should becomeOne of my favorite ideas from this conversation is simple:When your teen brings you vulnerability, you don't always have to fix it. Sometimes your job is simply to hold it.That is connection before correction in action.Listen to the full episode and consider this question:Where might my son need more connection, support, or mentorship right now—not more correction?Mike Elliott is an executive relational coach and men's coach based in British Columbia, Canada.His interest in relationships and emotional development grew partly from his own history. Mike was adopted twice during his first year of life and describes struggling with relationships, identity, substance use, anger, and disconnection during adolescence and early adulthood.After his own marriage ended, he devoted himself more deeply to understanding relationships, attachment, emotional development, and men's work. Today, he works with men around relationships, personal responsibility, emotional growth, mentorship, and becoming more grounded leaders in their families and lives.And if conflict with your tween or teen keeps turning into arguments, shutdowns, or power struggles, download my Tween & Teen Conflict Reset Kit for practical scripts to help you respond differently in those difficult moments.And be sure to follow or subscribe to The Single Parenting Reset Show so you don't miss the next Quick Reset.⭐️ If your family is stuck in repeating school-morning conflict, book a Parent Reset Strategy Session.⭐️Join the Family and get your weekly Mindful Kids and Family Journal here: https://www.mindfulkidsandfamilies.com/join-the-family (Get ready for lessons, podcast leads, offers for parents, and ways to win free parent coaching or masterclasses)

In this enlightening episode, Tara sits down with Dr. Shefali to dive into her two new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters. Dr. Shefali shares what called her to shift her focus toward adolescence and address the intense, unique pressures reshaping modern childhood. Together, they explore the profound differences in what kids are up against today, from rescuing boys from the isolation and dopamine fixation of the digital age to helping girls break free from the anxiety-inducing "perception prison" of social media. Dr. Shefali explains how the "algorithmic abduction of childhood" is feeding children vastly different, yet equally damaging, narratives, and why honoring their natural biological wiring while fostering real-life connection is more critical than ever. Beyond just sounding the alarm, Dr. Shefali provides a practical blueprint for parents at every developmental stage. The conversation highlights how conscious parenting must adapt as children grow, why parents need to stop over-comforting them, and how "engineering healthy friction" actually builds resilience and self-reliance. By learning to loosen the reins, embrace the messiness, and allow kids to solve their own small problems, parents can step out of their own anxiety and raise grounded, capable adults. Tune in to the full episode for a grounding conversation on letting go of parenting perfectionism, and discover how a little healthy friction can help both you and your children thrive.

Send us Fan MailA single lyric can light the whole internet on fire, and we start right there, talking Jhené Aiko, cheating rumors, and why fans treat music like a scavenger hunt for “who it's about.” We break down the difference between art and autobiography, how social media turns ambiguity into marketing, and why speculation is basically a built-in engine for streams and headlines.Then we pivot into pure Mixed Vibes chaos: NFL talk, team shade, and the way sports can be funny one minute and deeply personal the next. From there we go all-in on fast food breakfast rankings, regional chain confusion, and the kind of debates that only get louder when biscuits are too greasy and chicken tenders don't meet somebody's seasoning standards. If you've ever defended a menu item like it was part of your identity, you're going to feel seen.The mood turns serious when we react to a disturbing daycare story where a teacher allegedly set up a child to fight, raising real questions about safety, trust, and consequences. We also get into the Chingy and Isaiah Russell-Bailey headlines, including the public back-and-forth over absence, child support, and what “I'm proud of my kid” means when the relationship is complicated. We wrap with talk on Usher and Chris Brown receiving recognition in Texas, plus a bigger conversation about optics, value, and what's actually worth our outrage.FOLLOW. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE.

“While the men prepared to replace the first flag, I was able to position myself for a picture, the elements of which were composed by the men themselves, and the wind, weather, midday lighting, and the luck of timing.” - Joe Rosenthal, Associated Press At the end of the war in Western Europe, with the war in the Pacific still going strong, America was a tired country that needed a patriotic jolt. You can only position yourself so well: good photographer, heroic moment of reprieve amidst the horrific fighting, camera crew tailing the soldiers, hoping to capture even the slightest sense of what the sons and brothers of the nation were fighting for. But all the preparedness in the world can't bank on the beauty of luck. This is the story of the luckiest snapshot ever taken.

Society doesn't just tell girls who they're supposed to be. It tells boys who they're supposed to be too. Different rules, different consequences—but they're still boxes asking our kids to perform who they're supposed to be instead of discovering who they actually are. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil welcomes back Dr. Shefali, world-renowned clinical psychologist, multiple New York Times bestselling author, founder of the Conscious Parenting Movement, and author of two new books, Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons. And while there's plenty to say about raising confident girls, this conversation spends significant time on what boys need from parents in a culture sending them increasingly confusing messages about masculinity. They explore: What parents are getting wrong about raising boys today What “integrated masculinity” looks like and why boys need healthier models of manhood How parents can help boys navigate social media, pornography, the manosphere, and toxic masculinity Why mentorship and positive male role models matter What boys may be seeking through video games, online communities, and bro culture How movement, purpose, contribution, and connection can support boys' emotional health How to help boys experience and express anger without shaming their emotions or allowing harmful behavior How girls are still being taught to seek approval—even when it's packaged as empowerment Why parents need to examine their own emotional baggage and achievement expectations Because raising kids who know who they are—and get to decide who they become—that's the work of a parent.

Today I'm coming to you live from the Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival with a few of the people who make events like this worth showing up for. We talk about building a life on your own terms, knowing when to reset, raising capable kids, testing your gear before you need it, and why the conversations around the campfire may matter more than anything happening on stage. Featured Event Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival Sponsors Midwest Preparedness Project Red Flyer Media Today's Guests & Topics Dawn Gorham of The Gorham Homestead Going from working in the court system to running her own dairy How Self-Reliance Festival and community helped her make the leap Why sometimes the first thing you try is the wrong thing — and that is still progress Goats, milk cows, and learning what livestock can teach you the hard way Building confidence by doing the thing Realizing the skills from your old life may transfer directly into the new one Knowing when you have reached maximum capacity Creating margin instead of trying to keep every plate spinning Getting back to your purpose when it is time for a reset Building stronger local food networks The Gorum Homestead: https://thegorhamhomestead.com Britt Baker of Mission Brit Growing up homeschooled and around preparedness before calling it preparedness Mission work, including time in Africa, and how that changed her perspective Why your mission may be much closer to home than you think Helping people identify what is holding them back from their mission or purpose What makes preparedness events different Why the people around you are often the most valuable part of an event Getting out of your comfort zone and actually talking to people Testing your gear before you need it Camping as a practical way to build confidence Finding out the hard way that preparedness gear does eventually wear out Sydney and Craig How having kids changed the way they looked at the world Parenting as an investment of time and attention Moving away from the expectations they grew up with Raising kids with fewer screens Why removing something from your family culture means replacing it with something better Being present instead of simply adding more activities Helping kids develop creativity and independence in a rapidly changing technological world Consumption versus creation Why preparedness festivals create opportunities to participate instead of simply consume Prioritizing what you actually plan to implement instead of trying to do everything The friendships that happen when you talk to the person sitting next to you Creating enough margin for deeper conversations Their vision for Homeschool on Homestead, a small homeschool-style learning environment for families who cannot homeschool themselves Some Takeaways Talk to people. You have no idea who is sitting next to you. Don't dismiss somebody's crazy idea before asking a few questions. Sometimes the thing that fails is what gets you to the thing that works. Learn how your livestock can hurt you before they demonstrate it. When everything feels like too much, go back to your purpose. Your local community matters. Use your preparedness gear now, not for the first time during an emergency. Kids need space to create, think, participate, and learn. When you remove something from your life, replace it with something that moves you toward what you actually want. Don't go too hard too fast. Prioritize. Some of the best things that happen at events like this are nowhere on the schedule. Get your coffee at Holler Roast Coffee: https://hollerroast.com Make it a Great Week!

In order to raise a good man, you have to have the qualities of a good mother.Just because you gave birth to a child or you adopted a child doesn't mean you foster the qualities to allow that boy to become a good man. There are qualities that a boy needs from other men and other people in his life. Do you have the village to facilitate that?

Episode Description:Jon Morrow's story begins with a diagnosis that was supposed to be a death sentence.Born with spinal muscular atrophy, Jon was diagnosed at six months old. Doctors told his mother he would likely die by age two. Instead, she fought for him. She fought to keep him alive. She fought to get him into public school. She fought through pneumonia, broken ribs, hospital visits, and a world that did not expect much from him.That expectation became one of the central forces in Jon's life.In this From the Archive conversation, James talks with Jon about what it means to live in a world where people expect you to survive, but not necessarily to achieve. Jon explains how his mother gave him a radically different definition of disability: everyone has something they cannot do as well as someone else, but everyone also has something they can do better than most.For Jon, that thing was his mind.He learned to write, program, think, sell, and communicate. He used assistive technology, including a sip-and-puff wheelchair and a lip-operated mouse, to work on a computer. He graduated from college, received job offers, and then ran into a brutal financial trap: if he earned too much money, he risked losing the Medicaid benefits that paid for his care.So Jon changed the rules.He wrote for free. He built relationships. He worked for Copyblogger without immediate pay, knowing that one day he would ask for help. He wrote viral posts. He moved to Mexico to reduce his healthcare costs. He asked for the favors he had earned. And within months, he built a consulting business that turned into Smart Blogger.James and Jon also talk about his father's real estate business, raising $50 million for land deals, the crash that wiped everything out, and the pressure Jon felt when both of his parents needed support. The conversation then moves into blogging, guest posting, courses, coaching, and the economics of turning expertise into an online business.But the deeper subject is not blogging. It is agency.Jon argues that any limitation can be overcome, though not always easily and not always without cost. His framework begins with belief: surround yourself with stories of people doing extraordinary things until extraordinary starts to feel normal. Then find the price of what you want. Understand the sacrifice before you begin. And finally, create enough urgency that you cannot drift forever.For Jon, the “gun to his head” was the fear of ending up in a nursing home. That fear gave him the energy to work 16, 18, even 20 hours a day after moving to Mexico.The episode is about disability, but it is not only about disability. It is about building a life when the default path will not work. It is about finding the counterpunch. It is about choosing contribution over helplessness. And it is about becoming unstoppable by refusing to let the world's expectations become your own.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to Jon's business, Unstoppable, Smart Blogger, Medicaid, healthcare costs, assistive technology, brain-machine interfaces, and online publishing reflect the original recording period.This episode discusses disability, depression, severe illness, traumatic injury, healthcare access, financial stress, fear-based motivation, and nursing-home fears. It should be framed as Jon's personal story and philosophy, not as medical, legal, mental-health, or financial advice.What You'll Learn:What spinal muscular atrophy is and how it affected Jon's life from infancy.Why Jon's mother refused to accept the expectations doctors and schools placed on him.How Jon learned to define disability as something everyone experiences in different ways.Why expectations can become one of the hardest parts of living with a disability.How assistive technology helped Jon work, write, and build a business.Why online communities can matter when patients live longer than doctors expected.How Jon used his wheelchair as an unexpected advantage in sales and fundraising.What Jon learned while raising money for his father's real estate projects.How the 2010 real estate crash forced Jon to reinvent his career.Why Medicaid's income limits trapped Jon financially.How writing for free helped Jon build skill, reputation, leverage, and relationships.Why Jon moved to Mexico and how that changed the economics of his care.How a Copyblogger favor turned into his first wave of consulting clients.How Jon built Smart Blogger through consulting, courses, coaching, and audience growth.Why Jon eventually reorganized the business so he could return to writing.What Jon means by “reconstructing reality.”Why he recommends filling your mind with stories of people who have done impossible things.How to think about the price of any major goal.Why sacrifice is unavoidable, but negotiable.How negative reinforcement can create urgency.Why fear, when handled deliberately, can become fuel.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] The Tribe You Don't Want to Belong ToJon talks about a private Facebook group for adults with his disease and what it feels like to be one of
