Potty training was going so well… until it suddenly wasn't. Let’s discuss why potty training regression is completely normal, what it actually means, and how to get back on track without feeling like you’ve failed your puppy. You have a stretch of good days, you start to feel confident, and then all of a sudden, the accidents are back. It feels like you’re back at square one, you start asking what you did wrong, and you might even wonder what’s wrong with your puppy. Here is the truth.Regression is normal. It doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean your puppy forgot everything. It means you are in the middle of the process. If this episode really resonates, I also recommend Episode 79: “Are You Still Struggling With Potty Training?” where I walk through the three key points I always cover with clients who are stuck. In this episode, I talk about: What potty training actually looks like (progress in NOT a straight line) The most common reason for potty training regression. Why regression seems to happen right at the end. How a small change in routine can have a big impact on your progress. The difference between a random accident and true regression.

If you find yourself thinking, “Nothing changed this year,” I hear you. And I've been there. So many of us moms reach the end of the year still feeling anxious, triggered, or unsure, and assume that means we haven't grown. In this episode, I talk about why that thought feels so true—and why it often misses what really matters. As our kids grow, the challenges don't go away; they change. Raising and launching teens requires more trust, more restraint, and a deeper tolerance for uncertainty. And yet, we rarely recognize our ability to meet those changes as growth. In this episode, I explore what it really means to let go—not perfectly, but year after year, in ways that shape us even when we don't feel different. If you're navigating the emotional complexity of parenting big kids or stepping into the empty nest, this episode will help you see the quiet ways you've been evolving all along.

Vanesa se embarazó estando privada de la libertad, dio a luz por cesárea en condiciones precarias y hoy cría a su hija dentro del penal mientras lidia con el estigma social, las carencias del sistema y la separación de su otra hija de 15 años que está afuera.Conversamos sobre las duras realidades que enfrentan las madres en prisión: desde el parto sin anestesia hasta la falta de recursos básicos como pañales, las visitas conyugales que permiten embarazos pero no garantizan condiciones dignas para criar, y el debate sobre si los niños deben crecer en prisión o separarse de sus madres. También abordamos la paternidad en prisión, donde los hombres no tienen las mismas responsabilidades ni limitaciones.Este episodio expone las contradicciones de un sistema que permite que niños nazcan y crezcan entre rejas, pero no garantiza sus derechos ni los de sus madres. Vanesa nos recuerda que detrás de cada mujer privada de la libertad hay una historia compleja, y que los niños que nacen en prisión merecen dignidad sin importar dónde estén sus madres.-------------------------In this episode, we talk about something Mexico needs to put on the table: motherhood in prison. Vanesa got pregnant while locked up, gave birth by C-section in terrible conditions, and now she's raising her daughter inside the prison while dealing with the social stigma, a broken system, and being separated from her other daughter—who's 15 and on the outside.We get into the harsh realities mothers face in prison: everything from giving birth with no pain meds to not having basic stuff like diapers, conjugal visits that allow pregnancies but don't guarantee decent conditions to raise a kid, and the whole debate about whether children should grow up in prison or be separated from their moms. We also touch on fatherhood in prison, where men don't have the same responsibilities or restrictions.This episode shows the contradictions of a system that lets kids be born and grow up behind bars but doesn't guarantee their rights—or their mothers'. Vanesa reminds us that behind every woman in prison, there's a complicated story, and that kids born in prison deserve dignity no matter where their moms are.---------------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

If you've been feeling quietly uncomfortable—less patient with certain patterns, more aware of what drains you, and more sensitive to what feels misaligned—this episode is for you. Raising your standards isn't about judgment or superiority. It's often the Holy Spirit gently preparing you for expansion. In this episode of the God's Vibes Podcast, we talk about how growth in Christ naturally changes what you tolerate, agree with, and make room for. As God increases your capacity, He also refines your discernment. Things that once felt normal begin to feel heavy—not because they're evil, but because they no longer fit where you're going. This is a conversation about: recognizing when God is raising your internal standards releasing survival patterns without shame learning to honor peace, clarity, and obedience trusting the quiet shifts that come before promotion If you've been sensing a change you can't fully explain—but you know you can't go back—this episode will help you name it, trust it, and move forward with grace.   If this message resonated with you, I want to invite you deeper. ✨ Become a God's Vibes Insider That's where I share behind-the-scenes teaching, prophetic insight, and first access to what God is building in this season.

Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch on Chinuch Mitzvah #83 - Chinuch Part 2 -   Raising Them Right: A Spiritual Guide to Parenting Every Age  

Introduction: The Journey BeginsRaising a child with special needs is a journey filled with unique challenges—and profound rewards. In this conversation, we explore the realities of parenting an adult child on the autism spectrum, from early diagnosis to adulthood, sharing struggles, triumphs, and lessons learned.Our daughter was diagnosed at age three. Parenting didn't follow the typical script. As a single mom, balancing life with a child in a neurodivergent world required patience, strength, and adaptability.Educating ourselves on autism helped us move from confusion to advocacy. By honoring our daughter's unique abilities, we fostered an environment where she could thrive.Now a graduate of a renowned culinary institute, our daughter inspires us daily. But parenting an adult child with autism brings new challenges—society often expects conformity rather than celebrating diversity.Our journey involves helping her find confidence in her identity while navigating life's milestones in her own way. It's about letting go while supporting her individuality.Having friends and family who truly understand makes a world of difference. Even small acts of support can have a big impact.Faith has been our anchor. We've learned to steward our daughter's life rather than control it, trusting God's timing and plan. This trust has brought freedom and peace in the midst of challenges.To parents on a similar path: stay resilient, love steadfastly, and celebrate every small victory. Progress isn't always linear, but God guides every step.We hope our story inspires other families to approach their journey with hope, faith, and love.We'd love for you to be part of our Book Club on Sarta Lyons' Church Girl starting January 8th. It's a free space to get honest, aligned, and moving.Here's what you'll get:Spot blind spots driving your patternsBreak cycles keeping you stuckBuild real strength spiritually, mentally, and physicallyAlign faith, habits, and callingLead with clarity and courageNo perfection. No pretending. Just presence, purpose, and progress—together.

As electricity demand from data centers continues to surge, a persistent question has dogged the industry: Are residential ratepayers footing the bill for massive tech infrastructure? According to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and an independent study it commissioned, the answer is a definitive no. As a guest on The POWER Podcast, Mandy Ulrich, senior manager of energy and water for Americas East at AWS, outlined the company's energy strategy and discussed findings from a study by Energy and Environmental Economics Inc. (E3) that examined how Amazon data centers impact local power systems. Study Finds Data Centers Generate Surplus Revenue The E3 study evaluated Amazon data centers across a diverse set of utility territories, including large investor-owned utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Dominion Energy, mid-size utilities like Entergy, and cooperatives such as Umatilla Electric Cooperative in the Pacific Northwest. “The simple answer is that Amazon data centers are not being subsidized by other utility customers,” Ulrich said. The study projects that Amazon's data centers will generate $33,500/MW of surplus value in 2025, increasing to $60,650/MW by 2030. For a typical 100-MW Amazon data center, that translates to $3.4 million in surplus revenues in 2025 and approximately $6.1 million by 2030. These surplus funds—revenues above the utility's regulated rate of return—can be used by utilities to modernize grid infrastructure, improving reliability for all customers. Grid Investment Benefits All Customers The study found that Amazon data centers are driving investments in grid infrastructure that support not just their own operations but also local residential and commercial growth. Ulrich pointed to Entergy Mississippi as a prime example, where the utility is using investments from Amazon and other large customers to fund a $300 million “Superpower Mississippi” grid reliability campaign—at no cost to residential customers—targeting a 50% reduction in outages within five years. Innovative Rate Structures Prevent Cost-Shifting While the E3 study validates that existing rate policies have been effective in preventing cross-subsidization, Ulrich emphasized that AWS continues to work with utilities on innovative approaches to ensure large industrial customers pay their fair share. She highlighted a Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO) project as a “groundbreaking model.” Under this first-of-its-kind agreement, Amazon is investing in 3 GW of electrical capacity, with 2.4 GW dedicated to data center operations and 600 MW reserved specifically to support grid reliability for all NIPSCO customers. The structure creates a separate generation company (GenCo) that operates under a “commercial contract term,” Ulrich explained. By operating as a separate entity, GenCo isolates the cost of new growth to data centers. “The data center companies that drive new demand for electricity will fund the generation and transmission infrastructure they require, ensuring that regular customers don't shoulder those costs, even if the customer leaves before contract completion,” NIPSCO said in a Nov. 24 press release. “NIPSCO's existing customers will have no financial responsibility for powering Amazon data centers,” Ulrich said. NIPSCO said, “This structure is expected to provide value to customers by generating approximately $1 billion in cost savings that will be returned to current NIPSCO customers as credits on monthly electric bills over the project's 15-year duration.”

This podcast dives into the uncomfortable truth behind soft parenting, modern comfort culture, and the growing epidemic of emotional fragility in today's kids. We explore how overprotecting children is not only hurting their resilience—it's fueling entitlement, anxiety, and a lack of real-world grit.This episode breaks down how these trends ripple into adulthood, including the link between low frustration tolerance and increased risk for substance use and addiction. Through raw conversations, real stories, and expert insight, we challenge the norms and ask the question no one wants to ask:Are we loving our kids… or weakening them?If you're ready for honest discussions about accountability, resilience, and what kids truly need to thrive—this is your podcast.

Sermon from Phil Friesen on December 28, 2025

Bekkersdal mass shooting leaves nine dead, raising alarm over safety in Gauteng by Radio Islam

The original and primary activity of the Guardian Angels is "safety patrol", in which members walk the streets or ride public transit. Guardian Angels must be in uniform to represent the organization.As if there wasn't enough violence on the streets of American cities, Curtis Sliwa has been busy inventing some. Sliwa, founder of the New York-based Guardian Angels, recently acknowledged that he faked a half dozen of the crime-stopping interventions for which his security group has gained national attention. Current and former associates of Sliwa say there are even more.Why would a group that claims to work in the public interest stoop to such behavior? Sliwa said he did it to gain publicity and support when the idea for a security force was a new idea, and later when something was needed to keep the Angels' public profile high. With no authority and no credibility beyond what they could win through their own good deeds, the fledgling citizen patrollers started small when they staged their first trick, the return of a stolen wallet. Sliwa has been quoted as saying that a parish priest dreamed this up in 1978. While the priest, who is now retired, told the New York Times that it wasn't his idea, he acknowledged playing along because the young do-gooders needed positive attention.A staged crime is never harmless, however, no matter how noble the motive. In a society beset by violence and the fear of harm, trust is the ultimate victim. It is hard enough for people who live in high-crime areas to conduct normal activities, faced with the constant awareness that they might be mugged _ or worse. Raising that anxiety level by creating artificial victims can only harm the fragile trust that allows community life to continue despite drive-by shootings and other random violence.The Guardian Angels allegedly staged more serious stunts as well, including one in which a group member was soaked with gasoline by two would-be "robbers." Tony Mao, the former Angel who now says he doused himself with gasoline, told the New York Times that the idea came from an actual incident.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Episode 2847: Rachel Jones offers a refreshingly practical approach to raising capable, responsible kids by integrating cleaning habits into daily family life, without rigid charts or power struggles. With patience, consistency, and a focus on teamwork over task lists, children naturally begin to take ownership of their spaces and routines. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/teaching-children-tidy-habits-early-on/ Quotes to ponder: "We can't just assign tons of chores to each child and be done, no, we will have to follow through with instruction, patience, and consistency." "When children grow up with the belief that 'we do what needs to be done,' it makes the transition to adulthood less overwhelming." "Teaching children to do household tasks means when they are older they won't be paralyzed with certain tasks, instead, they will be capable."

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Amy Griffin for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to re-parent yourself—and how that inner work quietly transforms your parenting.

A Taoist guide to parenting with trust instead of fear — so love flows without control, criticism, or comparison.Parenting often pulls us between overprotection and emotional distance — both driven by fear, not love. In this episode, we explore the Tao of parenting, the art of guiding without controlling, and how to raise resilient, confident children through trust, presence, and balance. Drawing on Taoist wisdom, Inner Child awareness, and the release of criticism, comparison, and judgment, this episode reveals how fear-based parenting patterns form — and how aligning with wu wei creates freedom, emotional safety, and unconditional love for both parent and child.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:INNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqSHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

Raising confident girls starts with how moms regulate emotions, make decisions under pressure and talk to themselves when parenting gets hard.   This year-end episode reflects on self-confidence through the lens of motherhood, offering insight for raising self-confident girls who grow into confident teens and confident women. Drawing from conversations with Dr. Lisa Klein, Nina Badzin, Abby Gagerman, Emily Gordon, Heather Redisch, and Simone Knego, these moments stayed with me long after the mic turned off because they speak to what actually shapes confidence in real life, especially during the emotionally charged seasons of raising teens.   Again and again, the conversation returns to the same truth. Kids are still figuring themselves out emotionally and neurologically, which makes the intensity make sense even when it feels overwhelming. Belonging matters, but tying worth to approval creates fragile self-confidence. Painful moments do not need to be erased to be survivable. When we lead with regulation, patience, and repair, we give our kids something far sturdier than quick solutions.   The lens also turns inward. What happens when we release the pressure to make the perfect call every time? How does parenting shift when self-trust replaces second-guessing? The way we speak to ourselves quietly teaches our children how to respond to their own doubt, disappointment, and discomfort.   As the year comes to a close, this episode offers a steadier way to think about self-confidence. Not something to manufacture or guard, but something practiced daily through presence, perspective, and self-respect.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Reflections on 2025: Lessons and Growth 02:26 Understanding Tween and Teen Development 06:38 The Importance of Friendships and Community 13:51 Navigating Social Struggles and Emotional Resilience  19:40 Deciding When to Let Kids Quit  25:59 Building Real-World Skills for Independence 30:14 Practicing Self-Confidence Daily Connect With Leslie: Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Shannon Hale is the author of more than 50 books for all ages, including the Princess Academy series and her graphic novel memoirs. In this episode, Adam and his daughter Joanna (a longtime fan of Shannon's books) talk to Shannon about the powerful lessons books teach us about empathy, and take a closer look at how stories can either reinforce or dismantle the gender stereotypes kids learn early on. The three lament the decline in leisure reading, and brainstorm ways to nurture new readers and keep students interested in books.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram: @adamgrant | LinkedIn: @adammgrant | Website: https://adamgrant.net/)Shannon Hale (Instagram: @squeetus | Website: https://shannonhale.com/)Follow TED!

4th in the puppy series, the upland part.  This is often an unpredictable phase, where dogs do what they do, and not always what we expect or want.  With a good balance between the control of retriever work and the independence of the upland hunt, a youngster can learn to be an adept and confident partner in both.  It is a process, and it takes time; entirely defined by the way your pup's little head works.  It is one of the most fun aspects of dog training I have ever experienced.
