What happens when a book about sex work, patriarchy, and motherhood collides with our own messy stories of choice, pregnancy, and parenting? Pure Real Talk and the reality: Motherhood is never simple. In this episode, Stacy and Daynah dive into *spoiler alert* Margo's Got Money Trouble and end up everywhere from pottery-as-therapy and day drinking confessions to abortion stigma, single mom survival, and postpartum euphoria (yes, it's real). They unpack the way beauty is currency, the patriarchy still shapes every decision, and how women just keep holding it all together. And because it's us, we also detour through tramp stamps, 90s nostalgia, and the pop culture comfort food of Netflix binges. It's sharp, heartfelt, occasionally irreverent, and exactly the kind of conversation your group text wishes it was having. Content Warning: This episode discusses topics related to pregnancy, including personal decisions around abortion. If these subjects feel overwhelming, please take care of yourself.

Parenting kids with vulnerable nervous systems often means that parents and caregivers are living in a state of chronic chaos and danger. Even if the behaviors aren't ‘that bad,' it's dysregulating to live with someone in chronic protection mode. In this episode, I take a closer look at how polyvagal theory helps us understand the nervous system's longing for safety—even when life feels overwhelming—and how parents can increase cues of safety even in the midst of ongoing stress.In this episode, you'll learn:Why neuroception continuously scans for cues of safety and danger, and how that shapes whether we live in connection or protection mode.How to use the “inside, outside, between” framework to notice and intentionally increase cues of safety in daily life.The hopeful truth that cues of safety from relationships, pets, and nature can eventually be internalized—giving us safety that lives within us, always.Resources mentioned in this podcast:Felt Safety (Inside) {EP 161}Felt Safety (Outside) {EP 162}Felt Safety (Between) {EP 163}Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/chronicprotectionmodeTeaching kids about their owl, watchdog, and possum brain is one key piece of growing their owl brain and calming their watchdog and possum brain!Register for this once-a-year webinar on September 4, 2025 at RobynGobbel.com/TeachKidsTheBrainYou'll get access to the recording and OODLES of resources.Club Members- you do NOT have to register!!!*** Check Out All Robyn's Free Resources!You can download all sorts of free resources, including webinars, eBook, and infographics about topics such as lying, boundaries, and co-regulation!RobynGobbel.com/FreeResources :::Grab a copy of my book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubApply for the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With) robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

What if the place that should be your sanctuary—your home—could be transformed from a place of fear into a space where respect isn't just hoped for, but required by law? Today on Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Sabrina Osso, founder and CEO of Osso Safe, a revolutionary company transforming the way we approach safety in our homes, schools, and workplaces. As a TEDx speaker, published author, and passionate advocate, Sabrina is transforming her pain into a force for good, empowering families everywhere. A proud member of the National Association of Realtors and the Women's Federation for World Peace, she was recently honored with the HerStory Award in March 2024. Through her innovative Osso Safe certification program, children's book "Home Safe Home for You and Me," and the Osso Safe Kids Video, Sabrina is reimagining what "home sweet home" can and should be—making respect a required standard in all residences. Key Takeaways ➤ Respect as a Required Standard: Osso Safe is working to make respect a mandatory requirement in all residential properties through their certification program, which includes policies, seminars, apps, and assigned therapists. ➤ The Difference Between Abuse and Discipline: Abuse instills fear while discipline instills education—this crucial distinction helps parents understand how to guide children from a place of respect rather than control. ➤ Children Need Voice and Choice: Rather than waiting until age 18, children should be empowered to speak up about unsafe situations and know they have trusted adults who will listen and protect them. ➤ Documentation is Crucial: For anyone experiencing abuse, documenting incidents helps combat gaslighting and creates a clear pattern that can be used for protection and legal purposes. ➤ Healing Happens Both Ways: When you heal yourself and then help others heal, it creates a powerful two-way street of transformation and empowerment. Powerful Quotes from Sabrina"Abuse instills fear, and discipline instills education. When you discipline your kids, it should come from a place of education, not fear and manipulation and domination and control.""We trust our children at Osso Safe. We are giving them voice and choice... You kids know who makes you feel safe and free and respected and good, so we're trusting them."

Homeschooling isn't just about academics.  It's about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments.  In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection.  You'll hear encouragement for the overwhelmed mom, perspective on kids' different personalities, and practical ways to build a gentle and classical foundation in your home. If you're looking for fresh vision and tangible ideas for your homeschool days, this is an episode you won't want to miss! In this episode, we cover: Erin's family life with four children, 15 years of homeschooling, and a business run alongside homesteading A shift from academic goals to discipleship, character development, and strong family habits The meaning of a “gentle and classical” approach, blending Charlotte Mason influence with classical education in a soft, approachable way Preschool years centered on scripture memory, virtues through song, habit training, and life skills, with limited academics before age six Encouragement for overwhelmed moms: God equips you for the children He gave you, one hard day won't undo everything, and comparison online is misleading The role of children's personalities in shaping both family dynamics and parental growth Homeschooling with a deeper purpose of individualized learning, supporting specific needs, and cultivating family culture Lessons learned from the early years, including the importance of consistency in habits and the danger of overemphasizing grades or peer influence Recognizing readiness for formal learning by watching attention spans, keeping lessons short, and letting children progress in their own time Homeschooled kids often learn to use free time creatively, developing projects and play rather than becoming bored or dependent on screens View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

What if dysregulation isn't the problem? I know I know- that's really hard to wrap our brain around! At least, it was for me. In this episode, I continue the conversation from last week's interview with Deb Dana and take a deeper dive into one of her most powerful insights: that dysregulation is simply part of being human—and it's the absence of repair that becomes the real challenge.But I think for parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors, we need to pause and explore that a little more. Because- in your home- dysregulation is a real problem!!!In this episode, you'll learn:Why dysregulation is a natural part of being human, and how polyvagal theory reframes it with compassion and hopeThe difference between dysregulation itself and the behaviors that can emerge from itHow offering repair—even when it isn't received—can create powerful shifts in your child's nervous system and in your ownResources mentioned in this podcast:Polyvagal Theory as a Path to Hope: Regulation, Repair, and Connection with guest Deb Dana {EP 233}The Club – my online parent community with resources, events, and connections!!!!The Attachment Series - eBookFree Resource Library Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/polyvagalhope***Apply now for the BBTI's Immersion Program for Professionals!Read all the details about the program and submit your application at RobynGobbel.com/Immersion*** :::Grab a copy of my book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubApply for the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With) robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

Satya (non-compromising) is about staying true to your highest values, choosing not to compromise them for lesser desires. Practicing Satya means approaching others with curiosity rather than judgment. Svadhyaya (to understand) teaches that understanding yourself is the key to understanding others.

Brahmacharya, or non-indulgence, involves maintaining a sattvic (peaceful) state by avoiding excessive comfort and staying physically active with mindful practices like japa. It encourages using convenience as a tool, not a trap.

Hi friends!  It's almost time for County Fair here, and with that comes a lot of reflecting about the kids and their growth doing livestock projects.  Today we're talking about the power of animals and livestock in the lives of our kids, and how responsibility, work ethic, and good mentors can launch kids into a new level of self-confidence doing hard things even when they don't want to or think they can't.  Whether you are interested in 4-H, FFA or giving your kids the responsibility of raising livestock outside of a formal program, this episode gives insight into some unexpected benefits when kids grow up raising animals.   All the Best!

In this episode of the Raising Gender Confident Kids podcast, hosts Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch dive into the essential theme of truth in today's cultural moment. Building on last week's discussion of compassion and hope, they emphasize the importance of being clear, loud, and purposeful when communicating truth. Dr. Koch highlights the power of evidence, particularly from scripture, to affirm our identities as fearfully and wonderfully made individuals created in God's image. Tune in as they explore how to engage in loving and grace-filled conversations that empower both parents and children to navigate gender confidence amidst a complex world.

In order for us to be able to care for others, we must first care for ourselves by letting go of practices such as self-criticism and doubt. Ahimsa (non-harming) is not only about refraining from causing harm to others - it also applies to ourselves. By switching from having a reactive mind to a more reflective intellect, we can make choices that support our needs instead of our wants. Focusing on convenience over comfort fosters the idea of aparigraha (non-possessing) and helps us prioritize peace over attachment. In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development. You can always catch up on the previous episode.For those on the journey of self-development, Chinmaya Mission Niagara provides a community forum to listen, reflect, and contemplate. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more updates about upcoming live workshops, courses, and more! Chinmaya Mission is an international non-profit organization working to transform individuals through the knowledge of Vedanta.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!Writers dream of the day they'll hold their finished book, but few warn you about how intense the editing phase can be. In this episode, debut novelist Jill Beissel gets real about the messy, magical process of turning a rough draft into a polished novel readers will love.Jill's upcoming book, Glitter and Gold (out October 7!), went through what she calls “color-coded chaos”—a DIY system using highlighters, sticky notes, and sheer persistence to untangle plot issues and deepen character arcs.She also shares what it's like to write while raising two young kids and working full-time. Some nights she wrote 500 words, others just 50, but she kept showing up. Her writing sprints, “progress over perfection” mindset, and decision to celebrate any words written (instead of beating herself up for what she didn't write) are what more of us need to hear.We talk about dual timelines, beta readers, and why sometimes, the bravest thing a writer can do is shelve a manuscript after 100+ rejections and start fresh. And if you're near Phoenix, join her for the launch of Glitter and Gold at Changing Hands Bookstore on October 17. Come for the celebration and stay for the reminder that persistence and patience really do pay off.

When kids swear, it often feels jarring, disrespectful, or even threatening. But swearing isn't about defiance or being a bad kid- it's a clue about the state of your child's nervous system. Swearing might mean your child is overwhelmed, dysregulated, or struggling to find their real voice. Of course, understanding the behavior isn't excusing the behavior. BUT! When we understand where the behavior is coming from, we get much better and more effective ideas about how to address it.In this episode, we explore what's really going on beneath the swearing, why it might be possible to consider that swearing isn't inherently bad, and how parents can respond in ways that build regulation, connection, and felt safety.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your own reaction to swearing is the first thing to explore, and how to regulate through itWhat swearing might really be communicating, including pain, overwhelm, or a need for controlHow to scaffold emotional expression so your child learns to use their real voice instead of cussing Resources mentioned in this podcast:Regulated Does Not Equal Calm {EP 31}Boundaries with Connection Part 1 of 3 {EP 111}Boundaries With Verbal Aggression with Juliane Taylor Shore {EP 115}How I've Strengthened my Psychological Boundaries {EP 117}Match The Energy, NOT the Dysregulation {EP 155}The Club is welcoming new members starting next Tuesday!

But what really struck me was her deeply personal journey into ethical non-monogamy—especially within a decades-long marriage, while raising kids, and embracing her full identity as a woman over 50.We talked about everything: how she and her husband first explored the “seven-year itch,” how their kids found out about their open marriage, what it means to be oriented toward multiple partners, and how she's dealt with jealousy (hint: it's not what you'd expect).Ariela shares what it's like to be affectionate, honest, and deeply committed in more than one relationship—and why she had to “come out” about it dramatically… onstage.This episode is about expanding our definitions of love, sex, parenting, and what it means to live authentically in our relationships—at any size, at any age, and on our own terms.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome + Meet Ariela Salinas Fiora01:12 – How we met: SAR and sexual attitude reassessment02:00 – Marrying young & the start of non-monogamy03:28 – The “Seven-Year Itch” conversation in the car05:05 – When kissing isn't just kissing06:32 – Realizing she's always been non-monogamous07:55 – Fat, queer, and rewriting representation09:20 – Telling the kids about their open marriage10:47 – Bringing partners home: How it works in real life12:10 – Polycules, partners, and blended connections13:40 – Boundaries, intimacy, and making it work15:00 – Jealousy, priorities, and staying grounded16:25 – Final thoughts on love, honesty, and self-trust17:55 – Outro + Where to listen for moreWant a deeper look?

Have you ever asked yourself? When's the last time I really asked my kids what they think about God or faith? How can I start the journey of exploring faith side-by-side with my kids? What are the ways I can create more open, judgment-free conversations with my children? For many dads, the idea of being a “spiritual leader” in the home feels intimidating, even paralyzing. Maybe you grew up with rigid, guilt-driven religious expectations or maybe you just don't feel like you know enough. The truth? None of that has to stop you. In fact, the most meaningful spiritual leadership happens when we admit we don't have it all figured out—and decide to walk the road of faith together with our kids. My Favorite Protein Level 1 Bars   Creatine Overdrive  Hydration Sticks Larry and Ethan get real about their own experiences growing up Catholic—the guilt, confusion, and the struggles to make sense of complex religious teachings. They share how, as adults, they've navigated those challenges together and discovered the power of learning side by side, embracing faith as a shared father-son journey rather than a top-down lecture. You'll hear their honest talk about breaking down the barriers of feeling “not good enough” to lead spiritually, why vulnerability can actually be your greatest asset in these moments, and practical ideas for connecting with your children around faith without fear or overwhelm. Plus, they touch on the importance of building a personal relationship with God—outside of simply following rituals or attending church—and how even small daily steps, like reading a chapter from the Book of John together, can transform your family's spiritual life. So if you're a dad who's ever felt uncertain about how to talk faith with your kids, or if you're looking for encouragement to deepen those connections, this episode is for you. Let's step into the arena together, lead and learn as a team, and discover what it truly means to create a legacy of intentional, faith-filled fatherhood. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube Today, we dig into: You don't have to “have it all figured out” to lead spiritually: Many dads, including myself, feel intimidated by spiritual conversations because we think we need to be experts. The truth? The best leadership often comes from learning side-by-side with our kids. Make it a journey, not a lecture: Spiritual leadership isn't about preaching from a pedestal. It's about reading, questioning, and growing together—sometimes stumbling, sometimes leading, always learning. Relationship over ritual: The most powerful faith lessons come from genuine connection and conversation—not just attending church or following rituals. Building a relationship with God, and helping our kids do the same, is what matters most. This episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and practical advice for fathers who want to step up as spiritual leaders without the fear of not being “good enough.” Here's what research and observation highlight about religious and spiritual conversations within families: Studies found that 58% of men admit to avoiding religious or spiritual conversations for fear of being unprepared or judged. Research  found that 67% of adolescents reported feeling more connected to parents when both were engaged in joint learning or spiritual exploration. Research indicates that 73% of practicing Christian parents say it's essential to teach their children about the faith, yet only 35% report regularly engaging in spiritual conversations at home. thedadedge.com/alliance https://1stphorm.com/?a_aid=dadedge
