This episode is an update and re-record of episode 56Consequences. Punishments. Limits. Boundaries.These words don't mean the same thing but we often use them interchangeably.In this episode, we get clear on what exactly is a consequence versus a punishment versus a boundary.And how parenting through the lens of regulation, connection, and felt-safety is absolutely not boundary-less or permissive parenting. It's a way of looking at our kids and asking "What does my child need for their success to be inevitable?" and then giving them that.It definitely isn't about making sure our kids are always happy or never frustrated or we always say yes.It's about changing the lens on how we view their expressions of emotions and behaviors.And yes- it's about setting boundaries that keep our kids safe and help their brains develop the internalized co-regulation (self-regulation!) they need!Read a summary of this episode and access the full show notes at: RobynGobbel.com/WhatAboutAConsequenceThe Club- you never wanted to join, but are SO glad when you do.

Welcome to part two of our five part series on soundtracks! This episode is specifically for parents with kids. I'm pulling three random soundtracks from our Parents with Kids card deck and breaking down why they matter. You'll discover why you can fast forward childhood but you can't rewind it (and what that means for decisions like when to give your kid a phone), why tired beats regretful (a soundtrack my daughter taught me when she studied abroad in London), and why family shows up (even when it's a three year old's birthday party or driving a 24 foot Penske truck down the East Coast). These aren't just nice ideas. They're the repetitive thoughts that turn into remarkable actions that turn into remarkable results.

Why do people stay connected to church in a world where belief feels uncertain and worship can sometimes feel ordinary? In this episode of Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Senior Ministries Co-Coordinator Pastor Jane Ritterson to talk about “thin spaces,” embodied prayer, doubt, death and dying, and why community still matters. This conversation explores the tension between belief and trust—and the quiet hope that God often shows up through other people.What You'll Learn:What “thin spaces” are and how they shape faithWhy embodied prayer can matter more than perfect wordsHow faith and doubt can coexist honestlyWhy church is grounding—even when it isn't excitingHow humility and community sustain us in hard seasonsIf this conversation resonated with you, like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who might be asking similar questions about faith, doubt, and community.Connect with Bethany:

Screens are everywhere, and most parents are stuck in the same loop: How much is too much? Am I ruining their brain? Is this just what modern childhood looks like now? In this Raising Eyebrows episode, Family & Relationship Empowerment Coach Celia Kibler and double-board-certified physician Dr. Kailey Buller unpack the real story on screen time so you can stop guessing, drop the guilt, and make confident choices for your family. You will hear clear, practical guidance on what the research actually says about screens from babyhood through the teen years, including why the early years are so sensitive, why slower, calmer shows make it easier for kids to transition away, and how too much screen time affects sleep, mood, tantrums, and language development. Celia and Dr. Kailey talk about background TV, shared screen time, FaceTime with grandparents, and those “just this once” moments on a flight or in a waiting room, so you know what really matters and where you can relax.Then they turn to what to do instead of handing over a device. From loose-parts play with toilet paper rolls, boxes, noodles, and bowls, to obstacle courses, nature walks, grocery store adventures, rainbow dinners, and silly “make up stories” in the car or before bed, you will walk away with simple, screen-free ideas that build your child's brain, feed their imagination, and actually make the day feel easier and more fun for you too.To go deeper with Celia's calm parenting support, join the Be A Better Parent Skool Community at skool.com/beabetterparent, where you can connect with other parents and get access to more coaching, classes, and replays.

Non-monogamy isn't just more love.

If mealtimes feel heavier than they should, this episode is going to make a lot click. I sit down with dietitians Diana and Dani to unpack how diet culture quietly slips into everyday parenting and shapes how kids see food, their bodies, and themselves.

If mealtimes feel heavier than they should, this episode is going to make a lot click. I sit down with dietitians Diana and Dani to unpack how diet culture quietly slips into everyday parenting and shapes how kids see food, their bodies, and themselves. Their new book offers a roadmap for raising kids who trust their bodies and feel safe at the table, and our conversation goes far beyond picky eating. We talk about the language we use, the pressure we don't realize we're applying, and how small daily moments build a child's long-term relationship with food.

How do kids learn about bodies and food before anyone even talks about it? Zoë Bisbing, psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist, joins me to unpack the invisible lessons our kids absorb—and how parents can respond to “hard body moments” without shame or overcorrection.We talk about:* Zoë's journey from inpatient eating disorder treatment to prevention work—and how becoming a parent reshaped her lens.* What kids are really learning about bodies, food, and morality.* How to respond when a child expresses body distress.* Why tolerating “body grief” builds resilience and reduces eating disorder risk.* Why shutting down “I feel fat” with reassurance can accidentally close the door to connection.* What to actually say when your child brings you a hard body moment.* How “fix-it” energy can communicate fear—and what it looks like to tolerate discomfort instead.* Why prevention isn't about perfection, but about creating an emotional climate where kids aren't alone in their pain.* The surprisingly joyful role of simple pleasures—like toaster strudels—in fostering flexible eating.This episode isn't just for parents. We were all children once, impacted by diet culture in our family and beyond. So this is for anyone who wants to create a home where bodies and food are safe, not shameful.Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Do you ever feel like your emotional state rises and falls with how your kids are doing? When they're happy, you feel okay. When they struggle, you panic. When they mess up, you feel like you failed. Maybe you're constantly worried about their future. Maybe their behavior feels like a reflection of you. Maybe your peace depends on whether or not they're okay. In today's episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about one of the most tender and dangerous idols for moms: the idol of our kids. Not loving them. Not caring deeply. Not wanting what's best for them. But placing our identity, security, and worth in how they turn out. We talk about how this shows up when: • You feel responsible for your child's emotions • You fear their mistakes more than you trust God • You define your success by their behavior • You try to control outcomes instead of steward hearts • You lose yourself in motherhood This episode will help you: • Recognize where fear is driving your parenting • Understand why control feels loving but isn't • See how making kids the center creates pressure instead of safety • Learn how to release your child back to God • Begin parenting from trust instead of anxiety If you've been feeling overwhelmed by your child's choices, behavior, or future — this episode will help you see what's really happening underneath it. Your child was never meant to be your source of peace. God is. And when you let Him be, both you and your child can breathe again. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. Valentine's week often centers around flowers, feelings, and romance. But what if love is meant to be much deeper and much more daily than that?In this episode, we step back and ask a foundational question: if the greatest commandment is to love, what does that actually look like inside our homes?Not the cultural version of love built on emotion and attraction, but biblical love rooted in action, commitment, humility, and truth.Together we explore:• The difference between emotional love and chosen love • How children learn love primarily through modeling • Why apology and humility strengthen families • How daily decisions shape the emotional climate of your home • Why boundaries and discipline are powerful expressions of long-term love • The balance of truth and compassion in correction • How small, unseen acts of service form lifelong securityThis is not a formula for flawless parenting. It's an invitation to faithful love.One day, your children will describe what it felt like to grow up in your house. They may not remember every rule or routine, but they will remember the atmosphere. The tone. The way conflict was handled. The way grace was extended. The way love was lived.We can't edit the story later. But we are writing it now, in ordinary dinners, random Tuesday nights, and quiet moments no one else sees.Biblical love isn't seasonal. It's daily. And it has the power to shape generations.JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore a sobering reality: up to 70–80% of young adults aging out of foster care face homelessness, incarceration, addiction, or mental health struggles within just two years. What happens when young people are forced to launch without a runway? The conversation moves from foster care to the everyday home. While many parents joke about 18 being the "launch date," real readiness isn't about a birthday; it's about preparation. Dr. Kathy unpacks how confidence and competence are built over time through identity formation, financial literacy, character development, and gradual responsibility. Launching isn't abrupt independence; it's scaffolded growth. Using the image of learning to ride a bike, from tricycles to training wheels to open pavement, this episode reminds parents that scars are part of growth. Falling while learning to walk didn't mean failure. It meant development. The same is true when young adults stumble in the early stages of independence. Ultimately, the deepest runway parents can build isn't dependence on mom and dad, but security in Christ. When identity is rooted in Jesus, young adults carry with them wisdom, conviction, companionship, and courage wherever they go. True launch readiness isn't just financial or emotional, it's spiritual. If you're wondering how to raise kids who can step into adulthood with clarity and resilience, this episode will give you both vision and practical encouragement.

Whether it's micromanaging playtime, constantly hovering or incessantly texting, the adult takeover of childhood has created a crisis of anxiety in both children and parents.

Wanting your kids to grow up loving Jesus can feel like one of the most meaningful—and heaviest—desires you carry as a Christian mom. When you're balancing work, family, and faith, it's easy to wonder if your busyness is getting in the way of your children's spiritual growth. In this episode of Faith Led Working Moms, we're having an honest, grace-filled conversation about what it really looks like to raise kids who want to follow the Lord—without pressure, perfection, or burnout. If you're a working Christian mom who worries about “messing this up,” this episode will help you breathe easier and trust that God is already at work in your home. In this episode, we talk about: Why wanting your kids to love Jesus can feel both beautiful and overwhelming The freeing truth that your kids are God's kids first Why you are not responsible for controlling your children's faith outcomes How God works through ordinary, everyday moments in busy family life Practical, realistic ways to model faith without adding more to your plate How conversation matters more than curriculum when it comes to spiritual growth Why small, consistent faithfulness matters more than perfect routines Simple faith practices for busy Christian moms: Letting your kids see your faith in real life—not polished or performative Using everyday conversations to point your kids back to God Releasing guilt and trusting God with what you can't control Showing up with presence, honesty, and grace in hard moments Encouragement for working moms: You are not behind. You are not failing. And you are not raising your kids' faith alone.
