Podcasts about raising kids

In this episode, I unravel how to extend connection to our children while acknowledging that some might see this connection as a threat. I offer insights on toning down the demand for connection, enabling our children to relax in it, and thereby strengthen their stress response system. I also reference the previous episodes in this four-part series by talking about the science of opposition, some practical strategies, and tackling kids stuck in protection mode, all with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of making connection a safe experience.In this episode you'll learn:That providing too much connection can often be overwhelming and feel more like danger than connectionTo titrate connection and supply only as much as the child needs or wantsShowing your child you think of them when are not together like buying their favorite snack, titrates connection by showing that you are thinking of them and you see themResources mentioned in this podcast:Exploring Low Demand Parenting: Shifting Power Dynamics And Nurturing Trust {EP 142}Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/oppositional4We're kicking off 2026 with a LIVE webinar- Creating Felt Safety!

Have you ever felt afraid to raise your kids in today's world—like there's a heaviness hovering over your home, your marriage, and your family that you can't quite shake? In this prophetic and deeply encouraging episode, Alyssa shares a vision the Lord gave her that reveals the spiritual warfare many Christian families are facing right now. This isn't about fear or striving harder—it's about learning how to partner with the Holy Spirit in the middle of cultural pressure, parenting overwhelm, and spiritual opposition. Alyssa breaks down why resentment, self-doubt, and feeling “not enough” are often symptoms of spiritual warfare, especially when God is calling moms to stand in the gap for their homes and marriages. Through the story of David and Goliath, she reveals the “one stone” God is asking moms to use in this season—and why the Holy Spirit is not asking you to do more, but to stay close.

In this segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis reacts to a listener's question about the modern "birds and the bees" talk—which, according to author Michael Lewis, has been replaced by "parlays and pickins." Moose reflects on his own upbringing at the racetrack and contrasts it with the hyper-accessibility of gambling today. As a father of three young boys, he discusses his philosophy on parenting in the betting era, emphasizing transparency, moderation, and the importance of teaching responsibility before gambling becomes "the end-all-be-all."

In this episode, we talk about what parenting actually looks like in 2025. We unpack the pressure to parent the “right way” while technology, social media, and AI keep changing the rules faster than we can keep up.We discuss kids and smartphones, social media influence, and why elementary school kids suddenly believe they need adult skincare routines. We also explore the differences between gentle parenting and permissive parenting, and how confusing those labels can be in real life.We explore sharenting and the question of consent when posting about our children online, along with the growing trend of parents turning to AI tools like ChatGPT for real-time parenting advice. We talk honestly about where technology can be helpful, where it becomes risky, and why values still matter more than trends.If you're trying to raise kids in a digital world without losing your common sense, your boundaries, or your identity as a parent, this episode is for you.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the world our children are growing up in, many parents are left wondering: What does this mean for my child's identity, values, and future?In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks with global technology thought leader and author Don Tapscott to explore the rise of identic AI and why understanding it is no longer optional for parents. Drawing from his latest book, You to the Power of Two: Redefining Human Potential in the Age of Identic AI, Tapscott explains how AI is evolving from a tool we use into an intelligent extension of who we are — and what that means for families.Together, they unpack how technology can shape children's judgment, emotional health, and sense of self, why parents must move beyond fear toward informed engagement, and how creating a family “social contract” around technology can strengthen trust and communication. From digital identity and values to screen boundaries and critical thinking, this conversation offers parents practical insight and reassurance as they raise children in a powerful new digital era.Takeaways: The rise of identic AI brings significant implications for how children navigate their identities online, emphasizing the need for parental guidance. As technology advances, parents must prioritize open communication and establish social contracts to ensure responsible device usage among their children. Understanding hormonal changes and their effects on tweens and teens is crucial for maintaining their emotional and mental health amidst social media pressures. It's essential for parents to teach their children about consent and healthy relationships, especially in the context of digital interactions and social media. Navigating the complexities of bullying in the digital age requires a proactive approach to emotional health and effective communication with kids. Fostering independence in children is vital, yet it must be balanced with discipline and guidance in their engagement with technology.

Send us a text#076.  What does it really mean to build generational wealth — and how do you pass it on without losing your kids in the process?  In this episode, I sit down with Mike McCarthy — serial entrepreneur, co-founder of GoBundance, former leader in the growth of Keller Williams, and author of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families. Mike has helped scale businesses doing billions in sales, but what sets him apart is how intentionally he applies leadership, discipline, and values inside his own home.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea: give kids the flint, not the fire. Instead of simply handing down money or opportunity, Mike explains why parents must focus on preparing the heir — teaching responsibility, stewardship, and self-mastery — long before wealth ever changes hands.We also explore one of the most important parenting principles you'll hear: connection before correction.  Especially with adolescents, Mike shares why maintaining trust, presence, and relationship is the foundation that makes guidance, discipline, and financial lessons actually stick.This episode is filled with practical frameworks parents can implement immediately, including:How to teach financial responsibility through skin in the game, not handoutsWhy you need to prioritize connection before correctionWhy preparing heirs matters more than preparing estatesA weekly family meeting that becomes the operating system for your homeA simple daily routine — CHARMS — to help kids build discipline, confidence, and self-masteryHow to raise money-smart kids without entitlement, control, or burnoutThis is a conversation for parents, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want their success to strengthen their family — not come at its expense.If you're focused on raising grounded, capable kids and building a legacy that goes far beyond money, this episode with Mike McCarthy is a must-listen.Show notes and more at:https://moneydadpodcast.com/session076Support the show

In today's episode of The Millionaire Mother Podcast, I'm joined by Jen Szpigiel, founder of Becoming Iconic and Iconic Magazine. Jen is a true OG in the online business space with nearly 20 years in entrepreneurship, nine figures in client sales, a mom of four, and a woman who has continuously reinvented herself without abandoning who she is or what she values. This conversation goes far beyond tactics. We talk about identity, devotion, feminine leadership, and the quiet confidence that comes from building a life and business that actually fit together.

If you've ever felt torn between loving your children deeply and wanting more for yourself… this episode is for you. Tune in to hear: The exact moment Jen realized motherhood wasn't something to "work around" - it was the catalyst Why waiting until your kids are older can quietly cost you more than starting now How to build a business without sacrificing presence, attachment, or your identity The hidden downside of the "self-made" mindset (and what to adopt instead) What peaceful confidence actually looks like in leadership How to step into CEO energy before your business "proves" it's working Why laying one brick a day creates more momentum than chasing motivation How entrepreneurship shapes children's self-belief, resilience, and independence The identity shift that turns ambition into devotion instead of burnout Connect with Jen: Instagram: @becomingiconic Magazine Instagram: @iconicmagazine__ Iconic Podcast

I've interviewed entrepreneurs, creatives, teachers, founders… but motherhood is a whole different universe.There were parts of this episode that surprised me, like how many expats assume you can't buy diapers or formula here, or the fact that kindergarten can start as early as 6–9 months. And then the nanny story… wow. It's one of the wildest behind-the-scenes expat-life stories I've ever heard on the podcast.But the biggest takeaway for me is this: Vietnam can absolutely be an amazing place to raise a child — as long as you're prepared, informed, and connected.Key Talking PointsWhat maternity care in Vietnam is really like for expats — including costs, translation challenges, medical tests, and choosing the right hospital.How motherhood impacts identity abroad — from postpartum depression to losing parts of yourself to rebuilding routines and confidence.Practical realities of raising a kid in Vietnam — baby supplies, pollution, infrastructure, kindergartens, and accessing play areas.How Vietnamese culture treats children — the warmth, attention, and openness families receive everywhere they go.The truth about hiring a nanny in Vietnam — a raw story about contracts, misunderstandings, emotional conflict, and what expat parents need to know.Episode Chapters & Timestamps02:50 — Awards, Identity & Pregnancy Claire talks about influencer awards, losing parts of her identity, and finding out she was pregnant.06:30 — Navigating Healthcare & Maternity Packages We dive into hospitals, costs, tests, translators, and what the maternity journey looks like in Vietnam.12:50 — Motherhood Without Family Support The emotional and practical challenges of being an expat mum, postpartum depression, and building a “tribe.”17:45 — Raising Kids in Vietnam: Food, Formula, Kindergartens & Safety Diapers, play areas, pollution, sidewalks, cultural attitudes toward children — the full picture.28:30 — The Nanny Story: Contracts, Conflict & Lessons Learned Claire shares the dramatic and eye-opening experience of hiring a nanny and the advice she wishes she had known."Send me a message!"Support the show

We share personal anecdotes about their experiences with customer service, dining out with children, and the significance of fostering communication skills in kids. Our conversation also touches on the challenges posed by social media and the need for parents to set boundaries with technology. As they reflect on family traditions and look ahead to the future, they emphasize the importance of intentional parenting and embracing the chaos that comes with raising children.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast01:12 Navigating the Holiday Season03:30 Teaching Kids About Generosity05:16 The Importance of Customer Service09:35 Encouraging Communication Skills in Children11:01 The Impact of Technology on Social Skills21:48 Raising Kids in a Digital Age30:05 Setting Boundaries as Parents38:39 The Challenges of Social Media51:37 Reflections on the Holiday Season01:02:43 Looking Ahead to the FutureSubscribe to my weekly reflections on SubstackFollow The Tired Dad on InstagramFollow The Tired Mom on InstagramSubscribe to Youtube Follow on TikTokFollow on FacebookFor partnerships, email collabs@tireddad.com

Drawing inspiration from David Salyers' Champion Tribes and cultural traditions like Bar Mitzvahs, they explore how to intentionally mark life's big (and small) moments—from firsts like losing a tooth or riding a bike, to transitions, coming-of-age experiences, achievements, and even hardships. The conversation unpacks the Peak-End Rule from the Heath Brothers, shares personal stories of one-on-one trips, monthly dates, bedtime rituals, and holiday traditions, and challenges dads to reject "good enough" parenting for a higher standard of legacy-building.

Headlines say church is shrinking, but the bigger story is personal: will our kids still love Jesus when they leave our home? We tackle the myths and get specific about what actually keeps young adults rooted—starting with genuine salvation, daily Scripture habits, and real service that turns them from consumers into contributors.We break down the difference between belief and belonging, unpack why 1 Corinthians 12 makes isolation a losing strategy, and show how Ephesians 4 equips families to grow through truth spoken in love. You'll hear how clarifying research on church attendance and divorce reframes the narrative, why online stand-ins can't replace embodied discipleship, and how small acts of service—yes, even running slides at eight—train courage, humility, and ownership. We make the case that local church community doesn't just rescue marriages in crisis; it prevents crisis by surrounding couples with counsel, accountability, and friendships that align with Scripture.If you want your son or daughter to keep meeting with God's people, start now: ask for their testimony in writing, set Bible reading benchmarks together, and place them in roles that stretch their gifts. Model respect for volunteers, show your weaknesses, and invite accountability. Faithfulness is our call; outcomes belong to God.

It wasn't too many months ago that I (Joanna) decided to give up on coloring my hair to cover up all the grey. But you want to know something funny? When I look in the mirror, I sometimes laugh to myself and wonder: How many of these grey hairs are from the stress of parenting our youngest daughter as a toddler?

A quiet fear haunts many parents: what if our kids walk away from church—and from God—when they leave home? We tackle that fear head-on with hard data, honest stories, and a roadmap for raising disciples who see church as a covenant community, not a spiritual marketplace. From a heartbreaking turn in a close friend's family to a sweeping look at declining membership and rising “no preference” identities, we unpack the cultural forces shaping the next generation's choices and the personal habits that either anchor them or set them adrift.We get practical about the shift from consumer faith to committed belonging. You'll hear why attendance alone won't make church feel relevant, and how serving, using spiritual gifts, and seeking real accountability transform Sunday into a life-giving rhythm. We talk openly about church hurt, resentment that hardens, and the courage to pursue reconciliation using Matthew 18. We also demystify leadership—pastors are called, not flawless—and explore how humility, accountability, and grace rebuild trust after hypocrisy or failure fracture it.Throughout, we link marriage and church with the biblical picture of covenant: staying, serving, forgiving, and showing up even when convenience says “skip.” Parents will find clear steps to model consistent worship, shepherd heart issues beyond quick labels, and invite kids into real ministry—praying with the lonely, asking deeper questions, and meeting needs beyond the walls. The aim isn't control; it's formation, so our children choose Jesus freely and recognize the church as a family on mission.If this resonates, share it with a parent who needs hope, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help more families find gospel-centered help for marriage and parenting.Support the showFor episode transcripts, click HERE.For more marriage encouragement, visit: www.VowsToKeep.com | V2K Blog | Marriage Counseling | Insta | FBApple Podcast listener?
