Podcasts about raising children

"What I really was grieving was the loss of what I'd hoped my marriage would have been." – Pat Fenner Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with author and podcaster Pat Fenner, who shares her powerful journey through "gray divorce"—divorce that happens to women over 50, typically after a decade or more of marriage. After 37 years of marriage, Pat found herself having to start over at an age when most couples are planning retirement together. Her story brings to light the unique challenges facing women in gray divorce, from employment gaps that make renting an apartment nearly impossible to the crushing blow to self-worth that comes with feeling "unemployable" after decades focused on family. Pat's transformation from feeling like she'd "end up being a greeter at Walmart" to building a successful podcast production business offers hope and practical wisdom. Her journey highlights hidden skills many women possess but don't recognize—skills developed through years of unpaid but invaluable work managing households, raising children, and caring for aging parents. Perhaps most powerfully, Pat discusses reclaiming her identity and becoming what she calls the family "matriarch,” which is not someone who controls, but someone who serves by sharing hard-won wisdom. Her advice to women in similar situations is to take inventory of your skills, involve yourself in family finances before you have to, and remember that "being a grown ass woman" isn't selfish. It's actually inspiring!   Key Topics ●      “What the Heck is Gray Divorce?” (02:14) ●      Employment and Housing Challenges (03:56) ●      The Emotional Toll and Self-Image Impact (06:30) ●      Discovering Hidden Skills and New Purpose (17:48) ●      Overcoming Financial Shame (22:37) ●      Redefining Retirement Goals (28:16) ●      Embracing the Role of Matriarch (34:39)   Resources: ReBuilding Your Life After a Gray Divorce (book) Pat Fenner Website Pat Fenner Gray Resources Silver Women with a Bright Future Podcast   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my son, Ethan, for another candid father-son conversation on navigating life, manhood, and building the skills that last a lifetime. As part of our August series on helping boys transition into strong, capable men, we dig into Ethan's experiences in work, relationships, and personal growth—and the lessons that come with them.   We talk about learning the value of hard work, handling failure without losing momentum, and why being intentional with your time can change everything.

The way of raising children - Pst Philip Craig by R8 Church

It is said that the children are our future. But the way children are formed and how their minds, hearts and souls are shaped is an essential part of that future. Fr Donald Calloway and Patrick O'Hearn have teamed up in a much needed effort to respond to the ways of the pagan world that our children are growing up in. ------------------------------- Get your copy of Virtues of the Saints: 15 Heavenly Habits for Children HERE: https://shopmercy.org/virtues-of-the-saints-15-heavenly-habits-for-children.html ------------------------------ Join Novena for Our Nation HERE: https://rosarycoasttocoast.com/novena-for-our-nation/ -------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZ9OefEJLEx1qYcBxgAFww/join -------------------------------- PATREON - Help support this podcast by becoming a US Grace Force PATRON here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25398590 -------------------------------- Check out ROMAN CATHOLIC GEAR and get amazing Catholic gear for the battle of your life!

As the cost of living continues to rise across the U.S., parents in Pennsylvania are feeling the squeeze — especially when it comes to raising young children. In a recent interview on The Spark, Laura Beltrán Figueroa, Director of Policy and Research at the Pennsylvania Policy Center, shared how childcare expenses are forcing many working families into impossible financial choices. also, on the program.

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I willing to face discomfort and take courageous action? What negative self-talk or pressure am I letting control me? Have I ever taken the time to really name and face what's weighing me down or keeping me up at night? Whether you're a business owner, a hard-working dad, or somewhere in between, Larry lays out why building intentional connections with other men and seeking growth is key to creating a legendary life—both for yourself and the generations to come. Drawing from personal experience and eye-opening statistics, Larry opens up about his own journey through denial, honesty, and growth, unpacking how easy it is for men to stay stuck in “I'm fine” mode—even when struggling internally. He offers three powerful strategies to support mental well-being: ruthless self-honesty, taking care of your body and mind, and intentionally building a supportive, growth-oriented circle of men. If you're ready to get honest, find your tribe, and start moving forward, this episode will be the wake-up call you need. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Move Your Body, Guard Your Mind, and Cut the Junk: Mental and physical health are inseparable. Larry calls this the second pillar: move your body, guard your mind, and cut out the junk. Regular movement, whether it's a walk, a lift, or a sweat session, can clear your head and improve your mood. You don't need a perfect workout routine. Consistency is far more important. Upgrade Your Circle: Brotherhood Over Isolation: Isolation is the silent killer of men's mental health. Many fathers try to “lone wolf” their way through struggles, believing they must handle everything themselves. Larry warns that this mindset can erode your spirit and make life's challenges feel even heavier. The Power of Getting Honest With Yourself: Every father experiences moments of feeling lost, overwhelmed, or out of his depth. According to Larry, the first and most crucial step is honesty. Too often, we brush aside our struggles with the phrase, "I'm fine," when, in reality, we are not. Instead of masking the pain or confusion, Larry encourages dads to face those feelings head-on. This episode will inspire you to disrupt the repeating pattern, reclaim your purpose, and start living a legendary life. Here's what research and observation highlight about men's mental health: One in eight men will deal with serious depression in their lifetime, but over 60% will not get help. Men die by suicide four times more than women, but rarely ask for help. Most dads say that they feel consistently stressed or burned out trying to balance work, fatherhood, and marriage. But nearly half admit feeling completely and totally alone. If you're filling your head with hours of doomscrolling news and mindless social media every day, your risk doubles.  Studies show people who watch over 3 hours of news daily are twice as likely to report severe anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind  

Send us a textWhen parents see headlines about rising juvenile crime rates, it's easy to feel helpless. While juvenile arrests have declined since the 1990s, troubling increases in firearm violence and homicide rates among youth ages 10-14 have parents searching for answers. Teresa Ramirez, motivational speaker and kindness ambassador, offers a compelling alternative to fear—intentional kindness that transforms families from the inside out."Parents need to become the CEO of their families," Teresa explains, sharing practical techniques that help children develop the empathy and social awareness that troubled youth often lack. Her approach isn't complicated—it begins with three simple daily check-in questions, gratitude practices, and powerful words of affirmation that create a foundation of kindness within the home.What makes Teresa's message unique is her focus on intentionality. "People say, 'I'm kind all the time,' but with intentionality comes consistency," she explains. Her stories illustrate how this approach works in real-world situations—from defusing road rage with a clown nose to transforming a hostile server's day with a simple note. These moments demonstrate the ripple effect of kindness that extends far beyond individual interactions.Parents will appreciate Teresa's practical tools—using bubbles to teach children how to pause before reacting, writing sticky notes with encouraging messages, and acknowledging the "invisible people" in our communities. These simple acts build a foundation that helps children navigate social challenges and notice peers who might be struggling or isolated.The episode culminates with Teresa sharing resources from her award-winning book "Raising Kind Children" and her free guide "75 Acts of Kindness"—a graduated list that helps families start their journey toward making kindness "as natural as breathing." Download this powerful resource and discover how your family can be part of the solution to creating a more compassionate world, one intentional act at a time.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

In this deeply moving episode, Caroline shares her poignant journey of loss, grief, and healing following the suicide of her husband. Five years on, Caroline sits down with us to recount how she transformed her life from one of heartbreak to a story of hope and resilience. Caroline opens up about the challenges she faced, from tackling the hardest conversations with her children to finding strength in unexpected places. She discusses the pivotal moments that helped her navigate the toughest days, only to emerge stronger than before, and how honesty with her children helped forge a closer, more understanding family unit. Her story illustrates the importance of patience, community, and finding solace in simple pleasures and symbols - like the persistent blackbird that became a beacon of hope and healing. Caroline's experience exemplifies that while the path of recovery can be long and arduous, the possibility of finding light and purpose after tragedy is always within reach.

Sheikh Mohamad Halabi- Raising Children the Islamic Way

I had a great discussion with world-leading expert and author, Jonathan Alderson, about autism, it's changed definition, and rising occurrence rates. He emphasized the need for individual treatment plans that consider time and order and the importance of early intervention. I was shocked at the number of families on long wait lists for services. To solve this, he created The Thrive Guide, a digital platform where parents can do a child assessment to generate a customize plan for their child and begin helping right away.

Kelly Wilde Miller is a creative mentor, author, and soul-driven entrepreneur whose journey has been profoundly shaped by her quest to find authentic expression and deep belonging. I first met Kelly in May 2021, when she embarked on a Vision Quest with Animas Valley Institute—an experience that opened a transformative path toward manifesting her soul's gifts through creativity.In this episode, Kelly shares vulnerably about her journey through profound self-discovery, including the powerful Vision Quest moment when encountering ancient handprints triggered her realization of longing and disconnection—the "song of the lost white people." She discusses the birth of Prismara, her new venture embodying her soul's authentic expression, and how creativity has become her path toward integration and fulfillment.We explore creativity as a profound act of self-expression and healing, highlighting Kelly's insight that our perceived blocks—what she calls our “maras”—are precisely the path our soul wants us to navigate to fully channel our unique gifts. Kelly also speaks candidly about navigating the complex dance between authenticity, visibility, and nervous system regulation, emphasizing the importance of creating from a place of grounded safety and embodied presence.Our conversation delves into deep questions around finding our true place—psychospiritually, metaphysically, and literally—and what it means to genuinely find oneself amidst the turmoil and opportunity of our times. Kelly shares her thoughts on conscious parenting, the journey of becoming oneself, and why choosing to live from soul is both a courageous and necessary act in today's world.This episode will resonate deeply with anyone on a journey toward authentic expression, creativity, and soulful alignment amidst the challenges and potentials of modern life.--Links & Resources* Watch this episode on YouTube* Connect with Brooks on Instagram or LinkedIn* Soulful Impact: soulfulimpact.co* Subscribe to Kelly on Substack* Follow Kelly's work at Prismara: prismaracircle.com* Check out Kelly's book, Creative Dysregulation--Chapters00:00:00 - Welcome to Soulful Impact Podcast00:02:45 - Meeting Kelly: A Soul Journey Begins00:05:20 - Finding Authentic Expression in Modern Times00:08:17 - Introducing Prismara: Birth of a Soul-Aligned Business00:11:42 - Working the Mirror: Creative Projects as Transformation00:15:36 - The Power of Presence and Embracing the Wobble00:19:32 - Authenticity as the Path to True Expression00:23:10 - The Kelly of Four Years Ago: Lost and Searching00:28:07 - Intergenerational Patterns and Finding Yourself00:33:15 - The Quest for Self: What It Really Means00:37:54 - Vision Quest Revelations: The Wall of Handprints00:42:30 - Finding Belonging in a Disconnected World00:47:05 - Consenting to Life: Saying Yes to Existence00:51:37 - The Symphony of Being in Harmony00:56:10 - Motherhood and Not Losing Yourself01:00:28 - Soul-Centric Development and Necessary Darkness01:04:46 - Raising Children from a Place of Integration01:09:12 - Living in Integrity During Challenging Times01:13:45 - Creativity as Life Force Energy Expression01:18:22 - Creative Regulation and Clearing the Channels01:22:38 - Discerning Soul's Calling from Ego's Distractions01:27:14 - The Path of Authenticity: No Going Back01:32:05 - Future Collaborations and Closing Reflections01:35:45 - Final Thanks Get full access to Soulful Impact at www.soulfulimpact.blog/subscribe

On this week's episode we pay homage to all of the fathers in recovery and outside of recovery. To the stepfather's, soon to be stepfather's, father figures, and our own fathers. It is our annual Father's Day episode. Each of us go around the horn and talk about the plans we may have for this year's Father's day as well as what the ideal Father's Day looks like to us. Then we go into the things we have learned in recovery that have helped us become the fathers we are today and the attributes we look for and strive for in raising our children. We also talk about the mistakes and missteps we have made and what we have learned from them. Each of us offer a unique perspective on being that very integral role model that we call a father or father figure. One who loves does not seek his own advantage. Love acts the part, and anything else is hypocrisy.                          -Emmet Fox- Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.
