This one's for you who's longing to be known. Today, we are joined by dear friends of The Grove— Rachel Baldwin, Kerri Stanfill, and Susan Robinson— for a vulnerable conversation about what it really means to be seen, loved, and surrounded by a real community.  But where do we begin? How do we create a space where people feel safe to be known — not only when we win, but also when we ache?Through wisdom and practical encouragement, Rachel, Kerri, and Susan invite us to go first — in vulnerability, in confession, in reaching out, in showing up. They discuss the power of presence, the courage it takes to initiate, and why we don't have to have it all together to start forming or maintaining our meaningful relationships. For the woman longing for deeper friendship but unsure where to begin, this episode is filled with grace and guidance for taking that first brave step.Whether you're flourishing in community or feeling forgotten on the sidelines, you'll leave this conversation reminded that you're not alone.

In this episode, Paige and producer Mike revisit some of the most powerful parenting questions from past episodes—unpacking how to keep communication open, help kids grow in faith, and navigate the hard but necessary topics every Christian parent needs to face. Paige also opens up about walking with a friend through a cancer diagnosis and how our children see authentic faith lived out in times of suffering. From understanding why teens may self-harm to preparing kids spiritually for college, this episode offers wisdom, vulnerability, and gospel-centered encouragement. With honesty and hope, she reminds us that “answering real questions is going to be the key,” and urges parents to ask themselves: Who do I want discipling my kids—the world or Jesus?Episodes Mentioned:Episode 70-What to do when your child is self-injuring with Dr. Mark Mayfield: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/episodes/16776195 Episode 81-Teen Trends: Woke Ideology, Entitled Teens, and School Balance with Dr. Jim Burns: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/episodes/17243587 Episode 61-Strengthening Family Life Prior to Releasing Your Kids to College Life with guest Alex McFarland: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/episodes/16400194Episode 80-Taboo: Topics Christians Should Be Talking About But Don't with Mike Novotny: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/episodes/17216154 Episode 79-A Look Back: Things I've Done Well and Things I Wish I did Better in Raising My Kids: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2271776/episodes/17173527 Paige Clingenpeel: PaigeClingenpeel.comQuestions About the Podcast?

Yep, in this episode, I actually had a full-on conversation with ChatGPT to find out if AI could pull it off as a podcast partner. We cover a lot — from what a podcast even is (seriously, I told ChatGPT to pretend it didn't know), to how indie podcasters like us can use AI tools to plan, edit, organize, and even improve our show's workflow. You'll hear what worked, what didn't, and why I think AI still has a long way to go before it can totally replace that real human connection — but man, it's getting close.

For the 2nd episode for our MAMA Series, I'm taking you behind the scenes of how we're preparing for our second birth—and why this time, things look radically different.

We'll talk about why we're choosing an out-of-hospital birth, the surprising medical decisions I didn't even know I had a say in the first time, and the real pregnancy symptoms no one warned me about. Plus, I'm sharing the actual conversations you should be having with your partner or support team before baby arrives—beyond the nursery paint colors and registry fluff. Whether you're a first-time mama or preparing for birth again after trauma or uncertainty, I hope this episode meets you with honesty, encouragement, and practical support.Episode Highlights, Show Notes + Recommendations on the Living Wisely Well WebsiteIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you! Send me a DM on Instagram with the parts that hit home, or share this with a mama friend who's navigating similar decisions.Next up?

We're joined by Nick from Nick Off Duty, whose YouTube channel documenting real police work has garnered over 200,000 subscribers. He shares insights from his 18 years in law enforcement and introduces his groundbreaking police recruiting app designed to revolutionize how departments find qualified candidates nationwide.Behind the badge lies a world far more complex than most civilians ever see. Through candid analysis of real police encounters, we journey into the split-second decisions and psychological burdens that officers carry every day. What happens when less-than-lethal tactics fail during a confrontation? We dissect bodycam footage showing the moment when an apartment call escalates to lethal force, examining both what happened and the emotional aftermath officers face. The reality is stark—no officer wants to take a life, yet when that tragic moment comes, they're subjected to intense scrutiny, investigations, and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime.Rural policing emerges as a surprisingly challenging reality, with officers patrolling territories spanning hundreds of miles with backup potentially an hour away. This geographic isolation creates unique tactical considerations that urban departments rarely face. When you're the only officer for miles and a situation turns dangerous, how does that reality affect your decision-making?The mental health crisis emerges repeatedly throughout our conversation—both the toll on officers themselves and the challenges of responding to mental health emergencies with limited resources. County jails have become de facto mental health institutions, a role they were never designed to fulfill.Whether you're in law enforcement, considering a career in policing, or simply seeking to understand the human beings behind the badge, this episode offers rare, unfiltered insights into the profession's unseen realities.

Stop treating everybody like a number; go back to having conversations.This starts when you're a list building. This starts when you're attracting your followers. This starts just like it does in the real world. You greet them. You have a conversation. You ask questions. You get a feedback loop.

As a teen leadership coach and a parent of two teenage boys, I've seen firsthand the struggles teens face—and the frustrations parents feel trying to connect with them. From privacy concerns (like knocking before entering their rooms) to trust issues surrounding phones and social media, and even more serious challenges like vaping, the underlying issue always seems to come back to one question: How are we engaging with our teens?       I often hear parents say, “I get it—we had no training for this technology. We're learning as we go, and we're probably getting it wrong.” And that's okay. What matters most is that we start listening—really listening—to our teens.       When Was the Last Time You Had a Real Conversation with Your Teen?   Not just the usual “How was your day?” followed by a one-word response. I mean a genuine, open-ended conversation where they felt heard and understood.       Many teens don't feel comfortable talking to their parents because they're afraid of how we'll react. My 17-year-old shared that a lot of his friends feel trapped in vaping addictions but won't talk to their parents out of fear. Instead of seeking help, they silently accept the health risks because they don't believe their parents will support them—only punish them.       When my own son struggled with vaping, he told me he initially did it to fit in and to ease his anxiety. That terrified me. How could something so harmful be seen as a solution? Later, he admitted it was actually making things worse, but at the time, he knew telling me it helped with anxiety would make me listen. And it did.             Trusting Your Teen—Not to Be Perfect, But to Make Mistakes   Every child needs something different from their parents. One of my sons values privacy; the other benefited from having his door removed when he was struggling. It wasn't about punishment—it was about connection and accountability. We have to trust our teens—not to always make the right choices, but to come to us when they don't.       When my kids get in trouble at school, I don't double down with additional punishments at home. I remember being grounded as a teen—it didn't stop me from making mistakes, but it did teach me to hide them better. Instead of reacting based on fear or our own reputations, we need to help our teens navigate their mistakes and learn from them.   How Do You Want Me to Help You an Open Conversation?   Not every issue is life-threatening. Some are as small as not knocking before entering their room. Others, like phone usage and social media, are bigger. But in all cases, the key is to ask, listen, and engage.   Start by asking: How do you want me to help you figure this out?  How do you want me to listen to you?  How am I showing up for you?       As parents, we make the final decisions, but giving our teens a voice in the conversation makes all the difference. If we create a space where they feel safe to talk—where honesty is met with understanding instead of just consequences—they'll be more likely to come to us when it matters.       I have found the biggest way to bring your teen home to talk to you is by being honest about your own mistakes. Show them that learning, growing, and making better choices is a lifelong process.
