When your child's life is shaped by medical complexity, childhood can quickly become defined by hospital stays, procedures, and limitations. In today's episode, we explore how medically supported camps transform that narrative—creating space for joy, belonging, and healing for children, families, and even healthcare providers themselves. Katie Taylor is joined by Dr. Laura Blaisdell, Chief Medical Officer of SeriousFun Children's Network, and Jamie Gentille, Child Life Specialist Leader and former camper, to share the life-changing impact of camp for children with serious illnesses. From zip-lining with oxygen tubing to late-night cabin chats that build confidence and identity, this conversation highlights how thoughtfully designed camp experiences allow kids to be kids—without compromising medical safety. This episode explores the power of positive childhood experiences, how camps seamlessly integrate complex medical care behind the scenes, the role of child life specialists and medical volunteers in creating safe spaces for play, and why camp is just as healing for providers as it is for children. You'll also hear Jamie's personal journey from camper to child life specialist and why camp will always feel like home.

When you started parenting, you probably had ideas about the kind of parent you wanted to be. Maybe you imagined patient bedtimes and peaceful mornings. Then reality hit, and you found yourself doing things you swore you'd never do. Parent Maile Grace knows this feeling well. In this conversation, she shares how her parenting values have shifted since her daughter was born. She talks about moving away from strategies like timeouts that seemed to work in the moment but didn't align with what she truly wanted for her relationship with her child.  You'll hear how she supports her kids when they're fighting instead of jumping in to fix everything, and why building connections with neighbors matters more to her now than having a perfectly organized home. If you've ever wondered whether collaborative parenting actually works in real life, this episode gives you a peek into one family's experience. Questions this episode will answer What is collaborative parenting? Collaborative parenting means working with your child to solve problems instead of using punishments or rewards to control their behavior. It involves understanding what your child is struggling with and finding solutions that work for everyone. What are parenting values? Parenting values are the principles that guide how you want to raise your children and the kind of relationships you want to build with them. They often include things like respect, connection, autonomy, and understanding. How do children solve problems? Children learn problem-solving skills when adults support them through conflicts rather than immediately fixing things. They practice identifying their own feelings and what matters to them, then working together to find solutions. What is collaborative problem solving? Collaborative problem solving is an approach where parents help children navigate challenges by exploring what's hard for everyone involved and creating solutions together, rather than imposing consequences or rewards. How much sibling fighting is normal? Sibling conflicts are a regular part of childhood. Instead of trying to eliminate fighting completely, parents can focus on supporting children through these moments to help them develop problem-solving and relationship skills. Why is parent collaboration important? When parents work collaboratively with children, kids learn to understand their own feelings and what matters to them. This approach builds stronger relationships and helps children develop skills they'll use throughout their lives. What you'll learn in this episode How one parent's values shifted from wanting a "well-behaved" child to prioritizing connection and understandingWhy some common parenting strategies work in the short term but can damage relationships over timeA real example of how collaborative problem-solving looks when siblings are fightingHow to support children in working through conflicts without immediately stepping in to fix things

In this powerful episode of RISE Urban Nation Podcast, host Taryell Simmons sits down with Constance “Serenity Sage” English, founder of the UnYes Movement and Siblings United Visitations, to explore how she transformed foster care trauma into a faith-rooted national reform movement. Serenity shares her journey from being silenced and separated from siblings to becoming a bold advocate for family preservation, sibling restoration, and healing-centered systems change. Drawing on her lived experience, spiritual grounding, and visionary leadership, she introduces the UnYes Movement as a reversal of every harmful label placed on foster youth—a resounding YES to identity, belonging, faith, and justice. This conversation is a call to action for leaders, advocates, and changemakers to move beyond awareness into restoration, and to help build communities where children are seen, heard, and never alone again. Links & Resources:

Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown, The Neon Demon) is an A-list actor who calls herself a "nepo sibling.” When she was just two years old, she played a younger version of her sister Dakota Fanning's character in I Am Sam. But for someone who's been famous for nearly her entire life, there's a bit of mystery surrounding Elle — and that's intentional. During the Toronto International Film Festival last September, she sat down with Tom Power to talk about her latest film, Sentimental Value, which broke applause records when it premiered in Cannes earlier this year.

On this week SMA, Chris has some Soft Play beef, he makes a public apology to friend of the pod, Carl Hutchinson and he reveals why he begrudges Nana Bridget the leftovers! Rosie hears from Kev with some low level (unintentional) trolling and she explains her love of clingfilm. All of this plus some fantastic WhatsApp messages

Story Transcript:No: Det var en kald vinterdag i Oslo, og snøen dalte sakte ned over byens travle gater.En: It was a cold winter day in Oslo, and snow was slowly falling over the city's busy streets.No: Oslo Vintermarked var et vakkert syn, opplyst av varme lys fra de mange små trebodene.En: The Oslo Vintermarked was a beautiful sight, illuminated by warm lights from the many small wooden booths.No: Duften av ristede kastanjer og gløgg fylte luften mens folk beveget seg mellom bodene, pakket inn i sine varme skjerf og luer.En: The scent of roasted chestnuts and gløgg filled the air as people moved between the booths, wrapped up in their warm scarves and hats.No: Midt i denne livlige mengden gikk Sigrid og Leif, søsken med hver sin plan for dagen.En: In the midst of this lively crowd walked Sigrid and Leif, siblings each with their own plan for the day.No: Sigrid, praktisk som alltid, hadde et bestemt mål: å finne en ny vinterkåpe.En: Sigrid, practical as always, had a specific goal: to find a new winter coat.No: Hennes gamle kåpe var slitt og hun trengte desperat en ny, som hun håpet kunne tåle flere vintre fremover.En: Her old coat was worn out, and she was in desperate need of a new one, which she hoped could withstand several winters to come.No: "Vi skal finne noe fint til deg, Sigrid," sa Leif med sitt vanlige smil.En: "We'll find something nice for you, Sigrid," said Leif with his usual smile.No: Han elsket å spre glede og hadde ofte en optimistisk holdning til det meste.En: He loved spreading joy and often had an optimistic attitude towards most things.No: "Denne gangen må jeg holde meg innenfor budsjettet," svarte Sigrid, med blikket festet på de ulike butikkene.En: "This time I need to stay within the budget," replied Sigrid, with her gaze fixed on the various shops.No: Hun visste hvor stramt hun måtte holde pengene, men ønsket seg likevel noe som både så pent ut og var holdbart.En: She knew how tightly she needed to hold onto her money but still wanted something that looked nice and was durable.No: Ved den første boden de stoppet ved, prøvde hun på en kåpe som var både vakker og varm, men da hun så prislappen, sukket hun stille.En: At the first booth they stopped by, she tried on a coat that was both beautiful and warm, but when she saw the price tag, she sighed quietly.No: Den var altfor dyr.En: It was way too expensive.No: Mens de fortsatte å lete, prøvde hun flere alternativer, men ingen av dem ga henne den følelsen som den første hadde gjort.En: As they continued to search, she tried several alternatives, but none of them gave her the feeling that the first one had.No: Hun var i villrede, dratt mellom ønsket om kvalitet og behovet for rimelighet.En: She was at a loss, torn between the desire for quality and the need for affordability.No: "Jeg vet du liker den første," sa Leif plutselig.En: "I know you like the first one," Leif suddenly said.No: "Hvorfor ikke kjøpe den?En: "Why not buy it?No: Jeg kan legge til de ekstra hundrelappene du mangler.En: I can add the extra hundrelappene you're short."No: "Sigrid stoppet opp og så på ham.En: Sigrid stopped and looked at him.No: "Men Leif, du har dine egne utgifter," svarte hun.En: "But Leif, you have your own expenses," she replied.No: Hun visste hvor impulsiv han kunne være.En: She knew how impulsive he could be.No: "Jeg insisterer," han smilte varmt.En: "I insist," he smiled warmly.No: "Hva er poenget med penger hvis jeg ikke kan hjelpe deg når du trenger det?En: "What's the point of money if I can't help you when you need it?No: Dessuten gjør det meg glad å se at du får det du ønsker deg.En: Besides, it makes me happy to see you get what you want."No: "Med en blanding av takknemlighet og overraskelse aksepterte Sigrid tilbudet hans.En: With a mix of gratitude and surprise, Sigrid accepted his offer.No: Hun kjøpte kåpen, den samme hun hadde forelsket seg i ved første blikk.En: She bought the coat, the same one she had fallen in love with at first sight.No: Hun lovet seg selv å betale ham tilbake så snart hun kunne.En: She promised herself to pay him back as soon as she could.No: Da de forlot markedet, kjente Sigrid en ny varme, ikke bare fra den nye kåpen, men også fra Leifs generøse gest.En: As they left the market, Sigrid felt a new warmth, not just from the new coat, but also from Leif's generous gesture.No: Hun hadde innsett at det var greit å ta imot hjelp noen ganger, og at hun ikke alltid trengte å klare alt alene.En: She had realized that it was okay to accept help sometimes and that she didn't always need to handle everything on her own.No: Hun smilte, og de gikk hjemover sammen, gjennom den snødekte byen, med hjertene litt lettere enn før.En: She smiled, and they walked home together, through the snow-covered city, with their hearts a bit lighter than before.

Sibling loss runs far deeper than many people realize. When a child loses a sibling, they lose not only shared memories of the past, but also the future they imagined growing up together. For bereaved parents, this grief can be especially painful to witness—because sibling loss is rarely talked about and often misunderstood. Siblings who lose a brother or sister are often called the forgotten grievers. While much of the support and acknowledgment rightly centers on parents, surviving children may feel overlooked, unsure where their grief belongs, or hesitant to express their pain. Many parents are left wondering how to best support their children while navigating their own overwhelming loss. In this episode, Laura is joined by two guests who have each experienced the profound loss of two siblings. They also share a unique family connection as father and daughter-in-law. Together, they offer honest insight into what sibling loss truly feels like, what grieving children often carry silently, and how parents can gently and intentionally support their surviving children through the loss of a brother or sister. Whether you are a parent seeking to better understand your child's grief, or someone wanting to acknowledge the often unseen pain of sibling loss, this conversation offers compassion, clarity, and hope for walking this road together. Bobby is married to his wife, Amy, and together they have four adult children. He serves in the Air Force and lives in the country near Wichita, Kansas and is the Founder of Sibling Lifeline. Bobby is deeply committed to service both in uniform and in the community. He volunteers with Make-A-Wish, the Wichita Children's Home, and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). He is also actively involved in leading fellow Airmen into the local community through various youth outreach events. In his personal time, Bobby enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking trails, and playing sports. He carries the memory of his two brothers, Robert and Carl Bisterfeldt, both in Heaven, which continues to shape his compassion for others and his dedication to serving those navigating grief and loss. Gabby is married to her husband, Caleb, and together they share life with their two amazing cats, Miles and Willow, along with their dog Murphy. She works in business management and lives in Edmond, Oklahoma. Gabby is the Co-Founder of Sibling Lifeline. Gabby enjoys spending time with family and friends, running, and traveling. She has a deep passion for serving others and volunteers with several nonprofit organizations. Having both a brother and a sister in Heaven, Caleb Lillis and Jessicca Haveman, Gabby brings compassion, empathy, and lived understanding alongside those navigating grief and loss.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Sibling Solidarity: A Winter's Resolution in the Barri Gòtic Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-01-06-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Els carrers del Barri Gòtic de Barcelona estaven plens d'un aire hivernal, amb les llums de Nadal encara brillant per sobre les capçades dels edificis antics.En: The streets of the Barri Gòtic in Barcelona were filled with a wintery air, with Christmas lights still shining above the rooftops of the old buildings.Ca: A dins del cafè acollidor, vella llum càlida il·luminava les cares somrients de les persones que gaudien de xocolates calents i torradetes.En: Inside the cozy café, warm, gentle light illuminated the smiling faces of people enjoying hot chocolates and toast.Ca: Pere, Laia i Judit estaven asseguts a la seva taula preferida, prop de la finestra.En: Pere, Laia, and Judit were seated at their favorite table, near the window.Ca: Des d'allà, podien veure la gent passar fora, carregats de regals i amb somriures a la cara.En: From there, they could see the people passing by outside, laden with gifts and smiles on their faces.Ca: Era el Dia de Reis, un moment de trobades i tradicions familiars.En: It was the Day of Kings, a time for gatherings and family traditions.Ca: Però avui, els germans tenien un tema seriós a tractar.En: But today, the siblings had a serious matter to discuss.Ca: Pere va mirar les seves germanes amb una expressió de determinació, però amb una ombra de preocupació en els ulls.En: Pere looked at his sisters with an expression of determination but with a shadow of concern in his eyes.Ca: Ell era el més gran, sempre amb la responsabilitat al damunt.En: He was the eldest, always bearing the responsibility.Ca: Laia, amb el seu sentit artístic i necessitats emocionals, volia trobar una solució que fos perfecta per a tothom.En: Laia, with her artistic sense and emotional needs, wanted to find a solution that was perfect for everyone.Ca: Judit, de natural ambiciosa, sovint estava lluny per feina i ara carregava el pes de la culpa per no poder ajudar més.En: Judit, naturally ambitious, was often away for work and now bore the weight of guilt for not being able to help more.Ca: "M'agradaria parlar sobre els nostres pares", va dir Pere amb calma.En: "I'd like to talk about our parents," Pere said calmly.Ca: Va mirar al voltant del cafè, inhalant l'aroma del cafè torrat que emplenava l'aire.En: He looked around the café, inhaling the aroma of roasted coffee that filled the air.Ca: "Cal que prenguem una decisió sobre el que farem.En: "We need to make a decision about what we will do."Ca: "Laia va fer una mena de gemec, "Si us plau, Pere, no hi ha cap necessitat de portar-los a una residència.En: Laia let out a kind of groan, "Please, Pere, there's no need to send them to a nursing home.Ca: Els podríem mantenir a casa.En: We could keep them at home."Ca: ""Però Laia, això requereix molt temps i esforç", va replicar Pere, amb un to ferm però comprensiu.En: "But Laia, that requires a lot of time and effort," Pere replied, with a firm but understanding tone.Ca: Judit, amb el cap cuité i les mans entrelligades sobre la taula, va murmurar: "Ho sento, però el meu treball em porta amunt i avall.En: Judit, with her head bowed and hands clasped on the table, murmured, "I'm sorry, but my job takes me back and forth.Ca: No puc prometre ser-hi sempre.En: I can't promise to always be there."Ca: "Pere va oferir una solució que havia estat pensant.En: Pere offered a solution he had been considering.Ca: "Podríem fer-ho rotatiu, que cadascú cuidi els pares en dies diferents.En: "We could rotate, with each of us taking care of our parents on different days."Ca: ""No sé si això funcionaria," va interrompre Laia, "Podríem ajuntar diners i contractar algú que els cuidi a casa.En: "I don't know if that would work," Laia interrupted, "We could pool money together and hire someone to take care of them at home."Ca: "La conversa es va anar escalfant.En: The conversation grew heated.Ca: Les xocolates sobre la taula es van oblidar a mesura que les veus pujaven.En: The hot chocolates on the table were forgotten as their voices rose.Ca: Finalment, Pere, amb un sospir, va revelar alguna cosa que havia guardat dins seu.En: Finally, Pere, with a sigh, revealed something he had been holding inside.Ca: "No puc seguir portant aquesta càrrega jo sol.En: "I can't keep carrying this burden by myself.Ca: Hi ha hagut dies que m'he sentit aclaparat.En: There have been days when I've felt overwhelmed."Ca: "Aquestes paraules van silenciar la taula.En: These words silenced the table.Ca: Les seves germanes van mirar-lo amb sorpresa i compassió.En: His sisters looked at him with surprise and compassion.Ca: Els seus cors es van omplir d'entesa mentre la gravetat de la situació es feia més clara.En: Their hearts were filled with understanding as the gravity of the situation became clearer.Ca: Després d'un moment de reflexió, van decidir ajuntar les seves forces.En: After a moment of reflection, they decided to join forces.Ca: Escoltar els pares era important, així que

without having to leave their home.Ca: Al final, mentre la gent continuava passant pel carrer amb alegria, els germans es van adonar que no eren només els regals de Reis el que portava la felicitat aquest dia, sinó la comprensió i el suport mutu que oferia una família unida.En: In the end, while people continued to pass cheerfully by on the street, the siblings realized it wasn't just the King's

Professor Toby Wilkinson. The Ptolemies practiced sibling marriage, creating complex family rivalries. Powerful queens like Cleopatra I and III emerged as capable rulers who navigated civil wars and stabilized the kingdom. Cleopatra III, in particular, was a formidable strategist who managed conflicting dynastic ambitions through force of personality. 1845

Are you exhausted from the nonstop “That's mine!” “Stop touching me!” “It's not fair!” battles—and you're wondering what to say in the moment without yelling or punishing?What if sibling fights weren't something you “managed”… but something you could actually heal at the root—with simple scripts that build emotional strength, self-awareness, and better behavior over time?In this video, Greg & Rachel Denning (extraordinary parents of 7, world travelers, and family coaches) share real-life, word-for-word scripts for the most common sibling conflict triggers—from toddlers to teens—including fighting over toys, possessions, personal space, copying/mimicking, fairness, name-calling, snapping, blaming, and even aggression.You'll learn how to stop doing “symptom management” and instead resolve the underlying causes—so conflict doesn't become your family's daily culture. The Dennings break down their calm, connected approach: validate first, teach the principle, role-play the skill, and use natural consequences (without harshness).Key Takeaways:✅ Stuff is never worth the relationship — don't let toys, beds, or “my space” become a source of ongoing conflict.✅ Start with validation — calm the emotion first without picking sides so kids feel seen and can actually listen.✅ Teach the cause, not just the moment — long-term change happens when you heal the “infection,” not just manage the symptom.✅ Use identity-based coaching — “Who do you want to be?” helps kids self-correct and choose maturity.✅ Build self-awareness on purpose — asking “How does that make you feel?” trains kids to notice bitterness vs. connection.✅ Separate together, not alone — when a child can't calm down, you don't banish them… you co-regulate and help them reset.✅ Hold hard boundaries on big domino behaviors — name-calling, insulting, and aggression must stop because they poison family culture.✅ Use natural consequences that teach — consequences should be connected, agreed on (when possible), and strong enough to create change.Memorable Quotes:

Sabia que aquest lloc tindria importància per a nosaltres —va respondre Laia, mantenint el seu to pragmàtic.En: “You're welcome, Martí. I knew this place would be important for us,” Laia responded, maintaining her pragmatic tone.Ca: Van caminar junts pels senderons emblanquinats, els seus passos ressonant suaus entre el murmuri de les muntanyes.En: They walked together along the snow-laden paths, their steps softly echoing among the murmurs of the mountains.Ca: Havia nevant recentment, deixant un paisatge digne d'un quadre.En: It had snowed recently, leaving a landscape fit for a painting.Ca: Finalment, van arribar a la capella del monestir, un lloc on moltes famílies cercaven pau i reflexió, i on els records dels seus pares eren més vius que mai.En: Finally, they reached the chapel of the monastery, a place where many families sought peace and reflection, and where the memories of their parents were more alive than ever.Ca: —Recordes com ens portaven aquí cada Nadal? —va mencionar Martí, amb els ulls brillants de nostàlgia.En: “Do you remember how they brought us here every Christmas?” Martí mentioned, his eyes shining with nostalgia.Ca: —Sí, ho recordo bé. Els pares sempre deien que Montserrat era un lloc especial, un lloc de miracles —va respondre Laia, deixant caure qualsevol escut emocional.En: “Yes, I remember it well. Our parents always said that Montserrat was a special place, a place of miracles,” Laia replied, letting go of any emotional shield.Ca: Un silenci càlid es va establir entre els dos.En: A warm silence settled between the two.Ca: La capella era plena de figures de pessebre, la llum d'espelmes dansava en les ombres.En: The chapel was full of nativity figures, the candlelight dancing in the shadows.Ca: De sobte, les velles ferides van emergir en la conversa.En: Suddenly, old wounds emerged in the conversation.Ca: Martí va parlar de la seva tristesa per la seva llunyania; Laia va expressar els seus sentiments de pèrdua per la família desunida.En: Martí spoke of his sadness over their distance; Laia expressed her feelings of loss for the fractured family.Ca: Era un moment tens, marcat per barreres emocionals que semblaven impossibles de traspassar.En: It was a tense moment, marked by emotional barriers that seemed impossible to cross.Ca: Però aleshores, de manera inesperada, una imatge del passat va aparèixer vividament en les seves ments: una excursió amb els seus pares a la muntanya, la calidesa d'aquells moments preciosos.En: But then, unexpectedly, an image from the past vividly appeared in their minds: a hike with their parents on the mountain, the warmth of those precious moments.Ca: Sense saber com, una comprensió mútua nació.En: Without knowing how, a mutual understanding was born.Ca: Les màscares es van caure i, amb elles, les tensions.En: The masks fell away, and with them, the tensions.Ca: Lentament, les seves converses van començar a fluir lliure de recriminacions, plenes de promeses i esperances de futur.En: Slowly, their conversations began to flow free of recriminations, full of promises and hopes for the future.Ca: —Vull que ens veiem més sovint —va dir Martí, amb un somriure autèntic.En: “I want us to see each other more often,” Martí said with an authentic smile.Ca: —Jo també. No podem deixar que el passat dicti el nostre futur —va respondre Laia, disposada a reconstruir el vincle trencat.En: “So do I. We can't let the past dictate our future,” Laia replied, ready to rebuild the broken bond.Ca: Quan la nit va caure sobre Montserrat, les campanes del monestir van ressonar novament, com un senyal de renovació i esperança.En: As night fell over Montserrat, the bells of the monastery rang again, like a sign of renewal and hope.Ca: Martí i Laia es van quedar una estona més, disfrutant la tranquil·litat i la bellesa del moment, amb la promesa de conservar el seu llegat familiar i construir nous records junts.En: Martí and Laia stayed a while longer, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment, with the promise to preserve their family legacy and create new memories together.Ca: Va ser en aquell lloc sagrat, envoltats de la lenta caiguda de la neu, on Martí i Laia van trobar una nova oportunitat per ser germans, per ser una família de nou.En: It was in that sacred place, surrounded by the slow falling snow, where Martí and Laia found a new opportunity to be siblings, to be a family again.Ca: Per Nadal, la màgia de Montserrat havia fet un altre miracle.En: For Christmas, the magic of Montserrat had performed another miracle.Ca: I amb l'esperit renovat, van deixar enrere la distància i les malinterpretacions.En: And with renewed spirit, they left behind the distance and misunderstandings.Ca: L'amor fraternal va brillar una vegada més, fent d'aquella Nit de Nadal una que mai oblidarien.En: Brotherly love shone once more, making that Christmas Eve one they would never forget.

Episode 98: Lawrence. Clyde and Gracie Lawrence join me for a rare conversation, and for the first time ever, they're joined by their little brother Linus, who collaborated on the arrangement that earned Lawrence a Grammy nomination this year. Lawrence has spent years building one of the most joyful and intentional sounds in modern music, and right now they're having a major moment. They're currently on Broadway as the house band for All Out: Comedy About Ambition, they're Grammy-nominated for Best Arrangement, and Gracie is coming off a standout Broadway year of her own. In addition to her Tony nomination for Just in Time, she's also Grammy-nominated for Best Musical Theater Album for the Just in Time cast recording. In this episode, we talk about the road to this chapter, how they think about arrangement and feel, what the Broadway grind is like, their family dynamic, and much more.

What if the most dangerous addiction in the world isn't drugs, alcohol, or gambling—but revenge? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dr. James Kimmel Jr., Yale School of Medicine researcher, attorney, and author of The Science of Revenge, to unpack what actually happens in our brains when we feel wronged, humiliated, or disrespected.   Dr. Kimmel breaks down the neuroscience behind revenge, why it lights up the brain the same way cocaine does, and how seeking retaliation gives us a temporary dopamine hit that ultimately leaves us worse off. We talk about anger, forgiveness, sibling rivalry, marriage conflict, parenting mistakes, and why forgiveness isn't weakness—it's one of the most powerful tools we have to reclaim peace, leadership, and self-control as men and fathers.     Timeline Summary    [0:00] Why revenge may be the most dangerous addiction in the world. [2:10] Introducing Dr. James Kimmel Jr. and his research on revenge and forgiveness. [3:02] How revenge activates the same brain circuitry as drugs like cocaine. [4:38] Dr. Kimmel's background as both a lawyer and Yale researcher. [6:33] Marriage, faith, and building a family with shared purpose over 37 years. [9:12] Advice on long-term marriage and selecting the right partner early. [13:23] Why revenge seeking escalates conflict in families and relationships. [16:17] Defining revenge as an addictive, pleasure-seeking process. [17:17] How grievances activate the brain's pain and reward systems. [21:25] Why emotional pain registers as physical pain in the brain. [23:13] Dopamine, craving, and why revenge never actually satisfies. [25:32] How the prefrontal cortex gets hijacked during revenge seeking. [28:06] Revenge cycles in marriage and intimate relationships. [31:20] Losing control: when logic shuts down during retaliation. [33:27] Larry shares a real-life road rage trigger moment. [37:39] How quickly fight-or-flight turns into revenge seeking. [39:52] Why only about 20% of people become "revenge addicted." [42:16] Differences between men and women when seeking revenge. [43:28] Why revenge plots dominate movies like John Wick and The Lion King. [47:07] Sibling rivalry and how revenge shows up between brothers. [54:23] Parenting discipline vs. revenge-driven punishment. [58:25] Why forgiveness is essential for breaking the revenge cycle.     Five Key Takeaways Revenge activates the same brain circuits as drugs and gambling, making it addictive and compulsive for some people.  Emotional wounds register as real physical pain in the brain, triggering a desire to self-medicate through retaliation.  Revenge provides temporary relief but increases anger, anxiety, and depression after the dopamine fades.  Parents can unintentionally cross the line from discipline into revenge, especially when ego and shame are triggered.  Forgiveness is not weakness—it's neuroscience. It's one of the most powerful ways to reclaim control, peace, and leadership.  Links & Resources The Science of Revenge: https://bit.ly/4q1khVd Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Podcast Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1414     Closing Remark   If this episode challenged the way you think about anger, conflict, and forgiveness, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Medical student Chuka Onuh and orthopedic surgery resident Ogechukwu Onuh discuss their article, "A sibling's guide to surviving medical school." They share lessons learned as siblings navigating medical training, focusing on the critical need to be intentional with time and avoid the "illusion of productivity." Chuka and Ogechukwu emphasize that study habits must be adaptable (like switching from Anki to practice questions for USMLE exams) and that students must learn to advocate for themselves. The conversation also explores the biggest challenge of the medical school journey: protecting your identity outside the white coat, prioritizing relationships, and building resilience to avoid burnout. Learn the habits and mindset shifts necessary to survive medical school with your sense of self intact. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: I have a friend whose 12-year-old adopted son (adopted at age 6) has been sexually abusing his younger siblings. She self-reported to CPS and law enforcement,  but they have not done a formal removal yet, and their solutions involved bringing the child back home or kinship (not an option). The offending child is currently in a temporary behavioral hospital, and a Refusal to Assume Parental Responsibility was opened on my friend because she will not pick him up, especially not until he receives specialized treatment for sexual aggression. The other children deserve a safe home to heal. Has anyone been through this before? If, after treatment, she still does not feel like it's in the children's best interest for him to return home, what are her options? Resources:Resources for Finding an Adoption-Competent TherapistGil Institute for Trauma Recovery & EducationHelping a Child Heal from Sexual AbuseSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

This week on Minimalish, I'm welcoming Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, for a conversation every toddler parent needs, especially during the holiday season. Devon brings so much clarity and compassion to the toddler years, and this episode is full of encouragement and truly helpful strategies you can start using right away. We talk about what's really going on beneath “big behaviors,” why toddlerhood is such an important developmental season, and how a lot of the work actually starts with us—our emotions, our expectations, and the environment we create. Devon also shares practical tips for everyday challenges, including navigating sibling conflict, managing screen time, prepping for busy seasons (like holidays) so you and your kids can handle transitions with more ease, and setting boundaries with family and friends in a way that protects your values. If you're craving more peace, confidence, and connection in your home—especially with little ones in the toddler stage (though the tips can span many ages of childhood)— then this episode is for you.

When we think about what shaped our life trajectory, we often focus on the way our parents raised us. But what about our siblings? What role do they play in who we become?My guest today makes the case that siblings may be just as influential as parents in impacting how we turn out.Her name is Susan Dominus, and she's a journalist and the author of The Family Dynamic: A Journey into the Mystery of Sibling Success. Susan and I start our conversation by unpacking the broader question of what drives human development more — nature or nurture. We then dig into how siblings shape us, from the impact of birth order to how rivalry can raise our ambitions and alter our life paths. Along the way, we also explore the influence parents do have on their kids — and why it may not be as strong as we often think.Connect With Susan DominusSusan's websiteSusan's faculty pageSusan at the NYTSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
