Susan Dominus, New York Times Magazine staff writer and the author of The Family Dynamic: A Journey Into the Mystery of Sibling Success (Crown, 2025), talks about how siblings - especially in high-achieving families - influence each other almost as much as, or maybe more than, their parents.
In this revealing conversation, freelance journalist and former coach Linda Flanagan describes how youth sports have transformed from neighborhood fun into a $30 billion industry that's reshaping American families. Drawing from her book "Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports and Why It Matters," Flanagan explores the cultural shifts since the 1970s that have turned children's athletics into high-stakes enterprises demanding extraordinary parental sacrifice.The Parental Pressure Paradox* Parents now spend an average of 202 minutes (over 3 hours) daily on their children's athletics* 36% of families reduce family vacations and struggle to save money due to sports expensesThe College Myth * Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college, and just 2% of these receive any athletic scholarship money.Red Flags to Watch For in Youth Sports* Family life revolving entirely around one child's sports schedule* Siblings feeling resentful or left behind* Parents' emotional wellbeing tied to their child's athletic performance* Pressure to specialize in one sport before adolescence* Sacrificing family relationships, activities, friendships, and personal interestsFlanagan's controversial but liberating advice: "Flee the bleachers at the middle school gym, skip the tournament at school across town, resuscitate your own interests and relationships instead."This isn't about not caring for your children—it's about showing them that:* Their activities belong to them, not you* Adult life has purpose and joy beyond child-serving* Independence and resilience are valuable life skills* Your wellbeing matters tooThe Bottom LineYouth sports can be wonderful for children when kept in proper perspective. The key is resisting cultural pressures that turn childhood athletics into family-consuming enterprises. By maintaining balance, protecting family relationships, and modeling fulfilling adult lives, parents can help their children enjoy sports without sacrificing everything else that makes life meaningful.Website: lindaflanaganauthor.comResources Mentioned* "Take Back the Game" by Linda Flanagan* Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program research* Beyond Stigma Documentary on Women in Collegiate SportsThanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!

“It’s really hard to be happier than your unhappiest child.” When one child is battling mental health challenges, the whole family feels the weight. In this heartfelt episode, Justin and Kylie answer a powerful question from a mum of four: How do I help my younger kids cope as their older brother struggles with depression? This episode is a must-listen for families navigating the emotional ripple effects of mental health struggles. With deep compassion and practical insight, the Coulsons explore how parents can support siblings through confusion, grief, and change—without losing themselves in the process. KEY POINTS: Acknowledge the Grief: Siblings often feel like they’ve “lost” their brother—even though he’s still physically there. Challenge Unhelpful Stories: Gently correct thoughts like “It’s my fault” or “He doesn’t love me anymore.” Explain Simply & Honestly: Offer age-appropriate explanations without going into detail or glossing over pain. Give Permission to Feel Joy: Let siblings know they don’t have to walk on eggshells or suppress happiness. Empower Them to Help: Involve siblings in small, non-burdensome acts of kindness to build connection and hope. Reinforce Connection: Help your struggling child feel included without pressure or guilt. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “No matter how angry you are, no matter how sad you are, our love for you is bigger than what you're feeling right now.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: HappyFamilies.com.au – for parenting support and podcast submissions. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Talk About It: Start a family conversation that names the reality and reassures: “This isn’t about you. This is something your brother is going through. And we’re in it together.” Model Calm Love: Your children are watching how you respond. Demonstrating patience and compassion teaches them resilience and loyalty. Create Joyful Moments: Take siblings out of the house for fun, connection, and relief from emotional tension. Invite Micro-Acts of Connection: Encourage simple, no-pressure gestures like watching a movie together or sharing a meme. Build Your Village: As a parent, find someone to support you—you don’t have to carry this alone. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lluís said, trying to spark his sister's curiosity.Ca: Però Marta només assentia amb un somriure forçat, pensant en els concerts i les fogueres que l'esperaven més tard.En: But Marta only nodded with a forced smile, thinking about the concerts and bonfires that awaited her later.Ca: En un moment de desesperació creativa, Lluís va decidir explicar-li una antiga llegenda.En: In a moment of creative desperation, Lluís decided to tell her an ancient legend.Ca: "Diuen que en algun lloc aquí amagat, hi ha un tresor deixat per cavallers fa molt temps.En: "They say that somewhere hidden here, there's a treasure left by knights long ago.Ca: Però només es revela a aquells que tenen llaços forts i sincers." Va fer una pausa, mirant de reüll a Marta, esperant una reacció.En: But it's only revealed to those with strong and sincere bonds." He paused, glancing sideways at Marta, hoping for a reaction.Ca: Marta va aturar-se, una mica escèptica, però les seves paraules la van intrigar.En: Marta stopped, a bit skeptical, but his words intrigued her.Ca: “D'acord, Lluís.En: "Okay, Lluís.Ca: Anem a buscar-lo, però si no trobem res...” va començar a replicar, però ell ja somreia, content pel canvi d'actitud.En: Let's go look for it, but if we don't find anything..." she began to reply, but he was already smiling, pleased by the change in attitude.Ca: Van arribar a una sendera poc coneguda, lluny dels grups de turistes.En: They arrived at a little-known path, far from the tourist groups.Ca: Les pedres del camí estaven cobertes de molsa i el silenci només era trencat pel cant dels ocells.En: The stones of the path were covered in moss, and the silence was only broken by the birds' song.Ca: De sobte, Marta va notar una petita esquerda a la paret rocosa.En: Suddenly, Marta noticed a small crack in the rocky wall.Ca: Curiosa, es va apropar i va descobrir una petita entrada.En: Curious, she approached and discovered a small entrance.Ca: Els dos germans van entrar amb precaució i van trobar una sala amagada.En: The two siblings entered cautiously and found a hidden room.Ca: Al final, un gran espill reflectia les seves imatges.En: At the end, a large mirror reflected their images.Ca: Marta el va mirar i, somrient, va entendre què volia dir aquell retrobament inesperat.En: Marta looked at it and, smiling, understood what that unexpected meeting meant.Ca: "Potser aquest és el nostre tresor," va dir Marta suaument, sentint una nova connexió amb Lluís.En: "Maybe this is our treasure," Marta said softly, feeling a new connection with Lluís.Ca: Ell, encantat, va abraçar-la, satisfet d'haver compartit aquest moment especial.En: He, delighted, embraced her, satisfied to have shared this special moment.Ca: Quan van sortir de l'habitació secreta, la llum del sol era més brillant i el món semblava tenir uns colors més vius.En: When they exited the secret room, the sunlight was brighter and the world seemed to have more vivid colors.Ca: Marta, reconfortada, va començar a preguntar més sobre les històries que tant fascinaven el seu germà.En: Reassured, Marta began to ask more about the stories that so fascinated her brother.Ca: Lluís, amb paciència renovada, es va comprometre a presentar-li la història d'una forma més viva i imaginativa.En: Lluís, with renewed patience, promised to introduce her to history in a more lively and imaginative way.Ca: Junts, van tornar al cor del monestir, transformats per una experiència única, amb lligams reforçats, preparats per gaudir del Sant Joan amb noves perspectives i un afecte redescobert.En: Together, they returned to the heart of the monastery, transformed by a unique experience, with strengthened bonds, ready to enjoy Sant Joan with new perspectives and a rediscovered affection.

Plus, a sister's strict laundry rule comes back to mildew-scented bite her, and a micromanaging boss gets buried in their own paperwork.

Poetry, as Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.And so, off we go, to try and defamiliarise the things which stare us in the face every blummin' day. Relationships. Words. Coffee. Social Media. Prejudice. Siblings. Aging. Home. Industrial Estates. Nature. Sex. Love. Yep. We're off to a poetry night, aren't we? To find out what they're all about. Who goes to them. What the poetry is like, and whether it's something every writer should have a go at.Poetry Jam in Durham to be precise. Wish us luck!

This can be especially true for issues tied to our families of origin. We might be 14, 40 or 80 but when those old dynamics are triggered, we can be right back where we were as a kid, being shamed, scared, alone and we revert back to old coping behaviors. In this episode, we talk through where we are with our families of origin and how it has (or hasn't changed) in the last 20 years.

We're kicking off our Sibling Series with a powerful and heartfelt conversation with sisters Caroline and Natalie DeJean. You might remember Caroline from a past episode (celebrity stylist, cool girl, song-of-summer expert), and today she's joined by her younger sister Natalie as they open up about the loss of their mom, Miss Liz, seven years ago. This episode dives into all the complexities surrounding grief. How siblings can experience the same loss in totally different ways, and how layered family dynamics, including divorce and emotional distance, can shape the grieving process. Caroline and Natalie reflect on where their relationship stood with their mom at the time of her passing, and how they've each made peace with that in their own way. We also get into some classic sibling rivalry, the evolving bond between sisters, and — of course — our annual Song of Summer debate. It's messy, moving, and filled with moments that'll make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even call your sibling afterward.Connect with Caroline on Insta Connect with Natalie on InstaConnect with Holly on InstaConnect with Jill on InstaSong of Summer (according to Spotify)

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. — Proverbs 17:17 Ever since I was born, my brother has been by my side. As kids, we walked to school together, and when we moved to the Chicago area, we had each other's backs. I'll never forget when I was in second grade and the bus driver dropped us at the wrong stop for our first day at a new school. I was sure we'd never find our way home, but my brother stayed calm. He found someone trustworthy, and we made it home safely. He's always been there for me, especially in tough times. He's defended me in fights, and although we've had our share of arguments, I can always count on him. My younger sister has also stood by me, especially when I was a single dad with young sons, lost and overwhelmed. She was “in it” with us, and we were blessed by her presence. The Bible shares stories about siblings—some who were rivals, others who were deeply loyal. Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” I thank God for my brother and sister, who have been with me through it all. Do you have siblings? A friend who's like family? Take a moment to thank the Lord for the gift of those who stand by your side. Father, thank you for the gift of siblings, who walk alongside us through life's joys and challenges. Bless our relationships with love, patience, and understanding, reflecting the unity and grace you have shown us. Amen.
Deep Dive: Australia’s Health Ministers have now ordered a “rapid review” of our IVF industry after two recent embryo bungles involving Monash IVF. In this episode of The Briefing Natarsha Belling is joined by Katherine Dawson, who was conceived via a sperm donor and then found out she has at least 700 half-siblings. He donated sperm at various clinics across the country using different names.

A simple definition of Eminent Domain is when the Government uses its power to acquire or seize private property. This may be like land or a house with the intent to use that property for something that helps the public. Compensation (that means money) is offered but what could be long some of the lasting impacts to the seller? Current market value does not necessarily equate to long term appreciate or loss of value on remaing value to private property. That is what the Real Siblings discuss on their latest episode. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

In this deeply emotional and inspiring conversation, Siporah Sassoon shares her harrowing story of surviving a tragic house fire that claimed the lives of her seven siblings. She opens up about the trauma, the long road to physical and emotional recovery, and how her unwavering faith in Hashem has carried her through the darkest of times. A decade has passed since a tragic house fire ripped through Sipora Sassoon's home in Brooklyn, claiming the lives of her seven siblings. Sipora survived—but not easily. She was hospitalized with severe burns covering nearly half of her body, and at one point “didn't know her siblings were gone” as she fought to recover. In this deeply poignant episode, Siporah revisits the night of the fire: She shares what she remembers of waking from smoke-choked darkness. She describes waking up in a hospital burn unit, relearning to breathe and walk—and how, at first, she didn't understand the full extent of her loss . Siporah speaks with incredible honesty and strength about grief, healing, survivor's guilt, resilience, and rediscovering joy. She reflects on her siblings' lives, her relationship with Hashem before and after the tragedy, and the message she wants to carry forward in their memory. This episode is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the depth of Jewish faith You can reach out to Siporah via email: Siporahsassoon@gmail.com This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ►Blooms Kosher Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide. https://bloomskosher.com ____________________________________________________ ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again! https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp _____________________________________________________ ► Toveedo Visit- www.toveedo.com Use Promo Code MM10 for 10% off! __________________________________________________ ► Superior CS Group Looking to cut overhead and boost productivity without sacrificing quality?
