In this episode, we sit down with Liz and Tim Shea of Grow Wild Studios at their beautiful design space in Malvern PA.  This sibling duo likes to joke that they accidently started a floral studio on purpose.  Liz, the artistic arm of the operation, had been working in a traditional flower shop and found herself bristling against the unsustainable practices and imports there.  She drew her brother Tim into her budding plans to launch a studio grounded in community, sustainability and locally-sourced materials so that he could be the logistics and spreadsheet guy.  Together they've built an impressive portfolio and business model in just three short years.  They see flowers as a media for telling rich and emotional stories as well as drawing people together for supportive community.   If you'd like to get a glimpse at Grow Wild's designs, find them on Instagram @growwildstudios.   This podcast is brought to you by the Philadelphia Floral Guild, a collective of flower farms in the mid-Atlantic region selling together to florist and other wholesale buyers. We help you elevate your design work and manifest a better tomorrow with locally-grown stems.  Visit philadelphiafloralguild.com to learn more and follow us on Instagram  @phillyfloralguild for regular inspiration.  Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on what's in season, tips and tricks for design, and the latest episodes.

Vaughan Roderick looks back at interviews over the past year. Professor Elwen Evans from Universities Wales came in October, following a year of headlines on the financial challenges facing universities. Professor Kevin Morgan talked about his book, Serving the Nation, and the importance of good public food. On the 100th anniversary of the report of the Irish Border Commission, Cormac Moore discussed the redrawing of the lines that divided the young Irish Free State from Northern Ireland. Ten years after Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board first went in to special measures, current Chief Executive Carol Shillabeer explained what she was doing to try and turn the health board around. Before Lindsay Whittle went on to win the Caerphilly by-election for Plaid Cymru, Sir Deian Hopkin remembered the 1968 election when Plaid Cymru gave Labour a run for its money but ultimately didn't gain the seat in Westminster. And following the publication of her book 'Artists, Siblings, Visionaries', Judith Mackrell illustrated the effects the early death of their mother had on the lives of Welsh-born Gwen and Augustus John.

"우리 사이에 벌어진 일들을... 이해하지 못했어. 하지만... 다시 너랑 친하고 싶어."En: Minjun took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't understand what happened between us... but I want to be close with you again."Ko: 그러나 은지는 여전히 마음의 문을 쉽게 열지 않았다.En: However, Eunji still didn't easily open her heart.Ko: "왜 이제 와서?" 그녀는 물었다.En: "Why now?" she asked.Ko: "그때 전혀 신경 쓰지 않았잖아."En: "You didn't care at all back then."Ko: 민준은 잠시 망설였지만, 마음을 먹었다.En: Minjun hesitated for a moment but made up his mind.Ko: 코트를 뒤적여 오래전 쓴 편지를 꺼내들었다.En: He rummaged through his coat and took out a letter he had written long ago.Ko: "이걸... 그때 쓰고 못 줬어.En: "I wrote this... but never gave it to you.Ko: 오늘은 꼭 전하고 싶어."En: I want to give it to you today."Ko: 편지를 받아든 은지는 한참을 그 위에 눈을 고정했다.En: Eunji took the letter and fixed her gaze on it for a long time.Ko: 조용한 차 집에 시계 바늘이 움직이는 소리가 들렸다.En: In the quiet tea house, the ticking of the clock could be heard.Ko: 이제 몇 분 후면 새해였다.En: In a few minutes, it would be the New Year.Ko: 은지는 편지를 조심스럽게 뜯고, 민준은 그 옆에서 초조하게 기다렸다.En: Eunji carefully opened the letter and Minjun waited anxiously beside her.Ko: 편지를 읽는 동안 은지의 얼굴에서 조금씩 변화가 일어나기 시작했다.En: As Eunji read the letter, her face began to change little by little.Ko: 그녀의 입술이 떨리고, 눈이 살짝 붉어졌다.En: Her lips trembled, and her eyes became slightly red.Ko: 민준이 적어 내려간 진심 어린 사과와 후회가 느껴져서일 것이다.En: It must have been because she could feel the sincere apology and regret Minjun had poured into the letter.Ko: "형, 나는..." 은지는 쉬운 말을 찾지 못했다.En: "Brother, I..." Eunji struggled to find the right words.Ko: 돌아오는 새해의 경쾌한 종소리가 조용히 울려 퍼졌다.En: The cheerful sound of the New Year's bell quietly echoed.Ko: "다시 시작해볼래?" 민준이 조심스럽게 물었다.En: "Shall we start over?" Minjun asked carefully.Ko: 은지는 차갑던 얼굴에서 마음의 빙하가 녹아내리듯 미소를 지어 보였다.En: Eunji smiled, as if the glacier in her heart melted away.Ko: "그래, 다시 시작하자."En: "Yes, let's start over."Ko: 두 사람 사이에 흐르던 차갑던 바람이 언제 그랬느냐는 듯이 사라졌다.En: The cold breeze that had been blowing between them disappeared as if it was never there.Ko: 그들의 이야기는 이제 새로운 시작을 준비하고 있었다.En: Their story was now preparing for a new beginning.Ko: 차 잔에서 피어오르는 김처럼, 아르마와 따스함은 여전히 그들 사이를 감싸고 있었다.En: Like the steam rising from their teacups, warmth and comfort continued to embrace them.

What about JOY?  Do you feel the joy of the season?  Do you honestly ever experience joy or is it more like happiness or contentment.  What, if anything brings you JOY?  We talk about life happenings and the joy of real estate.  Do you have to slow down, grab a moment of peace and then feel the joy?  The Joy of the season, is intended to be felt and displayed to all of your friends, family and acquaintenances (or at lease everyone you meet).  It is elusive and hard to capture that time, that feeling that euphoria (dare we say Joy?)  Join us for the discussion.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:"When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers." This African proverb stopped me mid-scroll during a walk, and I saw my family's addiction story with some pretty painful clarity. While my ex-husband, husband and I stomped around trying to wage war on our son's substance use and high-risk lifestyle, we completely missed who was getting trampled beneath our giant, well-meaning feet.This week's raw and honest solo episode unpacks the heavyweight champion of family conflicts: parents locked in battle over how to handle their child's substance use. I reflect about missing my younger son Marco's quiet suffering (spoiler: he mastered invisibility to survive our chaos), and you'll hear how our struggling kids internalize parental discord as proof they're destroying the family. You'll hear why treating addiction like toothpaste you can force back in the tube only creates more destruction, and how shifting from head-on combat to clay-shaping might just save your entire family ecosystem. (lots of metaphors in this week's show!)Fortunately, the Invitation to Change Approach offers a roadmap for stepping more carefully through crisis - because your other children, parents, friends, and even your struggling child deserve better than getting flattened while you fight about tough love versus cushioning falls.What you'll learn:Why siblings of struggling kids often perfect the art of being "not as bad" - and the long-term cost of that survival strategyHow late-night battles between parents may send dangerous "I'm the problem" messages to your struggling childThe critical shift from manager to consultant when your child hits adulthood (and why this transition can spark explosive co-parenting conflicts)Why approaching addiction like malleable clay instead of a winnable war creates healing space for everyoneSpecific ways to acknowledge and tend to the "trampled grass" in your family this weekEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream podcast episode with Marco Narcsio, (#70)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Hegedus, Certified Financial Planner and founding partner of PWM Private Wealth Counsel, for a practical conversation about how to align vision with siblings and/or spouses when there's lots of disagreement. Kevin brings years of experience helping farm owners and families sort through the financial intricacies and reach retirement confidently. Together, we explore misalignment between spouses' vision for retirement and transition timing, and the value of early planning and using tools for transition. We discuss the 3 key farm transition snapshot points; the difference between equal vs. fair inheritance; and the importance of family meetings, celebrations, and communication.

The "Holidays" can mean so much to so many people.  Whether based on your personal beliefs, religious upbringing, or just the "Feelin' of the Season", it is IMPOSSIBLE to not have some emotions related to this time of year.  For a special 4 part holiday series, Eric and Donna, relate the candles of the Christmas Advent Wreath to Real Estate and buyer and seller expectations.  To the Season itself, and Eric shares some special perspectives based on his Holiday appearances and performances as Santa, Jolly old Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, Papa Noel, Father Christmas and more. As a reminder, 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.

Today on High Performance Parenting, Greg sits down with two of his youngest entrepreneurs — Elli (age 9) and Huntter (age 7) — for a fun and powerful conversation about raising kids who create, lead, and step into their God-given purpose.Ellie shares how she launched her own all-natural lotion business, researched ingredients, built a business plan, learned profit margins, and sold nearly $700 this year — all while juggling school, sports, and family life.You'll hear:How kids can start simple businesses at any ageWhy creativity + curiosity matter more than perfectionThe importance of letting kids try, fail, adjust, and try againHow siblings can support each other instead of competeWhy teaching entrepreneurship is really teaching leadership and faithThe value of learning communication and confidence earlyHow family support creates a launching pad for kids' dreamsThis episode is joyful, practical, and packed with wisdom every parent needs.

It's our 52nd episode (WHAT?!?)—and our last one of 2025.In this episode, we check in from two very different places: Jill is finally seeing the light at the end of her solo-parenting tunnel, while Holly is just stepping into hers (again). They recap Thanksgiving, debate holiday cards (to send or not to send… also, who cares?), unpack Christmas villages, and revisit family trauma from the HomeGoods parking lot. Most importantly, they talk about what it's like to do the holidays differently since losing their brother Adam.They get into Shakoor guilt™️, being away from family during the holidays, and how traditions shift when life doesn't look the way it used to.And with that… wheels up, 2025. You've Got Mail Zabar's scene 50% off at Shutterfly!!!!.... just kidding, it actually takes you to our website which is really cute

Purple Pants Podcast: December 2025 Premonitions | Signs, Not Setbacks This month's Purple Pants Premonitions arrives a little later than usual — and that timing is very much part of the message. Brice Izyah and Gary (@gangstagurry) tap in mid-month to reflect on the turbulence of 2025 so far, unpacking how disruption, pressure, and unexpected shifts have also brought undeniable growth. The conversation centers on alignment — not just where you are, but why you're there. Gary pulls the Siblings of Lanterns card, sparking a deeper question that echoes throughout the episode: is what you're experiencing part of your design, or a sign that you've drifted out of alignment? Together, they explore how clarity, community, and inner truth can act as lanterns when the path feels uncertain. This episode isn't about predictions for the sake of prophecy — it's about recalibration. About recognizing when resistance is a lesson, when discomfort is an invitation, and when growth asks you to choose differently. If 2025 has felt heavy but meaningful, chaotic yet revealing, this Premonitions session meets you right where you are.

When The Mama's Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn't even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver's licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don't stay kids forever.Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you're not alone in this season.Follow The Mama's Den on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themamasdenpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

S7 E5: The Negative Impact of HazingIn this episode, we are hoping to shine a light on the topic of hazing with an expert on the topic, University of Maine researcher and professor, Dr. Elizabeth Allan. In this very nuanced discussion, we aim to bring the experience of hazing to the surface. We will discuss the nature of hazing, the historical context of hazing, psychological factors that contribute to hazing and being hazed, consequences of hazing, and the way in which colleges and individuals can address hazing on their campus.Dr. Elizabeth Allan is professor of higher education at the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development, where she also directs the Hazing Prevention Research Lab. In addition, she is the founder and principal of StopHazing (StopHazing.org), a research group working on developing evidence-based, research-to-practice hazing prevention programs and initiatives. Allan's research focuses on campus cultures and climates, including studies on classroom teaching, campus diversity and equity in addition to student hazing and its prevention. She is the author of two books, co-editor of a third, and has authored or co-authored more than 40 research-based articles and book chapters.Be curious. Be Open.

Life doesn't give you a map for the moments that matter most - birth, loss, and everything in between. So when Jill had Luca, she called in a professional: postpartum doula and all-around force, Laura Veras. While the term "doula" tends to get thrown around a lot (especially in LA), Laura is special. Her journey to becoming a postpartum healer came at a time in her life when death and birth collided. She brings generational Guatemalan wisdom, serious newborn expertise, and a work ethic that doesn't clock out. She helped Jill survive those first weeks — not because parenting needs to be precious, but because nobody should have to go through a major life transition alone.Connect with Laura Veras Connect with US

If you have more than one child (or plan to), this might be one of the most clarifying episodes you ever listen to.Inside this episode: Why kids compete… why they fight over nothing… why your nervous system spirals in the cross-fire… and the realistic brain-based tools parents can use to survive those hot-cold sibling dynamics without losing themselves.What We Cover1. Why Sibling Rivalry Is NormalKids don't choose their siblings. They don't choose their living arrangement. And unlike adult relationships, they can't leave or create space.Jon unpacks why built-in competition, developmental limitations, and underdeveloped emotional regulation make conflict inevitable—and why none of this means anything is “wrong” with your family.2. Regulating Your Nervous System FirstListener Question: “How do I stay calm when their chaos instantly spikes my anxiety?” Jon explains:Why your body responds like it's an emergencyWhy entering the conflict dysregulated makes the conflict worseThe power of taking 30–40 seconds before jumping inQuick grounding tools (breathing, sensory checks, tapping, internal scripts like “I'm safe, they're safe, this is not an emergency”)How your energy sets the emotional temperature of the room This is one of those “if you remember nothing else, remember this” moments.3. Opposite Temperaments & Constant ClashingListener Question: “One kid is sensitive, one is impulsive—they constantly trigger each other. How do I help them get along?”Jon dives into:The difference between describing temperament vs prescribing itWhy comparison creates competitionWhy kids don't need fewer shared moments—they need more positive momentsHow to create “positive association loops” in the sibling relationshipWhat it means to aim for 51% positive interactionsThis is less about fixing fights and more about building a foundation for lifelong friendship.4. Sharing Without MeltdownsListener Question: “Both of my kids fight over everything—even stuff they didn't care about five minutes ago.”Jon covers:Why sharing is developmentally unnaturalWhy kids experience loss aversion when giving something upThe game-changing strategy: Every child gets a small box of “non-sharing” items. Everything else becomes community property.Why this instantly calms power strugglesHow to use quick “attention flips” to reduce sharing meltdowns in the momentAnd how to speak self-fulfilling prophecies: “You're such a good sharer.”Big TakeawaysYour calm nervous system is more powerful than any script.Siblings don't need perfect harmony—they need repetition of positive experiences.Sharing starts with autonomy, not forced generosity.You're not trying to prevent every fight. You're playing the long game—raising adults who can have a lifelong relationship with each other.If This Episode Helped You…
