The pressure to be endlessly happy is leaving the next generation more anxious and isolated than ever. In his new book, The Happiness Crisis: How Adversity Can Build a Resilient and Joyful Next Generation, Dr. Jonathan Eckert calls for a culture shift that we can begin at home. How do we embrace adversity and see the value of challenges, instead of becoming parents who make everything too easy? Dr. Eckert explains the biblical connection between joy and struggle, and why removing adversity — "snowplow parenting" — prevents kids from developing resilience. Arlene and Jon work through real-life scenarios, including a child facing bullying and a teen caught using AI to cheat on a school assignment. The conversation closes with practical steps for helping kids rediscover purpose and joy through community and faith. Dr. Jonathan Eckert is a former middle school teacher and basketball coach who worked in the Bush and Obama Department of Education. He has a PhD from Vanderbilt, and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Baylor Center for School Leadership. 02:35 Why the pursuit of happiness backfires 03:29 How phones and comparison fuel kids' unhappiness 04:57 Snowplow parents vs. building "muscles around the backbone" 09:15 Roleplay: what to say when a kid is bullied at school 14:40 Roleplay: when a teen gets caught using AI to cheat 21:18 My teacher story: destructive vs. productive struggle 28:17 The "man in the arena" quote and the ABCs of joy Connect with Dr. Jonathan Eckert at jonathaneckert.org or on Linkedin.

Send us an email @ info@parentcoachesunleashed.com SummaryMost parents drift into snowplow parenting without even realizing it — but the consequences can be far more damaging than you think. In this eye-opening episode, Lesley Koeppel, psychotherapist sits down for an intimate discussion with Carrie and Jessica to reveal how well-intentioned overparenting—like clearing every obstacle and rescuing at every turn—can cripple your child's confidence, independence, and resilience for years to come.Lesley explains the subtle signs that you might be crossing the line from supportive to controlling, starting from infancy all the way into young adulthood. You'll discover how helicopter versus lighthouse parenting shapes your child's ability to navigate challenges, and why snowplow parenting can prevent them from experiencing valuable lessons that only failure and frustration can teach. We break down how these patterns show up in everyday life, from managing homework stress to handling college setbacks, and even the traits of children who struggle to launch into independence.We explore the roots of overparenting—it's often driven by parental anxiety and fear of failure—stemming from our own childhood or the constant comparison culture fueled by social media. Lesley shares actionable tools to recognize when you're stepping into overly protective territory, like the powerful "Do not do for your child what they can do themselves" mantra. You'll learn practical phrases and strategies to foster autonomy, from giving your child choices to having honest conversations about their readiness and competence.If you're worried that your over-involvement might be doing more harm than good, this episode is your wake-up call. Learn how unlearning these habits can help your kids develop grit, patience, and self-reliance—skills critical for their success and happiness in an unpredictable world. Perfect for parents of infants, elementary, middle schoolers, and beyond, this episode offers hope and hopefulness that change is possible—no matter where you are on the parenting journey.Whether you're a parent feeling overwhelmed by your child's struggles or simply want to prevent future pitfalls, Lesley's insights will inspire you to step back and trust the process. Because ultimately, giving your children space to fall, fail, and figure things out is the most loving and powerful gift you can offer.To connect with Lesley Koeppel and get personalized coaching tools, visit her on Instagram at ask.lesley. Remember, change begins with awareness—and these small shifts can lead to monumental growth for both you and your child.

A daily comedy podcast where snowplows get shot, mommy farts save mental health, and modern dating officially makes no sense. Some shows ease you into the morning. The Rizzuto Show does Relationship Advice and kicks the door in with a story about someone firing a gun at a snowplow in Missouri — because apparently road rage now includes winter infrastructure. From there, things only get more educational… and by educational we mean learning that Harvard researchers say mommy farts might actually help regulate postpartum depression. Yes, really. Science is wild.This daily comedy show then takes a hard left turn into the disaster zone known as modern dating. Scott attempts to convince the room — and the audience — that saying “you enchant me” is a sexy, timeless compliment and not something said by a haunted Victorian doll. Spoiler alert: it does not go well. The crew debates whether romance is dead, whether dating apps ruined everything, and why Gen Z is now “vibe dating,” which sounds suspiciously like how humans used to meet before algorithms ruined love.From concerts and sporting events to rodeos, demolition derbies, and even Lowe's, the gang breaks down where people actually meet in real life — complete with horrifying throwback stories involving horse poop and missed romantic opportunities that still haunt them decades later. They also dive into why phone calls are extinct, why rom-coms lied to us, and whether knowing too much about someone upfront kills the magic entirely.This daily comedy show somehow manages to mix weird news, relationship talk, science, and pure nonsense into one long, hilarious spiral that feels exactly like hanging out with friends who should absolutely not be giving dating advice — but you're glad they are.If you want laughs, chaos, and a reminder that dating has always been messy (just with fewer apps and more horse crap), this episode delivers.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowMore from the show → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear it live: 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio | St. Louis, MOShots fired at Parkville snowplow in road rage attack New moms' farts may help with postpartum depression'Vibe Dating' Is Gen Z's New Compatibility Test.
