This week we're discussing Courage to Let Your Kids See You Struggle. Somewhere along the way, most solo parents develop a kind of silent rule: handle the hard things before you walk into the room. Clean up before they see you. Keep your voice steady even when your heart isn't. It comes from love. But it also comes from fear, and it's worth asking whether the wall you've built to protect them might also be keeping them from something they really need. Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, take a close and honest look at something every solo parent wrestles with: how much of your struggle do you actually let your kids see? They get practical, they get real, and they name the difference between protecting your kids and isolating them from a version of you that could actually draw you closer. Key Insights from this episode: Struggle is something you can model, not just survive - Kids learn resilience by watching adults navigate hard things, not by watching them perform composure. The space between hiding and dumping is where real connection lives - Honest, age-appropriate moments, done without making your kids responsible for what you're carrying, teach them how to handle hard things too. Vulnerability, done with intention, builds the trust that nothing else can - When you let them in a little, they let you in too, and that mutual trust becomes the foundation of a relationship that holds.

Hidden dynamics of anti-colonialism come to light when exploring the Syrian revolt of 1925 through a transnational lens. Associate Professor & Author Reem Bailony shares insights from her book, examining how the diaspora politics of the Syrian migrant community in the US connected to homeland politics and redefined identity during the French mandate. By centering on the often-overlooked diasporic story and the role of the Arabic press, the conversation unpacks the intense debate around the rebellion's virtues, goals, and shifting meanings. Ultimately, this episode reveals how exiled and migrant figures significantly shaped the international discourse surrounding the modern Middle East.   00:00 Introduction 00:52 Formative Academic Encounters with a Milestone Year 04:36 From Imperial Collapse to the Partitioning of a Region 07:30 Fragmented Visions & the Contested Landscape of Identity 10:08 Archival Discoveries & Cross-Generational Reflections 12:34 The Global Power of a Dispersed Press 16:13 The Mechanics of Petitioning an International Order 20:12 Ideological Divides in the Early Arabic Press 22:26 Mapping the Global Hubs of the Transnational Story 24:28 Borderland Crises & the Politics of Transnational Aid 28:32 The Realities of Local Support 33:35 De Facto Diplomacy & the Pen of an Exile 36:34 Petitions, Surveillance, & the Struggle to Define a Diaspora 46:44 Recommended Readings for Closer Investigation   Reem Bailony is an Associate Professor of History at Agnes Scott College.

Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________  #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________  Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

My instinct, when one of my kids is struggling, is to solve it, save them from it, or to worry about it so intensely that the worrying becomes consuming. These instincts are natural because I love my kids so much, and I hate to see them in pain. But they also don't work, at least not very effectively. Our children need to experience hard things in order to grow, and the most useful thing I can do, as their mom, is to walk beside them, listen to their big emotions, and help them find resources. It doesn't come as instinctually because it's a slower process, but it's what they really need when they're going through something hard. This is the sixth and final episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Support Their Struggles, and I picked that verb over solve, or save, or shame, because supporting means being with your child in the hard thing rather than lifting them out of it. In this episode, you'll hear:

Kristeva Dowling is an international award-winning mead maker, author, entrepreneur, and certified carnivore coach from Alberta, Canada. After years of struggling with severe rosacea that resembled cystic acne, IBS, chronic constipation, and 13 years of recurring breast lumps that led to repeated biopsies and constant monitoring, she transformed her health through a ketogenic, then carnivore, way of eating. Today, those symptoms have completely resolved. As the founder of Stolen Harvest Meadery and author of Chicken Poop for the Soul: In Search of Food Sovereignty, Kristeva is passionate about food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, and helping people rediscover metabolic health through real food. Most recently, she founded Tallow & Crumb, the world's first animal-based cookie company, creating baking mixes made with nutrient-dense ingredients like whole milk powder, collagen, and gelatin to give the carnivore and animal-based community a genuinely satisfying alternative to ultra-processed "health" foods. Her work sits at the intersection of farming, fermentation, entrepreneurship, and ancestral nutrition, offering a practical perspective on healing, resilience, and challenging conventional wisdom.

In recent weeks conservative social media has been aflurry debating that nebulous phrase, the Common Good. Does the New Right have a monopoly on the concept of the common good? If we can agree on the common good, does that alone grant us the political authority to impose it? What is the relationship between liberty and the common good? Saving Elephants welcomes two guests to set the record straight for good and all. Dan Hugger, Editorial and Research Fellow and the Host of Acton Line Podcast at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty. He writes and speaks on questions of education, history, political economy, and religion, and is the editor of two books: Lord Acton: Historical and Moral Essays and The Humane Economist: A Wilhelm Röpke Reader. Andy Smarick is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, where his work focuses on education, civil society, and the principles of American conservatism. Smarick has authored or edited four books: The Urban School System of the Future: Applying the Principles and Lessons of Chartering (2012); Closing America's High-achievement Gap: A Wise Giver's Guide to Helping Our Most Talented Students Reach Their Full Potential (2013); Catholic School Renaissance: A Wise Giver's Guide to Strengthening a National Asset (2015); and No Longer Forgotten: The Triumphs and Struggles of Rural Education in America (2018). His work has also been published in outlets such as The Atlantic, Washington Post, Education Week, among others.

This week, I'm thrilled to have Brett back on the podcast for a conversation that hit home in all the best ways. After a recent sacrament talk, Brett shares how a familiar scripture teaching—"ask and ye shall receive"—shifted for him when he applied it beyond his usual worries about jobs and finances, and instead looked inward at his ongoing struggles with anxiety and mental health. What happens when you actually hand over every struggle—including the ones that feel permanent—to Christ, and decide to trust Him completely? Brett's experience might just change the way you approach your daily battles.We dig into how acting in faith looks different when you genuinely believe Christ "has you," from journaling and reminder lists to an entirely new sense of peace that can come with this surrender. Along the way, we wrestle with questions about aligning our will to God's, navigating scrupulosity, and the parable of the talents: what does a five-talent servant really feel like? If you've ever wondered what you're still not asking for—or how to systemize your own spiritual reminders—you'll want to be part of this week's discussion.I'd love to hear: what are you carrying on your own that you could hand over to Christ? And in what ways are you scratching the surface of what's possible when you live the gospel with both faith and surrender?Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

To work with me, go to https://join.cathyheller.com/ What if the same qualities that helped you become successful are making it harder to receive the relationship you actually want? In this episode of Everything Is Energy, Cathy sits down with relationship coach Joel Monteleone for a deeply personal conversation about high-achieving women, hyper-independence, trust, dating, and what healthy masculine and feminine dynamics actually look like in a real relationship. Joel explains why successful women can accidentally approach dating the same way they approach work: analyzing the problem, trying to figure out what they're doing wrong, and looking for the perfect solution. But connection often asks for something very different. It asks us to be present, honest, playful, and willing to let another person actually know us. Cathy opens up about how her own experiences taught her to associate independence with safety, why receiving a huge gesture of love from her former husband once made her panic, and the realization that letting another person take care of you creates intimacy because it requires trust. They also talk about the stories we inherit about men and relationships, why our interpretation of an experience is not always the same as what actually happened, and how taking responsibility for your patterns is different from blaming yourself. Joel and Cathy unpack the current conversation around “masculine men,” feminine energy, and the soft girl era, and why a healthy relationship is less about performing rigid roles and more about creating a dynamic where both people can lead, support, give, and receive. This episode is for you if you're successful in so many areas of your life but relationships still feel harder than they should, you find yourself overthinking dating, you struggle to let people take care of you, or you're ready to create more trust and intimacy without becoming less powerful.

I'm opening the 2023 time capsule — the year I had a newborn who wouldn't sleep, a body that wouldn't cooperate, and a podcast that hit a wall. I called it my survival year. But amid the exhaustion, I found gardening, sourdough, and a community that reminded me being present is being productive. I'm also sharing the conversations that carried me through — Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife on self-expansion and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi on choosing joy when happiness isn't available — plus the hard truth that I paid to work that year and what it forced me to face about the future of About Progress.

When raising or teaching gifted, twice-exceptional, and differently wired children, adults often face the emotional whiplash of asynchronous development. A child might engage in deep, high-level discussions one moment, only to struggle with basic emotional regulation, task initiation, or practical organization the next. Colleen Kessler, an educator, gifted specialist, author of The Homeschool Advantage, and host of the Raising Lifelong Learners podcast, joins Emily to discuss why supporting neurodivergent kids requires shifting away from one-size-fits-all expectations and becoming an active student of the individual child. TAKEAWAYS Asynchronous development is a natural hallmark of neurodivergence where intellectual, emotional, and physical capacities develop at markedly different rates. Becoming a student of the child allows adults to separate neurological wiring differences from behavioral choices, leading to more effective scaffolding. Authentic strengths-based learning uses a student's high-interest areas to build the confidence and resilience to tackle difficult academic tasks. Testing critical thinking or scientific understanding can be separated from writing output by utilizing speech-to-text tools and alternative dictation methods. Highly capable learners often mask executive functioning deficits until cumulative demands outpace their early compensatory strategies. Being an effective advocate requires ongoing, collaborative communication between home and school rather than relying solely on formal annual meetings. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. You'll learn how to replace pathologizing jargon with empowering, neurodiversity-affirming language that builds self-advocacy and resilience. Register for this course today.

Send us Fan MailThe calls that keep coming back aren't always “police problems” they're often people problems that never got solved. I'm joined by Amanda Rizzoli, clinical program coordinator with Milford Police Department in Massachusetts' Family Services Unit and Community Impact, plus Detective Cody Carneiro, to pull back the curtain on what a Family Services Unit actually does day to day and why it can change outcomes for families and first responders alike.We talk about the “merry-go-round” every officer knows: the same address, the same conflict, the same crisis, and the same short-term fix. Amanda and Cody explain how the unit focuses on root-cause work across mental health, substance use, domestic violence, runaway youth, and family instability. That means connecting people to the right behavioral health care, outpatient therapy, case management, housing applications, shelter options, and ongoing follow-up so a single incident doesn't turn into a pattern.We also get into the bigger picture of community-based policing and co-response models: how school-based relationships help kids feel safe reaching out, how clinicians and officers support each other on tough scenes, and how partnerships like Community Impact and Chris's Corner create real options when a town is trying to help someone who is homeless or stuck in a revolving door of crisis calls.Then we go where it matters most: first responder mental health stigma. We talk candidly about the fear of being seen as weak, the worry about fit-for-duty judgments, and why leadership support can make or break whether people get help. If you've ever wondered what actually works to move a “ten years on” veteran toward support, we share the simplest answer: start with a real conversation and make mental health a normal checkup, not a career risk.Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast

You know those homeschool conversations where someone asks, “What curriculum are you using?” Sometimes it is harmless. Sometimes she is just curious, looking for ideas, or trying to understand what is working for another family. But sometimes that question lands in a tender place. You hear what someone else is using, what level their child is in, what tutorial they joined, how fast they are moving, or how much that mother expects every day—and suddenly your own homeschool starts to look smaller in your mind. In this episode, I'm talking about the pressure that can rise when another family's path starts to feel like the ruler you should use to measure your own. I share a recent conversation with a mother in a very full season who was trying to make wise decisions for the actual children in her home, only to feel deeply criticized by someone whose family and season looked very different from hers. That kind of conversation can make a mother wonder whether she should push harder, add more, or copy a path that does not truly fit. And I want to be clear: structured curriculum, co-ops, tutorials, high expectations, and rigorous homeschooling can be wonderful gifts when they are serving a specific child and family well. This episode is not against structure, challenge, discipline, or asking children to do hard things. But your homeschool does not have to win a conversation. If comparison has been making you question a path that is truly serving your children, this episode will help you slow down, look honestly at what God has placed in front of you, and choose faithfulness over impressiveness. Scripture referenced: Proverbs 3:5–6, ESV: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” This passage is not a promise that every homeschool decision will be obvious, easy, or free from struggle. It is a call to trust the Lord, acknowledge Him in ordinary decisions, and refuse to build our homeschool on fear, appearance, comparison, or our own limited understanding. XOXO, Katie

Your brain is either getting stronger or getting weaker. There is no neutral, gentlemen. Today Jim Kwik breaks down why comfort, convenience, and cognitive offloading to AI are quietly making men mentally soft, and what it actually takes to build what he calls "cognitive reserve" which is the difference between a man who stays sharp, independent, and capable as he ages and one who doesn't. We get into why peace comes from capacity, not comfort, why self-trust is built by keeping promises to yourself instead of anybody else, and Jim's personal framework for using AI to sharpen your thinking instead of replacing it. If you feel like your focus is slipping, your discipline softening, or your identity too wrapped up in a job title that could be taken from you tomorrow, this episode might be the reset.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Shift from Achievement to Fulfillment 03:51 Avoiding Modern Distractions & Media Outrage 06:00 Developing Mental Sovereignty in the Age of Information 08:20 The Danger of Cognitive Surrender to AI 11:35 Comfort Crisis and the Value of Struggle 14:01 Building Human Intelligence Through Challenge 18:44 How Modern Conveniences Weaken Mental Muscles 21:33 Navigating Difficult Conversations & Growth 25:50 Building Self-Trust by Keeping Promises 28:08 Character, Wealth Transfer, and Raising Resilient Kids 31:00 Understanding Cognitive Reserve and Brain Health 35:21 Cognitive Offloading vs. Building Real Intelligence 37:40 The B.U.I.L.D.
