In this episode of Billion Dollar Babie, teen influencer and sister Melana Rae joins Tara Electra and Tash to break down what growing up on TikTok, Snapchat, and social media actually looks like for Gen Z. They get into Snapchat dating, phone addiction, the TikTok algorithm, AI and ChatGPT, online bullying, viral videos, teen mental health, and the pressure of building a social media career while still in high school. Melana also opens up about getting 23 million views, dealing with kids at school making fun of her, approaching 100K followers, and getting love bombed by a guy who moved on with another girl the very next day. The conversation also explores whether college and traditional career paths are becoming outdated, how the creator economy is changing work, and why vaping has become so normalized among teenagers. From Gen Z dating culture to influencer life, social media addiction, AI, self-worth, and teen mental health, this episode gives an inside look at how the next generation is growing up online.

Have you ever walked through a season of life when finding the time to open your Bible seemed impossible? When the busyness of life—or perhaps struggles with your mental health—become overwhelming, it can be hard to slow down, quiet your mind, and spend meaningful time with God.Through many dark seasons of my own life, I've struggled to read Scripture and pray. Perhaps you, like me, have longed for a way to connect with God that meets you where you are and ministers to your soul in a different way.What if there were gentle faith practices that offered the hope and help you need when life makes you weary—without demanding that you follow a strict structure? My guest discovered these practices herself during a season of grief and anxiety.Becky McCoy is a writer, retreat leader, and spiritual director trained at Adelynrood Retreat Center. As a young widow who has processed her grief and learned to live with anxiety and depression, Becky uses her experiences to guide women in discovering gentle, trauma-informed ways of being and believing.In this episode, you'll hear:Alternative spiritual practices for dark seasons of lifeThe beauty found in observing creationHow to practice stillnessAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/becky-mccoy-313Text us or leave a voicemail!Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?

Mental strength isn't something you're born with — it's a muscle you build one choice at a time. In this episode: 10 things mentally strong teens (and adults) refuse to do, and the simple practice that builds real mental strength for each one.10 Things Mentally Strong Teens Don't Do (And How to Build Mental Strength)Being mentally strong isn't about never struggling. It's not a personality trait some people just have and others don't. It's a muscle — and like any muscle, you build it one small, repeated choice at a time.In this episode, we break down 10 things mentally strong teenagers (and adults) don't do — and the simple practice you can start today to build that strength for yourself.1. They don't obsess over what they can't control. Use the circle of control. If something outside your control is causing real anxiety, give yourself 10 minutes to worry about it — then choose one action you can actually take and move forward.2. They don't waste energy trying to please everyone. You can't please everyone, and trying only drains you. Practice saying no to what doesn't serve you, and check your motive: are you serving people, or just afraid of what they'll think?3. They don't confuse their feelings with facts. Getting rejected doesn't mean everyone hates you — that's a feeling, not a fact. Check the evidence. You have a track record of skills and success that says otherwise.4. They don't make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. The difference between a negative emotion and a positive one is often just time. Pause before you send the text, quit the thing, or set the boundary — decide from a logical moment, not an emotional one.5. They don't compare their behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. Social media shows the best lighting, the best moments — never the whole story. Unfollow or mute the accounts that make you measure your worth against someone else's highlight reel.6. They don't let one person's opinion become their identity. Build an identity statement. Write down the qualities you want to be known for — kind, courageous, dependable, disciplined — and collect evidence every day that you're becoming that person.7. They don't let yesterday steal their today. You have a perfect track record: you've made it through every hard day you've ever had. Your future isn't defined by your past — it's defined by what you do today.8. They don't expect confidence before taking action. Confidence comes after action, not before. Everyone starts as a novice. Fear is a choice, and moving past it is a choice too — look back at all the times you already did the hard thing.9. They don't give up just because something is hard. Stop staring at the finish line. Just ask: what's the next best step? Take it, then take the next one. That's the whole path to progress.10. They don't let distractions keep them from what matters most. Set an intention every day — even just one or two things that deserve your attention. If you're struggling, put up barriers: phone in another room, on silent, in grayscale mode. Distraction is the enemy of the traction you need to build a life of satisfaction.If this hit home, share it with a teenager in your life — or with the parent who needs to hear it. You don't have to work on all 10 at once. Pick one. Work on it today. If you need to, work on it again tomorrow. Once you've got it, pick the next one.You are always one second of strength away from a completely different life.Do the three S's:Subscribe wherever you're listeningShare this with one other personStars!

Parents often wait for a crisis before genuinely checking in with their teenagers, missing critical opportunities for connection and understanding. Dr. R.J. Ledet, a triple board-certified psychiatrist and Navy veteran, emphasizes that effective parenting requires pausing reactive responses and allowing wisdom to catch up with impulse. The core challenge isn't teen behavior—it's parental perspective. Teens develop through distinct developmental stages, each requiring specific emotional scaffolding; skipping these stages creates deficits that compound during adolescence when identity formation is critical.

Hi Parents! Teens are busier than ever before. Their schedules are full, their achievements are impressive, and on the surface, many appear to be doing everything "right." But are they actually thriving? In today's episode, I'm joined by internationally recognized educational psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Michele Borba to explore what it truly means to raise resilient, emotionally healthy teens in today's high-pressure world. Drawing from more than 40 years of research and the insights from her bestselling book Thrivers, Dr. Borba explains why success isn't measured by grades, trophies, or packed calendars - but by the character strengths that help young people navigate life's inevitable challenges. Together, we discuss why today's culture often prioritizes achievement over emotional growth, how removing every obstacle can unintentionally weaken resilience, and why healthy struggle is actually an essential part of development. Dr. Borba shares why qualities like empathy, perseverance, courage, and self-control are some of the strongest predictors of long-term well-being and how parents can intentionally nurture these traits at home. We also explore the difference between teens who simply look successful and those who are genuinely thriving, the role of real-world experiences in building confidence beyond screens, and practical ways parents can support emotional resilience without adding more pressure or expectations. If you've ever wondered whether your teen is truly flourishing or simply keeping up, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies for helping them build confidence, resilience, and the character strengths they'll carry for a lifetime.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new teen focused safeguards in ChatGPT and what they can, and cannot, do for young people. They discuss emotional dependence, study tools, discernment, and the temptation to let AI replace the struggle and relationships that make learning meaningful. Parents will be encouraged to help teens use technology wisely while forming them to recognize trustworthy voices and stay rooted in relationships and truth that AI cannot replace.

What if the rewards you're using to motivate your teen are actually making them less motivated? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Özgür Bolat, author of The Reward Trap: Why Rewards Backfire and the Real Science of Motivating Kids, about the surprising downside of using rewards to motivate our kids. Dr. Bolat is a distinguished education scientist, researcher, associate professor, and internationally recognized expert in education and parenting. He earned his master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education and his PhD from the University of Cambridge and spent a year as a visiting PhD student at MIT Sloan. His research and personal experience led him to explore how achievement, praise, and rewards can create a dependence on external validation—and what parents can do differently. Dr. Bolat explains that while rewards may get teens to do what we want in the short term, compliance is not the same as motivation. When we say, “Get an A and I'll give you money,” or “Finish your homework and you can have more screen time,” teens may become focused on the payoff rather than learning, mastery, or personal responsibility. Over time, rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation and even affect creativity, self-esteem, and connection. Instead of immediately trying to control behavior, Dr. Bolat encourages parents to get curious about what's underneath it. Why isn't your teen studying? Why have they stopped caring about school? What are they struggling with? His PEACE model helps parents move away from simply fixing the behavior and toward understanding and solving the deeper problem together. 3 Takeaways for Moms 1. Compliance is not the same as motivation.Rewards may get your teen to do something today, but they don't necessarily build the internal motivation to keep doing it. Ask yourself: Am I trying to get immediate compliance, or am I helping my teen develop ownership? 2. Look underneath the behavior.Instead of asking, “How do I get my teen to study?” get curious: “Why is my teen struggling to study?” Resistance may be pointing to discouragement, disconnection, fear of failure, lack of meaning, or another deeper issue. 3. Help your teen find a cause, not just a goal.Grades and college acceptance may not be motivating enough. Talk with your teen about the bigger picture: What kind of life do you want? What are you good at? What matters to you? How do you want to contribute? Meaning, growth, values, and connection can become powerful internal motivators.

Cecilia Gonzalez joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to talk about the ten years she spent in an abusive relationship that started at fourteen, and how she now teaches teens to catch the first yellow flag before it happens to them.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction (03:20) - Why Love Has to Start at Home (07:15) - Control That Looked Like Protection (10:42) - Jealousy, La Tóxica, and the Stages of Love (14:29) - The Wrong Bus: Love Bombing and the Phone Cycle (17:56) - Blame, Eggshells, and "I Can Fix It" (24:01) - The Music Video That Made Her Leave (27:51) - Three Skills: Communication, Equality, Rights About Cecilia GonzalezCecilia Gonzalez is the Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinator at Higher Ground Youth and Family Services in Orange County. Her students know her as Ceci. She is part of a team that delivers near peer prevention in local middle and high schools, teaching from lived experience rather than from a textbook, and she builds her presentations around quotes and stories that teens recognize from their own lives. She entered an abusive relationship at fourteen with an older partner and stayed in it for ten years, a decade she now uses to show students how control can arrive disguised as protection. She left at twenty-four, when her oldest daughter was two months old. Today she is raising three daughters, and she talks with students about la tóxica, love bombing, the silent treatment, and the rights every young person has: to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Key Points• Control often arrives in the language of protection, which is why it survives the first look. Ceci's partner came to her soccer practices to walk her home safely, and that became the reason she should stop playing.• The silent treatment is the first flag most teens miss. Someone who cares will have the conversation about what went wrong; withholding it is a punishment, and it shows up long before anything physical does.• An apology that arrives as a gift is one more turn of the cycle. He broke her phone whenever he got angry and replaced it within hours with one her parents could not have afforded, which made the next break easier to absorb.• Time in the wrong relationship is the cost that compounds. Ceci tells students, "If you get on the wrong bus, make sure you get off on the first stop," because she stayed on from fourteen to twenty-four.• Blame does its damage by moving the rules off the record. Once she was reading his face for permission he never had to forbid anything out loud, and she started deciding for herself not to see her friends.• A teen's playlist is a way in, and calling it bad music closes the door. Ceci wanted her mother to ask why she loved the sad, heartbroken songs she played loud enough to get told to turn them down.• Home sets the first model of love, so prevention starts before any relationship does. Ceci grew up without a picture of what affection looks like and assembled one from television, the same gap she now watches teens fill with Euphoria.• Teens act on rights before they act on warning signs. Ceci says the first two skills would have been lost on her at fourteen, but "Hey, Ceci, you have rights" would have landed: the right to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Resources• Higher Ground Youth & Family Services• Higher Ground's Human Trafficking Prevention Program (HTPP)• Global Center for Women and Justice• Safe Communities, Safe Kids (GCWJ, Samueli Foundation grant)• Lil Wayne, "How to Love" (official music video)

What happens when the relentless pursuit of success becomes the very thing that undermines our well-being? In this profound episode of Rx for Success, host Dr. Randy Cook sits down with Dr. Stuart Slavin—pediatrician, educator, researcher, and author of the new book The Success Trap: How the Pressure to Stand Out is Fueling Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout in Teens. Dr. Slavin shares his remarkable journey from a shy college student who wasn't sure medicine was for him to a transformative leader in medical education and physician well-being. He recounts the pivotal moment when he discovered that medical school itself was causing profound harm to students—and how he and his colleagues at St. Louis University transformed their curriculum, reducing depression and anxiety rates by 80% while actually improving academic performance. He also discusses his groundbreaking research on adolescent mental health, revealing that school-related pressures—not social media—are the top drivers of stress for today's youth. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the well-being of the next generation of physicians and the culture that shapes them. Key Topics Discussed: Growing up with a physician father and a consumer advocate mother who modeled making a difference. The surprising path to medicine: deciding to apply to medical school mid-fall of senior year. Choosing pediatrics because of "who are my people?" and finding joy in the community. Getting a master's in education—a rare and career-defining decision. The pivotal moment: surveying medical students and realizing "we're doing this to them." Transforming the St. Louis University medical school curriculum: reducing class time, pass-fail grading, and freeing up time for meaning. The stunning results: 80% reduction in depression and anxiety, improved academic performance, and halved failure rates. The "success trap": how relentless achievement pressure and extrinsic motivation are harming young people. Research in 18 high schools: top stressors are school-related, not social media. The importance of sleep: average high school students get only 6.5 hours (need 9-10). Dr. Slavin's new book: The Success Trap—a parenting guide and call to rethink education. The wisdom of Viktor Frankl: success cannot be pursued; it must ensue from dedication to a cause greater than oneself. Big M and little M meaning: finding purpose in everyday moments of connection.

We are living in a global experiment consumed by life on screens. It's difficult for adults to navigate, it's near impossible for our kids. When it comes to screen time it's more than social media, it's the games, the school iPad, the tracking apps. And the big problem is, the rules are changing faster than any of us can keep up with them. Award-winning journalist and author Madonna King joins this conversation to share the findings in her new book, ‘Screenwise: Taking Back Control of Screen Time for Toddlers and Teens'. Madonna interviewed over 300 children, along with principals, teachers, police, and other experts - and what she uncovered goes well beyond ‘get the kids off Instagram'. This is a conversation about the bigger digital world our kids are growing up in; because technology is ultimately reshaping how children learn, make friends, and handle their failures. Madonna's message is simple: Understand the environment and make decisions accordingly. We don't need to remove technology to do it well, but we do need to know what's behind the screen. In this episode, we'll explore: - Why the social media ban is a ‘tiny slice of the screen pie,' and what it leaves out - What happens to a 13-year-old boy's feed within 30 minutes of listing his interests online - The one thing 300 kids said they want from their parents (it isn't more rules) - Why a year 7 and a year 12 child are a ‘generation apart' from a technology perspective, and what that means for your parenting - The ‘friendship skills' screens are erasing, and how to amplify this learning for our kids - The tracking app risk parents don't see - from Snap Maps to Life360, and the conversation to have before your teen turns uses them - The common threat most parents make that stops kids coming to them when something goes wrong - The "dinosaur" move that turned Madonna's daughter's friends into her allies Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:18 Screens aren't just social media 00:08:50 Parenting two generations 00:13:40 Forgiveness and instant gratification 00:17:47 Kids copy what we do 00:24:43 The tracking app trap 00:28:09 What kids really want 00:31:20 Finding your child's mentors 00:41:02 The boundary chart 00:47:43 AI and algorithms explained -

First, Jed chats with Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss, co-authors of the YA murder mystery The Escape Game. Set on a reality TV escape-room competition, the book follows Sierra, returning to the show where her sister Alicia was murdered—determined to unmask the real killer. Marissa and Tamara share how the idea was born from an art-heist escape room, how their 20-year friendship began with Sailor Moon fan fiction, and how writing across continents turned into a "24/7" drafting process. They talk about why teens—especially girls—are drawn to dark, twisty stories, the joy and challenge of co-writing, found family dynamics, and weaving humor and puzzles into a high-stakes mystery that keeps most readers guessing wrong. In the second half, Jed welcomes debut picture book author and longtime teacher Dina Hardt to celebrate Catch of the Day. Inspired by a photo of her brother fishing, the story was first written over 20 years ago and lovingly revised after her brother Anthony's passing. Dina describes how bringing the story back became part of her healing, seeing her brother's spirit in both words and illustrations. She reflects on the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, perseverance on the fishing dock, and the quiet faith of knowing we're not alone. Dina also shares how she gets her fourth graders excited about reading and writing, and why family read-alouds—at any age—truly matter.

It has been an amazing Teens Week 2026, and at today's Teens Take Over Service, Chidiebube Nwaeze brought us God's Word on this year's theme, “Built for More.” Anchoring the message in Ephesians 2:10, we were reminded that we are God's masterpiece, deliberately created in Christ for the good works He prepared for us. Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:14 reinforced this truth: our lives are neither accidental nor without purpose. We were known by God, wonderfully made by God, and built by God for more. The question, then, is not whether there is more in us, but whether we will live in the reality of what God has already designed us to become. Chidiebube gave us three practical ways to do this: do not be ashamed to reflect Christ through your life, get in right standing with God, and take action. Being built for more is not simply a statement of potential; it demands a response. Like David in 1 Samuel 17, we cannot allow age, limitations or other people's expectations to determine what God can accomplish through us. We must know who we are in Christ, allow Him to lead us, and have the courage to act when opportunity comes. The challenge from our teenagers reaches every generation: you were built for more, but the “more” becomes visible when you step out and live what God built you for. Confession: Lord, thank You for making me Your masterpiece. I know that my life is intentional and that You have created me for good works and a greater purpose. Give me courage to reflect Christ without shame, grace to walk rightly with You, and boldness to take action when You call. I will not shrink from who You have made me to be. I am built for more, and I will live for more. Amen.

Defining the biblical term "shalom" as "breaking the hold of chaos," Dave and Ashley Willis describe how you can cultivate shalom in your home as well as in your relationships – particularly by breaking "strangleholds" caused by people who are overly needy. Our guests also discuss the pursuit of shalom in marriage through the careful and deliberate management of conflict. Also, parenting teens often means navigating some of the most challenging conversations families face—from broken trust to friendships and dating. Tim Shoemaker and his son Mark offer practical, grace-filled guidance to help parents communicate well, build trust, and strengthen their relationship with their teens. You’ll discover how listening well and responding with wisdom can turn difficult moments into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.Peace PiratesWhat to Say and How to Say It to Your TeenHow's Your Marriage Doing?Match Your Parenting to Your Kids' Needs

Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

This week, we're celebrating a pretty big milestone: 400 episodes of Hacking Humans! Along the way, we've shared hundreds of stories, scams, lessons, and plenty of memorable Catch of the Days—and we couldn't have made it this far without you. To everyone who has listened, written in with a story, sent us a Catch of the Day, or simply learned to be a little more suspicious of that weird text message: thank you for being part of 400 episodes of Hacking Humans. We're glad you're here to celebrate with us. And now, after 400 episodes, there's really only one thing left to do: get back to the scams.

Maria looks at a rental scam that cost a San Francisco renter $18,600 after scammers copied a legitimate apartment listing, showed him the property, and convinced him they were the landlord. Joe discusses new research showing that younger people can be just as vulnerable to scams as older victims, particularly when they're navigating things like jobs, apartments, online shopping, and their first financial accounts.

This week on The Mother Daze, the fires in Canada bring up some big feelings for Sarah's kids, stirring memories of losing their home, smoke-filled skies, masks and even Covid. Then it's straight into the chaos: Esme gets stung by a stingray, Sarah mistakes Eric's sunscreen-covered face for a jellyfish attack, Esme turns 10 and Sarah is about to be mothering a teen… watch this space!! Meanwhile, Lotus and Ocean have suddenly turned into toddlers, eating sand, shoving everything into their mouths, unleashing pterodactyl screams and developing some VERY strong opinions about food. Plus, we talk about the not-so-fun art of actually following through on boundaries, embracing our changing faces, hereditary dark circles and why seeing real women age in a sea of smoothed, tweaked and perfected faces matters more than ever.

Have you ever looked at your kid's schedule and thought, “How are we supposed to fit all of this in?”School. Sports. Music practice. Homework. Clubs. Family stuff. That giant project they somehow remember at the most inconvenient possible moment.And then we wonder why our kids feel stressed…while we're over here acting as the family calendar, reminder system, transportation coordinator, and human push notification.In part one of my conversation with productivity expert Megan Sumrell, we talked about time debt and why so many of us keep carrying unfinished tasks from one day into the next.But this time I wanted to ask a different question:Can we teach our kids to avoid that mess before they become adults?Because I did NOT start life with excellent planning habits. Megan didn't either. So if we can give our tweens and teens some of these skills at 12, 15, or 18 instead of making them figure it out at 35 while juggling work and kids…yes, please.Megan shares a very practical system for helping kids actually see their time, instead of treating everything that isn't happening right this second as some vague place called “later.”And parents, there are some really good ideas in here for us too.In this interview, we dig into:Why Megan says most kids basically have two categories of time: “now” and “not now”The four levels of planning that can help students manage a whole semester without Mom becoming the Chief Information OfficerWhy writing tasks in a little box labeled “Monday” might still be nothing more than a glorified to-do listHow one teen used her calendar to make a completely logical case for getting out of family yard work (and yes, it worked!)What kids should do when a teacher assigns a five-week project so it doesn't magically become a five-hour panic session the night beforeMegan's surprisingly helpful strategy for procrastinators who look at the thing they planned to do and think, “Nope. Don't wanna.”Why you may need an actual uncertainty budget for your time, just like an emergency fund for your moneyHow teaching kids these skills can eventually free parents from remembering every exam, practice, deadline, and assignment for themOne idea especially made me stop and think: Megan intentionally blocks time on her calendar for problems she doesn't even know about yet.Because something always comes up, right?The internet dies. A teacher assigns something unexpected. A project takes twice as long as you thought. Somebody needs a form filled out by tomorrow morning. (Naturally.)Instead of pretending those surprises won't happen, Megan plans for them.And that may be one of the most practical ways I've ever heard to get out of the constant cycle of, “I'll just squeeze it in somewhere.”If you want your kids to head toward high school, college, and adulthood knowing how to manage their own responsibilities without you constantly chasing behind them, this conversation is packed with skills worth teaching now.Because the goal isn't to raise kids who can cram more into every day.It's to raise capable humans who can look at their time, make good decisions, and know when the answer needs to be, “I actually don't have room for that.”Resources We Mention for Time Management for KidsCheck out Megan's TOP Program and the TOP Program for StudentsGet her free training here to start figuring out that time debt situation!Watch my first interview with Megan on to-do listsWorkshops with Megan are available in #LifeSkillsNow Seasons Two and ThreeDenise Albright has some really fun and colorful planners and visual planning products!

Ian Rowe is a charter school founder who believes hard work and accountability—and rejecting victimhood—are the secrets to a good education.His school Vertex Partnership Academies just celebrated its first graduating class, with students moving on to college, the military, and futures that once felt out of reach in an area where only 7 percent of kids typically graduate college-ready.His newest project, Westchester Aerospace and Virtues Academy (WAVA), pairs a classical education with a surprising real-world specialty: aviation and aerospace training.Students will study great books and Western civilization while also learning air traffic control, piloting, aircraft maintenance, airport management, and related trades. The school will sit right next to Westchester County Airport in New York, so students can watch planes and hear real air traffic control, making technical training part of everyday school life.So why aerospace—in an age when AI is upending every industry?“While artificial intelligence is going to affect every industry … there will always be a need for some kind of aircraft to transport people from one location to the other,” Rowe says.“The best defense against the worst excesses of artificial intelligence is to ensure that our students are steeped in the other form of AI—and that is ancient intelligence … virtue, moral formation, character development.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Could a secret struggle be contributing to your child's spiritual apathy? Even kids who seem obedient, responsible, and spiritually healthy can carry hidden struggles they are afraid or ashamed to share with their parents. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow helps parents understand why sin thrives in secrecy and how they can create a relationship where their children feel safe bringing struggles into the light. Rob addresses three common areas of hidden struggle—sexual sin, drugs and alcohol, and anger and unforgiveness—and encourages parents to pursue honest, ongoing conversations with their children rather than assuming everything is fine. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why even "good kids" can be carrying significant struggles in secret - How secrecy, shame, and spiritual apathy can become connected in a child's life - Why parents need ongoing, age-appropriate conversations with their children about sexuality - Why parents should take potential drug and alcohol use seriously rather than assuming their child would never experiment - How unresolved anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness can become hidden spiritual burdens - How to respond with love, gratitude, and biblical guidance when your child has the courage to confess a struggle Featured Resources: Five Reasons for Spiritual Apathy in Teens and What Parents Can Do to Help — Rob and Amy Rienow explore common reasons teenagers become spiritually disengaged and offer biblical guidance to help parents respond with wisdom and intentionality.

​Today we're talking about the complex and often misunderstood sleep challenges that show up in neurodivergent kids with Dr. Melisa Moore, a clinical psychologist who is board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine and has spent years supporting children, teens, and young adults with sleep and mood concerns. We'll talk about some of the concepts in Melisa's new book, The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids, including why sleep issues are so common in neurodivergent children, the role of underlying conditions like obstructive sleep apnea, how to recognize when something more than “typical” sleep struggles might be going on, and what kinds of support can actually make a difference. Melisa also shares practical strategies for improving sleep routines and helping kids—and their families—get the rest they need. About Melisa Moore, PhD  Melisa Moore, PhD, is a clinical psychologist board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine. Dr. Moore currently practices in the Los Angeles area and virtually across the country, supporting children, teens, and young adults for a variety of sleep and mood issues. She also works for the Sleep Center at Rady Children's Health, San Diego. Dr. Moore continues to supervise medical and psychology trainees and teaches courses on pediatric sleep around the world. She previously worked at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for 17 years, serving as the Psychosocial Director of the Sleep Center and as faculty of the University of Pennsylvania.

The college admissions process doesn't have to consume your family. If it already feels that way, this episode is exactly what you need. Dr. Lisa Damour and Reena Ninan revisit their conversation with Rick Clark, higher education leader, co-author of “The Truth About College Admission: A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together,” and a career insider in college admissions at Georgia Tech. Rick has spent years helping families cut through the noise, anxiety, and mythology of the admissions process, and his perspective is grounding and genuinely reassuring. 

Pornography isn’t just a boys’ issue. Girls are seeing it too, often before their parents realise they need to talk about it. Kristen Jenson, founder of Defend Young Minds and author of Good Pictures, Bad Pictures Guide for Girls, joins Justin to explain why girls need to be part of this conversation. They unpack accidental exposure, curiosity, body image, objectification and the shame that can stop girls from asking for help. Most importantly, Kristen gives parents a simple way to prepare kids before pornography finds them: give them a definition, a warning and a plan. KEY POINTS Why treating pornography as a boys-only problem leaves girls vulnerable How shame around girls’ curiosity can make the problem harder to talk about Why accidental exposure can happen before kids actively seek explicit content The impact pornography can have on girls’ body image and self-worth Why parental controls and filters can’t replace conversations Kristen’s simple three-part approach: a definition, a warning and a plan Why your reaction matters if your child tells you they’ve seen pornography How to start the conversation even if your child is already a teenager QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “It’s never too late to give your kids a defense.”Kristen Jenson RESOURCES MENTIONED Good Pictures, Bad Pictures Guide for Girls by Kristen Jenson Defend Young Minds Brain Defense Digital Safety Curriculum Common Sense Media’s Teens and Pornography report ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have the conversation before your child gets their own internet-connected device. Give your child an age-appropriate definition of pornography so they can recognise it. Explain why pornography can be harmful without using fear or shame. Give them a clear plan for what to do if explicit content appears. Make sure they know they can tell you without automatically losing their device or getting into trouble. If your older child has already seen pornography, listen first. Make it a conversation, not a lecture. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most parents hope to maintain a close, loving relationship with their children as they grow into adulthood. Unfortunately, the relationship they imagined doesn't always become reality. When that happens, the disappointment can run deep, leaving parents wondering what went wrong and how to bridge the growing distance.Many of these relationships are marked by complex emotions like tension, grief, hurt, and even anger. Honestly, that's one of the reasons I dedicated the first half of my book, Empty Nest, Full Life, to guiding parents on how to navigate the tricky process of developing new relationship dynamics with their children as they launch into the adult world.My latest guest on the podcast has done the same with her latest book. Dr. Kathy Koch is the founder of Celebrate Kids, and is known as a trusted guide for parents raising kids of all ages. She offers steady encouragement for parents in seasons that often feel uncertain. With a PhD in educational psychology and reading, Dr. Koch helps parents understand their children more clearly.In this episode, you'll hear:The importance of waiting for our advice to be invitedHow parents can utilize the empty nest season to establish new routinesThe importance of being a safe person for our adult children to approachAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/kathy-koch-312Text us or leave a voicemail!Looking for Empty Nest resources after launching your kids?
