Imperfect Mommying: Better Parenting through Self Healing with Alysia Lyons
In this episode, I welcome the incredible Dr. Michelle Maidenberg—mom of four, therapist, author, professor, and trauma expert—for a deep conversation on parenting through imperfection, emotional healing, and living a life aligned with our values.We explore her “ACE” framework—Acceptance, Compassion, and Empowerment—and how it helps both children and adults move through emotional avoidance, self-criticism, and stuckness. Dr. Michelle shares moving client stories that show how our inner child often holds the keys to our deepest healing, and how compassionate parenting (of ourselves and our kids) can open doors to connection and authenticity.We also talk about the well-meaning but harmful ways emotions are dismissed, how to sit with discomfort, and why it's never too late to repair with your children. If you've ever struggled with your child's big feelings—or your own—you won't want to miss this episode.
Three goslings hatched so far, another has pipped. Two males, one female.

She and her husband delivered Highland heifers 2 hrs from us, then swung over and we loaded them up. Swedish Death Cleaning continues!!!Weather has been mostly nice, no more rains since the weekend and yes, the county DID come out last Sunday to repair flood damage on bridges, grading the road in a few spots, removing tree log jams from the upstream side of the bridges as well.. Amaze!Acorn sold all unneeded books in the house via Thriftbooks, the ones not sold will be donated to the library.

If we don't talk about Trump's first 100 days on the pod, did any of it actually happen? Are you a government employee who wants to anonymously share your experience working during this shit show of a time? Email us or submit via the Confessional, and we'll share your experience (but keep your identity secret shhh). DON'T BE FOOLED: Trump isn't going to cut your taxes. He's just diverting your tax dollars to his rich friends in the form of tax breaks. With rising prices, are we pickier about the kinds of events we attend? It feels like a night out to a concert can easily cost over $100, and that's after the cost of the tickets! Wait, why are bigger artists' shows seemingly more affordable abroad? And is it ethical for Americans to travel to counties with fewer tour dates to take advantage of cheaper tickets? What additional perks would we like to justify stadium concert ticket costs? Because time is a flat circle, we want physical tickets commemorating the evening. This week's recommendations are helpful and entertaining: SpotHero for event parking (Pam), ThriftBooks.com (Andrew), and 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' on Disney+ (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Do millennials really not throw house parties anymore? How has the house party evolved for our generation? If a friend isn't comfortable hosting gatherings but other friends in the group are, what is the best way to handle hosting responsibilities and reciprocity? Our messiest house party stories...
