William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, authors of The Seven Principles for Raising a Self-driven Child, share how parents can build connection, support autonomy, set healthy expectations, and create more joy and calm in family life.Full Show NotesAs our children grow into teenagers, parents often find themselves uncertain about how deeply to intervene. We know our kids need our involvement and guidance, but teenagers also crave autonomy and independence. Teens often appear distant and difficult, getting frustrated when we try to help solve their problems, yet feeling hurt when we don't show enough interest. Add stress about school, extracurriculars, and the future into the mix, and family life can quickly spiral into frequent conflict, anxiety, and disconnection.How can we give our teenagers the steady presence they need without micromanaging or inadvertently amplifying their stress? What does being a relaxed, positive, and supportive parent actually look like in daily practice? How can we inspire our teens to be driven, motivated, and self-directed without resorting to threats, bribes, or constant reminders?Today's guests, William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, offer compassionate, practical solutions from their new book, The Seven Principles for Raising a Self-driven Child. Bill is a clinical neuropsychologist, and Ned is the founder of Prep Matters. After two bestselling books on parenting and educational motivation, their latest interactive workbook provides powerful exercises and reflective prompts to help parents foster resilience, autonomy, and joy in their families. Together, Bill and Ned show how parents can become calm, confident leaders who empower teens rather than push or control them.Building a Calm and Confident Parental PresenceBill and Ned share why being a calm, non-anxious presence is one of the most powerful ways to support our teens. Rather than reflecting back our children's stress or adding to it with our own worries, they recommend setting the goal of becoming less emotionally reactive. Bill and Ned offer practical strategies, including meditation and cognitive practices, to train ourselves out of fear-based interactions. This calm approach reinforces teens' belief that they can handle life's ups and downs without parents needing to intervene constantly.Healthy Expectations vs. Anxiety-Driven PressureHow high should parents set their expectations? Bill and Ned dive deep into how expectations can provide either healthy motivation or become harmful sources of anxiety. They remind parents that expressing gentle confidence—that our teens are capable if they work at something—is far healthier and more motivating than demanding perfect outcomes. Bill and Ned reveal thoughtful ways to assess and realign your family's expectations around what truly matters to you and your teen.Using Joy and Humor to ConnectIt's easy for family life with teens to center solely around problems to solve—grades, chores, social relationships—leaving everyone exhausted and joyless. In this episode, Ned and Bill emphasize why prioritizing joyful family rituals like Friday movie nights, outings, or humor-filled interactions are so essential. By carving out time simply to enjoy and laugh together, you communicate that your child's presence is valued and loved unconditionally, no matter the stressors you face.Helping Teens Discover Their Own PathMany teens feel overwhelmed by other people's expectations—parents, teachers, coaches—and lose sight of what they truly want or care about. Bill and Ned offer profound insights into how to ask non-threatening, reflective questions about what teens genuinely love and value. Learning to help your teens identify their intrinsic motivators rather than external pressures is vital to building lifelong skills and confidence.In this Episode, we also discussTalking to teens about their core valuesThe surprising importance of "passionate pastimes"Addressing perfectionism and self-criticismStrategies to parent anxiety-prone or avoidant teensIf you're looking for proven approaches to calm anxiety around parenting teens and foster self-driven motivation, you won't want to miss Bill and Ned's tested wisdom. Their thoughtful, compassionate insights help every parent gracefully navigate the teenage years. Listen now, and make sure to subscribe and share!

What does a waffle party, a melancholy performance review, and a CIA sabotage manual have in common? They all help us understand the strange, satirical—but strangely familiar—corporate world inside Apple TV+'s Severance.In this episode, inspired by The Future of Commerce article The grim barbarity of optics and design: Severance quotes for work, we explore how the show's unsettling one-liners shine a light on:The cult-like elevation of founders and company valuesThe dissonance between perks and real well-beingThe emotional toll of performance reviews and layoffsThe hidden rebellion in “corporate wellness” languageAnd how “office sabotage” might not be accidental after allWe'll also unpack some of the most striking (and hilarious) Severance quotes—from “The work is mysterious and important” to “They cannot crucify you if your hand is in a fist”—and ask what they reveal about real-world work culture today.What You'll Learn in This Episode:1. How Severance Became a Cultural Mirror for Modern WorkThe show's core premise and how it reflects the fragmentation of personal and professional identityThe psychological (and existential) impact of dividing your “innie” and “outie” self2. The Three Layers of Corporate Dissonance in SeverancePraise Keir: Worshipping founders and flattening criticism through “values”Perks and Rewards: When waffle parties replace fair payWorkplace Realities: Absurd performance reviews, layoff rituals, and inauthentic feedback loops3. Subversion Through Self-Help: Ricken's Book as RebellionHow empty-sounding inspiration becomes radical within a closed systemQuotes that double as calls for resistance (“A society with festering workers cannot flourish...”)Why Severance is secretly about solidarity, self-awareness, and autonomy4. The CIA Manual ConnectionHow Severance mirrors tactics from a real-life WWII sabotage guideThe power of passive inefficiency as rebellionBureaucracy as both enemy and weapon5. From Dystopia to Diagnosis: What This All Says About Work NowHow satire helps us process the absurdities of everyday office lifeWhat performance reviews, jargon, and fake empathy reveal about workplace powerThe thin line between fiction and reality when it comes to corporate cultureKey Takeaways:Severance may be sci-fi, but its commentary on modern work hits close to home.Corporate perks can distract from deeper dissatisfaction—but employees see through the charade.Language matters: What seems harmless can reinforce systems—or help break them.Fiction like Severance gives us a vocabulary to critique, reflect, and maybe even rebel.You're not alone in your workplace confusion—sometimes the most radical act is asking, “Why?”Subscribe to our podcast for more cultural commentary on the future of work and technology.

Sound is one of the most overlooked elements of branding, yet it has the power to make or break your audience's experience.When your content's audio feels off, people might not be able to articulate what's wrong—but they'll click away faster than you can say "is this thing on?"Most business owners obsess over visuals while treating audio as an afterthought.They grab trending sounds for their Reels.They use generic stock music for their videos.And suddenly... their content sounds just like everyone else's (and how the hell are you supposed to stand out, now??)If your content isn't making the impact you want—even when the visuals look great—this episode with audio expert Julian Blackmore is about to change the way you think about your brand's sound forever.Inside This Episode, We're Covering:How sound triggers powerful memory and emotional responses in your audienceHow to align your audio choices with your brand's mission and valuesThe dangers of using trending or stock audio (and why it's probably costing you more than you think)Why instrumental tracks are crucial when overlaying voice contentThe psychology behind storytelling through sound using the seven basic plotsSimple ways to improve your audio quality without breaking the bankWhy bad audio quality is essentially insulting your audienceSome of my favorite quotes from the episode:"Don't underestimate how important audio quality and sound and music is in your content. And don't insult your audience by assuming it's okay to post a piece of sh*t.""People might not be able to point exactly to what the problem is, but bad audio just sounds 'nope.'""If you are using stock, be really f*cking careful how you use it."Resources Mentioned:20K Hertz Podcast: www.20k.orgBook recommendation: Seven Basic PlotsConnect With Julian:Website: julianblackmore.comInstagram: @julian.blackmoreConnect with me:Website: marissapane.comInstagram: @⁠⁠pane.marketing⁠

Self-trust is something we all want, but many of us struggle to build it. If you find yourself second-guessing your decisions, over-preparing for worst-case scenarios, or feeling like you can't rely on yourself, you're not alone. In this episode, we're unpacking why self-trust is so challenging, especially for those with anxious attachment, and how to shift your focus to build a strong foundation of inner security.What We Cover in This Episode:Why anxiety craves control — and how this undermines self-trustThe inverse relationship between trust and controlHow trying to prevent bad things from happening leads to self-blameA powerful reframe: self-trust isn't about making the "right" decision, but making decisions in alignment with your valuesThe biggest ways we unknowingly damage self-trustWhy building self-trust is essential for healing anxious attachmentSelf-trust isn't about getting everything right or ensuring a perfect outcome, but about showing up with integrity and knowing you have your own back. 

In Matthew 6:21, Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That teaching is true for everyone, and yet men and women have different perspectives on money. So how do wise women manage the resources God entrusts to them? Miriam Neff is here to talk about that today.Miriam Neff is the founder of Widow Connection, the author of 11 books, a counselor, a Bible teacher, and a speaker. She supports widows through sewing and bakery projects and is the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with her daughter. Her radio features New Beginnings and Starting Over Financially air nationwide.Managing money wisely is a critical skill, and for many women, the responsibility of financial stewardship comes unexpectedly. Whether due to widowhood, divorce, or simply taking on a more active role in household finances, women today oversee 51% of the wealth in the United States, a figure that continues to grow.However, with the right mindset and practical steps, women can confidently manage those resources. Here are eight key habits that wise women adopt to steward their finances well.1. Acknowledge That All We Have Belongs to GodThe foundation of wise money management begins with recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God. Whether it's a paycheck, a home, or an investment portfolio, God has entrusted our financial resources to us for stewardship.Some may think of their 401(k) or IRA as ‘theirs,' but biblically speaking, all of our resources—income, spending habits, even our possessions—belong to God. This means we must steward everything wisely, from the big decisions to the small ones.2. Take Responsibility for Knowing Your FinancesMany women suddenly find themselves responsible for managing their finances after years of leaving it to a spouse or financial professional. Miriam emphasizes that understanding one's financial situation is crucial, whether through spreadsheets, budgeting apps, or simple pen and paper.We cannot make excuses, such as “My parents never taught me this” or “My teenagers demand too much.” We are accountable to God for how we manage our resources.Taking responsibility also means seeking help. Resources like Widow Connection, Faith & Finance, and local church financial ministries provide guidance and support.3. Create a Spending Plan Based on Income and ValuesThe world encourages spending beyond our means—bigger houses, new cars, and credit card debt. However, wise financial management requires a spending plan that aligns with both our income and values.Cultural messages tell us to spend first and hope our income will catch up. Biblically, we must prioritize contentment and stewardship. A budget is a tool to help us live within our means and honor God.A values-based spending plan includes giving to God first, meeting needs before wants, and saving wisely.4. Recognize That Every Spending Decision Is a Spiritual DecisionLarry Burkett famously said, “Every spending decision is a spiritual decision.” Where we allocate our money reflects our priorities and our hearts.What do you check first thing in the morning—your bank account or social media? If we want to understand our hearts, we should examine our calendars and bank statements. They reveal our true priorities.If our spending habits don't align with our faith, it's time to make changes, even if they start small.5. Eliminate Excuses and Avoid Emotional SpendingExcuses can be a major roadblock to financial wisdom. Many justify poor financial decisions with statements like:“My spouse is a big spender.”“My children need expensive gadgets to fit in.”“I was feeling down, so I indulged in some ‘retail therapy.'”Fear and emotions should not drive our financial decisions. The Bible warns about fear-based financial mistakes, as seen in the parable of the servant who buried his talent instead of investing it (Matthew 25).Owning our financial decisions, rather than blaming circumstances or emotions, is key to stewardship.6. Take Personal Responsibility for Financial ActionsFinancial wisdom requires discipline and self-control. Some common financial missteps include:Overindulging children to compensate for a difficult divorce or personal guilt.Hoarding money to fill an emotional void rather than stewarding it wisely.Making impulsive purchases out of fear rather than planning wisely.When we take a small step toward honoring God with our finances, He steps in and provides in ways we never expected.7. Regularly Review and Adjust Your Financial PlanFinancial plans aren't static—they must evolve with life's changes. With inflation, rising costs, and unexpected expenses, a budget from last year may no longer be effective.A core principle of financial wisdom is having three to six months of emergency savings. We can't predict when financial challenges will come, but we can prepare for them.Adjustments may involve cutting unnecessary expenses, increasing savings, or shifting spending priorities.8. Invest for Kingdom PurposesThe ultimate goal of financial wisdom isn't just security—it's Kingdom impact. Everyone's calling is different, but we should all invest in eternity. Whether it's giving to your church, supporting missionaries, or helping those in need, prioritizing God's Kingdom brings the greatest return on investment.Accountability partners, financial mentors, and small group discussions can also help reinforce wise financial habits.Take the Next Step in Your Financial JourneyThese eight habits provide a roadmap for women navigating financial responsibilities. Whether you're newly managing money or looking to refine your financial approach, the key is to start today.For more insights and practical steps, pick up a copy of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan.

The conversation around money isn't always lighthearted, honey. Money is one of the top stressors and major areas of conflict for many couples, which is why we put as much care and attention to how we do finances as we do anything else. In our opinion, there's not a right or wrong regarding how money is dealt with inside of a partnership, as long as there's true alignment between both partners.In this episode, we discuss how finances, prenups, and decision making have all contributed to the overall success of our relationship while respecting individual values along the way. We share past experiences that inform present decision making as a couple, and how Dr. John Demartini's techniques (which we've utilized since the beginning of our marriage) help illustrate perspective around current vs. future lifestyle and income. We share our outlook on financials as a married couple including the power of agreements throughout the process — especially when rubbing up against a growth edge during harder conversations. We share stories from past experiences in relation to financial dynamics and how those lessons help us appreciate our decisions on how we do money in partnership today. Organization around our finances is one way we are able to access the world through the lens of, “We can do more than I can.”Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform.
