In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany gets candid about the real cost of raising financially literate kids — and why teaching your teen how to budget might be the best parenting move you make this year.Tiffany shares how she and her husband JR are navigating financial literacy with their daughters, including the system they built to give her agency over her money without removing support. They talk about creating explicit agreements (not unspoken expectations), designing budgets based on real-life categories, and the emotional tug-of-war that comes with watching your kids make their own money mistakes. You'll hear how Tiffany is using tools like Greenlight to simulate real-world pay cycles and how she's building in monthly “money meetings” to instill habits that will serve her daughters long after they leave home.Whether you're trying to stop handing out $20s on demand, or want to set your teen up for financial success, this episode breaks it down with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of practical takeaways.What You'll Learn:How to shift from implicit expectations to explicit financial agreements with your kidsThe monthly categories Tiffany includes in her daughter's teen budgetWhen to let kids fail (on purpose) to teach real-world financial lessonsReal-Life Budgeting Tools: Use Greenlight to simulate a real paycheck cadenceSeparate “mom pays” vs. “teen pays” categories to reduce conflictTreat budgeting like a skill-building exercise, not a control mechanismRevisit and revise the budget every 90 days with your teenTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:06) Why financial literacy is a non-negotiable life skill(03:00) Remodeling vs. moving — the real cost of family decisions(06:15) The mailbox letter experiment and its surprising result(10:54) Building a teen budget with intention (not punishment)(13:49) Collaborating with your kids instead of controlling the process(16:04) How Tiffany mimics real pay cycles through biweekly allowance(19:36) The power of written financial agreements(21:10) What her daughter pays for — and what she doesn't(22:58) Reconciling budgets and developing spending awareness(24:31) Preparing teens for adult expenses — one category at a time(28:18) A real story about interest, cupcake sales, and a Brandy Melville skirt(33:01) Final reflections and parenting through financial personality typesCheck out the apps and sponsor of this episode:Created in partnership with Share Your GeniusDownload the Summer Sanity Toolbox: Start with priorities.

Exodus 20:12-21

One of the biggest stressors for parents is helping their child get to sleep and stay asleep. Bedtime can be a real battle for parents at times and today's guest is here to help alleviate that by looking for root causes and also how you parents can help relieve your sleep issues as well. When the whole family sleeps well, things go better.   In this episode, she'll talk about sleep apnea - yes, even for kids - which includes snoring, and mouthbreathing, and how sleep is not a "passive process" like we might think, involving hormones, the immune system and even memories that are processed while we sleep.  Our sleep is affected by nutrition such as iron deficiencies and our sleep hygiene like how dark, cool and noise-free the room is for sleeping.  And one that parents are certainly guilty of - screentime before bed. Dr. Brown says we need to stop that at least 60 minutes before bed and that includes TV and tablets too.  Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a board-certified pediatrician with extensive experience working with children who suffer from a range of sleep issues, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and behavioral sleep disorders. Her holistic and compassionate approach to care sets her apart as a trusted expert in her field. Dr. Afolabi-Brown earned her medical degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, one of Africa's premier institutions for medical education. She completed her pediatrics residency at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is renowned globally for its cutting-edge pediatric care and training programs. Subsequently, she pursued a fellowship in sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she gained specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children. I know you're going to get a ton of great value out of this episode so please enjoy the show. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Afolabi-Brown is an advocate for sleep health education. She actively raises awareness about the importance of sleep through various platforms, including community outreach, public speaking engagements, and digital media. Her mission is to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to create healthy sleep habits for their children. Dr. Afolabi-Brown is also active in several medical associations, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Her contributions to these organizations include advancing research, developing best practices, and sharing insights on sleep interventions. She has also collaborated on scholarly publications and presented at national and international conferences, demonstrating her commitment to the growth and development of her field.

What if the key to a happier, more fulfilling life was something you did effortlessly as a child, but have almost forgotten as an adult? Meet Laura Haver, the author of "Play Together” who's on a mission to help families rediscover the transformative power of play. Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with this happiness and play expert to uncover why so many of us have lost touch with joy, and more importantly, how to get it back.

You want to do it because you want to do it"Practical Tools Mentioned* Meditation and mindfulness: Body scan meditations for getting present* Gratitude practice: "Three new things that you're grateful for" each night to build gratitude muscle* Free playlist planner: Available to help adults remember what they enjoy doingRecommended Resources: Take Back the Game by Linda Flanagan1000 Hours Outside, founded by Ginny YurichLet Grow OrganizationLaura's Playlist PlannerAbout the GuestLaura Haver is on a mission to inspire people of all ages around the world to infuse their lives with play.

How does an entire family become involved in church work vocations? David Beikmann (principal and teacher at Linn Lutheran School, Linn KS, moving to Zion Lutheran School in Pierce, Nebraska), his wife Diane Beikmann (Lutheran teacher) and daughter Camryn Beikmann, join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about who encouraged each of them to pursue church work, David's time serving at Linn Lutheran School, the chapel service at Linn Lutheran that focused on Set Apart to Serve, how David and Diane have created a culture of church work formation and recruitment at Linn Lutheran, Camryn's journey into church worker formation at Concordia University, Nebraska, and the letter of intent she signed to attend CUNE for Lutheran Teacher Education. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

The child welfare system is not perfect. Not only is it subject to the types of challenges all government programs can face—such as a lack of funding, policy gaps, and inefficiencies—it's also very overloaded. As a result, many biological parents don't receive the best resources to help them navigate their circumstances, and often, they are confused about how to access the resources that are available. Here at The Forgotten Initiative, we're committed to advocating for the best interests of children and families while ensuring that the laws and procedures designed to protect them are upheld. This is exactly what Esther Sherrard, a dedicated private consultant, works to do every day! Esther helps agencies, courts, and faith communities improve child welfare outcomes by preserving, restoring, and growing families. She was a licensed foster parent for older youth and has spent 10 years with the Federal Child and Family Services Review team. Esther is determined to see more children and families involved in the child welfare system experience positive outcomes. In this episode, Esther shares some of the challenges biological parents face when trying to navigate the system, the importance of the local church standing in the gap to support children and families in foster care, why we should seek to show true compassion to biological parents, and much more. This conversation was grounding and inspiring as we seek to fulfill God's calling to promote justice and support families.

Katie and Tommy discuss how much we look at our phones, screens, and all sorts of distractions throughout our day, which means we are often unable to be seen by the Lord. Lent is a chance to be vulnerable, and allow ourselves to be seen by Jesus.

When it comes to health and wellness, it's easy to focus on diet, exercise, and even supplements, but sleep often takes a back seat. Since sleep is essential and happens every day, it might make more sense to start with sleep rather than end there.

This week, I'm joined by a medical doctor specializing in sleep medicine to dive deep into the science and strategies of better sleep. Listen and learn: Why sleep apnea is on the rise and its effects on health The pros and cons of sharing a bed with children or grandchildren Myths vs. reality around wine, cannabis, and prescription sleep aids How to use the CREATE acronym to prepare for restful sleep LINK: TheRestfulSleepPlace.com ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is triple board-certified in pediatrics, pediatric pulmonology, and sleep medicine, reflecting her extensive expertise in these areas.
