Which WordPress theme should I use? How much do podcasters get paid by sponsors? What made you “jump” [from your day job]? How did failure not become an option for you?

Warning! If you believe any of these myths about strength training, my goal is to turn your thoughts before you're finished listening. If you're here, happening to read the show notes, and you're not strength training, I made this with you in mind. But, there are three other women that I want to reach. Are you here?  the woman who thinks yoga, Pilates, or walking are enough the woman who thinks she has to do Crossfit or follows a trainer who insists on "functional" only workouts the woman who is "lifting regularly" but never reaches muscular fatigue. >> Myth #1: You don’t have time. You will have to plan the time, but my question is how much time do you think it takes? A quality workout is one where you reach muscular fatigue with major muscle groups. You can do it in 10 minutes or less if you have to, but a great workout requires about 30 minutes. >> Myth #2: You’ll get hurt. Your chances of getting hurt are much higher from frailty, falls, pulled muscles and poor balance due to weak muscles than from strength training. >> Myth #3: You need a lot of equipment. You need a few pair of dumbbells and an exercise ball. Substitute some water bottles and backpacks full of books if you need to. >> Myth #4: You will bulk up. There’s really a very small chance you have enough hormones to get bulky now. >> Myth #5: You need to lose weight first. Of all myths about strength training this one will prolong the problem you have more than others. Weight loss will happen from increasing metabolism. The only way to do that is to strength train. Contrary to popular belief cardio will not help you boost metabolism long term. Minimal evidence exists to show small changes in muscle from HIIT in post menopause women. Making Progress? If these myths about strength training don't fit you, but you're thoughts are, "I never see results anyway?" it's not that it doesn't work. It's that the way you're lifting/resting/and eating aren't working together.  >> Reason #1: No other exercise will improve the way you age like strength training. Countless studies point to strength training’s power to reverse aging effects of genes, reverse mitochondria damage, prevent Alzheimer’s, enhance muscle, bone and brain health and so much more. >> Reason #2: Muscle loss accelerates during late-stage perimenopause and early post menopause.  The sharp decline in estrogen at this time removes the stimulus from estrogen for muscle. That stimulus has to come from a new and significant stimulus.  >> Reason #3: Bone loss is inevitable without strength training. You can’t out-run, -Zumba, or -yoga your bone density losses. It requires a minimum effective stress of continued overload. Yoga might get you from 0-10 if you've come from the couch. It won't get your from 11-100. >> Reason #4: Frailty, falls, and fractures lead to mortality. Your weight – high, low, or average doesn’t exclude you from being frail due to what is called sarcopenia. >> Reason #5: Muscle strength is much more within your control than fat loss. Muscle strength is something you can monitor, manipulate, and control while fat loss has many variables, a chief one being stress. Then there’s inflammation. Your body won’t potentially shed fat with high stress and or inflammation. Myths about strength training negate this big piece of information. The better podcast would have been myths about fat loss. Of course we know them, but the biggest? Is that if you lose weight you will be healthier, and live longer. Truthfully, you may or you may be more frail, and guaranteed of regaining weight. Your future self depends on strength and muscle.  Help Right Now If you’re listening to this on the day I release it March 31, STRONGER is open. If you’re hearing it later you may get on a notifications list. Strength training is not one of those things that can be put off until there’s time, until it’s convenient. Disease, stress, and therefor muscle and bone losses continue even when you’re not looking and busy. They have a hey day when you say you don’t have time or energy to exercise or eat right.

Once an elementary school principal, she now works full time as a teacher educator and change leader.

Beneath the personal struggle lies a chance to discover meaning and bliss. It’s a matter of knowing how to transform challenges into impassioned change. On this journey to self-enlightenment, motivational speaker and author Niki Spears shares strategies to help you embrace struggles and recognize them as opportunities for self-discovery.

Join Niki on this journey to help you write the next chapter as you transform the meaning of struggle to create your masterpiece. BIG IDEAS • We can view our struggles and challenges as opportunities to move into our purpose. • We each have a different lens through which we view our life stories, and changing the lens can change our life outcomes for the better. • Challenges and setbacks may be caused by other people or events in our past, but we can choose to stop spending our timing blaming and take responsibility for creating our positive future. • In the most challenging of circumstances (like this pandemic), we can improve our own lives by helping others. LINKS & RESOURCES • Connect with Niki and find out more about her work at nikispears.com. • The Map of Consciousness Explained by Dr. David R. Hawkins • The Success Principles  by Jack Canfield QUOTES Niki: "What I explore in the book is talking about our perceptions, and rewriting some of those negative perceptions, our stories that we tell ourselves." Niki: "When I was a little girl, I grew up in a family where I didn't always feel valued and appreciated. And that story I was telling myself was really controlling everything that was happening to me in my adult life. I was blaming my parents. I was blaming my upbringing, and it was keeping me stuck." Niki: It's like I woke up and I said, 'You are going to have to start owning everything in your life.' If you continue to blame, you're giving the situation, you're giving the person, power over your happiness and your ability to create the life that you want. Once I started to take personal responsibility, everything around me started to change." Niki: "I want to teach people how empowering it is just to own your life experiences and embrace the struggle." Niki: "You create your world. So that could be a positive world based on your perceptions of what's going on, or it could be a negative experience." Audrey: "It's a really challenging time. And a lot of people are feeling very negative about their lives, about our country, about everything." Niki: "I want you to look at struggle in a new way, as an opportunity that's going to propel you to move into purpose. Because struggle is not a negative term at all. If we look at struggle, and we break it down, struggle is a verb that says that we're still moving in the face of adversity." Niki: "We have to look at things that are happening around us as an opportunity for us to showcase our best selves." Niki: "In these moments of challenges, there are great opportunities for us to show up and to show out. And so that's what I want to encourage everybody to do. Instead of looking through a negative lens, look and see, where can you help?" Niki: "We cannot compare ourselves to someone else. Our journey is totally our journey." Niki: "And so it's not necessarily always something that you do, but just to contribute a positive self, to smile, to say hello, to write a nice letter to someone, those are, those may be small things, but they serve in a big way. So even recognizing the people who are doing the big things and just being their cheerleader could be part of what you do in your story." Niki: "I think you need to look at what are some things in your life that you're unhappy with right now, think about those. Be honest with yourself, be willing to go there with yourself, be vulnerable. What are those things in your life that don't bring you the love, peace and joy that you want? Then ask yourself, who's responsible. And if you're holding someone else responsible, or you're holding some event responsible, I want you to cross it out and put "me." You put yourself there and you have to practice that." Niki: "You've taken ownership. You're no longer blaming your parents, blaming your bosses, your friends, or COVID. But now you understand that even though these things may not be your fault, it is your responsibility to do something about it." Audrey: "Even in families, it's like, you know, the conflicts are happening and people have misunderstandings over sometimes silly things because we're spending so much time together. So it's just being able to, again, just take that pencil and just say, wait, I can still be calm. I can still be loving. And I don't have to like take in something that someone saying perhaps out of anger or whatever it might be." Niki: "And I think that in this moment now that we're so divided, that it gives us the opportunity to kind of test ourselves in that area where we can listen to different points of views without feeling angry, and all these other emotions that can come into it, but just listen, and let it flow through, but don't let it impact, you know, your mood and how you feel and, and those kinds of things." Audrey: "I really hope other people will pick up your book or hear your words and really find the beauty underneath their struggles. Because as you've inspired us, there is always something to be learned or to be gained, to come out the other side stronger, more resilient, even with the worst of stuff."

This month's Patreon resource: 31 Simple Things: 31 of my favorite tips for happier, more connected families. Join Audrey's email subscriber community for resources and ideas for happier, more connected families.  Frustrated with your kids' (or your partner's) behavior? Dr. Catherine Pearlman discovered, over her many years of coaching parents, that often the best way to curb an undesired behavior is to give it less attention. In this episode, I talk with Catherine, who is the founder of The Family Coach and author of Ignore It! How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction, about the helpful strategies Catherine has shared with countless parents in her columns, speaking, and coaching practice. In Ignore It, Pearlman outlines the occasions when ignoring behavior is appropriate, how to reengage when the behavior stops, and how to praise and reinforce desired behaviors. I was, of course, happy to hear that Pearlman also has vast summer camp experience as a camper, counselor, and director! IGNORE IT! Book Description This book teaches frustrated, stressed-out parents that selectively ignoring certain behaviors can actually inspire positive changes in their kids. With all the whining, complaining, begging, and negotiating, parenting can seem more like a chore than a pleasure. Dr. Catherine Pearlman, syndicated columnist and one of America’s leading parenting experts, has a simple yet revolutionary solution: Ignore It! Dr. Pearlman’s four-step process returns the joy to child rearing. Combining highly effective strategies with time-tested approaches, she teaches parents when to selectively look the other way to withdraw reinforcement for undesirable behaviors. Too often we find ourselves bargaining, debating, arguing and pleading with kids. Instead of improved behavior parents are ensuring that the behavior will not only continue but often get worse. When children receive no attention or reward for misbehavior, they realize their ways of acting are ineffective and cease doing it. Using proven strategies supported by research, this book shows parents how to: – Avoid engaging in a power struggle – Stop using attention as a reward for misbehavior – Use effective behavior modification techniques to diminish and often eliminate problem behaviors As Pearlman says, the book is for parents of kids from 2-21, but the techniques might also be useful in other settings, including with adults who have difficult behaviors! BIG IDEAS • Pay more attention to what our kids are doing right than what they're doing wrong. • Know when to ask for help is a parenting strength. • Ignore bad behavior to make your parenting more enjoyable. • Ignore (and don't comment on) certain behaviors to improve the parent-child relationship, especially with teens. • Sleep is crucial for our kids (and for us) and impacts mood and behavior. LINKS & RESOURCES • Where to connect with Catherine and find out more about her work: The Family Coach Website Facebook Instagram • Ignore It! How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavioral Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction.  QUOTES • Audrey: "I didn't think it would be as applicable in my own life. Since my youngest kids are now 13 and 16, but I found it really applicable." • Catherine: "It's not how it looks on Facebook. Everybody really is going through something. They just don't talk about it, but I see it. So I know that everybody's going through stuff." • Catherine: "When our kids start whining or complaining or arguing with us after we've already said no, and we've explained why, then we ignore their behavior and as soon as they stop, we reengage with them. It's very simple." • Audrey: "Once you know what you do want them to be doing, you can reinforce that and really get it to happen more often." • Catherine: "I think it's nice in my adult life when I do something nice for someone and they say, 'thank you.' It's nice when I do a great job at work and my boss says, "Wow, you did a really great job." All of those things help motivate me to continue to do a good job so if we're realistic, we all need that." • Catherine: "What happens is when parents aren't on the same page, kids use it to their advantage always. They know exactly how to work the system, how to get mom and dad against each other and to basically get what they want or to get forgotten about while mom and dad are arguing over the little thing." • Catherine: "Kids are really chronically overtired and that can account for a lot of mood issues. It can account for academic performance, depression, lots of issues for kids, just not getting an extra hour or two of sleep." • Catherine: "There's nothing my kid can say that will let me have them keep their devices in their room because I know exactly what's happening on them and nothing good is happening at 3:00 AM on their phones." • Catherine: “I live for camp. I was a camper. I was a counselor. I was a camp social worker and a Camp Director. I love camp. I send my kids to camp. I'm a big believer in the wide variety of benefits for camp.” IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE...

Join Audrey's email subscriber community for resources and ideas for happier, more connected families.  This week on the podcast, hear directly from my kids about their thoughts about my parenting. My guests are my oldest and youngest kids, Gretchen (age 26) and Owen (age 17). They happen to be the only two of our kids at home with us during quarantine. We talk about life at home together during COVID, how my parenting has changed over the years, and their thoughts on rules, fairness, screen time, early bed times, siblings getting along, independence, and much more. BIG IDEAS • Parenting can get more "relaxed" over the years so that sometimes kids in different birth order positions have some different experiences. • Understanding different family member's personalities can help you better understand areas where there are repeated arguments and learn how to better respond to each other. • The oldest child often feels the burden of doing everything first and not having anyone to "follow." • Sleep is so important! • Seek support and advice from parents with kids your oldest child's age so that you can better understand and relate to what they're going through.

But because it wasn't a smartphone, it was purely for communication." • Owen: "I remember the big thing was probably limiting screen time on the computer. When I would come home from school, it would just turn off after 30 minutes." • Owen: "Video games, I think for a while I had my video games screened before I could buy them." • Audrey: "One of the things all parents really want is for their kids is to at least eventually get along." • Gretchen: "Historically, it's like a ton of teasing, which fortunately I've turned out fine." • Owen: "There's a lot of advantages. I think there's, what I just feel like, there are a lot less rules." • Audrey: "Do you think there might be a correlation between being more responsible and mature and independent because you had these older siblings?" • Gretchen: "I feel like because you're just dragged around in the car so much. I feel like you do need to be a more flexible person when you're younger." • Audrey: "Well, you guys both know how important sleep is, right? If there's anything I've taught you in life, don't you feel better with a good night's sleep?" • Gretchen: "The positives would for sure be reading every night and consistent family dinners, at least for some days of the week, depending on what works for people." • Gretchen: "And for sure bedtimes too, at least when people are younger, I can't think of a major parenting fail." • Audrey: "It tends to be a firstborn thing, I think, although not, I'm sure it's not always, but really trying to set a really high standard." • Owen: "We stay connected. It's just I'd rather be at school." • Gretchen: "It's been awesome. I think as someone who lived very independently for seven or eight years, I was very surprised by how much I love being home. And I love having this time with my parents and my brother. It's just such a unique opportunity that oftentimes you don't get in the middle of your twenties, to have family time again. So I'm definitely appreciating it and not planning on leaving anytime soon." • Audrey: "Selfishly, I'm really enjoying it too, but mostly I feel bad for Owen because I know it's not as enjoyable for him." • Owen: "It's not terrible." • Audrey: "'It's not terrible.' By the way, that's like the highest form of a compliment from a 17-year-old." IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE...

Join Audrey's email subscriber community for resources and ideas for happier, more connected families.  This week on the podcast, Sara Kuljis and I talk about the challenges of having young adults (high school and college age) stuck at home during a season of their lives when they are most wanting to separate from us and be with their peers. In this episode, we talk about how to better understand and cope with our young adult children's behavior, especially during COVID. ABOUT SARA KULJIS Sara is a good friend, fellow camp professional, and a regular podcast guest on Sunshine Parenting. Sara is the mother of three young adults (two college students and one high schooler) and a Gallup Strengths Coach. She is the owner and director of Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp and Emerald Cove Day Camp. Sara offers popular parenting workshops in Southern California, including one we do together (Raise Thriving Kids). BIG IDEAS • COVID has in many ways, robbed young adults of the opportunity to really lean into where they naturally are in their developmental stages. • Parents can help honor losses. I think it's important to name, What makes me sad? What makes me frustrated? Why do I feel angry? And not all young people know how to identify where those feelings are coming from. • Feeling the loss with them, holding it with them or telling them that it's okay to feel yucky about those things. I think that's a really important role that a parent can play, hold losses without judgment. I think it's also important that we need to acknowledge our own losses, • This COVID season might be a season for some of us to be thoughtful and to kind of step back and look under the waters, even reach out for some professional help if necessary. • We as parents, for some of us, we may need to let go of some of the smaller battles or the smaller concerns. It's not about the GPA perhaps this semester or this year. It might be more important to focus on a healthy relationship and how to manage stress and how to be supportive. LINKS & RESOURCES • Ep. 139: Doing Life with Your Adult Children with Jim Burns • Jim Burns "Doing life with Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out" • Raise Thriving Kids QUOTES • Sarah: "You know, for some young adults, older teens, and college students, COVID has ended up being kind of a gift for them." • Audrey: "Knowing that this is not something that as an adult, we can say, ‘Oh well, I didn't get to go on this vacation this year, but we can go in a couple of years so we can get it back.’ For these kids and that age, they won't get it back. So that's sad. That's a real loss that is hard to even fathom because we didn't go through this at their age." • Audrey: "I think that's one thing that we need to remember through all this, even though their behavior and their response might irritate us, I think really digging deep to that empathy of realizing how different it is for them going through this then it is for us as adults." • Sarah: "I really felt compelled to kind of remind myself of the developmental stages that these young adults are in and go back to the root. Why and how is this young adult needing to behave this way? Where's this coming from? And it's great to realize and to remember that the developmental stages that these young adults are in are times where they are searching and ready and wired for autonomy and self-reliance and some new independence." • Audrey: "I've talked about this a lot with parents is that you have these children and you nurture them and you raise them and really your goal is to make yourself not necessary. Which is a weird job. Have a job where the end goal is to not be needed anymore." • Audrey: "We need to recognize that we have some ambivalence about our kids growing up and becoming their own people." • Audrey: "I think that's on both sides, we have to really do some adjusting and thinking about how this is impacting us and our families." • Sarah: "As best as we can remember not to take their crankiness, their uncooperativeness, their irritability, maybe their silence, or their anger personally." • Audrey: "It's really the same kind of communication stuff that we need to be doing all the time with our kids regardless of their age. That whole validating things, sometimes parents get it wrong. Where if our child is sad about something, even if it seems unimportant to us, we need to validate the feeling and not undermine what they're going through." • Audrey: "If we want our kids to keep talking to us about things we can't diminish what's important to them, which is maybe different than what's important to us." • Audrey: "That's what I think a lot of times we do that as people, whether it's with our children or another relationships, we react to what was said or the eye roll or whatever it is. And then we've missed that opportunity to connect over something much more important." • Sarah: "As parents, we start as caregivers and then they get a little older and then where their coach and then we move into that consultant stage." • Sarah: " To sum up everything, this is messy. But with thoughtfulness and with a real partnership with our young adults, I think we can be okay." • Audrey: "Many adults are going through hard things right now. So I think we can also model for our kids in terms of if we need some counseling or some support to show them that it's okay to do that. And that lots of people are doing it right now." • Audrey: "So I just want to encourage people that everyone's going through a hard time. And even if people are posting happy photos, there's some strife going on inside homes everywhere right now. And we need to just realize that that's human nature when you're stuck together for a long time. And especially when kids who are meant to be out and about and spreading their wings have had their wings clipped." IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE...

Jean is the host of Action Network Live!, a webcast bringing experts to parents on how screens impact all aspects of child development. She writes a weekly blog and speaks widely to parents, teachers and activists, empowering them to implement simple solutions to a complex 21st century parenting challenge.

Prior to working at the Action Network, Jean was a freelance marketing writer, illuminating products and services for nonprofit and business clients. She was also a music teacher, director of a large church school, and a college writing center consultant. Her greatest role is mother to 5 children. BIG IDEAS • The Social Dilemma is fantastic because it helps you understand that social media apps were designed for profit for the companies that designed, not for the benefit of the users (a good term because of the addictive nature of the apps). • If you have preteens or teens, we encourage you to have them watch The Social Dilemma with you. They'll understand more at the end, they'll maybe see themselves or their friends in it or their cousins. They'll understand it from the perspective of one of those ages. If you have young children, the film is really a cautionary tale. It's something that if you watch it now you can prevent some of these things from happening. • While we do have the children's online privacy and protection act, that has not translated into the regulations for social media that you would expect, and kids are still able to scroll. They're able to find things. • For our kids, it's so easy for them to believe everything that they see and for us to need to explain that not everything is real on the internet. Fake news and stories spread much faster than true ones.

All of a sudden your kids are converted to this world. It's a gradual change in their behavior. And so we don't want to wake up someday and not know our kids." • Jean: "There are studies that say, we learn a lot more. We absorb a lot more by reading the real book." • Jean: "You can't change it.

"You Might Also Like" brings us to the end of the second season. 20 episodes total for two seasons for this modern version of the Twilight Twilight Zone to establish itself.
