Send us a text Let’s talk about control. It can feel like we have to manage “all the things” in our lives, but have you ever stopped to consider the cost? Chronic stress, exhaustion, and losing touch with your own power are just a few of the side effects. In this episode, we dive into a question from Amanda R., who asks: “There’s so much in life that’s completely out of our hands, but I know there are things we can control. How do you figure out where to focus your energy and let go of the rest?” Spoiler alert: The only thing you can truly control is you—and that’s actually great news. Join us as we explore how to reclaim your energy, let go of what’s out of your hands, and focus on what really matters. We'd love to hear from you!

In today’s episode, listener Kelly M. asks, "Winter always feels like a heavy season for me, and I know I’m not alone in that. How do you find inspiration and motivation when you have none? Winter can feel heavy - short days, long nights, and never-ending-to-do-lists. Join us as we share real talk, personal stories, and practical tips for getting through the harder seasons and understanding how each season affects us. From small mindset shifts to simple routines, we're here to remind you that it's okay to feel stuck and it is possible to find joy and purpose even when the world feels heavy.

Bullies Be Gone 42:55

منذ 18 weeks42:55

42:55

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re discussing a listener suggestion from Sarah. What do you do when you want to bully the bullies that are bullying your child? Most of us have a story about bullying...either witnessing it, hearing about it, engaging in it, or being on the receiving end of it. It's bad all around. No one likes a bully and it's totally natural that parents react strongly to bullying. Of course you'll defend your child from a threat...any threat. We're hard wired to protect them. But, what we might not consider is the potential harm caused by "fixing everything" for them. What if, instead, we focused on setting them up for success, ensuring they feel safe and heard at home, modeling what the healthy expression of feelings looks like, and teaching them not to take things personally.

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re answering a question from Josephina. She asks, "Everyone's kids seem so busy and involved with after-school activities. Why is this important, and how do you find the right activities for your kids without overwhelming them (or yourself)?" Without a doubt, there is tremendous value in extracurricular activities for our kids. But, managing it all can be a very complex puzzle to put together for your family. As ages and stages change, so do the challenges and rewards of these activities. Becky shares her perspective as a home schooling mom of younger kids and Lacey focuses on what it's like with high school students in public school. We'd love to hear from you!

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re answering a question from Mallory K. She asks, " With everything going on in the world and in our schools, I am struggling to protect my kids while still preparing them for the world. I don’t want to be a helicopter parent, and I also want to make sure they’re safe. Do you have any suggestions?" Babies aren't born with a parenting manual, so, it's no wonder modern parents feel torn between protecting our children and preparing them for the world. Our children need both, but how to find the right balance. We'd love to hear from you!

The Sandwich 37:56

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re discussing a listener suggestion: The Sandwich Generation. The Sandwich generation is defined as a generation of people, typically in their thirties or forties, responsible for bringing up their own children and for the care of their aging parents. It's hard to care for yourself when you also need to care for others. Members of the sandwich generation may feel they need to choose between their parents and kids. Some people may wind up ignoring their own needs entirely. It's no wonder so many "sandwiched" caregivers struggle with burnout. Join us for this relatable discussion. We'd love to hear from you!

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re diving into your questions. Listener Sarah, S. asks, " How do you handle it when life’s everyday stresses are overwhelming?" Becky and Lacey take turns weighing in on this super relatable question. Without a doubt, all mothers experience overwhelm from time to time. It's a normal and natural part of adulthood, but pay attention to how do you handle feelings of overwhelm. Do you pass it off, saying "Oh, it's fine, I'm fine, everything's fine" or do you pause, check your boundaries, and take some time for you? We'd love to hear from you!

Send us a text In today’s episode, we’re diving into your questions. Listener Roberta J. asks, " I recently discovered that my 15-year-old son is hacking into the school’s laptop to access social media, install prohibited games, and other questionable software. We busted him over the weekend, shut everything down, and tightened up our parental control systems, but I’m still filled with worry. He could be expelled from school or worse…How can I help him create a healthy relationship with the technology in his life?" Becky and Lacey share personal stories and address some tech questions that are on all our minds....How early is too early for our kids to be working with school issued laptops? Should cell phones be allowed? How can parents set a good example for our kids by keeping our own use in check? We'd love to hear from you!

It feels a bit like the NFL draft. How do you handle all the moving parts, including the inevitable changes the school year brings to your home?" It's back to school time and that can mean an opportunity to come back to a routine or a new challenge to resume all the activities. Whether your kids are in public school, private school or homeschool, there are some things you can do to handle all the "moving parts" with more ease, presence, and joy.
