TPJ 85: Grief And Finding Silver Linings

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/11/09

Are you going through something tough in your life? A big transition, problems at home or in your relationships, financial struggles. Maybe you haven’t had the support you’re used to and you feel like you’re drowning. It could even be a series of trivial things that normally wouldn’t amount to much, but with the year we’ve been having...let’s just say it’s been hard on many of us. When we experience challenges, we often go through a process of grief (even on “small” stuff). There’s a typical

TPJ 83: Parenting & Leadership - You Are The CEO

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/10/19

For some reason we sometimes downplay our roles as parents. We often say things like “I’m just a mom/dad”, and at times don’t approach it with the same zest and zeal we would in our career or other leadership role. Why is that? Today I want to discuss parenting and how I think our role as a parent is like being a CEO. [00:31] Parenting is a high stakes "job" (I know it's a relationship and not a job...but hear me out). [01:02] But we often downplay our role as a parent. [01:53] As parents, we're

TPJ 82: Teaching Critical Thinking Skills

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/10/12

We all want our kids to be resilient. We want them to be critical thinkers. We want them to be respectful, to value diversity, and be tolerant of various lifestyles and backgrounds. Right? Just like our immune system needs to be challenged by foreign substances, our values, beliefs, and opinions are bolstered and improved by being challenged. In this episode I’m going to discuss why our kids need to be exposed to alternative points of view in order to become healthy, functioning adults. [00:43]

TPJ 81: Call Out Culture - We've Got It All Wrong

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/10/05

Have you ever been shamed or humiliated in front of people? Whether it was during school, a social event, or even online, most of us have been publicly shamed at some point. How did it make you feel? Did it make you want to change? Did it feel good? Did it feel like they had your best interest at heart? Odds are good your answer is no. So why do some think that it’s ok to continue this into adulthood, especially online? In this episode I’m going to discuss the call-out culture and what we can do

TPJ 79: Mindset Is Everything

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/09/21

Do you ever struggle with fear, frustration, worry, anxiety, or negative thoughts? There can be this running voice in our heads that constantly makes us feel like we're not enough, like we're messing up, like we're a failure. It can be so easy to feel offended, feel like a victim, feel upset, worried, anxious, scared, fearful, doubtful, etc. In this episode I'm going to talk about how our mindsets are everything, and share a little bit about my own personal story of how my mindset helped me turn

TPJ 78: Criticism, Critique, & Critical Thinking

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/09/07

There seems to be some confusion in our culture between criticism and critique. While criticism can be unhelpful and hurtful, critique is necessary to help us grow, develop, and make wise choices. It’s how things improve! You’ve probably heard the saying “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” I sometimes get feedback like this when I talk about school or issues in parenting. And I agree! We should always be kind. But perhaps we need to redefine what's "nice." In this episode

TPJ 77: The 6th Love Language

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/08/31

How do you express your love? Is it the same way you receive love? How do your kids experience your love? In this episode I’ll discuss the five love languages coined by Gary Chapman and add my take on them. PLUS I’m adding a 6th one to the list. [02:13] Gary Chapman’s “The Five Love Languages” [03:19] This can help us understand each other and improve our relationships. [06:06] These can change as we change.

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/08/24

Marriage should not be a cause of pain and suffering. OR AT LEAST, should not ONLY be a cause of pain and suffering. It should also be a source of great energy and joy, and should be enhancing and boosting our life. It should make life easier and more enjoyable, having this companion and life partner by our side. But so often I’m seeing the opposite. Instead of being mostly good with some challenges, I’m seeing big challenges and lots of stress, with very little joy. In this episode I want to take

In this episode I’m going to walk you through a series of questions to help you shift your mindset and improve your relationship with your partner.

I know there can be a lot of anxiety and indecision when it comes to the topic of school vs. homeschool. How do you know which way to go? What if I try it and it doesn’t work? What if I ruin my kids?? In this episode I’m going to walk you through the decision making process and take you from indecision to clarity. [10:42] “The best use of imagination is creativity.

TPJ 70: Kate Northrup - Do Less, Get More!

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/06/29

Join me in a conversation with my friend Kate Northrup, "Do Less" author, as we talk about time-management, work-life balance, and vulnerability. Sometimes we feel we have to hide some part of our parenting because we're afraid of people's judgments. We fear sharing our whole, vulnerable self because disagreement is often met with hostile, dogmatic, judgmental comments. One of the things I’ve worked hard to cultivate is friendships with others where it is ok, desired even, to say your honest

TPJ 68: Who's to Blame for the Family Fights?

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/06/01

Many people have been struggling with feelings of powerlessness and negativity. But what if I told you that you possess the ability to empower yourself and create positivity in your life? That’s exactly what I’ll be discussing in this episode. [03:50] Our thoughts and words are powerful. [06:48] Culture has "watered down" certain words and concepts.
