#58 Why I'm Happy When Bad Things Happen To My Kids

Hi, Fam! ·

2025/11/03

When something bad happens to my kids — a fight with a friend, a missed goal, a tough day — I don't rush to fix it. I'm actually… a little happy. 😬 Because this is where resilience is built. In the low-stakes moments of childhood, our kids get to practice what life will demand later: courage, recovery, and perspective. This episode explores the idea of antifragility — the mindset that what doesn't kill us (or our kids) can truly make us stronger. When we stop over-protecting and start coaching,

#57 The Dating Crisis Your Kids Will Face — And How...

Hi, Fam! ·

2025/10/31

Modern dating is broken — and no one wants to admit why. We traded commitment for convenience, love for validation, and real connection for swipes on a screen. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how the dating system collapsed — and what we can teach our sons and daughters to do instead. 💔 Why modern dating leaves everyone lonelier 🔥 How women became the gatekeepers of sex and men the gatekeepers of marriage ⚖️ Why hypergamy (dating "up") broke the balance between men and women 💡 What

2025/10/08

If you’re tired of screen battles, Reclaim Play (https://reclaimplay.com) will help you build a home where kids actually want to live offline again. Every parent has been there — your kid sneaks an iPad, cracks the passcode, or watches “just one more episode.” What do you do next? In this episode, we’ll talk about how to respond when your child breaks your screen-time rules — without yelling, shaming, or losing connection. I’ll show you how to turn these moments into lessons in trust, honesty, and

Hi, Fam! ·

Want your kids to play for hours without begging for a device? That’s exactly why I created Reclaim Play → https://reclaimplay.com/course. Because when kids are lit up by play, screens stop being the only exciting option. You don’t just want kids who put down their devices — you want kids who feel truly alive without them. The laughter, the imagination, the spark that doesn’t need a screen to survive. Yet, the hard truth is... if life at home feels dull, screens will always win. That’s why this

You worry your kids are addicted to screens. But deep down… you know you might be, too. The endless scrolling, the quick escapes, the way it steals presence from your family—it’s not just their problem. That’s why I created Reclaim Play → https://reclaimplay.com/course — to help parents raise kids who can play independently, without needing a screen to stay entertained. Because when play is thriving at home, screen time doesn’t have to run the show. In this episode, we’re facing the truth about

Hi, Fam! ·

Culture is shaping how we see marriage, parenting, and even desire itself. That’s why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire ) — my membership for women who want to reignite polarity, attraction, and chemistry in long-term relationships, even when cultural messages push the opposite. Today, I’m unpacking those same culture-wide forces and how they’re driving birth rates down across the West. We’re told it’s about money, stability, or timing… but are those really the reasons? Or is something

#50 Culture is Lying to You About Motherhood

Hi, Fam! ·

2025/09/03

More and more women are quietly asking the same question: is motherhood even worth it anymore? Between the sacrifices, the cultural critiques, and the pressure to “have it all,” the question doesn’t come with an easy answer. That’s why I created The Studio (https://hifam.com/studio) — my membership where I help women design family cultures that feel joyful, resilient, and rooted in what actually matters. Because when your foundation at home is strong, everything else in life feels more grounded.

When desire goes offline, everything in marriage feels harder. That’s why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire) — my ongoing membership that helps women reignite polarity, chemistry, and attraction. Because when the spark is alive, conflict shrinks, connection grows, and everything else gets easier. But here’s the problem: today, so many couples are talking about their marriages in clinical terms. Words like unsafe, gaslighting, narcissism, or stonewalling have crept into everyday

Mindset is everything. It shapes whether life’s challenges make us stronger — or keep us stuck. That’s why I created Alchemize, my signature mindset course where I teach you how to transform struggles into strength, and turn setbacks into resilience - https://hifam.com/alchemize Because here’s the truth: self-help promises transformation, but too often it does the opposite. Hidden beneath the buzzwords and labels is a trap. Instead of growing, we get boxed in by identities like “people-pleaser,”

Most "sensory-seeking," "strong-willed," and "high needs" children don't need therapy — they need THIS → https://reclaimplay.com/course Here's what I've discovered after raising 5 kids: When children get the movement, exploration, and independent play they're designed for, most of those "diagnostic" behaviors naturally resolve. They develop focus, emotional regulation, social skills, and confidence — not through intervention, but through what their developing brains actually crave. Before you

Not everything is trauma. Not every disagreement is gaslighting. Not every meltdown is dysregulation. As therapeutic language becomes more mainstream, it’s seeping into how we talk about everything — from parenting and marriage to how we see ourselves. But what if constantly labeling our family dynamics through a therapy lens is doing more harm than good? In this episode, I share 10 ways therapy-speak might be unintentionally hurting your family culture — from overdiagnosing normal struggles, to

“Something feels off with my child…” “Is this just a phase… or something more serious?” “Should I get them evaluated?” When your child is struggling socially, emotionally, or behaviorally, the pressure to seek a diagnosis can feel overwhelming — from teachers, doctors, friends, even your own inner panic. But what if we’re rushing to label what’s actually part of normal — if difficult — child development? In this episode, I share 10 things every parent should try before going down the path of

Marriage doesn’t come with a manual—but Married-U is close. Doors are OPEN - https://married-u.com/university “It was just a kiss cam… until it wasn’t.” “How could they not know they’d be on camera?” “Serves them right.” Chances are, you’ve already seen the infamous Coldplay kiss cam clip.

#43 What to Do When Your Husband Gives You "The Ick"

"He just gave me the ick again." "The way he eats. The way he breathes." "I can’t explain it… I just can’t unsee it." At first, it was funny. Relatable. A little cringe, maybe. But lately? You’re noticing how quick the shift happens — from love to annoyance. From playfulness to disgust. From feeling chosen… to feeling trapped. You still care. You still want to want him. But something about him — about you with him — makes your skin crawl. Is it a sign? A red flag? The beginning of the end? Or

"We're just not compatible." "Why is marriage this hard?" "I keep getting the ick every time he does that thing." "Maybe I married the wrong person." You didn’t think it would feel like this. The silence. The tension. The resentment that creeps in even when he’s just breathing. You’re not dramatic. You’re not broken. But something isn’t right — and no one prepared you for what happens when the story in your head about your marriage starts to shift. You’ve Googled it. You’ve tried to talk about it

Remember when you couldn't keep your hands off each other? Now you're lucky if you make eye contact over the dinner dishes. You've gone from lovers to logistics managers, and frankly, you're both exhausted. So you do what everyone tells you to do: you talk about it. You go to therapy. You communicate your feelings. You hash out every grievance, every unmet need, every way he's disappointing you. And somehow... things get worse. Here's the brutal truth no one wants to admit: You're talking your

Do you ever feel like your husband is like another child? He disappears into the bathroom for 45 minutes right as dinner starts. Heads off golfing without thinking who's watching the kids. Leaves dirty socks for you to pick up like you're his personal maid. You're constantly picking up after him, reminding him of basic responsibilities, and wondering how someone who functions perfectly fine at work can suddenly become helpless at home. The frustration is real. The exhaustion is real. That nagging

2025/06/24

"Why do good women want to leave good men?" If you're married to someone who's loyal, faithful, and not abusive—but you sometimes find yourself thinking "maybe we're just not compatible" or "maybe it would be easier without him"—this question might hit closer to home than you'd like to admit. You're not alone in these thoughts. There's a growing trend of women in their late 30s and early 40s walking away from perfectly good marriages, and the reasons aren't what you'd expect. Not infidelity. Not
