#204 When Do Things Get Easier? Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

I remember how challenging it was to have so many little babies in such a short amount of time.

I would think about how much easier things would get when they got older.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but things don't get easier when kids get older. The hard just changes.

Did you know that learning to play an instrument is so good for your brain? Playing an instrument recruits almost every part of the brain, including regions that process vision, sound, movement, and memory.

It's easy to see why so many homeschool parents are encouraging their kids to play one.

However, if you are fighting with your kid, is it worth it?

#199 Family Culture Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

What is a family culture and why do you need one?

I adapted this from the book How Will You Measure Your Life, When you have a a supportive family culture, children don’t even need to ask how to behave, how to make decisions, or how to make this trade-off against that one, your family has become self-managing thanks to it’s culture. Parents don’t need to dive into the details of every decision, because they culture of the family is present in the details of every decision.

Having a family culture makes your home easier and creates a flow and rhythm.

Listen to today's episode to learn how to create a family culture.

#198 Interview with Lyissa Anderson - Recovering from Pornography Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

This is an incredibly powerful interview with Lyissa Anderson. She is the most amazing teen that I have had the privilege of knowing for a long time.

Lyissa was a typical amazing teen. She loved her family, was incredibly kind and helpful, and she got addicted to porn. She is probably the last person that you would think that would struggle with pornography, but now she goes around helping others who have found themselves addicted and she is teaching moms of how they can best help their teens.

It is a message of hope and I absolutely love her courage of being willing to share her experience so that she can help other people.

You can find out more about here at her website: https://www.lyissaanderson.com/
