Nobody Told Me!

(Apple Podcast’s Best of 2018) When mother-daughter duo Jan Black and Laura Owens first conceptualized their two-generational talk show, nobody told them they’d snag the title of #1 self-help podcast for months on end! But that’s exactly what they’ve done, delving into topics as far-flung as network building, the importance of failure, finding hope after being kidnapped, and how the principles of brain surgery can help us work through everyday problems. Featuring interviews with extraordinary individuals, Nobody Told Me! shines light on the shared human experiences that bring us together, and the challenges that serve as catalysts for our greatest growth. Nobody Told Me! combines Jan’s impressive broadcast journalism background with Laura’s unique, millennial perspective. Driven by a genuine desire to educate and empower, their pioneering platform gives insight into the strategies and secrets of people in all walks of life. Equal parts information and inspiration, Nobody Told Me! brings a personal touch to the interview process. Together, Jan and Laura are asking the questions that help their listeners get through life’s toughest times.

William Stixrud and Ned Johnson: ...how to talk to kids to build motivation & stress tolerance Oct 03, 2021

Show notes

We're a mother-daughter duo who’ve had the same kinds of conversations most parents have with their kids as they grow up. Issues related to school, family, goals, misunderstandings and expectations have all come up between us over the years. We’ve had some great, meaningful conversations and some meltdowns, too!

Parents want to keep their kids safe, healthy, happy and motivated but sometimes it’s hard to know what to say to achieve those goals. Conversation between parents and kids can be difficult at times, if not impossible. That’s why we’re excited to welcome neuropsychologist William Stixrud and test prep expert Ned Johnson to the show. They are the authors of the bestselling book, "The Self-Driven Child". And, they have a new book called, "What Do You Say?: How to Talk with Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home". Their website is prepmatters.com.
