Episode 138: Preschool Wisdom with Zee Pendleton & Angela Rice Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

There is a beautiful little preschool in Nashville, attached to an Episcopal church, that has a very special place in Sissy’s heart. Its name is St. George’s Kindergarten and the faculty there—headed up by the wonder women known as Mrs. Zee and Mrs. Angela. They are wise, deeply encouraging, and insightful in a way that parents—and aunts and uncles and grandparents and anyone who loves preschool age kids need. We were thrilled for you to hear this thoughtful, insightful and hilarious conversation about what it looks like to love the little people in our lives—and how to best prepare them to thrive in preschool, kindergarten and life moving forward.

Show notes

We have long admired the profoundly helpful work of Moms on Call. When we talked about redoing the Ages and Stages podcast series with voices that we trust, these two women were at the top of our list for Stage 1 kiddos. Our conversation lived up to every bit of what we had hoped and MORE! We can’t wait for you to join in on this conversation with Laura Hunter and Jennifer Walker and discover all of the practical help and gracious hope they have to offer!

Episode 136: Being in the Moment in Parenting with Keely and Gabe Scott Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

We can’t imagine a better way to celebrate this favorite day than with two of our favorite people. Gabe & Keely Scott are some of the brains and brilliance behind our beloved Ladybird Taco. They share the story of how Ladybird came to be, alongside sharing a story of loss and hope that will remind you why these two are so adored and admired in our community (and beyond). Their story made its way to CBS Sunday Morning, The Atlantic, Southern Living (just to name a few). We were honored they would sit down in conversation with us and share this honest, generous account of God’s faithfulness. Find your way to a taco (Ladybird if you live in Nashville or Birmingham!), sit back and enjoy this time with Keely & Gabe Scott.

Show notes

Last week we talked about boys and girls in stage one and who they are. Now, let’s talk about what these Stage 1 little ones we love so dearly need. Is it connection? Boundaries? Emotional literacy? TIME? It feels like they need so much so often in these years.

So, listen in for a conversation with Sissy, David and Melissa on how we can be proactive in our parenting to build more resilient, confident kiddos from their earliest stages.

Episode 132: The Truth About the Prosperity Gospel and Parenting with Kate Bowler Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

One of our favorite things about interviewing folks on this podcast is that we get to introduce you to some of our favorite voices…the ones we trust most. Well, this brilliant, hilarious, wonder of a woman likely needs no introduction to most of you. But, if you’ve been living under some kind of rock and have not yet met the delightful Kate Bowler we are thrilled for you to get to know her here.

Kate is a professor at Duke University, hosts one of our very favorite podcasts, Everything Happens, is a 3x New York Times bestseller and someone we have been dreaming of getting to have on the Raising Boys and Girls podcast for years. And this conversation was everything we hoped it would be and more—we both were doubled over laughing and crying at different times listening to our new friend Kate share with such honesty and humility.

Show notes

Join us today for our final week with The Worry-Free Parent miniseries. After talking about Understanding the Past and Help for the Present, it’s time to talk about Hope for the Future. In this week’s episode, we not only talk about hope, but also about trust. We remind you to trust the process, trust your gut and most importantly, to trust God. We give practical ideas around what that trust looks like in action. And speaking of action, we want to remind you to grab a copy of The Worry-Free Parent Workbook.

Keep learning. Keep practicing. You’ve got this.

Episode 129: How Anxiety Impacts Your Body and Mind Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

As we continue journeying through The Worry Free Parent content, we’ve moved from understanding to help. This week we talk through help for the mind, help for the body and help for the heart. You’ve heard us say before, and we will keep reminding you, that we can only take the kids we love as far as we’ve gone ourselves. If it’s difficult for us to quiet the voice of worry, and practice these game-changing skills ourselves, it will be hard for our kids to do the same. Practicing these skills allows kids to see it on the grown ups they trust the most. It also allows us to be more of the parents (and people) we hope to be.
