  • What You Need For a Tough Trek: Calling, Commitment, Courage, Companions

    What You Need For a Tough Trek: Calling, Commitment, Courage, Companions
    Oct 17 2024

    We end up on some of life's paths by choice, and some not so much. We find that we need extra motivation and equipment for the uphill battles or daunting tasks. Whatever path you're on, we hope that after spending some time with us you'll feel less alone and believe you've got what it takes to see it through.

    The Power of Play: Let's Have Some Fun!
    Oct 10 2024

    Do you see play as frivolous, extra, or even a waste of time? In this episode, we explore how play is not just for children. As adults, we need it for brain growth, creativity, relational health, and stress relief. We have so much to gain from play, and yet it can be the first thing to go when life gets busy. Join us today as we discover new ways to seek playfulness and fun.

    Purposeful Pain: More Than Just a Feeling
    Oct 3 2024

    Coming fresh from supporting the birth of our first grandchild, we dive deep into the topic of physical and emotional pain, and explore how it serves a purpose in our lives and relationships. Using personal stories and professional experiences, we highlight the difference between pain and suffering, explore the role of support and connection in reducing pain's impact, and stress the value of facing pain with understanding to encourage growth.

10/10 Podcast, “Good Enough” Parents

I may be biased, but after just listening to the trailer, I am sure that this is the world’s greatest podcast. Ok, maybe not THE greatest podcast (RadioLab was pretty good) but definitely up there. Top 50? Listen and decided for your self. Definitely in the top 100–there are also a lot of terrible podcasts out there; I don’t think that top 100 is too unreasonable. And if not the top 100, it will for sure be in the top 500. There is no way it will get knocked out of that bracket. If it doesn’t show up in the Top Podcasts USA browsing category, then that is confirmation of corruption in the system. I guess we will find out.
