  • 271. Learning With Your Daughter to Love Your Body, with Kerrie Nygard
    Jun 10 2025

    What if healing your own body image could help your daughter avoid the years of shame, obsession, and insecurity so many of us grew up with?

    In this powerful episode, we talk about how to build a healthy, connected relationship with your body—and how to model that for your kids (without even saying a word). Whether you're raising daughters, sons, or anyone in between, this one’s for you.

    You’ll learn:

    • 3 myths that keep parents stuck in body shame

    • The subtle (but damaging) things we say around food and bodies—and what to say instead

    • 3 practical ways to create a more respectful, loving relationship with your body

    • How to raise body-confident kids without passing down your own insecurities

    This isn’t about perfect eating or loving every inch of yourself—it’s about creating safety, respect, and honesty around the bodies we live in. For you and your kids.

  • 270. When (adult) Kids go "No Contact" with a Parent
    Jun 3 2025

    It’s one of the most heartbreaking things a parent can face—when your grown child cuts off communication. In this episode, we explore why this happens, what parents can do about it, and how perfectionism and performance-based love often push the very people we want to keep close... away. I’ll share the surprising truth about what God never asked parents to carry, how to untangle what’s yours from what’s theirs, and how to shift from “being a good parent” to being a safe one.

    If you’re grieving a fractured relationship or walking on eggshells, this is your invitation to heal—for your sake and theirs.

  • 269. When You Think Their Future is Doomed, with Casie Fariello
    May 27 2025

    Ever find yourself spiraling about your teen’s future—wondering if they’ll ever graduate, get a job, or not end up living in your basement forever? In this powerful episode with Casie Fariello, we get real about what happens when our fears blow things out of proportion. Casie shares her raw, honest parenting journey—navigating everything from school refusal and addiction to unconventional paths that still led her kids to success (on their own terms).

    We talk about:

    • Why “normal” milestones aren’t the only markers of success

    • How fear and embarrassment isolate parents (and what to do instead)

    • The reality of parenting teens who struggle—and why it’s okay not to have all the answers

    • How to find hope even when everything looks off-track

    If you’re exhausted from trying to “fix” your teen’s future—or terrified you’re missing something big—this conversation will remind you: it’s not too late, and you’re not alone.
