Family Looking Up

We love teens and all of the energy they can bring!  Our guest this week is Evgeniya Andrianova who, like us, sees potential in teens.  She has written a book aimed at helping teens discover their potential and do more than dream - actually make the world a better place!  

Evgeniya is originally from Siberia, but has lived in many countries around the world.  She has spent most of her adult life working in the corporate world, and has translated the strategies she learned there into steps for helping teens achieve their dreams.  She is fascinating and we love her message!

Mindfulness is a buzzword that we all hear about, but how many really know what it is, why it's important, and how on earth the everyday mom is supposed to achieve it whilst juggling baseball, PTA, and dance class!

If you feel frazzled (after the most frazzling year imaginable), listen in to hear Hunter describe why mindfulness is so much more than just a buzzword.

What does motherhood look like for you?  Do you feel like you have had opportunities to prepare for the challenges coming at you now?  Are you struggling with a part of motherhood that you just don't know how to fix? 

Meet Diana Ballard, host of the Mom Training Podcast, who's on a mission to equip moms with the tools, strategies, and support they need to be the mom they want to be.  Listen in for a fantastic discussion!

Stacy Taniguchi took several years to build his list of 100 goals.  His list began as a teenager, while living in his native Hawaii, inspired by life magazine's motto: “To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel."

Stacy decided that he didn't want to simply exist.  He wanted to thrive.  Throughout his life he steadily worked toward those 100 goals until recently accomplishing the last of them.  

If you are interested in being inspired to thrive in your life, we know this episode will fit the bill.  Enjoy!

I don't know a better person in the world to talk about setting and fulfilling goals than an olympic medalist.  This episode is a treat!  Noelle Pikus Pace, Silver medalist in the 2014 Olympics, wife, mother of 4, and one down-to-earth-momma is with us today!  She talks about identifying your dreams, finding a way to accomplish them, and actually doing it.  We loved this interview and know you will too!  Get ready for some serious inspiration as we head into 2021!

A very merry Christmas to you all!  In this episode, we tell some great stories, talk about Christmas Covid style, laugh a lot, and feel all the feels.  We hope you'll join us!

For the past 40 years, Denmark has been considered the happiest country in the world. That's pretty impressive, especially considering the United States doesn't usually make it into the top 20.

Our interview this week is with Jessica Joelle Alexander, author of the Bestselling book, The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids.

This interview with Jessica was SO GOOD! There is so much to learn from Jessica and how the Danes parent. From the importance of letting our children play, reframing difficult situations, teaching empathy, to experiencing Hygge, this episode is packed full of so many good parenting gems.

If you feel like you'd love to add more meaning to the Christmas season, then this week's episode is what you're looking for!  "Christmas Jars", written by Jason F. Wright, has sold more than half a million copies worldwide and was a New York Times best-selling novel.  The film was produced by Muse and BYUtv and was released in theaters in November 2019.

In this episode, Jason visits with us about the incredible experiences he has had, as well as countless others, with their own Christmas Jars.  He talks about how powerful it is to give selflessly and how we can each incorporate Christmas Jars into our families traditions!

This is our Christmas gift guide part 2!!  In last weeks episode we went over the best classic gifts (the ones that are built to LAST) that we've ever given our kids.  In this weeks we focus on fantastic gifts for friends, neighbors, spouses and, of course, for you!!

It's one you won't want to miss!

One thing that all parents hate is to finally think of a great gift, only to have their child lay it aside 10 minutes later (never to pick it up again) OR to have it break before Christmas day is over!  We've all been there....many times!

In this episode the three of us put our heads together to think of the best classic gifts we have ever given that are built to LAST and that have held our kids attention for YEARS!  

This is an episode you won't want to miss!
