Family Looking Up

Join us this week as we celebrate our 200th episode!  It's just the three of us answering our Fab Four Questions among so many other things!

Our fantastic guest this week, Dr. L. Carol Scott, spoke to us about the deep connection our early childhood development has on our present relationships. She was incredibly knowledgeable, referred to fascinating studies, cited her own personal childhood, and was incredibly hopeful. We loved our discussion with her and count her as one of our most fascinating interviews to date. We hope you enjoy!

Most married couples have struggled - at one time or another - to keep date night alive and, well, fun.  Often times date night ends up as the trip to the grocery store, or some other wholly UN-fun task that really just needs to get done.  Brandon Porter is joining us this week to share tips and tricks that he and his wife have employed to overcome the most common obstacles that couples face.  Listen in this week for some good laughs, creative ideas, and helpful information that can help resuscitate date night at your home!

We choose our favorites during the year to re- release for summer.  This one was top notch!  Lynn Jimenez walks us through the tough decision of when parents should intervene and when they should let things play out.  Enjoy!

Mom's around the world feel the burnout that comes from summertime cooking exhaustion.  Our guest this week is full of fresh and easy ideas to give new life to our summer kitchens again!

This week's episode is one that we are thrilled to release for you!  Linda McGurk is the author of "There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom's Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids".  This book was not only eye opening, but exciting and astounding!  We hope you love this interview with this Swedish mom of two and acclaimed author.

At the core, every parent aims to raise a child that can self-motivate and can fly once they are old enough to leave home.   No parent wants to raise a child that is either so full of anxiety that they can't bear to leave home or a child that is so apathetic to life in general that their biggest concern is their status in Fort Night.  

Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson are with us this week discussing their book "The Self Driven Child" and the research behind it.  It is a fascinating and compelling discussion that we hope you enjoy!

We're so excited to have this weeks guest, @christidaviscoaching on the podcast talking all about how we can build better relationships with our teenagers. We can't wait for you to listen to this one. We love teens, and we love the tips Christi shared with us!
We also threw in a bunch of great book recommendations and a bunch of laughs, so make sure to tune in! Happy listening!
