No parent wants to consider the possibility of their child engaging in dangerous behaviors. We tell ourselves that our teens are smart and healthy; that they would never vape, send sexts, or contemplate suicide - and yet the data shows us that these are all too common behaviors. Host Jim Burns and guest Dr. Jessica Peck, a pediatric nurse practitioner and host of The Dr. Nurse Mama Show, dive into some of the primary pain points our teens face today and how a willingness to have those uncomfortable conversations greatly increases a healthy outcome for our kids. It’s time to step out of fear and into actionable hope!

Did you believe that once you got married you’d live happily ever after? If so, you may be entitled to compensation…

Our culture has shaped a lot of what we unconsciously believe about marriage and that has led to some uncomfortable discoveries; marriage isn’t perfect, my spouse certainly isn’t perfect, I’m not happy all the time, and we fight more than any couple ever “should”. So what is marriage “supposed” to be? Join host Jim Burns and guest Dr. Bob Paul as they discuss some of the biggest lies and myths surrounding marriage and how we can shift our relationships to a loving, thriving, and hope-filled legacy.
