We are leaving behind a rough year. Perhaps, you are looking back and wondering what you even accomplished. Maybe success feels elusive because mere survival felt like a feat.
Parenting is sometimes hard that way.
But what does parenting success even look like?
Is it kids who never fight or argue?
Is it kids who get accepted into top-tier universities?
Is it kids who become CEOs of prestigious companies?
Or is it something entirely different?
In this episode, we explore parenting from an angle that will help you feel like a complete success.

Where is this podcast headed? The short answer: I'm not sure.
Here's what you need to know:
1. I LOVE variety and change.
2. I get bored and restless with routine and predictability.
3. When I get bored and restless, I NEED to make changes, lest I abandon the project.

I was almost 40 when I learned to ski. I use the word "learned" loosely because I still struggle to slow down, turn, or stop when on the slopes. I know one speed, and that is "GET OUT OF MY WAY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SLOW DOWN!!"
It makes skiing interesting and a bit terrifying.
But, in parenting, speed is not the goal. We are in it for the long haul. It is a marathon, not a sprint, where steadiness will keep us on track.
The small things? They matter in parenting.
Slow and steady wins the race. Listen in as we unpack what that means.

When I was a child, my mom always told me that I had to learn things the hard way. That was partly because I hadn't learned to take the advice of others who were further along the path than I. Instead, I had to try it for myself.
I have since become a little wiser. I try to learn as much as I can from others who have walked paths similar to mine.
Today, Greg and I are sharing three things we learned the hard way, including:
1. Sometimes, it is OK to go to bed angry.
2. It’s not a good idea to tie spirituality to external rewards/punishments.
3 Kids will do what you do before they do what you say.
We are keepin' it real today, friends. Let's get to it!

The world is a crazy place these days. Sometimes, I wonder how I will succeed in raising righteous children when darkness seems to be multiplying by the second.
Amidst the growing tide of evil, however, Heavenly Father has provided us with instructions on how to navigate the landmines of our day. As we read and apply the scriptures and counsel of modern prophets, we will be safe.
But what instruction have we received?
We dive into that question in this episode.

Everybody makes mistakes, including children. But sometimes, we, as parents, overreact to our kids' mistakes. We make their failures into huge obstacles instead of allowing them to be learning experiences.
When we blow mistakes out of proportion, we run the risk of damaging our relationship with our kids. When that happens, they may not feel comfortable coming to us when they make (sometimes big) mistakes.
Tune in to learn how to make your home a safe place to fall - a place where you encourage your kids to learn from and overcome their mistakes.
