Did you know that only 40% of people who make New Year's Resolutions actually stick to them and are successful? 

When it comes to our goals, we all have a tendency to be overly eager at the beginning of a new year. We have all these grandiose ideas and all the best intentions, and we more often than not tend to set too many goals, resolutions that are too big to achieve in one year, or targets that are too vague.

The US Presidential election has brought up many points of contention between voters of all parties in recent weeks, and my household has been no exception.  

Our family has never traditionally spoken at lengths on politics as, generally, it hasn’t been a topic that’s been raised all too often. Though, as my children are becoming young adults and forming their own opinions on the issues that affect their country, disagreements are bound to happen. Most recently, a heated debate came up in my household between my children which challenged me both on a personal level and as a parent.  

Hearing what they said to each other was painful, and whilst I’m so grateful that they have such passionate and strong points of view, it was only another reminder that our politics do not have to define us. I sincerely hope that this new administration brings a new era for peace, hope, and an end to the division that has tainted our nation for far too long. 

To hear more, tune in to Episode 31 of Six-Pack!

In This Episode You Will Learn:

• The effect this election has had on my family (2:00)
• Why this new administration gives me hope as a mother of five daughters (5:25)
• How I responded to the political disagreements within my household (6:30)
• Why I chose to intervene during a heated argument between my kids (9:42)
• Why I felt concerned for my kids’ relationships with each other (10:45)
• The mindset I’ve taught to my daughters & Why a recent argument between two of my children felt like a teaching moment (12:53)
• Why I was so grateful to have an open dialogue with my son in regards to women and our needs (23:03)

In last week’s episode, I touched a little bit on some basic tips that we can do to help us through this holiday season, and one of the subjects I mentioned was how getting enough sleep can lead to a healthier lifestyle for us. And although we oftentimes tend to neglect it, adequate sleep allows our body to slow down and recharge for the following day, so it’s very important to start prioritizing our bedtime rest.  

That’s why, in today’s episode, I wanted to dive a little deeper on the sleep topic and share some of the things our family does to ensure we all get a good night’s sleep – at least, as often as we can. You are going to hear the benefits sleep brings into your life, how much should you sleep based on your age, and some solutions Brian and I found to help our kids prioritize the sleep element in their lives.

I’ve also brought on a special guest today – my third-grader, Ayden, who is going to share her bedtime routine. So, if you want to find out more about this topic, for yourself or for your kids, then tune in to Episode 30!

In this episode, you will learn:

• The benefits sleep has on our bodies. (01:04)
• The link between depression and the lack of sleep. (03:02)
• A breakdown on the number of hours you should sleep every day, based on your age. (05:31)
• The signs of poor-quality sleep & Some things you can do to improve your sleep. (07:44)
• How we deal with sleep issues in our household. (09:34)
