The Madhouse Parents Podcast

Don't become a home for other people's issues. It's easy to let others impact your life and your mood. In this podcast, Luke breaks down how this recently impacted him and what he's done to cast those demons away.

You're probably not going to agree with this thought right away?!? We're hurting our kids by praising them too much! Sounds a little hard right? In this podcast, Jena and Luke break down why we must stop over praising and start constructively correcting! The impacts are already visible in the classroom, on youth sports teams and in general all over society. This impact will be significant and long term if we, the parents, don't act now!

Feel like you're living Groundhog day repeatedly? Not feeling challenged? Feeling lost? Incomplete? Those feelings have persisted the last few months for me and it's time to bust out of the rut. In this podcast Luke breaks down exactly how he plans to do so and how you can to!

Teaching Our Kids Honor #66 by Luke and Jena James

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you were so laser focused, amped up, on that one thing? That's all you think about, it consumed you. Then it's over. Now what? How do you get past the lull? Or better yet, ensure that it doesn't happen? In this podcast, Luke and Jena break down their latest lull and how we're planning to get through it.

Boundaries?? Where do we start? How do we know what's too much? Too little? Are we restricting our kids too much? Are you protecting them enough? How do we manage? In this podcast, Jena and Luke discuss how we're handling boundaries in our new setup and what we've learned.

You're wrong! Why would you do that? You're making a mistake? Ever heard these words? From a friend? Family member? Random person? Ever feel confused, conflicted, after hearing these words? "Uncle Bill, he's been around for a long time, accomplished some great things, but has never home schooled his kids, so should I really listen when he tells me my kids will be socially inept if I home school??" Other times the advice is warranted and helpful, how do I know?!?! In this podcast, Jena and Luke dive into this tricky subject and share some of our experiences making big decisions over the last 15 years and when we did and didn't heed the advice.

Hey, we missed you too! It's been a minute! We've had some big changes happen in our life! Taken some leaps of faith! Gotten a little uncomfortable! And feeling pretty awesome about it. Jena and Luke jump into what's been happening in their lives over the last few months and dive into the big life change their family made. Looking forward to getting back on track with y'all! The fun has just begun, looking forward to an awesome 2021 with Madhouse Parents!

Are you fired up? I don't know about you, but I've found myself fired up quite a bit recently??! Fired up and ready to share! Ready to share and influence, but what's missing here?!? I would not describe myself as an empathic person, definitely something I struggle with. The real unfortunate thing here is being fired up and non-empathic; not a great combo when you're trying to help forge a message forward, hoping to sway someone from theirs. In this podcast, Luke dives into the power of empathy and why he's working at being more empathic.
