With Whit

Are you a parent trying to figure out what the sh*t to do with your kids?  That was a trick question because of course you are. You wouldn't be here if you weren't. Hillary Frank began her career as a contributor to This American Life and is the creator of the podcast The Longest Shortest Time. Hillary is also the author of Weird Parenting Wins, which was an NPR Best Book of 2019. She is my guest today and here to discuss specifics on how to keep your kid entertained during the lockdown, and how sometimes the best parenting advice comes from the weirdest ideas.

Hi! There are two things I know for sure: This whole thing sucks. And two, people want to know what other people are doing. They want to know everything: what we are eating, watching, how we are keeping busy, what is our routine, all that. I am going to try and connect with you guys during this entire thing as much as possible and I'm giving the people what they want. Check out this episode to see how Timmy, Sonny and I are passing the time and all the other stuff I mentioned above. Hang in there everyone!!

Crazy times. By the time you are listing to this we will be about a week into social distancing depending on when you started. I thought it would probably be best to share how things are going in the Port-Rosenman household. Here is Part 1 of 2 (maybe more) of our Coronavirus Podcast. Listen to find out how we make our new normal feel normal despite Timmy and I not being exactly on the same page.

Timmy and I have been together for almost a decade. We spend almost ALL of our time together.  We fight, but this isn't really about that. This episode is about all the little things that drive us nuts, but we choose not to bring up so we don't get into a fight. These are our pet peeves. We've agreed that this is a safe space where we can air our grievances in a fun way. These are just the tip of the annoying iceberg, so if you guys like this we can certainly produce more! Don't worry though, we love each other the MOST.

I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s disease and it was a completely devastating experience to endure. Once I learned there were preventative measures that could be taken, I knew I had to educate myself further...for me, my family and you! I was introduced to Dr. Lisa Mosconi, an incredibly admirable woman working hard on Alzheimer’s research. She is the Director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and Associate Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she serves as an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology. She is the author of the new book, The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease.

Courtney Carver lives by the mantra “be more with less.” She believes living with less clutter, busyness, stress and simplifying your life will help make room to do what’s truly important to you. I think she is spot on! Whenever I am feeling anxious or overwhelmed I get to work. Timmy taught me that making one's bed and cleaning their room is a great kick start to feeling less anxious. I feel so much calmer when I am organized and able to check things off of my to-do list. During our chat, Courtney explains why she started to live more simply and how it lead her to Project 333, the process of creating and maintaining a manageable capsule wardrobe.     Visit Amazon to get a copy of Courtney's new book Project 333: The Minimalist Fashion Challenge That Proves Less Really is So Much More         Visit www.littlejamesclothing.com and use code WithWhit20 for 20% off

Timmy and I did SO much research before sending Sonny to school. We wanted to make sure we sent him to a place that was the right fit for all of us. As Sonny was wrapping up his time at the Portable Classroom to go to the Montessori School he is now at full time, I had this amazing conversation with Diane Tavenner. She is the co-founder and CEO of Summit Public Schools, a leading network of public schools that operates 11 schools in California and Washington, as well as a free program that enables schools across the U.S. to implement Summit Learning, a nationally recognized personalized approach to teaching and learning. She is also author of Prepared: What Kids Need for a Fulfilled Life. During our chat Diane shares her teaching philosophy and tips for developing daily routines with our kids!

Losing a family member or someone you love is the most devastating thing that can happen to a person. You are left with grief that you have absolutely no control over. I grieve for my dad every single day and think about him constantly. It is a pain I know I will have for the rest of my life. When you lose someone you love, your life changes immediately. Ryan Manion is helping others navigate their new lives of grief. She has dedicated her life to supporting our nation’s military, veterans, and families of fallen heroes. She is inspired by the character, leadership, and sacrifice of her brother 1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Al Anbar province of Iraq while drawing fire away from his wounded comrades on April 29th, 2007. Ryan is here to talk all about grief, The Travis Manion Foundation and her heartfelt new book, “The Knock at the Door: Three Gold Star Families Bonded by Grief and Purpose.” I was so inspired and comforted by our conversation. I hope you are too. Everyone grieves differently, but we all need strong support and love to move forward.
