How to Prevent Jealousy Among Siblings

Envy and jealousy are natural responses to the human tendency to compare ourselves to others. But when left unchecked, when we allow them to fester and we hold onto them, these feelings can cause problems within our families. Left to grow over a long period of time and they can cause sibling rivalries and broken relationships that continue way into adulthood.

{Rebroadcast} Lyli Dunbar on Loving the Difficult People in our Life

Every single one of us has difficult people in our lives. You know, those pesky people that never behave the way we want them to, who suck the life out of you. I prefer to to just avoid them but that’s not always an option. Sometimes we just need to dig our heels in and love them.

Ep. 99 | Janice Scholl on Money, Career, and Motherhood

Money can be an uncomfortable thing to talk about. Many moms would say that talking about money, career, and motherhood together is complicated. While other moms might say, it's unladylike or taboo to talk about how much money you make or how you spend it. But maybe the reason so many women lack confidence in handling finances, both their business and personal life, is that they are not talking about it enough.

Ep. 98 | Sophie Hudson and Breaking Free from Comparison and People Pleasing

What does it mean to show up in your life, right now, in this season? The things that we have counted on in the past to keep me emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy have all but disappeared. And the ways we’ve done life as a family, they are no longer options. We have a choice to make. We can bide our time or, as this week’s guest likes to say, we can “Stand All the Way Up”?

Ep 97 | Valli Gideons on Setting the Bar High So Your Children will Rise

There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to families. The diversity of family types, interests, beliefs, and values are endless. As first-time parents, you may know what you want your family to look like. But then often, things change, and it isn’t what you imagine. So what do you do then? You can choose to get stuck and stay in a place of discontent or regret... or you can pivot.

Ep 96 | Our Family's Post Quarantine Conversation

Back in March, everything changed. We went from living our "normal" lives to schedules wiped clean and social isolation, except for the people who live with us, being thrust upon us. Now that it is starting to feel like things are getting back to normal I thought it would be a great time to reflect on the experience with the Post Quarantine Conversations Starters I created.

Our family stories directly influence how we see ourselves because they create a narrative for our family’s culture. They give us an idea of where we come from and how we fit into our family. Knowing, recording, preserving, and sharing your history directly impacts you, your family, and even future generations.

Ep 93 | Dr. Wendy O’Connor on How Making Decisions Ahead of Time Leads to a Happy Family

Studies show that when things are going well, making a decision is easier. However, at the end of a long day, or on the other end of a trying time, making decisions can feel heavy and hard. This is called decision fatigue. The way we can avoid this is not by making less choices but by making many of our choices ahead of time.
