  • Too many ads

    Love this podcast! I do not care for the addition of multiple ads this season. I guess that’s the price of popularity.

  • Women Can Camp Now

    I love this podcast and both of you are amazing! Do either of you go back and listen to the podcasts? Honestly, I had to stop this one early because Steve was saying “like” way too much. As much as I love him, I just couldn’t. Sorry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5E8 'TIS THE SEASON OF (NOT) BEING ASKED
Q: If your child is the one who is left out, how do we navigate that at home?
Jameson says not to dismiss the child's hurt. Help them generate an alternative plan or invite other friends while they are too upset to reason through options on their own.
S5E8 'TIS THE SEASON OF (NOT) BEING ASKED
Q: How do I navigate group costumes when someone is likely to be left out?
Jameson recommends choosing flexible costume themes that can include more people, and asking questions about how the group formed before agreeing to buy a costume.
S5E5 BETH IS BACK! TOO EXHAUSTED TO MANAGE CONFLICT
Q: How do you handle conflict in front of kids without teaching them poor behavior?
Use self-regulation to wait until calmer, mirror back to slow the interaction, and use 'story I'm telling myself' language to express feelings without accusing. Then discuss subsequent steps to prevent recurrence, modeling healthy resolution.
S5E4 HEALTH CHECK FOR YOUR MARRIAGE
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to improve intimacy with their partner?
Create a seven-minute daily connection, build a love-language aware list, and share appreciations; prioritize intentional time and communicate needs openly rather than letting resentment build.
S4E9 VERIZON TECH CONTRACT
Q: What is the purpose of the Family Tech Agreement?
It serves as a practical starting point for families to discuss expectations around devices, establish rules, and build healthy tech habits by putting agreements in writing and reviewing them together.
