In this episode, I share 5 powerful ways to bring meaning back into our kidsâ livesâtools that go beyond screen limits and behavioral strategies to touch something deeper.
We explore how to:
1. Create a sense of belonging by grounding children in something bigger than themselvesâstarting with simple, meaningful family rituals.
2. Offer real-life participation, not just passive entertainmentâgiving them time to be present, connect with others, experience flow states, and live beyond the screen.
3. Encourage the pursuit of meaning, not just comfortâteaching them to follow what challenges and grows them, rather than what feels easy or pleasurable in the moment.
4. Shift our mindset by believing that kids are anti fragile and that adversity can lead to growthânot just trauma or disorder.
5. Lead with grounded authorityâclaiming our role as guides and mentors who help our children rise to their potential and contribute their gifts to the world.This conversation is a reminder that meaning doesnât just happenâitâs built through intentional choices, deep connection, and courageous parenting.

Our society has undergone a radical transformationâfrom one rooted in hierarchy, authority, and tradition to one that celebrates openness, equality, and emotional authenticity. In this episode, I explore how political and cultural movements like the New Left, along with the rise of secularism, commercialism, and therapeutic thinking, reshaped the way we relate to authority, structure, and ultimately, how we parent. What happens when the old frameworks fall away, and nothing clear takes their place? Join me as we unpack the historical and ideological shifts that helped create the meaning crisis affecting todayâs childrenâand how it all traces back to the world we've built around them.

In todayâs episode, we explore a powerfulâand often uncomfortableâtruth: judgment-free parenting is not what our children need.
In a world lacking a clear moral compass, our kids are growing up surrounded by overwhelming information, conflicting influences, and voices that often lead them away from wisdom, discipline, and values. While empathy is essential in parenting, it cannot replace moral clarity.
We dive into:
Why empathy alone can become a trapThe danger of assuming kids will âfigure it outâ without guidanceHow to help our children distinguish right from wrong in a confusing worldThe importance of modeling delayed gratification and value-based decision-makingWhy our children need us to be confident moral leadersânot just emotionally supportive figuresWe also discuss the balance:
How to guide without being rigidHow to stay in honest communication with our kidsThe importance of personal growth as parents so we can lead by exampleWhy a strong, respectful relationship with our children is the foundation for real influenceThis episode is both a call to courage and a gentle reminder: Your children are looking to you to leadânot just to understand.
đ§ Listen now and reflect on what kind of leader your child needs you to be.

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I sit down with Fraida ShustermanâOrthodox Jewish mother of 11 and a woman of remarkable perspective and strength. Fraida shares her family's journey, including raising a child with Rett syndrome, and how focusing on gratitude, resilience, and proactive growth has shaped her outlook on life.
Drawing from Jewish wisdom, Kabbalah, and her lived experience, Fraida discusses the critical role of parenting in preserving Jewish values, how to raise children who can navigate life's challenges, and why rituals, traditions, and a sense of higher purpose are essential for emotional stability and meaning.
This conversation is a reminder that challenges are not endpointsâthey are invitations to build, to deepen our connection to God, and to live with greater purpose and joy.
In this episode, we discuss:
How Fraida and her family embrace gratitude even amid life's toughest challengesThe concept from Kabbalah of looking forward and being proactive during hardshipThe Jewish approach to parenting and the three core life skills parents must teach:How to "swim" through life's watersLearning a trade or skillPreparing for marriage and emotional maturityWhy modeling values is more powerful than preaching themParenting each child according to their unique way ("Teach the child according to his way")How Jewish traditions and rituals create stability, belonging, and emotional resilienceWhat it means to discipline from a soul-centered, Torah-based perspectiveHow to maintain connection and faith when children choose different pathsThe importance of living every moment as a teaching opportunity through Torah values -
Inspired by John Vervaekeâs Course âThe Premise of Beautyâ on Peterson Academy
In this deeply reflective solo episode, we dive into how our childrenâs mental health crisis is, at its root, a meaning crisis. Drawing on the insights of philosopher and cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, we explore how the loss of cultural depth, the dominance of the "having mode," and the narrowing of our ways of knowing have led to a disconnection from beauty, wisdom, and the sacred.
đ The Crisis in Numbers
1 in 6 kids experience a mental health disorder annuallyOver 10% diagnosed with ADHDSelf-harm ER visits among girls up 188%Suicide rates among adolescents skyrocketingđĄ Core Themes in This Episode
Why our kids are not just overwhelmed, but existentially unanchoredThe cultural shift from communal belonging to isolated individualismHow beauty, ritual, and depth have disappeared from our children's livesErich Frommâs distinction between having mode and being modeThe 4 types of knowing (propositional, procedural, perspectival, and participatory) and why only focusing on facts leaves our kids emptyđż What Our Kids Need to Thrive
Participation in meaningful activities (not just consumption)Flow states through free play, art, and creativityRich relationships that require empathy and perspective-takingRituals that help shape identity, values, and belongingTime to beâwithout screens, without rush, without outcomesđ Reclaiming the Imaginal
Why becoming, not just imagining, is where true growth happensHow the âSolomon Effectâ and third-person perspective build wisdomThe role of sacrifice, struggle, and mystery in meaningful developmentđ§ Why This Matters in the Age of AI
AI excels at propositional knowing, but lacks imagination, perspective, and participationOur childrenâs humanityâwisdom, agency, creativityâmust be cultivated, not downloadedâš Key Takeaways
Mental health isn't just about treatmentâitâs about reconnecting to meaningRituals, beauty, flow, and play are not luxuriesâthey're necessitiesWe must let our kids be in the world, not just consume itđ Final Message: Let your kids be kids. Let them experience awe, struggle, connection, and growth. Let them participate in life. That is how they will build identity, meaning, and strength to meet the futureâwith or without AI.

In this powerful episode, we explore why so many modern parentsâespecially in the millennial generationâfeel like theyâve lost their authority. We unpack the cultural shifts that led us here: from authoritarian upbringings to the rise of therapeutic parenting, gentle approaches, and fear of judgment in a multicultural, morally relativistic society.
But have we gone too far?
We discuss how authority became synonymous with oppression, why permissiveness is not the solution, and how children actually thrive when there is clear, benevolent leadership in the home.
Youâll learn:
The root causes of the "authority crisis" in modern parentingThe consequences for kids: confusion, anxiety, identity strugglesThe impact on parents: guilt, doubt, and burnoutHow to reclaim your role as a loving leader in your familyPractical steps to build a strong family culture, set boundaries with confidence, and raise grounded, resilient kids in a chaotic worldđ Key Topics Covered:
Why gentle parenting sometimes goes too farHow permissiveness undermines connection and safetyWhat real, benevolent authority looks and feels likeCreating a home culture with values, rituals, and rootsHow kids thrive with structure, guidance, and spiritual meaningParenting in a society without shared moral foundationsWhy Israel offers a powerful cultural contrast to Western trendsđšâđ©âđ§ For Parents Who:

In this episode, we sit down with Ben Cheekâspiritual guide, educator, and Executive Director of Camp Deerparkâto explore how spirituality can be a transformative force in our lives, families, and communities. With over 20 years of experience in multicultural and grassroots contexts, Ben shares how he and his wife are raising their children in a spiritually grounded homeschooling environment they call The MĂĄgouloâs School for the Spiritually Gifted.
We dive into powerful themes like the role of shame in modern life, the limitations of purely psychological approaches to healing, and the deep need to integrate spiritual wisdom into our parenting, education, and personal development. Ben's perspective is rooted in the belief that true healing and empowerment come from aligning with a spiritual sense of purposeâand helping the next generation do the same.

In this episode, I address a common fear many parents haveâthe worry that they are going to mess up their kids. This belief is rooted in false assumptions about the nature of children and mental health.
I take a deep dive into these assumptions, breaking them down and offering alternative perspectives that can bring more freedom to our parenting journey. By shifting our mindset, we can learn to trust our kids, recognize their resilience, and understand that they can handle adversityâeven when it comes from us.
Their mental health is shaped by much more than whether or not we "traumatize" them. Join me as I explore a broader, more empowering view of parentingâone that helps us release unnecessary guilt and embrace our role with confidence.

In this solo episode, we explore the unintended consequences of modern parenting, particularly the risk of overprotection. We discuss how resilience is built through overcoming challenges, not by avoiding them. Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and personal experiences, this episode challenges parents to strike a balance between nurturing and allowing their children to develop emotional strength.
Key Topics Covered:
The shift in parenting philosophies: from neglecting emotions to overcorrecting with overprotection.The dangers of over-pathologizing normal childhood emotions.Differentiating between "Big T" and "small t" trauma (Gabor Maté).Why adversity, when properly managed, is essential for resilience.The contrast between pleasure and meaning in long-term happiness (Jonathan Haidt).The role of responsibility and sacrifice in building a meaningful life (Jordan Peterson).The concept of post-traumatic growth and how struggles can lead to wisdom and gratitude.Key Takeaways:
Protecting children from all hardship leaves them emotionally fragile.Therapy and self-awareness are important, but labeling all struggles as trauma can be counterproductive.Encouraging independence, responsibility, and long-term thinking fosters resilience.Meaning and responsibility, rather than comfort, lead to genuine happiness.Parents should aim for a balanced approach: providing both security and opportunities for challenge.Practical Parenting Strategies:
Balance Safety and Challenge â Give kids age-appropriate independence while maintaining a secure base.Normalize Struggles â Teach kids that setbacks and difficulties are part of growth, not failures.Encourage Meaning Over Instant Gratification â Foster a mindset of long-term fulfillment rather than short-term pleasure.Help Kids Process Experiences Constructively â Use storytelling and reflection techniques to help children build resilience.Foster Responsibility â Assign responsibilities that allow children to contribute meaningfully to their environment.Resources Mentioned:
Bad Therapy by Abigail ShrierThe Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt12 Rules for Life by Jordan PetersonThe Whole-Brain Child by Daniel SiegelFinal Thought:
Rather than shielding children from all difficulties, we should equip them to navigate life's inevitable challenges. Strength, resilience, and lasting happiness come not from avoiding hardship, but from learning how to overcome it.

In this episode, I sit down with Anat Zuria, an acclaimed Israeli filmmaker and deep thinker, to explore a significant factor in the maternal mental health crisis overwhelming American mothers todayâunrealistic expectations. We discuss the harmful narratives and societal pressures that leave mothers feeling inadequate and burned out, and Anat offers a powerful antidote: realistic compassion. While compassion is essential, she emphasizes that it must exist within a framework of realistic, sustainable expectations for mothers.

In this episode, we explore thespiritual journey of parentingâhow raising children is also an opportunity for our own growth and evolution. Every experience we go through serves a purpose, and sometimes, it is through feeling lost that we begin to truly find ourselves.
Growth is always happening, even when itâs not immediately visible. Just like nature, much of our transformation takes place beneath the surface. As we evolve, the way we engage with others shifts because we can only give what we hold within ourselves. This is why embracing change is so essentialâby staying open and curious, we allow ourselves to grow alongside our children. Questioning our beliefs and expectations, especially about parenting, helps us remain fluid and adaptable, recognizing that our childrenâs journeys are uniquely their own.
Being present and mindful is a powerful tool in both parenting and life. The only moment we truly have isnow, and by using our sensesâtouch, smell, and feelâwe can fully embrace and appreciate what is in front of us. Parenting from a place of trust and openness allows us to meet our children ateye and heart level, respecting their intuition and wisdom from an early age. Itâs a delicate balance betweenaccepting who they are while also challenging them to grow, helping them navigate lifeâs inevitable challenges as opportunities for transformation.
Boundaries play a crucial role in this process. They are not rigid rules butflexible, evolving guidelines that help children develop a strong sense of self. Encouraging them to listen to their emotions and bodily signals empowers them to make healthy decisions and establish their own boundaries. At the same time, as parents, we must recognize when we need support, allowing ourselves to rest and recharge so we can continue to create a safe and nurturing environment for our children.
At the heart of it all, life is meant to be enjoyed.The more we embrace joy, trust, and love, the more life gives it back to us. So letâs not take ourselves too seriouslyâletâs embrace the journey, knowing that we are growing just as much as our children are.
Iâd love to hear your thoughtsâwhat part of this episode resonated most with you? đ

In this solo episode, I explore the growing mental health crisis among children and argue that a key reason behind it is the loss of meaning in our society. Without a strong sense of purpose, identity, and connection, our kids are struggling more than ever.

The teen years may seem terrifying, as our kids start to step away from our sheltering presence and turn outwards, beginning to learn who they truly are.
These years can be filled with rupture and disconnection BUT they can also be a great time for connection and growth for the parent and the child!
Listen on in this important conversation I had with Cheryl Pankhurst where we talked about ways to have a great experience when parenting teens and enjoying those years of deeper connection to our kids before they shift into adulthood.
We want to make sure we nurture the best connection we can before they leave the nest and start their own life journey, so they will know that even when they leave they always have a safe place to come back to!
Here are Cheryl's info if you'd like to connect with her:

Her podcast has truly evolved from the original âvisionâ because Cheryl soon realized that our families do not need a diagnosis in order to need support and that the work we need to do starts with us as the caring adults in our teens world. What sets her apart from the rest is her knack for thinking outside the box and finding creative solutions. Cheryl is also the mom of 2 incredible adults, the only child of her widowed mom and just found her soulmate at just the age of 54!

There is a misconception about what colleges are looking for, and it has a devastating effect on the way we educate our kids!
We think that they are looking for people who are top of the class in grades, who excel in sports, and do all the "right" after-school activities, but is that true?
In the podcast episode, I interview Anne Johnson, she is an education coach and she guides people to find their educational path,
after 13 years working as a high school counselor, she has a deep understanding of how to guide kids to find the right path for them and assist them in pursuing their desires.
