We often see our kids with these devices in front of their faces all the time. We are worried that they might lose interest in a lot of other important things because of this. Parents, it is now more vital than ever to get our kids back into the natural world to expand their minds, and let them learn how to connect and communicate with others. This is one of the many reasons why camps are so important to be there for our kids.
With powerful principles, Kathy Farley has taught many young adult leaders about the true essence of leadership. Kathyâs 650 trained leaders have served more than 350,000 young adults. In this episode, she talks about her book Krushing It!, and how camps help grow and nurture the next generation of leaders. Donât miss her inspiring story on how she ended up being the owner of the huge summer camp in Southern California as a single mom.
âIt (camps) promotes self esteem, they learn a sense of community, they learn a sense of commitment and connection which is so lacking these days. Their connectivity with one another, as well as their confidence just booms. The things that they were afraid of when they stepped off the bus on Monday are no longer a fear by Friday.â - Kathy Farley
About our Guest:
Kathy Graves Farley was born into nature in Honolulu, HI and this exposure to the power of the water set the tone for the life that has followed. From an early age Kathy also had a profound interest in proving she could do anything she set her mind to do, and quickly learned that doing things right was the only way to do them.
In her near 30-year tenure as owner of the Ranch, Kathy trained, motivated, managed and supported more than 650 young adult leaders that would impact the lives of a staggering 350,000+ grade school kids; it is simply an astounding number of lives shaped by her philosophies of team, caring, success and leadership involvement.
Now, having sold the Arrowhead Ranch Science School, Kathy is transferring her experience, tools and lessons on accepting the roles of leadership, enjoying the journey and positively impacting both a team and its goals. It is her call to arms for young adults everywhere.
Kathy has published her lessons learned in a motivational book for young adults that takes the âscaryâ out of leadership and empowers young people for great accomplishments and self-actualization, setting them a confident path, for life. Her knowledge learned through tens of thousands of hours developing young leaders is captured in the pages of Kathyâs book âKrushing It!â 7 Keys to Successful First Time Leadership. She shares her high energy, positive and humorous speaking engagements on college and high school campuses. She also continues to do personal coaching for young leaders 18-25 years old, as well as holding workshops for first-time leaders 14 to 25 years in age.
Kathy encourages you to reach out to her for a warm conversation about the importance of putting the right things in place for first-time leaders and her process for assuring their success that has been proven time and again.

Bullying is very rampant in our society. Unfortunately, it has been part of schools for many years. Getting our kids bullied is something that we are really worried about. We all know its danger - it can tear our kids apart. How about the bullies? Have you been called in school because your kid was engaged in bullying? Is there something we can do to make them stop?
Suzanne Jean is on the mission of stopping bullying by creating healthy, confident kids that have no need to control other people to meet their needs. In this episode, she will shed us some light on why bullying exists, and how we can stop it by not just taking care of the bullied, but by taking care of the bullies as well. Suzanne also talks about her unique anti-bullying program called PowerEd, where she teaches self-defense to a bully. Sounds odd to you? Listen and understand why Suzanne created this unique and amazing program.
âI can't stress this enough that to deal with bullying, you have to acknowledge it as being there. It's amazing how conflict-averse people are, they don't want to deal with it. You've got to acknowledge it, and it takes having everybody involved to be part of the solution.â - Suzanne Jean
About the Guest:
As Director of Fit4Defense Ltd, Suzanne conceived and now operates PowerED, a holistic life program that inspires confidence in participants to be heard, safe in the community and free from abuse through assertive communication and self-defense. The life-changing transformations she witnessed while teaching PowerED inspired her to write her powerful book, âBullying Stops Here,â in which she shares the true stories of persons who converted fear into confidence, self-reliance, and positive action through the skills acquired in the program.
With over fifty years of experience in the design, implementation, and accreditation of community-based programs in the social service field, Suzanne currently acts as Quality Assurance Director at Hollyburn Community Services Society. She co-founded the Kettle Society and Watari Research Association serving as Executive Director for each organization for over ten years.
Suzanne has trained in the martial arts since 1975 and teaches karate, tai chi and self-defense. She is an insured member of Karate B.C., holds a National Coaching Certification, a Black Belt in Karate, and in 2014, she passed her Nidan black belt grading.
She is an active instructor of social issues topics related to conflict resolution, workplace violence, leadership team building, service development and working with at-risk populations, and is available for speaking engagements or training sessions. Please contact Suzanne directly at 604-837-6436 for more information, or to book her for your next event.

Thereâs a lot of things going on with the lives of our teenagers - physically, emotionally, socially and psychologically. This is a crucial time to have a conversation with them, and know whatâs going on with their lives. How can we best support our teens right now? How can we start a conversation that would make them feel heard, understood and valued?
The best way to be able to do that is to have courageous conversations with them. What does it mean? "Teen Genie", Elizabeth Bennett, will walk us through some ways on how we can connect and understand our teens as much as we can, so we can help them build self-confidence and create resiliency. NOW is the best time to start courageous conversations with your kids, and be their safe haven in this difficult time.
âThat's the space that kids really appreciate, if they feel like they're being valued, if they feel like they're being listened to, and they're worth something. In the trauma that they're facing right now, it's mind blowing⊠So that's where the conversations are going to be important - to find out what's going on with them, and asking not necessarily always questions, but engaging in extensions of conversation.â - Elizabeth Bennett

Death is one of the big taboo things people never like to talk about, on the contrary, it is something that we SHOULD be talking about! Weâre not here forever. Just like how we should be prepared for the birth of our child, we should also be prepared for our death in the same way.

âNobody likes to talk about it, but we're not here forever. For me that doesn't put me into a rabbit hole of worry, but a rabbit hole of gratitudeâŠIf it's true gratitude, it propels us to movement, to do something bigger than ourselves, and initiate leaving that legacy that lives beyond generations. This piece of blueprint is the first step to that. You get to actually be here with your loved ones, even when you're not here.â - Susan Brown

Every parent grew up in a different family culture. We have different opinions and values on how we will raise our kids. Our parenting style may differ from our spouse. So, how can parents with different values and styles learn to work together in raising their kids?
Relationship expert, Figs OâSullivan talks about how our family relationships growing up, impact how we parent or set our triggers. He also dives into how parents can use empathy to connect with their kids. We should not let our differences confuse and stress out our kids. We should work together and make our kids feel sure and secure.
âI encourage parents to be cultural anthropologists.. Study your own family culture, understand what those values were and see that they're not universally trueâŠOne isn't necessarily right or wrong, they just come from different cultures. You're going to get together, and create your own culture.â - Figs OâSullivan

A lot of kids felt like they were being silenced and theyâre unheard - making them feel unimportant. These are just some of the reasons why parents are struggling about getting their kids to talk to them. We want to feel connected to them. We want to know whatâs happening to them. So, how can we connect to our kids and get them to talk to us?
Our guest, Jackie Bailey founded The Speak Lead Project to help children, youth and adults to Speak with power, Feed others in word and deed, and Lead with positivity. Together with Michelle, Jackie emphasizes the importance of listening to our kids, giving them the time to talk and express themselves. She also gives us some tips on how we can prove to our kids that theyâre important and we want to hear them. Letâs start communicating with our kids in a much better way.
âThat's really counterproductive when we don't give kids the chance to talk about what really matters to themâŠThey do have important things they want to talk about, and their opinions matter just as much as ours do, probably even more in some casesâŠThey have their own experiences to share, and we need to listen to them.â - Jackie Bailey

Are you grieving over the death of your child? No parent in this world is prepared for their childâs death. They never expect to outlive their children. Theyâre looking forward to those days when their children reach their dreams and goals in life. It's very painful to lose a child, but how much more when you lose not just one but two of your children? How can you cope with this loss?
Angela lost her 2 sons when her family got into a fatal car accident in California, while sheâs in Japan for military duty. Her incredible story of resilience, strength, and her strong faith and commitment to God will surely touch your heart. This could give so much help and inspiration to our grieving parents and to our âforgotten grieversâ, our children.
âMost people think that maybe on the other side of the world was the worst place possible. But you know what? I needed to be there for a week in order to hear God's voice. Because if I was home, I would have run somewhere. But in Japan, I had no choice but to be still and know that God is still God. Whenever and wherever there's a crisis, Christ is.â - Angela Alexander
About the Guest:
While I was in Japan on military duty my two eight-year-old sons passed instantly in a car crash. The miracle is God allowed both to write and leave behind incredible good-bye letters.
Now Iâm an Author, Inspirational Speaker & Co-Producer of my documentary film titled, Miracles in Action.

Thereâs a sea of momâs podcasts out there, but just a handful for dads. Our dads also need support. They need a place where they can celebrate the exciting and rewarding things about having kids and about being dads. They also need a place where they can vent out their struggles and express their vulnerability.
Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket started The Modern Dadhood podcast, to set up a community where dads can have a conversation about their joy, their hardships and those insanities of being a dad in this time. Adam and Marc share with us today those knowledge and perspectives they learned by talking to dads of all walks of life. Together with Michelle, they dive into what it means to be a modern dad.
âThe fact that you're aware of it and talking about it and mindful of it, it's all going to work out, you're not going to fail as a parent simply because you're aware of this thing. If we can elevate the conversation about fatherhood, to something that people talk about openly and regularly with that vulnerability that we've been describing, it helps in any way to make people better fathers, better parents.â - Adam Flaherty
About the Guest:

Supporting the kids in getting to school is one of the parentsâ struggles. âHow am I going to support my kids, when I am not very good at it myself?â - some parents ask. Are you having a hard time teaching your kids? You may want to consider getting a tutor for your kids. It will surely take off the pressure.
Our guest expert, Russ Hanush is the founder of STEM Academics and Physics Phor Phun Tutoring. He has built a system and a process to make education less stressful to the children and to the families out there. This episode will help you find the right tutor for your kids to help them get into stressless education.
âGet that tutor in there before there's a problem. A tutor should be part of your educational team. Education is a holistic process. The classes tend to build on themselves, as we go through the grade school levels we're learning our fundamentals. If you don't have a strong basis in your fundamentals at that point, then you start struggling with the next piece of material they're teaching.â - Russ Hanush
About the Guest:
Russ Hanush is the founder of STEM Academics and Physics Phor Phun Tutoring. He's been tutoring high-school and college math and science for over 15 years; online, on-site, and in-home. He served for almost two decades at America's national laboratories in Livermore, CA, working in nuclear physics for the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation program (AVLIS) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and in chemical kinetics at Sandia National Laboratory's Combustion Research Facility. He is also the inventor of The Periodic Table of Dimensions.
In 2006 he opened Physics Phor Phun Tutoring, which eventually grew into STEM Academics. He's dedicated his business to helping families prepare their students for college. By bringing his real-world STEM expertise to teaching he has helped hundreds of families and students achieve their dreams of becoming doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, veterinarians and horse breeders, professional athletes (including major league baseball starting pitcher Spencer Howard, and NFL tight end Josh Oliver), and even a world famous DJ, Max Styler.

Destroying the other one is a big mistake many parents make when they divorce. Talking negatively about someone whom your kids love, will cause them a lot of confusion, and will affect their future relationships. So, how can you talk to your kids about your divorce without attacking the other one?
Controlling your ego will help you detain yourself and put your attention on what's the best thing for your kids. Donât make the kids feel like they had any part in the break up. Listen to Monica Ramirez and Michelle as they talk about how you can control your ego and have that positive parenting through divorce. Remove the guilt and the shame from the kids, talk to them with love.
âI know divorce is hard. The best thing you can do is try to remove your ego. Try to remove your ego and think what is the best I can do for my kids? How can I help them out? Because every act has consequences. Whatever you talk bad about your ex mate, your kid is going to project that later on in life with their future relationships.â - Monica Ramirez.

Kids most of the time are messy, loud and obnoxious, but that's just who they are. We want to stay positive and be gentle, but our expectations on our children as well as on ourselves, becomes our biggest clash. How can we not let all of these triggers, hustles and bustles as well as our traumas interfere with our parenting?
Tune in as Michelle and Klara Sedlacek, an emotional wellness coach, talk about how moms can lessen their expectations to have control on those triggers and pressures in life. This episode will help moms find their missing link - the self-acceptance. Moms, you can turn those tensions into connection - learn to dance with the mess and connect more to your kids!
âWe are so preoccupied like, How do we raise kind children? How do we make sure they are resilient? How do we make sure they succeed? But internally as moms, we carry so much harshness inside towards ourselves. We are trying to wiggle out through that, and show our kids how to be kind, but then we are creating this internal struggle.â - Klara Sedlacek

A lot of marriages have fallen apart, leading to separation and divorce. Divorce is always tough. It dramatically affects everyone in the family, especially the children. Co-parenting doesn't end when the divorce ends, it just begins and will continue for decades ahead. How can you tell your kids about the divorce? How can you prepare and protect your children from the painful impact of the divorce?
Rosalind Sedacca, known as âThe Voice of Child-Centered Divorceâ talks about the ways you can protect your children before, during and long after the divorce. Together with Michelle, they dive into how to deliver the news to the kids in a way thatâs loving and supportive - putting together a positive and less conflictual divorce. They also talk about the challenges of dating after divorce when you're a parent.
âIt's getting out of your ego and putting the kids first. It makes a huge difference. Your kids will thank you when they're grown adults, or they'll be very resentful and hold you responsible for the pain that you caused them unnecessarily. It's not the divorce per se that messes kids up, it's how parents handle the divorce. So we have a responsibility and the ability to do a better job.â - Rosalind Sedacca

It is so important to recognize the impact husbands and fathers have on their wives and on their children. There's a lot of pressure on Dads, considering the weight of their responsibilities in the family. Dads deserve a community to support them, while they are doing their best to keep it all together, and be a great role model to their children.
Kevin Williams started The Legendary Dads Podcast to build a supporting community for Dads , helping them become a âhigh performanceâ Dad whoâs leading his family to a successful and fulfilling life. In this episode, Kevin talks about the importance of leaving a legacy, and how you can be a Legendary Dad in your own home. Moms will also hear some advice from Kevin on how they can support their husbands and together be a Legendary Parents.
âIn terms of being a Legendary Dad, my ambition is to leave such a legacy that my kids, my great grandkids and their children, will talk about this purpose and this process that I initiated with my family, so that I would be a legend in the family treeâŠI do want my family to have everything they need to live an amazing life and to deal with whatever is going to come in the future years.â - Kevin Williams
About the Guest:
Married for 22 years, and Dad to 4 young kids, Kevin is focused on helping Dads be the best they can be for their family. He believes that everything rises and falls on leadership - and it starts on the inside.
Behind this passion for working with Dads, is a heart that cries for the children and wives who are missing out, struggling, or worse, because the men in their lives are not sure that they have what it takes.
He knows from hard-won experience that all Dads have what it takes to provide fully and deeply what their family needs from them. âWhen things are looking rough,â he says, âwe have to hold on to the truth that all of us are capable of far more than we realize. We can see this truth when we stand firm, and don't let the storms of life chase us away from those are counting on us.â
Kevin encourages those who engage with him to take courage, and embrace the challenge of digging deep within to see their true heart; because everything we do - or donât do - in life stems from who we are.

Every parent wants a deep connection with their children while guiding them through life. But sometimes we felt like we canât get that connection, it seems like kids arenât listening. We try to bottle up everything, then suddenly we explode, we yell, we feel guilty. If weâre not yelling, how can we get our kids to listen?
This episode is worth listening to. Yelling is one of the most common dilemmas of parents in raising children. What are the consequences of yelling? What are we actually reinforcing when we raise our voice to our kids? Is it possible to raise a child without raising your voice? What is really happening when parents use positive and negative reinforcement? Michelle and our guest, Rachel Duffy will dive into these questions, and will help you break the cycle of the traditional model of parenting.
âWhen we yell when our children are in a meltdown, our nervous system is in what is called a âDysregulated State'.. Our nervous system flipped the switch to say something dangerous is happening right now. And the only behaviors available in that state are fight, flight, freeze fun. So when we explode on our kids, or when our kids explode, that means we are in a fight state. It's a dysregulated state. To get out of it, yelling is not going to get you out of it". - Rachel Duffy

Death and loss is inevitable. As soon as our kids are old enough to love, to have an attachment to something or someone, they will grieve and mourn for those losses. When is the best time to talk about grief and loss to our kids? Well, the best time to prepare for grief is NOT when the tsunami of heartache is hitting hard.
Today, weâre gonna dive into what our kids need to know about grief and loss. This is something our guest, Shirley Thiessen, a grief coach and educator, wishes herself to know as a young mom. This episode will help to protect your kids from the harshness of loss and pain. Let us also learn how each of us can be a âHope Heroâ in this world full of grief.
âGrief is really hard work, it is exhausting. If we don't absorb the loss, if we don't reconcile it, it's gonna bubble up years later in very unhealthy ways. So it's a beautiful thing to be able to teach our children that we're going to face our pain, we're going to look for ways to learn from it, and to get a meaning or purpose from that painâŠI think pain can teach us how to look out for others who are hurting, and come alongside them.â - Shirley Thiessen
About our Guest:
Shirley Thiessen is co-founder of a grief ministry, CornerBend Ministries in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Through writing and speaking, Shirley serves others as a grief coach and educator. Most people don't know what is helpful to say or do to support their grieving friends. Regretfully, the younger Shirley was one of those people.
Inspired by caring friends who support Shirley as she grieves the loss of her son, she is paying it forward by sharing the transformational power of empathy expressed in life-giving ways.
