I am so excited to get to share this honest Mom-chat with my friend Jessica Smartt. I have loved Jessicas books (links to them over in my show notes) and getting to know her in real life a couple years ago, and I appreciate her wisdom, conviction, and humor. I think you'll enjoy getting to know her too!
In todays episode Jessica shares three helpful parenting goals for sibling relationships, and then we go on to cover questions I have received from Instagram messages and emails. We cover a lot! -- From what to do about a mean sibling, to how to handle competitionWhen parents should get involved vs. when to let kids sort things out on their own, and more! I think youll find this practical and helpful. (And I think were going to need a part 2! -- Let us know if you agree over in show notes!)

We all want our kids to have good character, but we dont always consider how crucial character
is to our kids future success. In todays interview, former multi-billion-dollar investment
manager, Dennis Trittin, helps us connect the dots and find even more motivation for raising kids
of character.
After over 30 years managing investments and studying successful leaders all over the world,
Dennis shifted his focus to sharing what he had learned with the next generation. Writing books
and speaking to students, parents, and educators, Dennis is passionate about inspiring the next
generation to embrace the kind of character that will help them get jobs, (and not get fired from
them!) nurture healthy relationships, and live happy, fulfilling lives. Today we draw from his
book, What I Wish I Knew at 18: Life Lessons for the Road Ahead.

This week we kick off a month + of most-requested parenting topics. Were going to cover some hard topics and some hot topics. Today we kick it all off with a topic important for every parent: Raising mentally strong kids!
My guest, Lauren Gaines, has a background in school psychology and has taught at the University level. More recently Lauren began wearing the title of homeschool Mom.
In todays interview Lauren tells us about the cognitive triangle, how to help kids take captive their thoughts and the power of metacognition (thinking about what youre thinking about.) With relatable examples and ideas you can try at home, today (!) I think youll find a ton of practical help in this conversation!
