  • Ordinary Thursdays!
    Apr 15 2026

    In this episode, we explore the idea of “ordinary Thursdays” and what it means to truly be present for the children in our care. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about the future, but the truth is, who they become is built in the small, everyday interactions happening right now. Join us as we reflect on the power of micro moments, the pull of constant distraction, and simple ways to reconnect with what matters most. Because sometimes, the most meaningful growth happens in just a few intentional minutes. We hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Lessons to My Younger Parenting Self
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode, we reflect on the lessons caregivers wish they had known across every stage of the journey — from surviving the sleepless birth-to-three years to navigating friendships and phones in high school to trusting your young adult to make their own choices. Featuring insights gathered from real caregivers in our community, the discussion highlights how the hard seasons pass, every stage has something beautiful waiting on the other side, and you really can't care more about something than your child does. This episode is more about grace, perspective, and growing alongside your kids one stage at a time. We hope you enjoy the episode.
