As a recovering people pleaser I talk about what boundaries are, what they're not, how we know if we need them and the steps to take to create the ones that serve us best.
Dr. Tommy Schmolze's vision & perspective on the combined roles of parenting and education is critical in changing the way we all play a role in equipping our kids to navigate the world. He has walked the school hallways as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal and assistant superintendent. He talks with me about the vulnerability needed in parenting, what's missing in education and how to create a partnership between the two to foster the leaders within our kids to thrive.
Lisa shares her story about how she has learned to evolve, be resilient, surrender, take risks and be the "grey rock," when navigating her roles as a business owner, creative, mom, wife, friend and daughter. She speaks openly about the battle of negotiating the "need to please," and self care that includes finding those boundaries and reciprocal relationships that call forth and protect the best of who she is.
My convo with Michelle Gaines was a game changer for me. We dig into the Polyvagal Theory and how to apply it to your daily life experiences, how to self regulate and how to co-regulate with your kids. It's one thing to understand a theory and another to know exactly how to integrate into your daily life. Michelle is a Life Coach that uses the Polyvagal theory as her foundation to help people navigate pregnancy/postpartum, parenting and the challenges and transitions we face daily.

In this episode, Lara talks about how we can build the underrated and underused skill of listening into a superpower. She touches on the levels of listening, where we get stuck, what gets in our way and how to flex our listening muscles to maximize one of the most important relationship builders we have.
Nick & Whitney Runyon are the husband and wife team and founders of The Archibald Project, a nonprofit dedicated to educating and inspiring a global movement to better care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Through the lense of becoming parents, we dig into their journey and experience in adopting three children from the Congo, struggles they have navigated and the humility, faith and community they lean into to grow and sustain their authenticity as a family and couple. They are an unassuming power house of impact in the world.
