Raising the Next Gen PodcastE10: Chores, Connection, and Curbing the ClicksWhat if chores weren’t just a necessary evil—but a hidden opportunity to connect with your kids, take time back, and curb the clicks?
As summer routines kick in, I explore how simple shifts—like blasting a family playlist while cleaning or trying new recipes together—can turn chores into something a little more fun.

Raising the Next Gen PodcastE3: Breaking Stereotypes - Raising Teens Doesn't Have to Be HardIn this episode of Raising the Next Gen, I speak with Dr. Julia Sen, the "Possibility Psychologist™," about breaking the stereotype that the teen and tween years must be a difficult stage in parenting.
A major theme in this episode is the idea of being a “pattern breaker” or a “generational cycle changer.” Many of us were raised with discipline methods rooted in shame, compliance, and external validation. However, research and lived experience show that nurturing emotional intelligence and resilience in our children requires a different approach. By validating their feelings and modeling self-regulation, we create a foundation...2025-03-3050 minRaising the Next Gen PodcastE2: Encouraging Safe and Healthy Tech Habits for KidsScreen time battles?
