What would you give to not have your kids or stepkids argue, fight or resist going to bed every night?
I remember when our kids were young, there were times when it seemed to take forever to have them go to bed, let alone fall asleep. Bedtime meant alone time for me and my husband not to mention the health benefits of our kids, making sure they had enough sleep.
On Today’s podcast, I’m talking with Brook Packard, a writer, musician and an early childhood educator who created the Sleepytime Club which makes bedtime simple for families, helping parents reclaim their evenings. She believes bedtime is the first, best habit; a moment of grace to us every single night; and that we can change the world for the better by using this time to care for ourselves and our families and communities.
You can learn more about Brook at sleepytimeclub.com.

Having a baby is one of the most precious event a woman can go through. It’s life changing. But when you're faced with postpartum depression, that joy can be taken away from you and the family.
Postpartum is a topic that not many women care to talk about. It seems so unmotherly. Yet as Leslie McKeough, a licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in postpartum adjustment and perinatal loss shared with us, close to 90% of women today will suffer some form of postpartum depression.
Leslie's approach combines support, education and counseling. She often works with women and their partners in the recovery process as postpartum difficulties affect the whole family. She also has several years experience working with adolescents and families.
If you or someone you know suffers from postpartum depression, go to www.corevalu.com or visit https://www.postpartum.net/ to find out where you can get help today.

Do you feel like your stepkids or the ex have done you wrong and you have a hard time letting go? Are you feeling bitter and resentful at how your life is turning out?
Maybe it's time to think about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not about letting the others walk all over you, or to let them get away with their bad behaviors or action. For starters, forgiveness is letting go of the pain and sting that the person's actions have done against you. Forgiveness is an act of self love.
Forgiving another person is probably one of the hardest things we might ever have to do.
If you're in a place where you are tired of feeling the wait of the anger and resentment on your shoulders, this is the show for you.
Taylor Tagg is the author of the book "The Path To A Peaceful Heart" and a Forgiveness Educator and Facilitator at The Midwest Institute for Forgiveness Training

For many stepmoms, Mother's Day is a difficult day for them. It's a reminder that the man they love has kids with another woman, whom the kids call mom and often want to spend the day with her.
Most likely, you do a lot for your stepkids, just like a regular mom. The only difference, is you get not recognition or appreciation for what you provide to the family.
In this podcast, I share my very first Mother's Day as a stepmom and how, with each passing year, my relationship with my stepdaughters got better.
How are you planning on celebrating this Mother's Day? What are some of your challenges and struggles attached to this day?
Leave a comment below and I'll gladly respond.

With Lisa Honold and Claudette Chenevert
I’ll admit, I “spied" on our kids while they lived in our home, especially during their teen years. There was nothing fun or exciting about snooping on what our kids did on the internet (which by today's standards would be seen as primitive), going through their stuff to make sure they weren’t doing anything illegal or immoral.
This was one area where my husband and I strongly disagreed on whether it was OK for me to spy on our kids or not. And he’s not the only one. Recently, I asked my Facebook followers if they spied on their kids and the responses were from Absolutely to Never and everything in between.
Now if I changed the word from spying to monitoring, then the response was different. Even my husband was more on board with the thought of monitoring our kids and seeing this as being responsible parents.
So what’s the difference between spying and monitoring? Lisa and I talk about this in our video and what best tools to use to help you monitor your children without being invasive.

Celebrating all day long the amazing women that help up make a difference in our world, encourage and embrace gender equality, and teach others what that looks like. Here is a video that two of my colleagues and I created, sharing our thoughts and wisdom about what Women's Day means to us.

“Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.”Lois Wyse
For far too long, our societies have misappropriately fused sex with gender to the point of creating a hierarchy among the sexes.
Boys are disciplined to present themselves as stoic, while girls are to portray themselves as emotional. Because of the association between emotionless and strength, and sensitivity and weakness, society often places men above women. Men are associated with strength, and women with weakness.
And this has trickled down to the workforce. sports, schools, among other places. where girls and women alike are not as valued for their worth. It's changing, yes....slowly.
How has this impacted our past, our future and what empowering ways can we show up and go forward as a whole society where our girls no longer feel less than?Like this Poscast? Share it with other that might need a pick-me-up or some inspiration as to how to be a stronger and healthier stepmom.

Many stepmoms share they wished they had a better relationship with their stepkids but it's not happening. It can be hard for stepmoms when the stepkids are not interested in creating any type of relationship with them.
This can be even more difficult if the stepmom has no support from her spouse or partner. So what's a stepmom to do?
In this video, I explains a few reasons your stepkids might not want to bond with you as a stepmom and what you can do to start bridging that gap, one step at a time.
I'd love to hear what are some of the struggles you have as a stepmom (or stepdad) and share in the comments below.

Ever had someone get angry at you and then blame you for the way they felt? A while back, I did a video called " Before You Engage In An Argument With Your Spouse" and a viewer asked me what to do when your partner purposefully makes you angry.
There are many reasons why we get angry. It can be because we're hungry, tired, overwhelmed or again we are angry because we feel hurt, afraid, alone.
In this video, I shared my story of getting angry at my husband and our kids and what are some of the solutions to help you in these types of situation.

When you awake up in the morning and look in the mirror, do you start pointing out all that is "wrong" with you? Are you comparing yourself with others, maybe the ex, your friends, co-workers, maybe even your siblings?
In this episode, I have a conversation with Sharons ES from Midlife Women Dancing With Change about comparing ourselves to others and what it does to us.
We also share our thoughts & suggestions of letting go of the concept of "What's Wrong With Me?"
