1090: [Part 2] Do This, Not That: 10 Alternatives to Yelling by Jen of This Time of Mine on Compassionate Parenting

1090: [Part 2] Do This, Not That: 10 Alternatives to Yelling by Jen of This Time of Mine on Compassionate Parenting

Jen of This Time of Mine shares 10 alternatives to yelling for parents. This is part 2 of 2.

Episode 1090: [Part 2] Do This, Not That: 10 Alternatives to Yelling by Jen of This Time of Mine on Compassionate Parenting

Jen is a busy mom to four energetic kids and between taking care of them, running the household and trying to keep up with everything else she does and enjoys, she’s often found herself fantasizing about the moment she can finally sit down for the night. But through it all, she’s found that she’s happiest when she’s intentional in her approach. And even though it’s not always easy, she knows when she parents and lives her life on purpose, that’s when she can make the biggest difference for her children.

She founded This Time Of Mine to use as a platform to teach as many parents as will listen. She wants to meet you where you are and help you fall in love with parenting all over again.
Because she knows how hard it can be.
She also knows that when we learn to parent and live with intention, we can create more good times than bad. We can help our children WANT to do what’s right. And we can become the role model that walks along beside them.

1074: [Part 2] 4 Terrible Reasons to Get Married (And 4 Really Good Ones) by Mark Manson on Questions Before Marriage

Mark Manson shares 4 terrible reasons to get married, and 4 really good ones. This is part 2 of 2.

Episode 1074: [Part 2] 4 Terrible Reasons to Get Married (And 4 Really Good Ones) by Mark Manson on Questions Before Marriage

Mark Manson was a full-time professional dating coach for men from 2008 until 2011. Sick of the industry, he wrote his first book, Models: Attract Women Through Honesty, and changed the name and focus of his business to address broader self-development topics for men. The book took off, selling tens of thousands of copies. As he branched out into deeper issues of masculinity, self-worth, and the changing cultural landscape, the site grew.
By 2013, he had begun writing about larger cultural issues — gender relations, happiness, ambition, life purpose, and cultural perspectives he had gathered while living in various countries around the world. Despite the fact that the business was still directed at men, thousands of women began reading and asking for advice as well.
That same year, he made the leap to his own site and domain, broadening the demographics of his audience. The site exploded, garnering millions of views each month.
Check out his book: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F---.

After years in the financial services industry, Liz Davidson became disgusted with how many people were being sold financial products and services that were not in their best interest.

This is the story of Financial Finesse and how they give employees and employers unbiased financial wellness as an employee benefit. They help your employees maximize their compensation and benefits by making better financial decisions.
