“What’s something you’ve grown in but at different speeds?”. After collecting listener questions, this question stood out to my husband Bruce. So instead of doing a general Q and A episode (in honor of our 22nd wedding anniversary), we decided to discuss Bruce’s journey in learning how to identify what he is feeling, labeling it and sharing it with others.
Listen to how we learned to process our feelings through church small group. And how we’ve grown as a couple to express those emotions in a healthy way.
“I think a common theme through all of this is just having a really constructive, clear language to talk about things. It is not like any one of these methods solves things. It's not a formula. The more precise and constructive and simple we make this language, the more effective communication can be.”
Here are the cards we reference in the show (see website show notes).

A Lil Help with Boys and Screens :: David Thomas [Bonus]
February 26, 2021
•10m
David Thomas and I talked for SOOOO long in our interview because he's the BEST. The last part of our convo was specific to handling screen time with boys. The DMA team figured we could shorten the main episode by releasing this part separately. Of course, David and I did not cover every angle of managing technology (people write whole books on that topic). But I hope it helps you feel less alone in the struggle and empowered to do a few things:
- Create a Family Media Plan (or at least use the media calculator)--see links below
- Discuss what creative things your family has done outside of screen time. After reminiscing, brainstorm new ideas.
- Ask your son about one of his favorite video games. Perhaps sit down and play one with him. Let me know how it goes.

Supporting Students with Dyslexia :: Kerri Irvin [Ep 317]
March 8, 2021
•55m
When it comes to learning differences and special education diagnoses, it can feel overwhelming and defeating to see your child struggle. My guest Kerri Irvin is a dyslexia specialist who has worked with countless children, teens and adults to help them thrive and embrace their learning differences.
“It amazes me the gifts that God provides for all children, alongside their challenges. For every challenge, an equally important, if not more significant, gift has been provided and their challenges, without fail, are gifts that support them with their talents and make them better learners and people.”
We talk about what dyslexia is, how students with dyslexia learn differently, ways to partner with your child’s teachers to help them succeed, and how to support friends who have children with learning differences. Kerri shares with passion and hope about how dyslexia is not just a learning challenge, but can be a strength.
