Get Your Happy Back isn't about always being happy and flashing your perma-grin everywhere you go. That would be ridiculous ... and weird. It's about inspiring and empowering you to make your happiness a priority and enabling you with thoughts, tools, skills, ideas, and perspectives that might help you get your happy back again and again.

Validation, but not a whole lot of answers. Thanks for coming to my podcast. Hope you leave feeling more seen and heard. But also, what do you need?

Take care, and try hard to not tell your cute and lovely husband to F off, k?

Also, has a beautiful post on this topic if interested.

Can I help you uncomplicate parenting? You know, without being an authoritarian dictator, but also without being a doormat? No drama discipline included. Particularly great for kids with ADHD. Check it out. Share with a MN friend.

Happy to help 🙂 Comment or message us “HALP” and our robot 🤖 will send info.

It’s important to be able to decipher if people want to have a conversation or if they want to be right. It’ll save you a lot of time and energy. This isn’t to say that if this were someone I really cared about I wouldn’t try to have a conversation at some point, just not when I’m not being invited to have one. Ya know??

It’s rough out there. Tend to the part of the garden you can reach; raising empathetic, emotionally intelligent kids with good boundaries counts for a lot.

Comment HALP to have more clarity and less chaos under your roof and our robot 🤖will send more info 🙂

We can do hard things….interspersed with regular reminders that tomfoolery exists. If you currently have the luxury of stepping away and need it to keep up the good fight, here’s your permission slip.

Meet you back here in 30.

It’s time to act. Pbbbbbbbt. But also happy to have a real conversation with anyone in my DMs who’s not calling me a liar and is curious why I see the truth the way I do.

Women live way closer to zero when it comes to s*x drive. Men have 9x the testosterone, so they’re starting at a completely different baseline.

Want to get your female partner closer to bed?
Ask her what she needs.
Or better yet, start taking things off her to-do list to help with the overwhelm.

P.S. We have a workshop all about demystifying s*x drive. Comment or DM us RELATE and we'll send you the link to our membership that contains this course + every other course/workshop I've ever done!

I once had a relative say, “I just don’t know how to talk to you anymore! You’re just so PICKY about how I talk to you 😒”

And I said in a very measured tone, “🤔 Weeelll, I have the same standards for you as I do everyone else on the planet. I expect you to be kind and respectful. If that’s picky, then I guess that’s what I am 🤷‍♀️”

And then there was a lot of uncomfortable silence.

All of that to say, until they’re on board with growth, I guess we’ll be focusing on your uncomfy BOUNDARIES 😩

Resentment is like a slow growing relationship cancer. I would recommend having a low tolerance for it 😉

Is it nice? Is it necessary? Is it with the intent to understand?

If your answer is “NOPE” to any of these, what you’re about to say is likely gonna break one of our family rules.

Whether you’re trying to change people’s minds on the internet (spoiler: disrespect won’t do that) or have less chaos and yelling at home, the strategies inside the Family Rules, Chores, and Systems for Discipline Workshop are for you.

Comment or DM us HALP for more info 🙂

We haven’t addressed this with our 13-yr-old yet. I’m currently more concerned about my older kids getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and needing to be prepared.

🌡️ 1. Teens can handle hard facts. What overwhelms them is:
- Feeling alone with the information
- Feeling like there’s no plan
- Feeling like the adults are hiding something

So, the goal isn’t to shield them —it’s to co-regulate the meaning of what’s happening.

🧭 2. Use the Truth + Context + Agency model. The facts, why it matters, what we can do.

🧠 3. At 16 & 18 they can detect when adults are withholding and fill in the gaps with something worse.

🧩 4. Share facts. Do NOT share:
- catastrophic predictions
- graphic details
- social media panic
- anything framed as “we’re doomed”
- your own unprocessed fear

❤️ 5. Stress isn’t th enemy. A little stress is appropriate. It’s adaptive. It’s protective. It’s honest.

Teach them how to metabolize reality without collapsing under it.

There are “know your rights” printables all over the internet. We delivered those with our talk.
