| Ask Your Kids This One Question with Lisa Nichols (Part 2) | 21 Sep 2025 | 00:13:01 | |
➡️ Get your family talking again ➡️https://bit.ly/lisanichols Welcome back to Part 2 of this deeply personal conversation with Lisa Nichols of Motivating The Teen Spirit. If you joined us for Part 1, you know how powerful and emotional this dialogue has been. In this episode, Vivian Glick and Lisa go even deeper, giving us not just her story but step-by-step guidance on how to create safety, connection, and resilience with our kids and within ourselves. We discuss what emotional safety actually looks like, how to ask your child the one question that can transform your relationship, and the necessary step of lovingly letting go so our kids can grow into who they are meant to be, not who we need them to be. If you've ever thought, "Am I doing this right?" this episode is for you. Key Takeaways • The first step in achieving a life vision is helping teens identify their current feelings and finding their "dot"—recognizing they are not a carbon copy version of anyone else. • Safe space agreements are essential for grounding the family and allowing everyone to feel seen, heard, and honored. • Parents must have the courage to ask their child to rate their relationship on a scale of 1 to 10 and then listen to the response. • When receiving the relationship rating, the parent must hold their emotion in (no crying or anger) to ensure the child feels safe giving an honest answer. • For struggling mothers dealing with identity issues or low self-confidence, programs that focus on filling your cup first and serving from your overflow are critical. • Action is what's going to move you; focus on small, palatable, bite-sized moves.

| How to Stop Passing Your Body Hatred to Your Daughter with Jennifer Joy Jimenez | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:45:27 | |
Here's the thing: 90% of women don't just dislike their bodies. They hate them. And whether we want to admit it or not, we're passing that straight to our kids. Jennifer Joy Jimenez gets it because she lived it. From professional dancer with severe body dysmorphia to transformational health coach, she discovered something most therapists won't tell you: five minutes of freeform dance is more effective than antidepressants. And when our kids are hunched over screens like they're using fentanyl, stuck in their heads and disconnected from their bodies, this isn't just about fitness. It's about survival. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to use movement as medicine for yourself and your anxious kids, and why the daily dose of dance might be the intervention your family desperately needs.

| The Truth About What's Breaking Our Kids (And Us): An Origin Story with Sammy Tagget | 08 Dec 2025 | 00:23:23 | |
So here's the thing: I spent nearly 20 years building hospitals and schools in Uganda, fighting to save adolescent girls from forced marriage and early pregnancy, and then I looked up and realized the biggest battle was happening right in my own living room. In this conversation with Sammy Tagget, I pull back the curtain on how Project Grit and The Bad Mom Podcast were born, and honestly, it's messy. I talk about watching my son Zak's lung collapse minutes after birth, about the miscarriages, and about the night I watched a teenage girl die in childbirth in Uganda. Here's what most parents don't know: the same evil that was stealing childhoods in Africa is stealing them here—it just looks different. It's technology, isolation, and a system designed to break our kids' brains while we're left wondering if we're doing it right. You'll walk away understanding why this isn't just about parenting tips, it's about a resistance movement, and why the first person you need to save is yourself.

| The Warrior Mom Blueprint: Brain Injury and Functional Medicine with JJ Virgin | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:51:49 | |
I remember JJ Virgin telling me years ago that her son Grant said, "I'm just gonna go get hit by a car" — and then he actually got hit by a car. Hit-and-run. Airlifted. Deep coma. Torn aorta. Multiple brain bleeds. Thirteen fractures. The doctors gave him a 0.125% chance of survival, and if he did survive, he'd be so brain damaged "it wouldn't be worth it." But here's what those doctors didn't know: JJ is a triple-board certified nutrition expert who knows more about fortifying the body and brain than anyone I've ever met, and she refused to accept those odds. In this raw, powerful conversation, JJ opens up about how she used everything from high-dose fish oil to essential aminos to rebuild Grant's brain, why she ran hospital stairs every single day to manage her anxiety, and the counterintuitive truth that saved both their lives — she put herself first. Here's what JJ knows that most parents don't: if you go down, everyone goes down. You'll walk away knowing exactly what to do tomorrow when you feel like you're drowning, why gratitude is a choice (not a feeling), and how exercise might be more powerful than any SSRI your kid's doctor wants to prescribe.

| You Can’t Parent Your Child Out of Addiction, Here’s What Actually Works with Christopher Doyle | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:43:50 | |
When your child is spiraling into addiction, the first instinct is to hold on tighter: plead, negotiate, or wait for them to “hit bottom.” But what if those instincts are exactly what are keeping your child in danger? What if addiction isn’t about waiting for readiness, but about stepping in before the fire spreads? As parents, we often believe we’re failing when our kids won’t accept help. We blame ourselves, soften boundaries, or hope things will change on their own. But that thinking is not only wrong, it’s dangerous. Addiction is defined by one simple truth: can’t stop. And someone who can’t stop doesn’t suddenly wake up one morning and choose recovery. They keep going until something or someone interrupts the cycle. Without intervention, the trajectory almost always gets worse, not better. Christopher Doyle knows this from experience, both as someone who battled addiction from a young age and now after decades of helping hundreds of families pull their loved ones back from the brink. His method flips the script on everything we’ve been told about “waiting until they’re ready” and shows parents how to intervene early, with clarity, compassion, and boundaries that stick. How do you know you have an addiction issue on your hands? What actually gets someone to accept help? In this conversation, Chris breaks down the myths that keep families paralyzed, the role of parents in creating leverage for change, and why setting boundaries when your child is in pain is the most loving act you can do. | |||
| Parents Need Recovery Too: The Missing Step to Helping Your Addicted Child with Joe Polish | 17 Nov 2025 | 00:57:28 | |
When we see our kids sinking into anxiety, depression, or even addiction, our first instinct is: “How do I fix them?” We scramble for therapists, schools, treatments, and programs, anything that might help our child get better. But here’s the hard truth: in many cases, it’s not only your child who needs help, you do too. Addiction and mental health struggles rarely live in isolation. They ripple through the entire family system, quietly shaping how we respond, cope, and even enable. Parents often carry just as much wounding, fear, shame, and unprocessed trauma as the kids they’re trying to rescue. And until we confront our own patterns, we risk perpetuating the cycle. In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of Genius Network® and Genius Recovery, Joe Polish. Joe’s worked through the pain of childhood trauma and years of drug addiction. Now he’s building one of the most respected recovery movements in the world. Together, we explore why parents must be part of the recovery process, why control often makes things worse, and how connection, community, and unlearning our own patterns open the path to healing.

| What Parents Get Wrong About Phones, Anxiety & Connection with Sierra Sasevich | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:34:24 | |
Every parent I know worries about the same things: Why won’t my kid put down the phone? Why do they care more about strangers online than conversations at home? Are they losing themselves to comparison, anxiety, and endless scrolling? We set limits, we nag, we fight about screen time. Yet beneath the rules and arguments is a deeper fear: Am I actually reaching my child, or am I losing them to a world I don’t understand? That’s why this conversation is so important. Instead of another expert telling us what’s wrong with “kids these days,” we get to hear directly from one of them. On this episode, I sit down with 19-year-old Sierra Sasevich, who grew up in the very digital landscape we parents worry about. But rather than dismiss adult concerns, she reveals how her generation really experiences phones, comparison, anxiety, substances, and connection. What do parents get wrong about screen time and devices? How can a generation that scrolls for escape learn to live in the present? Sierra takes us into the mindset of this generation, describing the pitfalls, but also highlighting the counterintuitive habits and small choices that actually make the difference. KEY TAKEAWAYS:

| Why Your Kid Can't Listen To You (And How To Break Through) with Dave Asprey | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:54:35 | |
We’ve created a generation that’s overstimulated, overprotected, and underprepared for real life. In this raw and revealing conversation, Dave Asprey — the father of biohacking, four-time New York Times bestselling author, and host of The Human Upgrade Podcast — joins Vivian Glyck to talk about the biology of anxiety and why calm, consistent boundaries are the key to raising resilient kids. Dave explains how fear, ego, and overstimulation are rewiring our children’s nervous systems, and why the solution starts with us. From his “Five F-Words” framework (Fear, Food, F***ing, Friend, and Forgiveness) to the “BICEP” method for resetting dopamine, Dave gives parents a scientific roadmap for leading from peace instead of panic. He doesn’t hold back: “Until you get a job, it’s my rule.”“Your nervous system is your child’s blueprint.” “We’ve created a generation afraid of discomfort — that’s how you kill resilience.” If you’ve ever felt like your child’s anxiety was your fault, this episode will help you reframe the conversation — and retrain your own biology — so you can parent from calm authority, not fear.
