  • 211 // Defining and Living Your Family Values - with Adriane Thompson from Raising Kids with Purpose
    What if your family’s values could help you feel calmer, more connected, and less overwhelmed—especially when life feels chaotic? This week, I’m joined by Adriane Thompson, certified parenting coach and founder of Raising Kids with Purpose. Adriane helps parents understand the why behind their child’s behavior and build a home culture rooted in connection. As a mom of three neurodivergent boys, Adriane knows firsthand how challenging it can be to stay grounded when emotions run high. She shares how defining her family’s values—like safety and kindness—became an anchor point during meltdowns, transitions, and everyday stress. In this episode, Adriane walks us through: 🌿 Why defining your family values gives you a “home base” when things feel messy or unpredictable 🌿 How to host a fun family meeting (yes, pizza can be involved!) to define your core values 🌿 Practical ideas for weaving those values into daily routines—like creating rituals, songs, or reflection moments with your kids My favorite takeaway? You’re probably already living out your family’s values—you just may not have written them down yet. Once you name them, it’s so much easier to align your time, energy, and parenting choices with what truly matters most. Adriane is a certified parenting coach living in Surprise, Arizona, with her husband, three energetic boys, and two Aussiedoodles. She’s passionate about helping parents navigate challenges with a connection-based approach. Adriane has a talent for breaking down complex topics like neurodevelopment, emotional regulation, attachment, and family culture into relatable and impactful strategies.

  • 209 // Manage Your Time with Purpose - with Anna Dearmon Kornick from It’s About Time Podcast
    So many of us feel like we’re always behind, convinced that the right planner or app will finally fix our schedules. But as Anna Dearmon Kornick - time management coach, author of Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity , and host of the It’s About Time podcast - explains, true time management doesn’t start with hacks. It starts with clarity on what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like your priorities are slipping through the cracks, this episode is packed with encouragement and strategies to help you manage your time with purpose. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why purpose — rooted in your vision and values — is the foundation of time management How time blocking helps combat Parkinson’s Law, the planning fallacy, and context switching Why creating an “ideal week” matters more than aiming for a “perfect day” Five essential routines that support a well-managed life A step-by-step approach to weekly planning — even when you’re overwhelmed More about Anna: A true Louisiana firecracker who has become known for making time management fun, Anna helps busy professionals and business owners struggling with overwhelm manage their time using her personality-driven HEART Method.
