“I feel overwhelmed and unsupported as a parent.” “Is prioritizing me time selfish?” “How can I break the cycles of trauma and pain in my family?” — As parents, we can often feel torn between caring for our children and caring for ourselves. Both are crucial, and if you don’t balance both, you’ll feel overwhelmed, helpless, and crushed by an unbearable weight. Thankfully, that balance isn’t hard to find, it just takes a little effort. Today, Sophia Mills and Benoit Harpey sit down with Debi Borger, a strength and mindset coach, single mom, and foster parent. Debi shares with us her story of overcoming trauma and building resilience while parenting foster children. She emphasizes the value of self-care, mindset, and community support; reminding us that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. You won’t want to miss this one, so tune in for valuable tips, advice, and learn the key to filling up your cup so you can pour into others’.

“Is there a secret to curing ADHD?” “How can we better support our children through their challenges?” “What am I doing wrong, why isn’t my kid listening?” — ADHD, OCD, ADD. They’re all terms used to define your children as neurodivergent, but often, these occur due to poor lifestyle habits and can easily be resolved. Today, Benoit Harpey sits down with Randall Strain, Air Force veteran and accidental author of “Grumpy Home.” Randall tells us about his own experience parenting children with ADHD, and how he was able to significantly improve their situations by reducing the amount of processed foods in their diets, increasing the amount of time spent outside, and using positive words to help them understand why a healthy lifestyle is important. Tune in today to get useful parenting, nutrition, and lifestyle tips from someone with first hand experience!

“My family and my career are both growing, and I’m having trouble balancing the two.” “Am I messing up my kid’s life by working too much?” “How can I regain time with my family, despite the amount of time I need to spend working?” — Work-life balance. A true struggle, especially when you’ve recently become a parent, and you need to reassess your priorities. You’re not alone in your struggles; in fact, today Sophia Mills speaks with Evan Sophir on this very topic. Evan is a top-rated Florida Realtor and TV Host, but also a husband and, more recently, a father. In addition to all this, he is committed to advocating for foster youth and vulnerable children. When his family began to grow, he had to look at all the things going on in his life, and figure out which were most important to him. He shares with us meaningful moments that taught him important lessons about this careful balance, tells us why advocacy has become such an integral part of his work, and leaves us with some extremely valuable tips for creating a balance that works perfectly for you. Whether you’re a foster parent, caregiver, young parent, or just need help balancing your work and life, this episode is perfect for you. Just remember, it isn’t always perfection that counts; often taking the first step is most crucial.

“How do I build trust with a child who’s learned not to trust adults?” “What is my child’s behavior trying to communicate?” “Am I seeing my child’s pain and fear, or just their actions?” — Parenting is hard, parenting foster youth is even harder. Sometimes it feels like they just won’t trust you, that they block you out and don’t listen to what you say. Sometimes they’re even creating roadblocks for themselves. So, as parents, how can we get past this and change the courses of our children’s lives, and our relationships with them? Today, Sophia Mills sits down with Michael Williams, founder of the SMART DREAMS Movement and CEO of the DASH Foundation. He shares with us his experience with vulnerable youth, explains how setting SMART goals helps set them up for the future, and teaches how parents can improve their relationships with their children so that they can grow, flourish, and learn to trust kids. Tune in today to gain countless valuable insights, great tips, and helpful information!

“I feel torn between my job and my family every day.” “Guilt eats at me when I miss school events or family time.” “Even when I’m home, I’m not truly present.” — Sometimes, it feels like a work-life balance as a parent who’s working a full-time job is out of reach. It feels as if you’re trying to provide for your children, to give them a great life, and in turn you have to sacrifice family time. If that’s you, don’t worry. It isn’t too late, that balance isn’t out of reach. Today, Tonya teaches us, through the story of the Martin family, how we can stop compromising, and instead have time for our careers and our families. It’s going to take time, effort, and it won’t all be sunshine and rainbows. There will be times when it’s difficult and you’re still torn, but there will be a point where it all falls in place, and the balance you find will be all you hoped for. Listen in today for infinitely valuable advice, an inspiring story, and motivation to take the first step to a balanced home life.

“How can I help my children with their trauma, anxiety, and emotional struggles?” “Why do my children struggle so much with self-love, and how can I help them through it?” “How can I help regulate my child’s anxiety?” — Emotions are perhaps some of the most powerful things in the world. To thrive emotionally, you must learn how to control your emotions and use them to help you get through anything life throws at you. Today, Sophia Mills sits down with Veronica Moya, who holds the key to this invaluable knowledge.

Now, Veronica teaches children meditation, starting as young as five years old. In this two-part episode, Veronica shares her experience and insights into how kids’ meditation, empathetic parenting, and emotional intelligence can transform a child’s life, forever.

“How can I tell if a child needs legal help?” “Who speaks up for children who can’t speak for themselves?” “What happens when the system fails a child?” – Sadly, the foster care and legal systems are imperfect. Both have countless faults and could be improved a million times over, and yet the kids who are unwillingly thrown around and abused in all of it often cannot speak up for themselves. Thankfully, today Rylie Heck and Sofia Scher sit down with Paul McBride, who shares his story growing up in the foster care system and then becoming a defender of children’s rights.

Paul is a fierce attorney, specializing in wrongful death and sexual assault, both very common in the foster care system, as well as a passionate advocate for youth who face these challenging situations, being a board member both at AMIkids and right here at Speak Up For Kids. He gives his insight on how legal advocacy protects vulnerable children, how families can ensure that their children’s rights are protected, and ways to advocate for children in your community. He also discusses the largest legal challenges faced by youth, and how to find proper and good representation. Despite this broken system, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it all may start through simple, passionate advocacy. Click play to learn countless tips and tricks and receive additional resources. It’s time to bring justice to the voiceless!
