About this Episode

Albert Einstein is often credited as saying, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The quote’s true origins are unknown, but the sentiment has a Facebook-shareable quality to it and has gained traction as modern attitudes toward education grow and shift.

In this episode we chat with the author of The Brave Learner and Raising Critical Thinkers, Julie Bogart. Julie draws on years of research and experience to discuss the flaws in our educational system exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. School closures and distance learning have also offered families an opportunity to evaluate the direction of today’s schooling practices, and many agree: It’s time for change.

Topics Covered:

The longstanding vulnerabilities in our educational system and the harm ultimately caused by standardized testing and teaching practices
The uptick in homeschooling that has resulted from the pandemic and continues even as restrictions lift
How can parents help cultivate a dynamic and diverse learning experience for children?
Training our own critical thinking skills by interrogating our gut reactions
Why it’s good to disagree
Technology’s role in learning and the importance of unplugging regularly

Goal-setting and What Works with Tara McMullin

When we set goals for ourselves, it’s easy to get ambitious. Maybe sometimes a little too ambitious. So we break big goals down into smaller tasks, we create systems for accountability and progress-tracking, but is this really the answer? When a goal seems to require an entire personality overhaul, it’s time to reevaluate. Today’s guest, Tara McMullin, offers her refreshing perspective on productivity and the deeper implications of the goals we set.

Tara is a writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur. Fresh off her debut book What Works, she discusses goal-setting and productivity. Are our goals truly our own? Moreover, is the path towards success identical for everyone? What should the process look like? The answers may surprise you, and might just give you a little peace of mind.

Topics covered:

What informs the goals we set?
Why we may not even need goals
Knowing your value in the goal equation
When to say no to yourself
Less commitment is more!

Just one drink. Harmless, right? Not always, even one drink can be a problem for many people. Here at TNWN, we keep things nonjudgmental, but educational. The truth is, alcohol isn't for everybody.

Kay has been "AF" since 1999, and her program has helped women put the bottle down, reimagine their identities, and improve their lives.

Topics covered:

Social drinking and how to handle the pressure and odd reactions when opting out
Does alcohol really help anxiety, or make it worse?

When we think of “family,” a specific image usually comes to mind. Something reinforced on TV since the 50s, an ideal man and a picturesque woman with two wholesome children. It’s neat and tidy, but a tidy family is not real. We can do everything “right,” but the idea of “family” was never meant to fit neatly into a box. Today’s guest reminds us that, no matter what our family looks like, we’re doing ok.

Amy Stone is a family coach who specializes in quieting the chaos that can come with a blended family. In today’s episode, we will discuss her work, the different forms a family can take, and how to balance it all.
