The Motivated Parent

Armando & Stacy

Welcome to the Motivated Parent — a podcast that motivates parents with genuine advice and laughter. We, Stacy and Armando, are excited you are here. We hope that with each episode, you gain some valuable insight and apply it to your lives. Parenting is one of our most significant accomplishments, but it isn't always easy. It's a daily adventure into the (sometimes) unknown territory. We realized a while ago that we wanted to give the best of ourselves to our kids and decided to make that happen by being "The Motivated Parent." More so, we are happy to be parenting together alongside our listeners.

The Motivated Parent - Is Mushroom Mania Parenting the Psychedelic Renaissance?
play

03/12/24 • 58 min

Are you willing to “microdose” on magic mushrooms to take the edge off of parenting? Mushroom Mania is the Psychedelic Renaissance of our time. Parents are turning to mushrooms to help them navigate parenthood and deal with the past trauma of their childhoods. Armando and Stacy discuss a Harper Bazaar article about “Mommies Who Mushroom” and whether they would ever try mushrooms for the good or bad effects and to make them better parents and spouses.

Would you use psychedelics in a controlled setting or pass on the entire experience? Episode 65 is ReAir of Season Two, Episode 11.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! If you missed Stacy's 40th Birthday episode, listen to episode #63. All things are volleyball here, but also, we are in the stage of Quinceńera planning for Reagan! Armando is still out of the studio, and his internet connection is miserable. Fingers crossed, he will be with us soon to record and tell us about his travels. Until then, we'd love to talk if you'd like to share a story on our show or even sit behind the mic and record with us. Please send us an email or reach out on social media!

The Motivated Parent - 45. The Start of a New Chapter - Senior Year
play

09/06/22 • 33 min

We are back from our mid-season summer break, and not only are we back in session, but the kids are also back in school.

The start of a New Chapter - Senior Year!

I know many families with seniors and love watching everything on social media. I thought I would be sad, but I’m excited about this part of our life and our sons.

But regardless of my excitement, senior year is - exhausting and emotional, but it’s the next step on this journey.

So how do you strengthen the relationship with your teens to have the best year? I’ve had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with parents, which applies to all teens, not seniors: communication tone/respect/ attention, understanding that there is finality and growth, AND you should take all the photos!

The Motivated Parent - Why Are We So Hard On Ourselves?
play

06/14/22 • 50 min

Why are we so hard on ourselves?

As a parent, when our kids are struggling and letting the negative thoughts attack, we swoop in to curb that nonsense. We give them positive words of affirmation.

When it comes to ourselves, we don’t give grace and compassion where it is due. Why?

In this episode, we dig in on what our most significant issues are within us and how we can move forward in a positive light.

The Motivated Parent - 62. Emergency Preparedness: Easy Ideas for Your Family

Emergency Preparedness: Easy Ideas for Your Family

We recently watched the Netflix movie Leave the World Behind, which made us realize that we needed to prepare for the 2024 hurricane season. We live on the coast, so hurricanes are a big deal for us, and we like to be prepared. Natural disasters happen more frequently than we’d like to admit, and being ready reduces your stress when they hit.

In this episode, we go over some easy ideas to get ready for any natural disaster or even maybe something more nefarious like a cyber attack. Whatever you’re preparing for, we are not diving deep into the prepper world in this episode. We discuss some smaller and more easily accessible items you can get, most of which won’t break the bank.

The Motivated Parent - Skin Cancer Scare and Why You Should Check Your Skin
play

07/25/23 • 40 min

Recently, Stacy had a mole that she knew needed to be checked out by a doctor immediately. The first appointment proved the mole needed to be removed, and fast forward a few more days, a call that it's abnormal comes through. Skin Cancer is more common than most people think, and getting your skin checked by a dermatologist shouldn't be scary or brushed off. This episode is a replay of how it went from "Let me get this checked out to Oh, my gosh, I have a pre-cancerous mole." It's our public service announcement (PSA) to everyone out there to check your skin (and everyone else in your family too).

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon vs. Universal's Volcano Bay - Our Honest Parental Review! 5 We recently went to Orlando to hit up two famous water parks - Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Universal's Volcano Bay. Our review is not sponsored in any way, so we give our honest take on what we liked and disliked about the parks. You might be surprised about who likes which one and why more than the other. Also, it's been almost 20 years exactly (June 2003) since we have been in Typhoon Lagoon.

Blast From the Past! Childhood Movie Edition

Take a stroll with us as we list our favorite childhood movies that are great to share with the kids. We only discuss movies from the ’80s and ’90s since those are the decades we were kids. It truly is a “Blast from the Past” talking about these movies, as many are classics and stir up emotions in us. Armando and I have let our kids watch most of these; they love them just as much as we do. So take the trip down memory lane, and you won’t be disappointed.

Episode 66 is ReAir of Season One, Episode 18.

The Motivated Parent - 67. Do You Splurge as a Parent?
play

03/26/24 • 45 min

We explore splurges that parents should consider—and they aren’t necessarily what you think! This episode has three categories: Indoor, Outdoor, and on the Go. Armando and Stacy try to keep these splurges on the cheaper side, and they are all for parents—no children allowed.

Stacy’s favorite splurge is in the “On the Go” category. It’s one way to spark new ideas in any parent, especially the parents who want to get away from crazy parenting. Armando's splurge is in the "On the Go" category, too, but it's not what you'd expect!

Episode 67 is ReAir of Season One, Episode 19.
