52. Never Coaching to Winning Nationals
The Motivated Parent
12/12/23 • 64 min
Never Coaching to Winning Nationals 52. Stacy said it the moment she started coaching - “I want a banner for the wall!” That was the gym wall where all the banners hung for winning various championships. That drive she had inspired her girls (who wanted to win it all) to show up to the homeschool volleyball nationals in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, with 100 teams and win the whole thing for 14U! From underdogs to Grand Champions, Armando and Stacy give you two points of view on coaching a winning season and what saying yes can do!

Coaching Youth Sports 51. We have been so busy in 2023, and it’s all because of sports. In April, Stacy said yes to coaching Middle School volleyball, and it was the most memorable season of her life. Find out why it was so memorable in this two-part series on Coaching Youth Sports and why you should say yes! Not everyone feels they can coach, and that’s okay. Support your kid’s coaches, no matter the age of your “kid”.

The Motivated Parent
08/01/23 • 49 min
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.

21. Speed Dating
The Motivated Parent
09/29/21 • 31 min
Marriages and Relationships begin to fizzle out over time. I’m not saying they end, but they lose their luster. We forget that we are people with interests, likes/dislikes, etc. Armando and I have kept a fun dialogue going between each other with question games like Desert Island or (drum roll, please) - Speed Dating.
Join us in answering some questions.
-If you could travel back in time, which era would you choose? -What famous dead person would you like to meet? -If you have an unlimited budget, where do you get married or have a vow renewal?
20. Parenting a Killer
The Motivated Parent
09/22/21 • 44 min
Our emotions and perceived “connections” lure us into high-profile cases where someone is murdered or vanishes. We saw this with Laci Peterson, Natalee Holloway, Casey Anthony, and now, Gabby Petito. In the past, we would wait for the news to update us, but now social media like Reddit and TikTok exploded the case of Gabby Petito. With that “explosion” in information, false narratives and flat-out lies spread like truth. Then we go on the attack of the parents.
Why do we immediately blame the parents for their adult children’s crappy behavior? At what point do we place the blame where it should be and not on the parenting? Join in this dialogue. Do you think parents are responsible for their children’s crappy behavior once they are adults?
19. Splurges Parents Should Consider
The Motivated Parent
09/15/21 • 45 min
We dig into 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 to spark new ideas in any parent, especially the parents who want to get away from the crazy parenting thing. Armando's splurge is in the "On the Go" category, too, but it's not what you'd expect!
Teen Driving - A Rite of Passage
The Motivated Parent
08/24/21 • 39 min
Teen driving is a rite of passage but one that can bring parents to the edge of insanity. In episode 16, Marty and Stacy discuss the "psychos" on the road today, distracted driving, and the excitement of watching your kids grow into young adults. Whether you have teens now or are pregnant, you will have to teach your kids to drive one day. Their rite of passage as a child (just like any milestone) should bring you the same joy that their first steps did. Let it bring you closer, not apart.
Homeschooling Might Not Be For You
The Motivated Parent
09/01/21 • 60 min
Episode 17 is all about Homeschooling! Marty and Stacy dig into the world of homeschooling, and guess what? It might not be for you! A simple Google search can be overwhelming or barely scratch the surface, but it's a great place to start. Go back and forth with the pros and cons of homeschooling with us and see if it's a good fit or not for your family. Disclaimer* There is no right or wrong answer to this - it's a personal choice, and we aren't in the "shame game"!
53. Managing Christmas Day Expectations
The Motivated Parent
12/19/23 • 37 min
Christmas Morning is going one of two ways - phenomenal or down the drain! There is barely an in-between when it comes to this holiday. We love Christmas, but it's not necessarily our favorite holiday because, at some point, it's going off the rails. Managing Christmas Day Expectations is easier said than done but we've gotten better at it over the years. If you are hosting, going on the family member house bounce, or simply planning on trying to get through the day, take 30ish minutes to decompress with us. We are far from perfect. And something always goes sideways on Christmas Day, but we push through ... sometimes just barely.
