Prom season is so much fun, and we thoroughly enjoy it, but sometimes parents and teens don’t see eye to eye on a few things. Unfortunately, those things are usually outfits.

39. Why Are We So Negative?
The Motivated Parent
05/10/22 • 51 min
Parenting always feels like a one-up game. It feels like that more now than ever. So why does it always seem like we are focusing on the negative? Why aren’t we praising other parents more often? Negativity seems to spread faster than positivity. Some people even thrive off of it. However, what if we were just a bit nicer to our friends or acquaintances?
We discuss a few NBA parents who are "hated" for nothing more than wanting the best for their kids. Armando and Stacy also give a few ideas on being a better friend and human being.

38. Last Minute Family Getaways
The Motivated Parent
05/03/22 • 55 min
Have you ever planned a last-minute getaway for your family? Of course, we often enjoy last-minute getaways, but this last one had more meaning than other trips.
In this episode, Armando and Stacy talk about their recent camping trip that only came about because of a “memory” from Shutterfly that said, “10 years ago today”. That silly thing became a trip that led us down memory lane and created even more lasting memories. It was an emotional journey for Stacy.
You don’t have to go camping, but that’s what we did and talked about in part of this episode. You need to take advantage of the time you have and say yes to the last-minute getaway if it means that you are going to bond with your kids. Yeah, we know they might roll their eyes or have an attitude, but it’s worth it (usually*).

37. Psychedelic Parenting
The Motivated Parent
04/26/22 • 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 if they would ever try mushrooms for the effects - good or bad - and to make them better parents and spouses. Would you use psychedelics in a controlled setting or pass on the entire experience?

The Motivated Parent
04/19/22 • 43 min
Weddings have hiccups. Some hiccups are funny and others are “insightful” to a bride or groom. Armando and Stacy read aloud wedding day hiccups and how these hiccups aren’t really the precursor to a relationship.
Laugh with us and reflect on your own wedding day craziness. We share our own hiccups from the three weddings we’ve had with our listeners too.

The Motivated Parent
03/29/22 • 41 min
“Will You Marry Me So I Can Date You?”
We love dating. During those dates, you realize that you want to be married to the one you were with all the time. Then marriage happens, and the dating fades as the kids enter the picture. It’s just life. But what happens if you start adding a date night back into the equation? Will your marriage flourish or stay the status quo? Most likely, it will grow, and your relationship will strengthen.
Join Armando and Stacy as they dive into dating or the lack thereof to figure out how to keep the relationship strong or build it back if it’s struggling.
