Kayaking in Bioluminescence Water - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
The Motivated Parent
07/18/23 • 33 min
Kayaking in Bioluminescence Water - What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Armando and Stacy take the kids on a trip to kayak in bioluminescence water in Merritt Island National Refuge, Florida. The 90-minute kayaking trip hit some hurdles, aka waves. The severe thunderstorm didn't deter them but made for an adventure. Our tour guides and the company - Get Up and Go Kayaking- were great. 10/10.

26. Season One Finale + Laughs
The Motivated Parent
11/04/21 • 38 min
Season One has wrapped! Your hosts, Armando + Stacy, recorded, edited, produced, and published 26 episodes filled with laughs, mishaps, and genuine advice. When we decided to start our podcast, we didn't think it would go anywhere or that anyone would listen. However, fast forward 26 weeks, and we love our "passion project" or "passion project podcast" (as Stacy calls it) more than ever. Our show, The Motivated Parent, has even been downloaded in 15 countries which is impressive and exciting at the same time. Laugh with us as we recap the first season. We are thankful to our podcast community for coming back every week to listen to us. We love y'all. Season Two will air in January 2022, so until then, remember that "Time is precious; Waste it wisely!" -Armando + Stacy
24. One to Eighteen-Birthday Traditions
The Motivated Parent
10/21/21 • 47 min
According to Merriam-Webster, a tradition is defined as an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom).
Armando and I come from very different backgrounds, and with it come different traditions, or in our case, the lack thereof. In episode 24, we dig into birthday traditions, how to keep birthdays unique (and not lame) as our children age, and how to create new family memories that stick for the long haul.
22. From Speed Dating to Reconnecting
The Motivated Parent
10/06/21 • 58 min
Episode 21 was all about Speed Dating your spouse/significant other. Marriages and Relationships start to begin to fizzle out over time. They don’t always end, but they lose their luster. We forget that we are people with interests, likes/dislikes, etc. Armando and I went forward in “speed dating” and pushed it on to “Marriage Retreats.” Carving out time for your relationship is vital to stay connected when you feel worlds apart! “Marriage Retreats” are great but might not be for everyone. We add in our fun and sometimes ridiculous takes on how to reconnect!
Our Covid Experience
The Motivated Parent
08/04/21 • 66 min
After a year and a half of avoiding getting covid, it finally crept into our house. Episode 14 is all about our covid experience with our son, Connor. I never thought we would have to deal with any of our children being sick with this virus, and then it surprised us all.
We discuss how we kept from getting sick for a year and a half and how letting our guard down got us here. This episode isn't us offering any medical advice or our viewpoints on the pandemic. Instead, it's two parents sharing how we mitigated a situation that could have been way worse.
Favorite National Parks
The Motivated Parent
07/06/21 • 66 min
Stacy is back!
We love National Parks and even plan our vacations around them. Our kids enjoy every aspect of National Parks. In this episode, we each have our own top 5 National Parks we love. Stacy has some honorable mentions and can’t stop laughing about the Oregon Trail.
National Parks are a blessing, and we hope you will visit some this summer (or year in general). If you’ve been to a National Park, which one is your favorite? If you haven’t been to any National Parks, do you have one that we talked about that you want to see now?
Social Media + Navigating Turbulent Waters
The Motivated Parent
05/25/21 • 48 min
We dig into the good, the bad, and the ugly. Social media can be the bane of any parent's existence, and for a good reason, but what happens when social media is good? Parents tend only to see the adverse effects, but sometimes the good outweighs the bad.
We discuss timeframes for what ages are suitable for your kids to get social media accounts. We also cover what might be more critical and rarely discussed - when do we "allow" our parents to get a social media account? Jokes aside, navigating the turbulent waters of social media can be difficult, but you are ultimately the decision-maker.
What happened to Armando & Stacy?

What happened to Armando & Stacy? We went radio silent (pun intended) in 2022 and didn't even post much on Instagram or Facebook, but where were we? In our first episode of Season 3, we detail what we have been up to from September 2022 to July 2023. Life happens, and we are so happy to be back to recording our podcast.

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”.

Our Kid's Review - Typhoon Lagoon vs. Volcano Bay
The Motivated Parent
08/08/23 • 35 min
Our Kid's Review - Typhoon Lagoon vs. Volcano Bay 5 We recently visited 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 can hear our parental review in episode 49. This episode - Episode 50 - is our kid's honest opinion. You might be surprised about who likes which water park and why more than the other. It was a packed studio but a fun one. I also can't wait to head back to Orlando! Everyone is about to have a birthday so our (almost) ages are: 19, 14, and 11.
