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.

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.

Happy 40th Birthday, Stacy!

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.” – Andy Rooney.

Growing up (not old) is a beautiful thing. It’s a privilege to age. In this shorter episode, Stacy answers some birthday questions. Tune in and then ask some of these on your next birthday. It gives a new perspective to celebrating another year around the sun.

Episode 59

Using AI to Enhance! The Marriage + Parenting Edition! Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a tool for many aspects of business and learning. Now. It’s time to let it enhance your parenting and marriage. In this episode, Armando and Stacy use AI prompts in ChatGPT (a popular AI chatbox) to find age-specific things to do with kids. They also come up with date night and last-minute gift ideas by simply allowing AI to help. It’s not to be used for everything in your marriage or parenting, but it helps when you can’t think of anything else to do with your kids on the weekend or are bored with your typical date night! From recipes to birthday letters, using AI can add a little more adventure to your life if you let it. Episode 59 Join our community! Want to share your story about what motivates you?

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.

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.

29. Russia and Ukraine: How to Talk to Your Kids About This Situation

The Motivated Parent

03/04/22 • 40 min

You turn on the news or hop on social media, and the Russia and Ukraine situation is on - 24 hours a day. It’s everywhere and hard to run away from at this point. Most of you have talked to your kids by now. Maybe you are feeling a little defeated after the conversation. Or you haven’t sat down with them because you don’t know where to start. Armando and I have 20 years of deployments and talking to kids about war and conflict. We approach things differently with our kids, and it might help you talk to yours about this scary and heartbreaking conflict. We are not therapists, counselors, or psychologists, but simply a couple who has dealt with dozens and dozens of deployments to combat zones.

When you talk with your kids, whatever their age - be open to their questions, make sure they feel validated, and monitor your tv and social media.

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

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!
