Tuesday’s Recommendation:
‘Psycho-Babble Viral Mental Health Myths & Truths to Set You Free” by Joe Nucci, LPC.

I first started following Joe awhile back because I loved his approach at busting mental health myths.

Social media has raised awareness for mental health but many times language of mental health is taken out of concept.

The approach from the book is amazing for anyone learning about mental health as a profession or for personal knowledge.

Maybe youth been given a mental health diagnosis that you want to further understand.

Maybe your in ministry and want to understand mental health language.

This is a great resource for busting up myths about mental health into understanding of what qualifies a person to be diagnosed.

I’m so grateful that a spot opened up for this week’s Postpartum Support International’s Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health.

I have been watching the trial for Lindsay Clancy and have been inspired to keep diving into perinatal care and treatment.

Gardening & Therapy:

Many people spend thousands of dollars on the wedding day, but decline to invest in the marriage years into it.

We are not the same people in the marriage the day we say ‘I do’ as we are 10 or 20 years into the marriage.

Simple investment into the marriage is books you read together, marriage podcasts, and prioritizing each other.

When a spouse hears the other spouse decline marriage counseling, or refusing to read marriage books, etc they hear their marriage is not worth learning new skills that lead to lasting change.

What they hear when actions of investment into entertainment or self interests over marriage needs, is that the marriage has zero importance.

It’s never too late to invest in each other.
It’s never too late to invest in your marriage.

Kids asked who my ‘Forrest Frank’ was.

Carmen allowed theatrics in the church music! I even saw him live once with some cousins.
Fred set the reality that no weapon formed against us will prosper.
Kirk had people letting everyone know why we sing while stomping with Salt.
Jeremy showed everyone Hoosiers still believed through pain.
Toby made being a Jesus freak cool & fellow Liberty alumni!
Israel had me singing about Africa before I ever thought going would become reality.
Donald had me singing like I was in the choir. Never happened. Ever.
Hezekiah had everyone letting the devil know we were ‘SOULED OUT!’ I still am…for Jesus.
Marvin got me through infertility and answering Gods call bc ‘He saw the best in me’.

These oldies are still in my soul. Some of the songs transport me back to the return of Christianity. Some remind of the low times when worship music kept me focused on God.

Teaching your kids about s*x will decrease abuse from happening to them.

In our case this week, it got a school peer help.

Because we have regular and frequent conversations around the topic regarding what is and is not appropriate, how to respond, and what getting help looks like -

Our child knew how to respond to alarming language from a peer.

Talk to your kids about s*x and answer their questions.

The conversation is coming to them regardless if they’re in a public or private school.

Would your child know how to help another child?
Is the culture of the home safe enough that they can bring scary things to your attention?

I’m so thankful for the school that acted fast to help a child.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Ages 6–10): The School Day Doesn't End When They Walk Through the Door. 🎒

Many elementary-aged children spend the entire school day following directions, managing emotions, paying attention, and navigating friendships.

By the time they get home...their brain is tired.

Their behavior may say:

"I'm overwhelmed." Not: "I'm being difficult."

Build an After-School Reset

Instead of immediately asking about homework...

Try this routine:

🥨 Snack +💧 Water

🏃 20–30 minutes of movement or outdoor play

🧩 Quiet decompression without electronics

📚 Homework/reading

The brain learns better after regulation than during survival or stress.

Create Evening Rhythms

Homework in common areas.

Dinner together without electronics. Cook & clean together.

Church, sports, activities, or scheduled rest time.

Reading for fun - fiction, comics, crafting, etc.

Daily devotions with family: prayer + bible learning.

Bedtime routine & wind down without electronics.

Consistency helps reduce anxiety.

Questions That Build Connection

Instead of:

"What grade did you get?"

Ask:

"What challenged you today?"

"What made you proud of your work?"

"Who did you help/who helped you today?"

"When did you feel connected & seen?"

"What was confusing today?"

These questions develop emotional intelligence—not just academic success.

Protect Childhood

Busy calendars don't always equal healthy kids.

Children also need:

🌳 Imagination time + 🎲 Free play time.

📖 Reading something fun for 30-minutes daily.

💛 Family conversations that create safety.

😴 Uninterrupted regular sleep routines.

Sometimes saying "no" to physical activities can become "yes" to emotional health.

Tuesday’s Recommendation:

The NEW podcast: “Start Younger Outgrow P**n At Any Age” hosted by Drew, Blake, & one of my favorite psychologists & friend Dr Doug Carpenter.

If you have struggled with watching adult material that has disrupted your life this podcast series is for you.

If your work with people recovering or navigating p**n addiction this is a great resource!

If you have kids and want tips on connecting with kids on how to talk about s*x without shame.

I’m so glad to hear these men being transparent with lived experiences that so many ignore or cover up. The more men find healing spaces, the more shame loses its power.
