Episode 69 – How do I get over my ‘mom guilt’ so I can work on my creative dreams and still feel like a good mother?

Today on The Not-So-Serious Life, Jason and Steve answer Lisa’s question:

How do I get over my ‘mom guilt’ so I can work on my creative dreams and still feel like a good mother?”

In this episode, we take a step back to remind you just what we mean when we talk about living a “Not-So-Serious Life” and why it’s not only more fun, but also more effective!

Plus we help Lisa to see how working on her novel may be the best example she can set as a parent AND why questioning our definition of a ‘good mother’ (or a ‘good’ anything for matter) is the key to freedom from self-judgment.

You know what WE think and now it’s time for YOU to weigh in…

Episode 55 – How do I get my spouse to stop training our kids to be victims?

Today on The Not-So-Serious Life, Jason and Steve answer Cleatus’s question:

“How do I get my spouse to stop training our kids to be victims?”

What did you think of Steve’s curveball answer of “leaving it alone?”

Do you agree that the kids are pretty smart and aren’t really being quite as “trained” as we sometimes may think they are?

You know what WE think and now it’s time for YOU to weigh in…

How can you relax a little more in your parenting?

Episode 46 – What should I do if my spouse gets upset anytime I participate in hobbies that don’t include her?

Today on The Not-So-Serious Life, Jason and Steve answer Dr. John’s question:

“What should I do if my spouse gets upset anytime I participate in hobbies that don’t include her?”

You know what WE think and now it’s time for YOU to weigh in…

Are you going to start asking the vitally important question Steve posed, during your dating relationship, to make sure this doesn’t happen to you?

If you are past the “recruiting” phase and that question doesn’t apply to you, are you willing to have the conversation that JG talked about to find out how you can support your significant other and help them to feel what and how they want to feel in their own lives?

Episode 26 – How do you help someone you know is suffering but isn’t ready to listen?

Today on The Not-So-Serious Life, Jason and Steve answer Phil’s question:

“How do you help someone you know is suffering but isn’t ready to listen?”

In this episode, JG shares how offering up “words of wisdom” to those in “need” rarely works and we talk about the difference between getting people to SEE the light and instead deciding to BE the light.

Plus Steve goes through some late stage puberty (that he tries to blame on singing) and then shares some brilliant wisdom from the late, great Dr. Nathaniel Brandon on suffering that just may wake you up!

How about you?

How do you think your relationships with family and friends would improve if you detached yourself from the personal responsibility of making them change?

Now back to the matter at hand!

In this episode, JG shares the alternative to being triggered and sucked into a typhoon of negativity and Steve shares a simple and powerful mathematical equation to keep you calm and help you convert the stress of a negative person into the amusement of a movie!  …and he proves that Jason is horrible at math!

Plus you will hear about the really tempting job offer that Steve and JG recently received.  Don’t worry; we turned it down so we could keep focusing on the show for all of you!

We want to hear from you!

How will you use the tips we shared in your own relationships to keep others negativity from hijacking your happiness?
