When your child is struggling with mental health, addiction, or failure to launch…
The last thing you can afford is standing still.

Every day you delay the hard conversation, the boundary, and the support, they sink a little deeper.
You’re not avoiding a problem. You’re feeding it.

And while it’s scary to jump…
Your future self will either thank you or wish you acted sooner.

If you’ve ever had that quiet voice in your gut say, “something’s off,” this episode is for you.

Ibbits Newhall joins me on the 4 Peaks Parents Podcast to talk about something we still don’t talk about enough: eating disorders, early signs, and what families can do before it’s too late.

She’s walked this path as a parent and as someone in recovery. What she shares here will shift how you think about “getting healthy,” perfectionism, and how to step in with courage instead of fear.

That moment in Boot Barn…

I was standing there, surrounded by walls of cowboy boots, trying to pick the right pair for my wife, and it hit me…

This is exactly how parenting can feel when your kid is struggling with mental health, substance use, or anxiety.

Do you go inpatient? Outpatient? Therapy? IOP?
It’s a maze.

And just like I needed someone to point me in the right direction in that store, you might need someone to help you sort through the options.

You don’t have to do it alone. Support exists.
Take one courageous step today - your family is worth it.

Is your child acting out more this summer? You’re not imagining it.

In this week’s podcast, I share why boredom, especially for kids with ADHD, can quickly spiral into power struggles, anxiety, and chaos at home.

It’s not just “summer behavior.”

It’s your child’s nervous system begging for structure, engagement, and connection.

Parents, here’s your reminder:

You don’t have to be the “fun one.”
But your kids do need to see you having fun.

They’re watching how you move through life. And if all they see is stress, seriousness, and checklists, what message are we passing down?

Sometimes joy is the most powerful parenting tool we’ve got.
So crank the silly song. Jump in the lake. Laugh at yourself.

Let them see it.
Let them remember it.

Ever feel like summer should be magical, but instead you’re exhausted, guilty, and wondering if your kids will ever get off their screens?

You’re not alone.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing how to stay sane, present, and intentional during summer, even when you’re balancing work, screens, pushback, and chaos.

It’s not about being a perfect parent.
It’s about building rhythms that work for your family.

There are some things you’ll never hear me say to the parents I coach.

Because intentional parenting takes more than hope, it takes action, awareness, and courage.

Here are 5 things I refuse to say… and why:

1️⃣ “If I ignore it, it’ll go away.”
👉 Avoiding problems doesn’t build character; leaning in does.

2️⃣ “It’s easier if I just do it for them.”
👉 Growth happens when they do the hard stuff, not when we rescue them.

3️⃣ “I don’t want to upset them.”
👉 Sometimes love means leaning into the tough conversations.

4️⃣ “I’m sure it’s just a phase.”
👉 Excusing, enabling, or waiting it out doesn’t help our kids grow; intentional parenting does.

5️⃣ “That’s just how kids are these days.”
👉 I believe every kid can rise when parents show up with purpose.

We don’t raise resilient, grounded kids by waiting it out. We do it by showing up on purpose.

Throwback Thursday ⚽️

We may have bickered all the way there, debated what to eat, who sat where, but when Messi walked out on that field? All that noise faded.

Soccer has always been a reset button for our family. It’s the thing we rally around. The common ground.

Every family needs that thing, a shared love that cuts through the chaos and brings you back to center.

Ours just happens to wear #10.

What’s yours?

Healthy Competition = Growth ⚽️💪

It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to “protect” our kids from competition. But here’s the thing: a little healthy competition can actually help them grow.

This photo is from a training session with my son. Sure, I’m faster and more experienced, but that’s the point. I’m not here to win. I aim to challenge him, help him experience the thrill of challenge, and encourage him to venture beyond his comfort zone.

Healthy competition isn’t about who wins. It’s about teaching resilience, teamwork, and the ability to handle pressure. It’s about showing our kids how to strive for improvement and how to handle both success and failure.

What do you do to challenge your kids in a healthy way?

The Power of Intentional Parenting 🧘‍♂️

I recently found myself in a hotel lobby on vacation, waiting for my kids to come down. Now, the old me? I’d have been frustrated, asking why they were late, getting upset at the delay.

But here’s the shift: I’ve been working on intentionality - making my choices happen, instead of letting them happen to me.

Instead of starting with a frustration, I took a moment to breathe, enjoy my cup of coffee, and focus on the here and now.

✅ It’s not about perfect moments; it’s about intentional ones.
✅ The change begins with YOU as the parent.
✅ You can choose patience, presence, and focus.

So ask yourself: How are you showing up for your family today? How intentional are your choices?

Take a deep breath and reset, because you can make today meaningful. 💫

The Best Gift You Can Give Your Kids? A United Front. 💙

Even though our kids weren’t at this event, my wife and I made it a point to be present for each other. We know that when we show them we’re a team, it creates a sense of stability for them.

When kids see their parents working together, it teaches them the value of respect, partnership, and love. We’re not perfect, but we’re committed to being there for each other, especially in front of them.

They’re always watching, so let’s set the right example.

What’s one thing you and your partner do to show a united front in front of your kids?
