John and I have a wide-ranging conversation about Why Parenting in America is So Tough.  We talk about our big struggles as parents, how parenting is “hazardous to your health” per the Surgeon General, plus we check in with our friend Stephanie May Wilson (Mom and Podcaster), who recently moved from Tennessee to SPAIN, mainly because parenting in America is such a struggle.  You’ll love to hear her experience of what it’s like parenting in another country, how their cultures view and support family, plus our new favorite Spanish word and how it could be a game changer for your crew. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.  Listen in to learn more:  Listen in to learn more:  * Gratitude for Podcast Topics | 0:05:32 - 0:06:13  * Parenting Struggles With Over-Structuring | 0:10:48 - 0:12:05  * Teaching Responsibility Through Ownership | 0:13:43 - 0:14:53 * Parental Balancing Act of Providing Experiences | 0:17:04 - 0:18:31 * Parenting in America vs. Other Countries | 0:20:28 - 0:21:25  * Parenting Challenges Prompt Move to Spain | 0:24:54 - 0:25:28  * School Enrollment Stress in Spain | 0:30:00 - 0:31:53 * Parental Struggles and Community Investment | 0:40:48 - 0:41:49 In this episode, we discuss stressors in parenting and raising a family, the challenge of balancing protecting our kids with growing their resilience, cultural differences in raising families, and the freedom that comes with simplifying family life.  LINKS: HOW TO BUILD AUTONOMY IN OUR KIDS  FAMILY CHARGING BOX TO REDUCE SCREEN TIME THE CARRY ALL NEWSLETTER by and for working moms https://carrymedia.com/the-carry-all/  SIGNUP  FOR PAULA’S NEWSLETTER https://www.paulafarisofficial.com/newsletter  FOLLOW PAULA ON INSTAGRAM   https://www.instagram.com/paulafaris/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
