  • Healing, boundaries, and raising emotionally healthy kids with Melanie Shankle
    2025/01/28

    This week, I’m joined by Melanie Shankle to talk about her book, Here Be Dragons. Our conversation dives deep into important topics like generational trauma, relationships, and the impact of mean girls on young girls. Melanie’s focus on healing and boundaries is so powerful, reminding us that the path to raising emotionally healthy kids starts with becoming emotionally healthy ourselves.

    Here are four key takeaways from this episode:

    • Raising emotionally healthy children starts with doing the work to heal yourself. It’s never too late to begin.
    • Boundaries are essential for protecting your emotional health and that of your family.
    • Melanie encourages parents to pause and evaluate areas in their lives that need healing or adjustment for their own and their children’s benefit.
    • We discuss the influence of relationships and mean-girl culture on young girls, and how parents can guide them toward healthy connections.


    Melanie Shankle is a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Big Boo Cast podcast. Her latest book, Here Be Dragons, explores the complexities of relationships and the importance of emotional health. Melanie’s heartfelt writing and practical advice have made her a trusted voice for parents seeking to raise emotionally resilient children.

    This episode is filled with both challenges and encouragement, offering actionable steps to prioritize emotional health in your family. I hope you find it as impactful as I did!

    2025/01/21
    This week’s episode is extra special as I’m joined by two of my favorite people, Alicia and Kirsta Graf. They are a mother-daughter duo who inspire me deeply. Alicia shares her parenting journey with Kirsta, who has down syndrome, and the lessons she’s learned through adoption, loss, and raising three daughters. Kirsta is truly incredible—funny, joyful, and a shining light. Their story is heartfelt, inspiring, and filled with wisdom.Here are four key takeaways from this episode:Alicia emphasizes treating your family as a team and studying each child to meet their unique needs. Relationships with those a season or two ahead in life can make a big difference in your parenting journey. Kirsta’s journey—graduating from Bethel University, working at the school, and contributing to Jack’s Basket—shows the incredible potential of every child. Parenting is full of surprises and challenges, requiring reliance on God and grace for yourself.

    This week’s episode is extra special as I’m joined by my husband, Trevor, to share how family meetings have transformed our parenting and family life. From improving communication to empowering our kids, family meetings have become a key tool in creating a supportive and faith-centered home.

    Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:

    • Regular family discussions help parents and kids stay connected and on the same page.
    • Involving children in activities like meal planning and decision-making gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility.
    • Keeping family meetings short, focused, and consistent builds trust and strengthens family bonds.
    • Remember, God sees you as capable and worthy of the parenting role you’ve been given.


    This episode is full of practical tips and encouragement for prioritizing family time. I hope it inspires you to try family meetings in your home!
