| 6/8/26 | ![]() Helping Kids Do Hard Things, Swim Lessons, Passing Down Good Habits | EP 26 | In this episode of Van Talk, we’re talking about the difference between coasting through life and being proactive about it.From swim lessons with babies and toddlers to everyday parenting moments, we share why we believe in helping kids move through things that feel uncomfortable instead of immediately pulling them out. Not forcing, not pushing, but gently encouraging them forward until confidence starts to grow. We also discuss how important it is for everyone around a child to be on the same team. When a child is learning a new skill or working through a fear, teasing and negativity can undo a lot of progress. Sometimes what kids need most is encouragement, positivity, and someone who believes in them.The conversation also touches on passing healthy habits down to our children and how so much of parenting comes back to leading by example. | — | ||||||

One of our favorite phrases? “Mom, can I try again?” The conversation also explores emotional resilience, avoiding a victim mentality, and teaching kids that feelings are real, but they don’t have to define the rest of the day. We also dive into marriage and family culture. From improving relationships with your parents to prioritizing your spouse after kids arrive, we share why protecting your marriage matters and why weekly date nights are worth fighting for. We talk about preparing your husband for postpartum before the baby arrives, the importance of support during that season, and why postpartum should be centered around mom and baby. And of course, we end with a potty training update and a few stories that prove parenting is never boring. | — | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | ![]() Gold Stars For MOMS, Instilling Healthy Habits, The Interrupt Rule | EP 24 | In this episode of Van Talk, we’re talking about the little moments in parenting that eventually turn into something big. Every milestone as a family, we share why we believe every win matters, big or small, individual or shared. And honestly? Moms deserve a gold star for the amount of invisible work they do every single day. We talk about the payoff moments in parenting, those days when you suddenly realize your kids are finally doing the things you’ve been patiently practicing with them all along. Greeting people confidently, looking others in the eye, saying thank you to compliments, shaking hands, brushing teeth, washing hands, building healthy habits… one day it finally clicks.We also share why kids are true sponges and why the habits we build early matter so much. If we can teach routines like bedtime and hygiene, we can also instill things like reading before bed, taking walks, gratitude, and confidence.
