Episode 218: What We Should Be Teaching Our Kids

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:45:00 -0400

As adults, we’re still dealing with grown people who act like kids — drama, gossip, jealousy, comparison, and dishonesty. It makes you pause and ask… what are we teaching our own children?
In this episode, I share reflections as a parent (not a parenting expert) who has watched the world completely change since the 80s and the rise of the internet. The pressure on our kids is different now — louder, faster, and constant.

But the most important lessons are still simple.

In This Episode:

Teaching kids to stay out of drama and gossip
Learning to say no and protect their time and energy
Giving themselves grace when they mess up
Choosing good energy and healthy boundaries
Remembering social media isn’t real life
Why quality friendships matter more than quantity
Paying attention to what fills them up vs. drains them
How they start their day shapes everything
Hope is a choice — and you can always choose again

We can’t control the world they’re growing up in. But we can help shape how they move through it.
Simple daily choices matter — movement, nourishing food, time in prayer, quiet time, getting outside.
Sometimes our kids just need permission to know there is another way — and they will be okay.

Episode 217: Resilience: Learning to Rest, Reset, and Rise

Kelley Ranaudo — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Life will knock us down — physically, emotionally, professionally. The question isn’t if we’ll face stress or setbacks… it’s how we recover.

In this episode, we talk about what resilience really is. Not just pushing through. Not pretending we’re fine. But learning how to support our body, mind, and spirit so we can truly bounce back.
Sometimes getting back up isn’t about doing more.

It’s about choosing better — better recovery, better nourishment, better perspective.
More of what heals. Less of what harms.

Simple shifts. Stronger foundation. Healthier life.

Episode 205: Simple Shifts for Stress

Kelley Ranaudo — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

Stress isn’t going away, but we get to choose how we manage it, how we prepare for it, and how we respond to it. There are four areas of your life where you can improve, and make simple changes to help handle the daily stress better. Awareness and perspective make all the difference.

Episode 203: Live Boldly

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400

If something doesn’t align with your values and what matters most to you, it is not for you. Choose to boldly say no to things in this world that are not bringing goodness to your life. Choose to create boundaries with worldly distractions. Choose to go live the life that God made you for, and stop feeling pressured by this world and other people’s opinions.

Episode 202: Beat One Distraction this Week

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400

I honestly believe that these days it is too obvious that the enemy just wants to keep us busy with all the wrong things. There are too many easy distractions, worldly pressures and temptations, holding us back from all the good things we want in life. We are so distracted, we don’t even realize that we are the one that can make the change. This week, pay attention, and become aware of what is holding you back, and I want you to get intentional about beating that distraction. Do not let the enemy win this week.

Episode 196: Your Approach to Life

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:00:00 -0400

Stress is a huge factor in your health, and your stress is compounded by how you approach life, which is how you approach each day. Choose to approach your day with hope, gratitude, and a positive outlook on life, and watch your health, relationships, work, and life improve.

Episode 29: What Can We Control Right Now?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

We have to accept our current situation, and accept what is in our control right now. We have to choose to protect your energy, take care of ourselves, lower our expectations, get closer to God, and be kind to each other. This can be a stressful time if you choose to let it take over. Choose to find the good, create a calmer environment, and help your tribe get through this. This will pass. Let us be better on the other side.

Honestly, I believe we have to take this time and get closer to God, closer to each other and slow down. Choose to use this time for good. It is possible.

Episode 28: Homeschooling Tips

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0400

I must say that choosing to homeschool your kids, and working remotely, is very different than what is going on now. So, yes, I know it is different, but I still am hoping that some things I have learned over the years might help.

I am not claiming to be an expert, and you also don’t have to agree with my beliefs for any of these tips to help you. I have been walking a different path for awhile, and I love it….but it’s not for everyone. But for now, we are all in this together, and I am praying and rooting for you to come out of this better than you can even imagine.

Honestly, I believe the most important part of all of this, is how we grow as people, parents, families, and christians.
