You’ll get a clear, practical look at what singles carry in each decade and how teams can genuinely honor, include, and support them.

Why do some third culture kids come through a cross-cultural childhood resilient and rooted, while others quietly struggle to feel like they belong anywhere? Author and coach Anna Danforth has spent years studying exactly that question, and in this episode she joins Amy and Bernie to talk about the answer she landed on: support — specifically, seven kinds of it. Drawing from her new book, Nourished: Third Culture Kids and the Village They Need, Anna breaks down the seven essential supports that separate surviving from flourishing, and gives parents, leaders, and caring adults concrete ways to show up for the TCKs in their lives.

Is it possible for Mom and Dad to sabbatical at the same time? If you’ve ever tried, you know it’s tough. In this “Mailbag Episode,” Amy and Bernie are joined by Jenilee Goodwin to explore how parents with kids at home can realistically experience a sabbatical. They unpack how to redefine sabbatical in a full season of life by slowing the pace, lowering expectations, simplifying meals and schedules, and involving the whole family in supporting mom’s rest (as well as dad’s).

Got a question, reach out, we'd love to talk about it. Thank you, listener!
