Introducing Service as the Foundation: Moore United Construction from The Unshakeables. Follow the show: The Unshakeables Ron and Kelly Moore started in the family business young — Ron in the warehouse, Kelly on the phones. They built careers expecting to take over one day. But when their father passed away, those plans unraveled. Their stepmother, now in control, shut them out. They went their separate ways until Ron called Kelly with an idea: start again, from scratch.  That call became Moore United Construction which allowed the siblings to rebuild what was taken and even fight new betrayals, including a project manager who quietly siphoned off clients. But they’re not interested in grudges. For Ron and Kelly, it’s about the work, the team and giving back — especially to veterans, a community they’re proud to serve. In this episode, Ben and Kathleen talk with Ron and Kelly about the reality of rebuilding a business, the complexity of family dynamics and the power of a shared mission. These are The Unshakeables See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this powerful and reassuring episode, Marijo sits down with Dr. Lauren Hartman — one of fewer than 1,000 adolescent‑medicine specialists in the U.S., pediatrician, and author of the March 2026 release "Freeing Children and Young Adults from Shame, Scales, and Stigma: A Practical Guide for Parents, Teachers and Clinicians" Dr. Hartman brings decades of clinical experience working with children and teens with eating disorders, and she offers parents of young children practical, compassionate guidance to help prevent body‑image struggles before they start. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ·        🌱 It's NOT your fault. Dr. Hartman emphasizes that parents do not cause eating disorders — and why releasing that guilt is essential for supporting kids. ·        🌱 How eating disorders really develop. They're multifactorial and rarely look just one way. ·        🌱 Why the way we talk about our own bodies matters. Kids absorb everything. Dr. Hartman shares simple shifts in language that build resilience and body respect. ·        🌱 Food without fear. How to remove morality from food ("good" vs. "bad"), bring joy back to meals, and model a healthy relationship with nourishment. ·        🌱 Movement as celebration, not punishment. Reframing exercise as strength, stress relief, and gratitude — not compensation for eating. ·        🌱 Social media's influence — and how to help kids think critically. Dr. Hartman explains why young brains are especially vulnerable and offers questions parents can teach kids to ask when consuming online content. ·        🌱 Understanding growth charts. Why percentiles aren't a "report card," what healthy growth really looks like, and why trying to manipulate a child's natural curve can backfire. ·        🌱 The importance of regular meals (especially breakfast). Adolescents, especially, need consistent nourishment — often every three hours — to support their rapidly developing brains and bodies. ·        🌱 Early signs of eating‑disorder risk. Behavior changes show up before weight changes. Dr. Hartman outlines what to watch for and why trusting your gut matters. ·        🌱 Why repair is powerful. If you've said things you regret about your body or your child's, it's not too late. Modeling apology and growth is a gift to your kids. Dr. Hartman mentioned the Rabbit Effect study about kindness - here's the AI blurb if you google this:  The "Rabbit Effect" refers to a classic 1970s study where researchers testing high-fat diets on rabbits found one group healthier than expected, discovering a kind post-doc who petted and spoke to them, revealing kindness's profound impact on health, a concept popularized by Dr. Kelli Harding's book, The Rabbit Effect, showing social connection (love, purpose, community) matters more for well-being than just medical care, impacting us like genetics.  About Dr. Lauren Hartman Dr. Hartman is a double board-certified specialist in Adolescent Medicine and Pediatrics, focusing on patient-centered care. Her training includes medical school at the University of Virginia, a pediatric residency at Brown University, and an Adolescent Medicine Fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. She has held leadership roles at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, the East Bay pediatric eating disorder program, and Equip. Dr. Hartman also co-developed programs for gender-expansive youth and pediatric autonomic disorders. With over a decade of practice, she specializes in adolescent medicine, particularly eating disorders, across various settings. She is an active member of SAHM, AED, and AWSIM, serving on SAHM's Eating Disorder Committee and ACCMA's legislative and community health committees. She lives in the Bay Area with her family. Her book "Freeing Children and Young Adults from Shame, Scales, and Stigma: A Practical Guide for Parents, Teachers and Clinicians" releases March 11, 2026, and will be available wherever books are sold.

In this episode, you'll learn about "nomophobia" - fear of being without a mobile device - yes, that's a thing.  What does a phone addiction look like? And what are the long-term effects they have on our children's mental health? Lindsay Lunny, founder and CEO of the Hidden Strength Foundation, discusses her organization's app designed to support the mental health of young people aged 13 to 24.  In this interview, Lunny talks about the importance of early education about phone addiction and the effects of social media on youth mental well-being. She highlights that many young people are already aware of the negative impacts of phone addiction but need supportive guidance rather than strict prohibitions from adults. As a mom of two herself, she stresses the value of open conversations with children—focusing on teaching and discussing both the positive and negative aspects of social media and phone use—to help them navigate challenges and protect their mental health. Linsey Lunny is the CEO of Hidden Strength. Hidden Strength is a unique mental health platform for young people. They offer meaningful support, advice and guidance in a safe, anonymous environment. Support is both peer to peer, and in the form of fully qualified therapists available on demand using secure virtual environments.

One of the biggest stressors for parents is helping their child get to sleep and stay asleep. Bedtime can be a real battle for parents at times and today's guest is here to help alleviate that by looking for root causes and also how you parents can help relieve your sleep issues as well. When the whole family sleeps well, things go better.   In this episode, she'll talk about sleep apnea - yes, even for kids - which includes snoring, and mouthbreathing, and how sleep is not a "passive process" like we might think, involving hormones, the immune system and even memories that are processed while we sleep.  Our sleep is affected by nutrition such as iron deficiencies and our sleep hygiene like how dark, cool and noise-free the room is for sleeping.  And one that parents are certainly guilty of - screentime before bed. Dr. Brown says we need to stop that at least 60 minutes before bed and that includes TV and tablets too.  Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown is a board-certified pediatrician with extensive experience working with children who suffer from a range of sleep issues, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and behavioral sleep disorders. Her holistic and compassionate approach to care sets her apart as a trusted expert in her field. Dr. Afolabi-Brown earned her medical degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, one of Africa's premier institutions for medical education. She completed her pediatrics residency at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is renowned globally for its cutting-edge pediatric care and training programs. Subsequently, she pursued a fellowship in sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she gained specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children. I know you're going to get a ton of great value out of this episode so please enjoy the show. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Afolabi-Brown is an advocate for sleep health education. She actively raises awareness about the importance of sleep through various platforms, including community outreach, public speaking engagements, and digital media. Her mission is to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to create healthy sleep habits for their children. Dr. Afolabi-Brown is also active in several medical associations, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Her contributions to these organizations include advancing research, developing best practices, and sharing insights on sleep interventions. She has also collaborated on scholarly publications and presented at national and international conferences, demonstrating her commitment to the growth and development of her field.

"It was clear to me that parents, especially moms, weren't opposed to talking to their kids about p*rn*graphy. Or listening to me talk about it. But they wanted guidance, resources, help and hope. They wanted someone on their team. I was ready to step up and be that person." -- Greta Eskridge This episode is tough but absolutely essential listening for parents of kids of all ages. The unfortunate reality is that our kids will be exposed to horrible things that we don't want them to see and we need to know what to do.  Author, speaking, podcaster and mom Greta Eskridge wants you to be prepared BEFORE it happens so you'll know how to react and what to say when confronted by this inevitable topic.

This must-have book equips parents to have age-appropriate, honest and hope-filled conversations about pornography with kids of any age so that they can help their children develop lifelong sexual integrity. In this book, Eskridge helps parents to navigate those tough conversations and connect with their children to create a safe space for conversation while tackling the toughest topics with confidence.   About the Author: Greta Eskridge is a second-generation homeschooling mom to four and wife of twenty-six years to Aaron.
