How do we help our kids handle big emotions, embrace discomfort, and grow in virtue—while doing the same as parents?

In this episode, I chat with Nick and Theresa Redd, Catholic coaches and parents of three young children, about how emotional regulation and character formation begin at home.

Nick shares insights from The Freedom Group on helping men find freedom from pornography and emotional addiction.

At the same time, Theresa brings a practical, grace-filled approach to forming little hearts—through boredom, frustration, and everyday family life.

Together, they explore what it looks like to model calm, connection, and character in the chaos of parenting.

You can expect to:

• Learn how to help your kids face discomfort without fear
• Discover simple, faith-filled ways to teach emotional regulation
• Hear how parents can model freedom, integrity, and virtue in daily life

How do we help our kids fall in love with their Catholic faith?

It’s one thing to tell our kids what not to do. But how do we inspire them to want to live out God’s design for love and sexuality?

In this episode, Jeremy shares vivid analogies and stories—comparing sex to fire, boundaries to fences, and virtue to enjoying dessert in moderation—to help parents communicate the truth about chastity in ways that connect with their children’s hearts.

Jeremy helps parents see that chastity isn’t about repression—it’s about freedom: the freedom to love authentically, to use our desires well, and to find joy in God’s design for love.

You’ll discover:

• How to talk about chastity as something good, not just “off-limits”
• Why setting boundaries actually creates more freedom and joy
• How metaphors like fire and food can help kids grasp sexual integrity
• The role of reconciliation and mercy when mistakes happen
• How to help your kids view sex as sacred, not shameful

Whether your children are entering adolescence or already facing cultural pressures, this episode will equip you to lead them with clarity, hope, and confidence.
