About this listen

 No one gave us a manual to raise our kids. Luckily, moms, we’re all in this together. Join the Council of Moms as we tackle the issues we all face as parents–everything from picky eating to anxiety to teaching our kids adulting skills. The Council of Moms covers it all with humor, honesty, compassion, and in-the-trenches experience because we know that the only perfect parent is the one that keeps trying. So come be a part of our council and know that you’re not alone in this. Besides, it’s cheaper than therapy.© 2025 BYU Broadcasting Parenting & Families Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences

    Back-to-school season feels like a fresh start, but how do you keep that blank-slate energy alive once the chaos sets in? Lisa and her Council of Moms--Cree Taylor, Amy Hackworth, and Michelle Love-Day--share their tried-and-true strategies for attempting to stay organized and grounded through the school year. From the power of a Sunday reset, to forming habits that really stick, to knowing what’s worth sacrificing (and what’s not), these moms get real about what works and why school routines don’t look the same for every child.

  • Helping Kids Live Their Values—Even When You’re Not Watching

    Helping Kids Live Their Values—Even When You’re Not Watching
    Aug 29 2025
    What happens when your child’s behavior changes the moment you’re not around? Lisa Valentine Clark and the Council of Moms—Julie Suazo, Erika Price, and Dr. LaShawn Williams—take on the challenge of raising kids who sometimes act one way at home and another in the world. From teaching your child that they carry your family’s name, to helping them see childhood as practice for making good choices, the moms share insights on guiding behavior you can’t always correct in the moment. They also talk about the power of sitting down with your child and asking, “What do you think someone should always be?” to help them define their own values. This conversation is full of perspective, honesty, and ideas for shaping kids into thoughtful, responsible decision-makers—whether you’re there to watch or not.
