#52 Your Kids Aren't Addicted to Screens. You Are.
You worry your kids are addicted to screens. But deep down… you know you might be, too. The endless scrolling, the quick escapes, the way it steals presence from your family—it’s not just their problem. That’s why I created Reclaim Play → https://reclaimplay.com/course — to help parents raise kids who can play independently, without needing a screen to stay entertained. Because when play is thriving at home, screen time doesn’t have to run the show. In this episode, we’re facing the truth about screen struggles and talking about what it takes to break free: ✅ How parental screen habits shape kids more than any rule ever could ✅ The hidden ways we use screens as parents ✅ Why screen struggles are less about tech—and more about leadership ✅ Practical steps to reset your family’s digital culture This is the first episode in a new series on screens and family life—helping you raise kids who thrive beyond the screen. ✨ Want more tools to simplify family life?

#51 Are Families Disappearing? The Truth About Shrinking Birth Rates
Culture is shaping how we see marriage, parenting, and even desire itself. That’s why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire ) — my membership for women who want to reignite polarity, attraction, and chemistry in long-term relationships, even when cultural messages push the opposite. Today, I’m unpacking those same culture-wide forces and how they’re driving birth rates down across the West. We’re told it’s about money, stability, or timing… but are those really the reasons? Or is something deeper happening beneath the surface? If you’ve ever questioned whether parenthood is still worth it — or felt the tension between culture’s messages and your own longings — this episode is for you.

#50 Culture is Lying to You About Motherhood
More and more women are quietly asking the same question: is motherhood even worth it anymore? Between the sacrifices, the cultural critiques, and the pressure to “have it all,” the question doesn’t come with an easy answer. That’s why I created The Studio (https://hifam.com/studio) — my membership where I help women design family cultures that feel joyful, resilient, and rooted in what actually matters. Because when your foundation at home is strong, everything else in life feels more grounded. But here’s the tension: our culture often paints motherhood in extremes. Either it’s glorified as the only path to meaning, or dismissed as a burden that drains your best years. Neither story captures the full truth. In this episode, I want to explore that tension. Let's talk honestly about the costs, the rewards, and the deeper transformations of parenthood — without giving you a packaged answer. Because this isn’t about telling you what to choose, it’s about asking the right questions. And if you’re ready to go deeper — to rebuild your mindset, rediscover play in your home, or strengthen your marriage — you’ll find that inside Alchemize (https://hifam.com/alchemize), Reclaim Play (https://reclaimplay.com), and Married U (https://married-u.com).

#49 5 Things to Stop Saying to Your Husband
When desire goes offline, everything in marriage feels harder. That’s why I created Desire Lab (https://hifam.com/desire) — my ongoing membership that helps women reignite polarity, chemistry, and attraction. Because when the spark is alive, conflict shrinks, connection grows, and everything else gets easier. But here’s the problem: today, so many couples are talking about their marriages in clinical terms. Words like unsafe, gaslighting, narcissism, or stonewalling have crept into everyday conversations — and instead of bringing couples closer, they often drive them further apart. In this episode, I share the five most common “diagnoses” put on marriages — and why those labels make things worse. More importantly, I’ll show you how to replace them with clear, honest, and practical ways of communicating that lead to repair, grace, forgiveness, and forward motion. Because your marriage isn’t a pathology. It’s a living relationship. And when you’re ready to go deeper and actually build the marriage of your dreams with the partner you already have, that’s exactly what I teach inside Married-U (https://married-u.com).

#48 Self-Help Labels - The Hidden Harm of Personal Growth
Mindset is everything. It shapes whether life’s challenges make us stronger — or keep us stuck. That’s why I created Alchemize, my signature mindset course where I teach you how to transform struggles into strength, and turn setbacks into resilience - https://hifam.com/alchemize Because here’s the truth: self-help promises transformation, but too often it does the opposite. Hidden beneath the buzzwords and labels is a trap. Instead of growing, we get boxed in by identities like “people-pleaser,” “perfectionist,” “trauma survivor,” or “high-functioning.” At first, those labels feel validating. They explain why you are the way you are. But very quickly, they shrink your confidence and keep you fragile. They give language, but also limits. Instead of helping you heal, they make you feel broken. Instead of empowering you, they keep you small. In this episode, I unpack five popular self-help labels that secretly hold women back — and show you how to let them go. Because you are not your label. You don’t need another box to live in. You need freedom, strength, and the courage to face life without constant self-diagnosis. Let’s drop the baggage, quiet the noise, and get back to real growth.
