Ep. 66: Teaching Our Daughters about Money - and Realistic Expectations for Marriage (with Kim Anderson)
2648
One big source of conflict in marriage is financial stress. Even 2 people raised in the same socioeconomic class can have drastically different ideas about money - and how to spend it. Shaped by social media and an age of affluence, many girls treat their dates like an ATM machine and aspire to a materialistic lifestyle their young husbands can't afford. They have unrealistic expectations that lead to arguments, disillusionment, and debt. Join Kari and Kim Anderson as they discuss ways to help your daughter build healthy ideas about money and learn the value of a dollar. o Follow Kim on Instagram o Kari’s Blog - www.karikampakis.com/blog/ o Contact: kari@karikampakis.com, Instagram, and Facebook |

Ep. 64: The Good Girl in Comparison (with Mary Lauren Burdeshaw)
3700
As humans, we long to believe we are good. And for teens especially, it's tempting to gauge yourself against peers and think you're doing well when your choices aren't as bad as their choices. You're considered a "good girl" or "good guy," but what you really are is a good girl/guy in comparison. God calls us to a higher standard. He wants us to look at Jesus, not people, when seeing where we have room to improve. Join Kari and Mary Lauren as they talk about virtue and not settling for a life of spiritual mediocrity. o Contact Kari: kari@karikampakis.com, Instagram, and Facebook |

Ep. 39: Moms, Make Time for Your Friends

The best lessons in friendship often come during the loneliest seasons of friendship, and as Kari explains, those lonely seasons can help you "up" your friendship game and become the friend you hope to find.

Ep. 6: Protecting Your Teenager's Privacy
625
As moms, we want our teenagers to confide in us. We long to be their safe place and sounding board, yet earning their trust is a privilege that we lose if we betray their confidence. When parents divulge too much, teenagers shut down or quit talking together. In this episode, Kari talks about protecting your teenager’s privacy while still getting the support you need to parent through a challenging season. As your kids grow older, your circle of trusted advisors gets smaller, and being aware of what is your story to tell and what is your child’s story to tell can make all the difference in whether they share the intricate details of their lives.

1116
For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. Yet as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to gloom and doom as moms are told, “Just wait until she’s a teenager!” and handed a disheartening script that treats a teenage girl’s final years at home as solely a season to survive. In this episode, Kari talks about picking your battles, practicing healthy conflict resolution, and being on the same team. With today’s girls facing unprecedented challenges, they need parents and mentors to love and guide them – even in times of tension – with a spirit of hope, unity, and strength.
