    Mid-Year Reset: How Are We Actually Doing

    We are halfway through the year and it is time to check in. This week Kate and Anne are getting real about their mid-year goals — fitness, health, parenting, relationships, and everything in between. Anne is in high motivation mode and Kate is learning to trust herself more. We are talking time blocking, clean eating, individual goals for each kid, date nights, and why working out might be the best therapy we can give our daughters. Plus a Father's Day weekend full of highs and lows including a drive-in movie that was a great idea until it wasn't, the most casual Father's Day that turned into the best one, and a story about Miles Russell caddying for his dad at the US Open that will make your whole day. Our tech tip this week is one every parent needs to hear right now and Kate is in her lamp era. Come check in with us. Everything is not awful: Miles Russell made history as one of the youngest players ever at the US Open and if that was not enough, his dad got to caddy for him walking up the 18th hole on Father's Day. Tech Tip: Know who your kid is chatting with, start slow with access, and use Communication Limits and Approved Contacts on Apple — and if you want the safest option, Sage Haven has you covered with even better tools coming to Apple this fall with Ask and Approve.

    Summer Hot List: Hot Is a State of Mind

    We are back from Chicago and we have thoughts. This week we are diving into our Summer Get Hot List — because hot is a state of mind and we are fully committed. From skinny shots and oral minoxidil to spray tans and a good bathing suit, we are covering everything that is making us feel like ourselves this summer. Plus our tech tip for the week is one every parent needs to hear, Kate is obsessing over a Frank and Eileen button down, and we are sharing the highs and lows of the week including why scheduling a breast MRI is an absolute nightmare. Come hang with us. Tech Tip: Research shows that devices in the bedroom are stealing your kids' sleep — we are talking up to 11 fewer minutes a night just from having a phone in the room. Charge them elsewhere and watch what happens. Obsessions: Anne’s: Target Summer Sandals Kate’s:  Frank & Eileen Red Stripe Button Down Like to watch your podcast? Watch here.

    Puberty Without the Panic

    Puberty is awkward. Parenting through it doesn't have to be. This week, we sit down with Vanessa Kroll Bennett, bestselling author, podcaster, and co-founder of Less Awkward, to talk about what is actually happening in your kid's body and brain during the middle school years. Vanessa co-founded Less Awkward and co-authored This Is So Awkward to give parents the tools, language, and confidence to guide their kids through puberty without the panic. She brings the science, the honesty, and just enough humor to make the tween years feel totally manageable. This is the conversation most parents were never given and the one every parent of a tween desperately needs. If you have a kid heading into the awkward years, or already in the thick of it, this episode is for you.

    When the Routine Goes Out the Window

    Summer is here and routines are officially hanging on by a thread. Kate and Anne are getting into all of it this week — how to manage the schedule shift when summer throws everything off, what to do when you have a kid who does not handle change well, surviving swim season, the bedtime debate when summer hits, and why everyone in the house is just too tired right now. Plus a tech tip that stopped us in our tracks — the average adult checks their phone 200 times a day and the average teen 100 times. We are talking about what that actually does to attention spans and how small habit changes can make a real difference. Highs, lows, a truly incredible teacher story that will make you tear up, and the honest truth about how we are holding it all together right now. Spoiler — barely. Everything is not awful: Kim Rohlf, a second-grade teacher at Westwood Elementary in Ankeny, Iowa, spent months handmaking personalized quilts for every single student in her class before retiring after 35 years Tech Tip: Lower distractions. The average adult checks their phone 200 times per day, and the average teen 100 times per day. It does harm attention span although data not showing that it’s permanent. If we reduce distraction we can fix it.  Notifications, delete certain apps, try to work on one thing longer.  Focus on the show and not also scrolling.  Habits can be changed!

    The Talk — Done Right

    Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson have spent decades helping parents have the conversations most of us were never taught to have. Their Birds & Bees online course walks families through how to talk to kids about sex — starting in early elementary, long before the dreaded “talk.” This episode is about giving Sage Sisters listeners the tools, the language, and the confidence to be the trusted voice in their child’s life on one of the most important topics of our time.

    Summer Without the Spiral

    Summer is coming and if you are a working parent staring down ten weeks with no structure — this episode is for you. Kate and Anne are getting into all of it. Camps versus no camps, the pressure to plan the perfect summer versus the guilt of doing too little, and what happens when Sunday scaries show up in June. They are talking about how to time block your summer before it gets away from you, why building in alone time and fun time is not selfish but necessary, and how to do a spring cleaning push before school lets out so you are not starting the summer already behind. Plus a honest conversation about why parenting feels harder than it should right now for working moms — and what to actually do about it. Tech tip, obsessions, highs and lows, and everything in between. Everything’s not awful:  Hacky sacks are back - Nostalgia and IRL play! Tech Tip of the Week  The checklist every parent needs.

    It's Maycember — Let's Talk About It

    Maycember is real and we are living it. Highs, lows, a Kentucky Derby win for the history books, Netflix drama, botox regrets, smoothie wins, and all the end of school chaos. A full smorgasbord with Kate and Anne. Everything’s not awful: first female trainer of the Kentucky Derby - Cherie DeVaux, come from behind win for Golden Tempo with jockey Jose Ortiz.  Tech Tip of the Week (Visit @sagesisterspodcast for how to video) Netflix quietly added YouTube creators to kids' profiles and we are not here for it. Salish Matter — hard pass. Here is how to block specific creators without wiping out all their content. Go to Netflix on a browser, Account → Profile & Parental Controls → select your child's profile → Viewing Restrictions → search and block by title. Also set a Profile Lock PIN so they can't just switch profiles. (Mark Rober's CrunchLabs stays though. That one earned it.)
