    Traveling to Japan With Teens: Our Family’s Big Trip

    Send us a text In this episode, we share why our family decided to take a big step and travel to Japan with our kids. It started with a simple Christmas decision: fewer “things,” more experiences. Last year we made memories on a cruise and a visit to Florida, and this year the kids picked Japan as their top choice. We talk about how this trip came together, why we’re traveling during the school year, and how the costs can jump fast during peak summer travel. We also get into the mindset behind it all: making memories while our kids are still at home, learning how to be respectful of another culture, and preparing four teenagers for long-haul flights, airports, and customs. This is our “before we go” discussion, and we’ll be back with a Part 2 after the trip to share what went right, what went sideways, and what we’ll never forget.

    Helping Someone With Social Anxiety Without Coddling Them

    Send us a text In this episode, Patrick and Tamekia talk through social anxiety in real-life terms, what it looks like, why it feels “uncontrollable” for some people, and how couples and families can support someone without accidentally keeping them stuck. They also discuss how COVID and isolation may have made it more common, the difference between being shy and social anxiety, and practical steps that can help, like healthier habits, support, therapy options, and encouragement that builds confidence. This is an honest discussion from two different personality types, one more “push them forward,” one more “let’s understand it first,” and we meet in the middle. If you’ve got a teen, adult child, spouse, or friend who struggles with social anxiety, you’re not alone, and neither are they. Note: This episode is for encouragement and discussion, not medical advice. Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.

    Goals Without Waiting: Why You Don’t Need a New Year to Start

    Send us a text It’s easy to think you need a new year, a perfect plan, or the right moment before you start working toward your goals. In this episode of Rollin’ With the Dolans, Patrick and Tamekia talk about why waiting to feel ready often keeps people stuck. They share their thoughts on New Year’s resolutions, why reset moments can happen any day, and how small, achievable micro goals can lead to lasting progress. The discussion also covers accountability, why some people need it and others don’t, and how being honest with yourself can make all the difference. From a faith-based perspective, they reflect on purpose, obedience, and why God doesn’t wait for us to feel ready before calling us to act. If you’ve struggled with quitting goals, feeling guilty for falling off track, or waiting for the “right time” to start, this conversation is for you.

    Letting Holiday Traditions Bend Without Losing the Joy

    Send us a text In this episode of Rollin’ with the Dolans, Patrick and Tamekia talk about holiday traditions, why flexibility matters, and how being too rigid can lead to disappointment instead of joy. They share a real example of how changing their Thanksgiving plans led to a relaxed and meaningful experience, even though it looked very different from past years. They also discuss holiday blues, post-holiday letdowns, and the pressure many people feel to keep traditions exactly the same, even when life, energy levels, or family dynamics change. The conversation encourages listeners to give themselves permission to pivot, create new moments, and focus on connection rather than expectations. Whether your holidays are full, quiet, busy, or completely different than planned, this episode is a reminder that joy often comes from flexibility, not perfection.
