Welcome to the Motivated Parent — a podcast that motivates parents with genuine advice and laughter. We, Stacy and Armando, are excited you are here. We hope that with each episode, you gain some valuable insight and apply it to your lives. Parenting is one of our most significant accomplishments, but it isn't always easy. It's a daily adventure into the (sometimes) unknown territory. We realized a while ago that we wanted to give the best of ourselves to our kids and decided to make that happen by being "The Motivated Parent." More so, we are happy to be parenting together alongside our listeners.

  1. 67. Do You Splurge as a Parent?

    67. Do You Splurge as a Parent?

    We explore splurges that parents should consider—and they aren't necessarily what you think! This episode has three categories: Indoor, Outdoor, and on the Go. Armando and Stacy try to keep these splurges on the cheaper side, and they are all for parents—no children allowed.  Stacy's favorite splurge is in the "On the Go" category. It's one way to spark new ideas in any parent, especially the parents who want to get away from crazy parenting.  Armando's splurge is in the "On the Go" category, too, but it's not what you'd expect!     Episode 67 is ReAir of Season One, Episode 19.      Join our community!

    Blast From the Past! Childhood Movie Edition

    Blast From the Past! Childhood Movie Edition   Take a stroll with us as we list our favorite childhood movies that are great to share with the kids. We only discuss movies from the '80s and '90s since those are the decades we were kids. It truly is a "Blast from the Past" talking about these movies, as many are classics and stir up emotions in us. Armando and I have let our kids watch most of these; they love them just as much as we do. So take the trip down memory lane, and you won't be disappointed.  Episode 66 is ReAir of Season One, Episode 18.        Episode 66   Join our community!

    Is Mushroom Mania Parenting the Psychedelic Renaissance?

    Are you willing to "microdose" on magic mushrooms to take the edge off of parenting? Mushroom Mania is the Psychedelic Renaissance of our time. Parents are turning to mushrooms to help them navigate parenthood and deal with the past trauma of their childhoods.    Armando and Stacy discuss a Harper Bazaar article about "Mommies Who Mushroom" and whether they would ever try mushrooms for the good or bad effects and to make them better parents and spouses.  Would you use psychedelics in a controlled setting or pass on the entire experience?     Episode 65 is ReAir of Season Two, Episode 11.      Episode 65   Join our community!

    64. Where is Armando?

    Thank you for all the birthday wishes! If you missed Stacy's 40th Birthday episode, listen to episode #63.  All things are volleyball here, but also, we are in the stage of Quinceńera planning for Reagan! Armando is still out of the studio, and his internet connection is miserable. Fingers crossed, he will be with us soon to record and tell us about his travels.  Until then, we'd love to talk if you'd like to share a story on our show or even sit behind the mic and record with us. Please send us an email or reach out on social media!

  6. 62. Emergency Preparedness: Easy Ideas for Your Family

    62. Emergency Preparedness: Easy Ideas for Your Family

    Emergency Preparedness: Easy Ideas for Your Family We recently watched the Netflix movie Leave the World Behind, which made us realize that we needed to prepare for the 2024 hurricane season. We live on the coast, so hurricanes are a big deal for us, and we like to be prepared. Natural disasters happen more frequently than we'd like to admit, and being ready reduces your stress when they hit.  In this episode, we go over some easy ideas to get ready for any natural disaster or even maybe something more nefarious like a cyber attack. Whatever you're preparing for, we are not diving deep into the prepper world in this episode. We discuss some smaller and more easily accessible items you can get, most of which won't break the bank.    Episode 62   Join our community!

    60. Valentine's Day - The Good, The Annoying, and The History

    Valentine's Day - The Good, The Annoying, and The History  Valentine's Day is upon us, and it's not one of Stacy's favorite holidays! Armando and Stacy dig into the good, the annoying, and the history of this holiday of all things hearts, chocolates, and flowers! You might be shocked to learn that gifts are overrated; Russell Stover has the best chocolates, and balloons with gifts inside them are impressive.  Laugh with us over our off-topic tangents and why Stacy doesn't like to speak Spanish with her southern accent.    Episode 60 Join our community!
