Stop Shoulding Yourself: Dolly Parton & People Pleasing

from Hey, are you still there?: Life at the intersection of Marriage, Family, Careers, and Ministry. · host Mike and Beth Gianopulos

Mike and Beth kick off this week’s episode of Hey, Are You Still There? by diving into listener responses and poll results from their question: Newborns or toddlers—which stage is harder? They compare the challenges of raising newborns and teenagers, exploring how parenting these two very different stages can be surprisingly similar—and completely different.The conversation then turns to the life and legacy of Dolly Parton, followed by Beth sharing her thoughts on the movie The Sheep Detectives. Mike puts Beth’s legal knowledge to the test with a hilarious new podcast segment, “Legal or Illegal,” where she has to determine what’s actually legal.To wrap things up, Mike and Beth get reflective as they discuss ministry and the things they would go back and change if they could do it all over again. They also discuss the difference in should vs could and how that impacts not just ministry but life decisions. A fun and honest episode filled with parenting stories, marriage, family, faith, ministry, pop culture, legal trivia, and plenty of laughs.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
