    Results Don’t Lie: Become the Parent Your Kids Believe
    2025/10/09
    Are you torn between protecting your kids’ mental health and preparing them for real-world stress?Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don’t inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You’ll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it.What we cover:Identity over willpower: why saying “I’m not a smoker” beats “I’m trying to quit.”Anchor, don’t apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship.Results don’t lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can’t ignore.Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them.Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate.Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front.Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins.Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you’ll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits.Key Takeaways✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example > force.✅ Model hard things. If you don’t, they won’t.✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things.✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that’s how trust is built.✅ Iterate, don’t implode. When it’s not working, change your approach, not your ideals.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections03:18 Goal Setting and Identity Transformation03:31 Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges05:02 The Balance of Comfort and Growth05:30 Building Resilience Through Experience08:44 Adapting to Life's Punches09:59 The Journey of Parenting and Education12:19 Embracing Failure in Business and Parenting13:59 The Importance of Adaptability and Learning17:21 Influence Through Results and Personal Example19:32 Living an Extraordinary Life as a Family22:34 Teaching Resilience Through Real-Life Challenges24:58 Iterative Learning and Effective Communication28:39 The Power of Persistence in ParentingMemorable Quotes🗣 “Be the anchor—don’t be the pressure.”🗣 “Results don’t lie.

  • What We Gave Up to Build an Extraordinary Family Life

    What We Gave Up to Build an Extraordinary Family Life
    2025/10/08

    Are you afraid to give something up—even if you know it’s holding your family back?What if the “sacrifice” you’re resisting is the exact bridge to the life you actually want?


    In this powerful conversation, Greg and Rachel answer a listener’s question inspired by James Allen: “He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” They share the real sacrifices they made to build an extraordinary family life—from walking away from comfort and conformity to investing tens of thousands into personal growth, ditching entertainment for education, and choosing experiences and character over stuff. You’ll learn how to overcome the fear of loss, handle others’ opinions, and trade short-term ease for long-term joy, health, and purpose.


    Big idea: It’s hard to call it a “sacrifice” when what you get back is better than what you gave up. Bottom line: The most important investment you’ll ever make is in yourself—and then in your spouse and kids.


    Key Takeaways:

    ✅ Comfort is costly—trade it for purpose, health, and momentum.

    ✅ Invest in yourself first, then your spouse and kids.

    ✅ Entertainment steals growth; education multiplies it.

    ✅ Ditch “peacock pageantry”—results beat credentials.

    ✅ Own your outcomes—no blame, no excuses.

    ✅ Failure ≠ final—it’s fertilizer for your future.

  • How to Stop Yelling and Stay Calm as a Parent

    How to Stop Yelling and Stay Calm as a Parent
    2025/10/02
    Are your kids’ fights setting off your emotions—and the whole house?Most parents try to “fix” kids’ behavior to feel better. In this video, Greg & Rachel flip the script: change your emotional state first, and your family dynamics follow. You’ll learn how to stop masking (“trying to stay calm”) and start being emotionally authentic—so you model regulation your kids can actually imitate.We unpack practical tools to raise your family’s emotional thermostat—even on low-sleep, low-food days: breathing exercises, light movement, gratitude micro-meditations, future journaling, and morning routines that shift your biochemistry fast. You’ll discover why sleep and nutrition are foundational, how to process triggers and “memorized emotions,” and how to radiate steadiness kids naturally copy.Big idea: Nothing gets better until you do. When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing.Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect.Key Takeaways✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows.✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad.✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression.✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better.✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast.✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose.✅ Mentor, don’t micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills.Memorable Quote:🗣️ “Nothing gets better until I do.”🗣️ “Kids imitate without regulation—set the state you want repeated.”🗣️ “Trying to be calm isn’t calm. Authentic peace is felt, not faked.”Chapters00:00 Navigating Emotional States in Parenting01:10 The Impact of Emotions on Family Dynamics02:28 Understanding Emotional Responses and Reactions03:54 The Role of Self-Care in Emotional Well-Being05:29 Practicing Emotional Authenticity06:51 Strategies for Changing Emotional States08:21 The Ripple Effect of Parental Emotions10:44 Emotional Literacy and Family Dynamics12:21 The Emotional Thermostat of the Family16:24 Understanding the Emotional Thermostat20:58 Practical Strategies for Emotional Regulation24:11 The Role of Parenting in Emotional Development27:37 Seeing Children's Behaviors as Cries for HelpRESOURCES:Let us help you in your extraordinary family life journey.How We Raised 7 Well-Adjusted Kids - Without Yelling, Tantrums, Punishments or Power Struggles (+ get THE CHECKLIST: Things We Do Every Day to Raise Well-Adjusted Kids)Rachel’s ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ or ⁠@greg.denning⁠Don’t miss out on the Extraordinary Parent Mentoring Method class!Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠Get Rachel’s Extraordinary Family Life PlannerJOIN GREG'S 90-DAY HEALTH & FITNESS CHALLENGE!
