Something a little different: this episode is an overview of Blackbelt Parenting, an unpublished book I wrote about principles from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts and how they can be applied to relationships and parenting.I sent the manuscript to Google Notebook LM and it created this episode. "These excerpts explore parenting through the lens of martial arts principles, drawing parallels between the disciplines needed in fighting and raising children. The author suggests that strategies for overcoming challenges in martial arts, such as discipline, resilience, and adaptability, can be effectively applied to navigate the complexities of parenthood. The text examines various aspects of parenting, including managing conflict, setting boundaries, overcoming fears, fostering connection, and practicing self-care, often using analogies from fighting and grappling techniques. Ultimately, the sources advocate for a mindful, courageous, and love-centered approach to both martial arts and raising children, emphasizing personal growth and the development of strong relationships."Let me know what you think.

Zach Tidwell is a completely blind Marine Corps veteran and suicide survivor sharing his story in hopes of saving lives and getting our society to have the tougher conversations we tend to avoid. After serving honorably as a machine gunner for four years, Zach reached the point where he didn’t want to be alive anymore. Everything looked fine from the outside— he was working and going to school full-time and keeping up appearances, but he was dying inside. An unfortunate combination of personal circumstances, head injuries, and a lack of healthy coping skills led him to stay silent whilst self-medicating with alcohol. On March 31, 2019, he held a gun between his eyes and pulled the trigger. The attempt left him completely blind and deaf in one ear, but he had a new perspective and has entirely redefined himself in the years since. Today he’s a self-taught, award-winning software developer and entrepreneur making the digital world a more accessible place for everyone. He’s a speaker, and he’s working on the second draft of a memoir that dives into all of his struggles and successes, mistakes and triumphs. He’s also an athlete— he skis, rock climbs, whitewater kayaks, surfs, and even competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu against people without any disabilities— amongst other things.

My guest for this episode of The Courage, Coaching and Couneling Podcast is Dr. Mark M. McNear. Mark is a Licensed Psychotherapist who has over thirty years of experience in clinical work through his private practice in New Jersey. He is a graduate of Northeastern Bible College, New York University, and Oxford Graduate School. Dr. McNear specializes in helping people who have experienced trauma in their life, as well as the maladaptive behaviors that spring forth from their woundedness. Yet, Dr. McNear doesn’t approach his clientele purely from a clinical perspective but as someone who also has experienced severe trauma in his life and the healing power found in Christ. In his recent memoir, Finding My Words: A Ruthless Commitment to Healing Gently after Trauma, Dr. McNear reveals he suffered a traumatic and abusive childhood. He suffered sexual abuse and physical abuse starting at the age of four and was repeatedly told he was stupid, a fool, and trash. Dr. McNear hid these abuses deep in his heart for many years – until they caught up with him. Today, Dr. McNear seeks to help others find the freedom and healing in Christ that he himself received once he faced his own traumatic past. In addition to his private practice, Dr. McNear has been a speaker to audiences nationwide. He has also been a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio broadcasts, authored articles and Op-eds, and been a co-host panelist for a video series dealing with Christianity and Mental Health.

Six months since the last episode! I&#39;m still alive! Been a busy year with family and BJJ. I&#39;ve been training and coaching more Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since earning my black belt in Jan after 23 years. I also started the Sovann Pen BJJ YouTube channel and The Uncle Wristlock Podcast. And we added two grandkids in the last eight months. This podcast is to encourage you and your family at the start of the school year. This year my wife Julie is teaching high school and jr high science again. And my daughter is starting another year of college in Seattle. This is the first time using Riverside to record an episode instead of Zoom. What do you think?
