  #36 Your Child's Biggest Challenge Won't Be Finding A Job (Part 7) 07.08.2026 20min

  We've talked about jobs. We've talked about skills. But underneath all of that is a much bigger question... What are we actually preparing our children for?

That's the conversation we're having in this episode. 🎥 This is Part 7 of our free 9-part miniseries, Raising Kids in the Age of AI, where we're helping parents rethink education, success, and what it really means to prepare children for the world they're inheriting.

  We've spent years asking whether AI is getting smarter. But what if that's the wrong question? What if the real question is what happens to our children as they grow up with it?

  #31 Should You Ban AI for Your Kids? Here's the Better Option (Part 2) 31.07.2026 16min

  Can you really protect your children by banning AI? Is unlimited access the way to go? In Part 2 of Raising Kids in the Age of AI, let's dive into the two extremes many parents fall into: the lockdown parent and the free-reign parent. While they seem like opposite approaches, they share the same problem: what's actually happening is they remove parents from one of the most important conversations of this generation. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why banning AI may not be enough - Why unlimited access isn't the answer either - The "third way" that prepares children instead of simply protecting them - How to think about AI like previous technological revolutions - Why optimism matters just as much as guardrails This is Part 2 of our free 9-part miniseries, Raising Kids in the Age of AI that is designed to help parents navigate one of the biggest shifts of our lifetime with clarity, confidence, and hope.

  #28 The Questions That Keep Parents Up At Night 24.06.2026 5min

  She's standing at the kitchen counter, eyes welling up: "I'm the only kid in my whole grade without a phone." And just like that, you're the villain in your kid's story. If you've ever felt your resolve crack in real time over something like this, this one's for you. I break down exactly what's happening when your kid pulls out the big emotional artillery — and why agreeing with their feelings doesn't mean you have to cave on the rule. You'll hear the exact words to say when your child pushes back, why phone at "middle school" (or whatever your line is) isn't cruel, it's a gift, and the one mindset shift that turns "I'm being mean" into "I'm being the parent she actually needs." This answer came straight from Ask Avital — built from years of real coaching conversations I had done, so you get the same straight talk and tough love at 11pm on a hard night, not just in a session. If this resonates, you can ask your own question (first 3 are free) at https://ask.hifam.ai. Hold the line, mama. She'll survive it. So will you. #askavital #hifam #parenting

  #27 Parenting Advice When You Need It The Most 18.06.2026 5min

  What happens when you combine over a decade of parenting coaching, thousands of coaching calls, and modern AI? You get Ask Avital — an AI trained on my parenting philosophy, methods, programs, and real-world coaching experience. In this episode, I show you exactly how it works by testing it on a real parenting question: A mother discovers her 14-year-old secretly scrolling on his phone at 2AM after breaking a family agreement. How should she respond? You'll hear the answer Ask Avital gave, how closely it matches what I would personally say, and why personalized parenting guidance matters so much more than generic internet advice. Because while most parenting challenges look similar on the surface—screen time battles, sibling rivalry, homework struggles, disrespect, bedtime issues—every family is different. That's why I created a tool that can help you think through your specific situation whenever you need it.  ✨ Your first 3 questions are free: https://ask.hifam.ai And if you enjoy practical parenting advice that combines warmth, boundaries, and common sense, subscribe and join the HiFam community.

  #26 Parenting With Boundaries AND Warmth (You don't have to choose) 27.05.2026 25min

  You don't need to choose between being a loving parent and a firm one. So many parents leave gentle parenting behind… only to swing too far into coldness, constant correction, exhaustion, and guilt. You start holding boundaries, but suddenly you feel harsh, disconnected, or emotionally distant from your child. In this episode, I break down how to bring warmth back into your parenting — without becoming permissive, anxious, or emotionally overinvolved. We'll talk about: • Why warmth is a skill (not just a personality trait) • The simple behaviors that instantly make children feel loved • Why so many exhausted parents default to efficiency instead of connection • The difference between secure attachment and obsession with "connection" • How to create closeness without long bedtimes, endless special time, or burnout • The parenting balance children actually need: warmth + structure And most importantly: You probably haven't lost connection with your child. You just need to stop parenting from fear. If this resonates, share it with another parent who's trying to find that balance too.

  #25 You Are More Than Your Hormones! 20.05.2026 22min

  What if one of the most "empowering" trends for women…  is actually making us feel more powerless? A recent conversation with one of my students completely stopped me in my tracks. She said: "I feel like a walking bag of hormones." And it opened up a much bigger conversation about modern hormone culture, cycle syncing, female identity, emotional resilience, and what young women are being taught about themselves. Now to be clear: Hormones are real. PMS is real. Postpartum is real. Perimenopause is real. But somewhere along the way, many women started absorbing the message that we are entirely at the mercy of our biology. In this episode, I unpack: - The rise of cycle syncing culture - The good parts of hormonal awareness - Where I think the conversation goes too far - The mindset shift I desperately want young women to hear - And why I believe women are far more powerful than this narrative suggests This is nuanced. It's compassionate. And it might challenge the way you think. Stay until the end because the message I would give my own daughter is the most important part. __________________ Have a question you want my take on?
