In honor of Father’s Day I have another special dad to share with you on the Living Life at Home podcast.
Today our guest is a businessman, a parenting educator, and the creator of the BioSocial Cognition Model, Thomas C. Rector.
He and his wife Shelly are the parents of 5 children, ages 38 to 14, and have six grandchildren. After nearly 39 years of parenting, they have developed a unique view point on raising children, education, and what it means to be a parent.
Formally opposed to homeschooling, they came to realize its advantages (and disadvantages) and on two separate occasions have opted to homeschool their children. Both times, working while homeschooling.
What makes this podcast really special to me is that Tom also happens to be my dad.
So I invite you to meet Tom and listen in while we discuss:
How his perspective on parenting has changed over the last 38 years
Why he believes parenting is the most important responsibility we have
His take on intentional parenting and why creating memories is so important, and
Where homeschooling fits (or doesn’t fit) into the education of our children
Intentionally creating memories with the grandkids
As a parent, a former foster parent, an adoptive parent, a Court-Appointed Child Advocate, and an employer, Tom Rector has developed a new methodology for interpreting human behavior and developing human potential – the BioSocial Cognition Model. So he also shares with us, what that is, and what it means for us as parents.
We got into stories I have never heard before, and discussed topics that he and I had never discussed before. I invite you to listen in to meet the most influential parenting mentor of my life, and gain another point of view on this journey we call parenting.

In honor of Father’s Day, we’re taking a twist on the Living Life at Home podcast and looking at homeschooling, parenting, and the role of a wife from a father’s point of view.
For the last couple months I’ve had the honor of working with Scott wrapping up some of the final details for his new book, and have come to really respect the message Scott brings as a dad and a person to empower others to live life with passion and purpose and to make family a priority.
I invite you to listen in on our conversation, as we discuss:
homeschooling and embracing our children’s gifts
raising special needs kids,
the lessons he has learned from his son Gabe, who has both down syndrome and autism,
the powerful role fathers have in a child’s life,
the importance of leaving a legacy, and
how we as wives can support our husbands through the challenges and life changes that arise.

Each one of us has their own personal struggle, and we are no expection. Our challenge, throughout our entire marriage, has been with debt and the stress debt and financial challenges has caused on our marriage.
Periodically I’ve shared pieces of our story, how we’ve faced - not once, but twice - overwhelming debt that equaled, and sometimes surpassed, our annual income, and how we chose not to take the bankruptcy path, and chose to work through both the financial issues and the personal relationship issues that arose along the way.
Our first major struggle with debt was due to poor spending habits, and our second was because we didn’t adequately plan for the emergencies and unexpected events that inevitably came our way.
But while we are not yet done paying off this last round, over the last 2 years we have paid off $50,000 in debt, and over the last 10 years, paid off over $100,000. It’s been in an interesting journey, one full of lessons, growth, and faith.
Recently I talked with The Business Coach For Moms, Teisha Shelby-Houston (aka Lady T) about why we made the choices we did, how & why we avoided bankruptcy, where I drew strength from during those really tough times when I didn’t know how we were going to pay for groceries, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way about being a mom, a wife, and a business person.
While it is extremely uncomfortable to discuss some of these very personal details, Greg and I hope that by doing so, we can encourage others who are facing financial challenges, and give you hope.
If you are struggling with financial uncertainity, debt, or all the challenges that arise in marriage over money, I invite you to listen in and hope that somewhere you’ll find encouragement and hope in your journey.
