After eight family experiments in three weeks, it’s time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what’s emerging beneath the surface.

In this episode, we return to TMIT base camp—our space for regrouping and sense-making. We talk through:

• What’s working
• What’s shifting
• And the invisible threads tying it all together

Two big ideas anchor this reflection:

• Keep it simple (“Floss one tooth.” 🦷): Small, consistent actions > big, over-engineered plans. Most of our changes took just 25–50 minutes a week.
• Name the invisible forces (“Make the implicit explicit.”): When we name what’s unspoken—money messages, family values, personal struggles—we get to choose what stays.

We also share moments from our community that have moved us:
Kids asking for movement after dinner.
Families starting rituals.
Adults finding words—and courage—they didn’t have before.

There’s something special happening here. And we’re just getting started.
Come join us at base camp—and get ready for what’s next. 🧡

In this episode, we explore how to make the implicit explicit when it comes to money at home. This isn’t a how-to talk about chores and allowances (no jars labeled Spend, Save, Share here). Instead, we reflect on the subtle ways money influences us—and how to start naming (and questioning) those influences out loud.

TMIT about Family Money: Accept that money influences our family culture, whether we realize it or not.

Our 3-step process to becoming more intentional about money:

1. Reflect on our own money beliefs.
2. Normalize money talk within our family.
3. Invite kids into the process.

We also discuss:

• Why reflecting on our own money stories is the first step (shoutout to Money Scripts by Dr. Brad Klontz).
• What kinds of low-stakes, everyday money stories we want to start sharing with the kids.
• A moment from Way of the Warrior Kid, where a boy buys a $2 junkyard bike and spends the summer fixing it—highlighting the value of hard work, creativity, and time well spent.
• How what we value highly (in our case, time) determines many of the choices we make daily—and what that means for the next generation.

“Movement can be a pursuit, not a punishment.”

In this episode, we explore how when families co-create movement that feels fun, chosen, and skill-building, they create lasting motivation and connection.

TMIT about Family Movement: Building intrinsic motivation through Autonomy — “I choose this.” + Competence — “I can do this.” + Connection — “I belong here.”

We also discuss:

• Why movement often becomes a “chore” instead of a joy—and how that shift happened during childhood and adolescence for Greg & Danielle.
• How the 🔗 Active 1 + FUN study leveraged self-determination theory to create co-active, side-by-side movement that built confidence, skills, and family connection.
• What a family movement experiment might look like, including choosing a new skill to try together and asking the kids to co-create the way.

🎙️ TMIT 06: The Most Important Thing About Family Space (with Experiment Update)

What makes a home nourishing to its members? In this episode, we explore how space shapes family connection, creativity, and calm.

Drawing on research from the Journal of Environmental Psychology, we discuss why perceived spaciousness matters more than square footage, and how small, intentional changes can transform how your home functions emotionally.

TMIT about Family Space: How your home feels to your family matters more than what it looks like or how big it is. If you can think through the Rhythms and Relationships in your home, you can make intentional areas to fit your family's needs.

We introduce a new 3x3 Family Space Matrix—a tool for evaluating your home across three Rhythms (Create, Rest, Play) and three Relationship modes (Individual, Small Group, Whole Family).

Then we take stock of our own home: what’s working, what’s missing, and what we’re experimenting with next.

We also discuss:

• How soft flooring, turf, and gym mats changed our family’s use of space
• The excitement of kids having their own “create + display” zones
• Where we can improve our individual rhythms
