On Mother's Day, She Was On The Bathroom Floor, Hungover, And Pregnant




You might not laugh very much and you might not cry, but I promise this incredibly inspiring talk will make you think really hard and see life a little differently.


At 3:40, she says something so obvious that I’ve not thought about — something that’s going to make me change how I parent my kids. I didn’t see what happened at 5:43 coming, and I certainly didn’t expect her to react the way she did. And at 10:39, I knew her life would never be the same.

Anyone Could Make This Mistake. The Fact It Happens All The Time Is Frightening.





On average, what happens in this video occurs every 10 days. Let’s try and make that number ZERO by making sure a lot of people see this video. If we can prevent just one person from making this mistake, it would be worth it, right?

Researchers Find That Chimps Are Better People Than A Lot Of Actual People




If you take a look at politics, it’s easy to see that humans are very much a what-are-you-gonna-do-for-ME kind of species. People usually make decisions based on what they’re going to get out of it. Apparently chimps aren’t quite the same. I was really blown away by the chimps[1:41-2:08]. Does anyone know the best place to find a chimpanzee friend?

They Wanted To Feel Her Pain, So She Locked Them In A Room And Told Her Story




Most kids

can’t wait to turn 18. They’re revved up for that magical step into adulthood. But when her time came, this woman didn’t celebrate. She didn’t even have a permanent home. How did she get by? She started by telling her unforgettable story.

Why Some Doctors Are Freaking Out Over A Popular Pastime We Assume Is Good For Us




Chris Nowinski is a Harvard grad turned pro-athlete who has been raising awareness of the global concussion crisis within the sports industry and its link to brain trauma. Of course adults and kids shouldn’t stop playing sports, but it’s important to understand the risks of certain types of sports before you sign yourself or your kids up.

This Is How You Earn The ‘Amazing Human Being’ Badge




What happens when special-needs kids are left alone in the care of their peers? Are they teased? Ignored? I don’t want to spoil the answer, but I’ll tell you this: Their peers completely change their lives.

The NFL May Get A Lot Of Things Wrong, But A Former Player Is Right In His Epic Rant On Parenting




Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was deactivated indefinitely from his team after admitting to repeatedly hitting his 4-year-old son with a “switch” (a small, thin tree branch) and being indicted on child abuse charges as a result.


Former Minnesota Vikings player, NFL Hall of Famer, and current sports commentator Cris Carter had one of the clearest, rawest, and most personal reactions thus far.

I Sing Along To This All The Time. But When She Does, It Makes Me Really, Really Uncomfortable.




I love rap music, and I love the creative freedom that exists within the arts. I am also no fan of art being taken out of context in order to be unfairly criticized. That said, I have been in cars, at parks, and at parties where I hear someone’s young kid recite a lyric that they too have heard in the wrong context (or, perhaps more accurately, at the wrong age). I offer this video to us all not as a cheap slap in the face to the music and culture that I love but as a mirror to ourselves, asking us where we are drawing our lines.

What We Think About This Issue And What Is True Are 2 Different Things




I can’t help but think that if we were all better educated about child labor, maybe the demand would slow for such inexpensive goods. What do you think?




There’s a chance you wanna help spread awareness about this. Luckily, that part’s easy. Just hit those buttons down there to share.

They All Thought The Mom's Boyfriend Murdered Her Little Girl. The Real Killer Was Far Scarier.




Jamie DeWolf, storyteller, has a pretty personal one to share. It involves a child abduction and abuse case, but I urge you to listen all the way through. It’s a hard listen, but an important one.




To keep informed on what is being done to protect children from abduction, please Like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children on Facebook.


UPDATE: Jamie wrote the following on his facebook wall since we published this:
“Since the release of the story, I’ve talked to people who were on the search teams marching through the hills and reporters who interviewed the Wolf face to face, and heard parts of his sickening confession from his mouth. He was worse than you can imagine. Old neighbors have messaged me who still remember the little girl who was always walking by herself.


But more importantly, the 8 year old girl who escaped is named Midsi. 15 years later, she’s grown up and now works for a missing children center and the Polly Klaas Foundation. Which is incredible. Someone posted this performance on her FB wall, and to be honest I was terrified it would be traumatizing to hear. She said, “I want to shake this man’s hand…feeling blessed.” Now I’m hoping to meet her all these years later in person. It’s a heavy thing, but thank you to everyone for helping make that happen. Let’s share this more, show it folks who haven’t seen it, it matters.”
