3937 Put the "Parent" Back in Parenting
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too many parents today are caught chasing the mirage of “being friends” with their kids — seeking approval and camaraderie instead of stepping fully into their role as parents. Let’s be blunt: parenting isn’t about winning a popularity contest. It’s about showing up as the adults who love fiercely, set firm boundaries, and deliver discipline that actually sticks. If you want your children to thrive and leave a lasting impact on the world, you must put the “parent” back in parenting. Why Parents Must Parent, Not “Friend” Friendship with your kids can seem like an easy,...

3936 Live Fully Alive
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Oftentimes, we push ourselves at breakneck speed—racing to check boxes, chasing the next big win, believing that if we just move faster, work harder, and try more, success will finally land in our lap. But as John De Paola said, “Slow down, and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.” In a world obsessed with hustle, this is not a call for complacency. It’s an invitation to step off the relentless carousel and rediscover the power of intentional living; live fully alive! Too many of us tie ourselves to the chains of past failures, letting every missed shot dictate...

3934 Quit Waiting for a Guarantee
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t hand out guarantees. No matter how much you want a smooth ride or a sure win, it simply doesn’t work that way. Success, growth, and reaching your goals come from one thing above all else—intention. How you think, decide, and act every single day shapes whether you make it across the finish line. So quit waiting for a guarantee. When you’re chasing something brand new—whether it’s launching a business, changing careers, or mastering a skill—there’s no autopilot.

3933 How Grief Affects Your Mindset
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one. It’s a full-body, mind-consuming response to any meaningful loss: a job, a home, a relationship, a dream gone sideways. If you don’t understand how grief rewires your mindset, it can trap you in a mental box where all you see is what’s broken—and how far you are from climbing out of that dark hole. When you understand how grief affects your mindset, you get why you're paralyzed, stuck replaying the what, why, and how over and over, missing the possibility of what’s next. So let’s get real: grief is brutal, disorienting, and...

3932 Stand Firm on God's Holy Ground
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Walking in step with God is never a passive journey, especially when the world around you seems determined to pull you off course.

How do you fight this spiritual battle without losing your soul? Stand firm on God's Holy ground. You must begin to recognize the battlefield beyond the visible, only what...

3931 Dream Bigger Together
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The new year brings that electric buzz of new beginnings and fresh possibilities. When you’re married to your person—the one you dream about and build life with—it only makes sense to dream bigger together.

3930 Intentional Parenting that Moves Mountains
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every new year brings a fresh chance to hit the reset button — including how you show up as a parent. But let's be real: parenting is hard, exhausting, and often thankless. If you coast through it, thinking your kids will "figure it out," you’re setting everyone up for frustration and chaos. Kids need more than just food and shelter; they need consistent guidance, love, and boundaries; it's intentional parenting that moves mountains. Because when you slack off, what you get is exactly what you put in — kids who push limits, test boundaries, and fill the void left by absent parenting....

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The first day of a new year holds something rare—a stillness amid the noise, a quiet space where hope and possibility stretch out like an open road.

The misconception is that success hides only in the unexplored, the unfamiliar, and the untried.
Ironically, this chase often leaves us exhausted and disillusioned—burnt out by the pace yet no closer to our goals.
But what if you gave yourself permission to slow down?
What if instead of grinding harder, you paused long enough to take stock?
Imagine the freedom to experiment, to win and lose without fear, without letting setbacks define your journey. Imagine clearing the clutter from your mind and heart to see what is truly possible, right here, right now.
Create your now!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Live fully alive!
The start of a new year is the perfect moment for this kind of reset—not by setting rigid rules about what you can’t do, but by making space to let go of what hasn’t worked and embracing what might.
This isn’t about less ambition; it’s about smarter ambition. It’s about trusting that your goals will meet you when you slow down enough to focus, refine, and prepare.
You are created for more. Settling for less is a choice, not a destiny. The paradox to all of this: slowing down might be exactly what you need to accelerate your progress.
Slow down to speed up.
So take a deep breath, clear the noise, and show up for yourself with intention. Everything you’re chasing isn’t a moving target—it’s waiting patiently for you to catch up.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
