Parents Making Time with Anthony & Jennifer Craiker | Intentional parenting ideas & time management tips to reduce parenting anxiety and help you stop feeling overwhelmed.
Parents! Feel like you’re missing out on your kids’ lives while also never having enough time for yourself? Want to embrace intentional parenting but don't quite know how? Career pressures, shuttling kids around, volunteer commitments, and the endless tasks of caring for your home all place enormous demands on your time and energy, leading to mom guilt, dad guilt, stress, and ultimately regret. And while you’re trying to tend to your own self-care while also being a present parent who prioritizes family connection, your kids are growing up way too fast.
Sound familiar? If so—help is here! Unlike other parenting podcasts that just give you techniques for raising children or tips on childhood development, Parents Making Time focuses on helping YOU, the parent, prioritize YOUR life so that your parenting aligns with your values. Motherhood, fatherhood, marriage, and family are what we are all about. In 15-minutes or less, this weekly podcast helps busy parents like you learn to prioritize their relationships, be more present and intentional with family time, and build a lasting legacy of love—without neglecting their own well-being or feeling regret later in life. It's not just about learning to prioritize tasks or mastering time management, it's about becoming the parent you want to be so that you can stop feeling overwhelmed, learn how to have more time, and create lasting family memories.
Leveraging their 20+ years of parenting experience raising three thriving kids and leading and mentoring hundreds of children, youth, and families in volunteer church positions, hosts Anthony and Jennifer Craiker teach parents on a tight schedule how to balance work and family, create unbreakable family bonds, prevent parent burnout, and find JOY in parenting. In other words, we help you stop being busy and start actually applying the concept of intentional living.
If you’re ready to prioritize family time each day without feeling overwhelmed, you can count on this show to teach you how to be fully present with your kids, build lasting memories, prioritize your spouse, make dinner time count, connect with your kids after work, stop missing precious moments, savor family time, discover intentional parenting ideas, and so much more—all while learning how to implement quick self-care tips, create an intentional family legacy, and parent with no regret. So, hit PLAY, and let’s get started!

What Your Mirror is Telling You | Tobi Ojekunle
Rushing through life but still feeling empty? In this conversation, Anthony Craiker sits down with Tobi Ojekunle, host of the Mirror Talk podcast, to explore how self-reflection, gratitude, and faith can realign your work and life with purpose. Tobi shares the origin of Mirror Talk—learning from other people’s stories so you don’t repeat their mistakes—and explains the two meanings of “mirror talk”: speaking life-giving truth to yourself and seeing your own journey reflected in others. You’ll hear simple, practical tools for getting unstuck: pause–reflect routines, gratitude as a daily practice, time blocking and habit stacking, and the power of being fully present where you are. They also dig into mid-career pivots, why “work–life balance” is often a myth, and how faith anchors a meaningful life. If you’ve felt alone, behind, or off-purpose, this episode will help you slow down, listen closely, and move forward with clarity.
