    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode of Tuesday Stories with J.R. Bjornson, J.R. shares a quiet but powerful moment made possible by his life-changing glasses. For the first time in his life, he’s able to actually see the food he’s eating, not just feel it through a fork. Over a simple date night at Denny’s, J.R. experiences something many take for granted: seeing a pot roast, scooping up vegetables, and truly knowing what’s on his plate. What starts as dinner turns into an emotional reminder of how small moments can carry the biggest meaning.

  • When Being Honest With Your Kids Backfires (EP 20)

    When Being Honest With Your Kids Backfires (EP 20)
    Nov 24 2025

    In this week’s episode of Tuesday Stories With J.R. Bjornson, I dive into one of those classic parenting moments where the truth comes back around… and hits you right in the face. I’ve always believed in giving my kids straightforward,

    no-nonsense answers. But lately, I’m realizing that being a little too honest can spark some unexpected conversations, especially when your kids start repeating your words to each other like tiny philosophers in the back seat.

    From innocent questions about what happens after we die, to my boys suddenly discussing mortality like a pair of seven-year-old monks, this episode unpacks how honesty can shape them, spook them, and teach me a thing or two about gentleness, timing, and the art of sugarcoating.

    It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and it’s one of those real-life stories every parent has lived through in one form or another.

    Tune in, laugh with me, and maybe rethink how you answer your next “Dad, I have a question…
