We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback.

Join me and my friend, Missy Hydes,  as we delve into week two of our conversation. In this episode we will discuss the art of parenting and the delicate dance of family relationships. Imagine creating a home where actions speak louder than words, where trust is built on the solid ground of open communication, and where our children see in us the example of patience and self-awareness we hope to inspire in them. This episode is your key to unlocking the doors of understanding and growth, especially vital for those teenage years that can test the bonds of even the strongest families.

Missy and I unravel the threads of fear that often tangle our best intentions, revealing how to foster a calm and nurturing environment that allows our teenagers to blossom into powerful individuals in their own right. Imagine a home where the fruits of the Holy Spirit guide us, where love trumps fear, and where our daughters and sons learn autonomy and the priceless lessons from natural consequences. We navigate the delicate balance between guiding principles and personal preferences, ensuring that as parents, we're not just leading with authority, but with a love that empowers and educates.

Finally, we will discuss the art of setting healthy relationship boundaries, understanding that true listening involves hearing our children's feedback without an immediate rush to defense. Missy and I examine the significance of avoiding absolutes in our language, and setting personal limits that breed respect and joy. strong, wise, and loving families.
