💖 Hey Mama,

Ever have one of those days where you want to connect with your kids—but all you get back is silence, shrugs, or “I dunno”? You’re not alone. The guilt kicks in, and you start wondering if you’re doing enough... or if you’re just missing it altogether.

In today’s Minute of Intent, I’m sharing a simple 4-question routine that’s helped me reconnect with my kids on the hardest days. It doesn’t take a ton of time or energy, and you can use it anytime—in the car, during dinner, before bed, or even on a walk.

This tiny shift has created some of the most meaningful conversations in our home. So if you're craving that sense of closeness again, this one’s for you.
