How often do you feel like you’re running a household, but missing out on actually connecting with your family? In this solo episode of Mom Essentials, I’m opening up about how a few small changes made a big difference in the way we communicate in our home. You'll find out why communication is as much about listening as it is about talking with some new approaches to conversations! 

Also, I share what inspired the creation of the The C.A.L.M. Family Planner, why 15 minutes a week can change your family dynamic, and how to move away from feeling like the family “cruise director” and toward a home where everyone shares the load.

We’ll talk about miscommunication, small mindset shifts, and how to start having meaningful conversations- even if your family is busy, distracted, or not exactly on board (yet).

If you’ve been craving more connection, collaboration, and calm in your home, this one’s for you. Essential Minute | The Parent Helper The C.A.L.M. Family Planner
