A big part of our lives are about relationships.  As moms, having healthy relationships with our kids plays a big part in our overall health.  I have found, in my 17 years as a mom so far, that being present with my kids really helps foster a healthy dynamic in our relationship. When you are present with someone, it speaks to how much you value them.

When your relationships are healthy and positive, especially inside the home - it reduces your stress and increases your joy.  Both of which are great for your wellbeing.

Erica, creative genius on family systems and creating moments of presence, joins me on this episode to share about:
