PODCAST RE-RELEASE - I feel like summer is the best time to be a connected parent because it’s the time where you are less busy.

Usually, there’s more vacations, or at least some of the major things that kids are doing during the year have slowed down or stopped and there’s time to connect and regroup.

Overall it’s a time to really slow down, enjoy life and each other.

For this reason I like to make summer all about mirroring and connections and in today’s episode I want to do a quick kind of review and recap of the two.
