From emotional awareness to apologizing to our kids, this episode dives into how we’re parenting differently—and why presence matters more than getting it right.

Our children don’t need flawless parents; they need present ones. And every time we choose connection over control, we’re doing something powerful—even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.
