Listen Later

If you’re ready to break free from old patterns and start fresh, this episode is for you! In this heartwarming episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy dives into one of the most transformative truths about parenting: "Why Short-Term Fixes Don’t Get You Long-Term Results." Many of us have been there—falling into the trap of quick fixes like yelling, bribing, or punishing when we’re overwhelmed. But while these approaches might feel like a momentary win, they often lead to bigger challenges down the road.


Wendy opens up about her own parenting journey and shares powerful stories from the families she’s helped. She unpacks how traditional parenting methods, rooted in control and the myth of instant obedience, can undermine trust and connection. Instead, she offers a roadmap to help parents focus on empathy, emotional literacy, and long-term strategies that truly empower both parents and kids. Tune in to make this the year you create a joyful, lasting legacy for your family.
