50. Raising a Connected Family
Welcome to Episode 50! In this week's episode, I felt called to speak about raising a connected family, something I am very intentional with in my own family.
I reflect back on my own childhood, and all the areas where connection was present, including how my grandparents and parents shaped my core value of 'family.'
I also share with you all the ways that I bring connection to my own family:
- Presence time
- Family Collaborations
- The importance of honest, open communication
- How to repair the connect with our child/ren after a rupture
- Accountability and reflections
- Re-parenting ourselves
- Listening partnerships
- Plus so much more
