About today’s episode…

Parenting is a challenge. In today’s world, the struggle to get our children to listen to us, to do what we want, and stay out of trouble is very real.

What if there was a different way to connect with our children?

What if there was a way for us to be heard and understood by them?

Good new, there is.

The answer lies in changing the conversation.

Today’s podcast brings together two parents sharing their powerful insights on communicating from a place of love and how this changes everything. Also joining them is an adult child sharing his story, how despite the adversity and struggles in his life with substance abuse, his relationship with his Dad was healed and his own, personal life has been transformed when the conversation changed.
