Picture this: Chaos fills the house, dinner is rushed, and meaningful conversations feel impossible. Parenting can often feel like a never-ending to-do list—but what if there was a better way?
In this episode, Kristen sits down with Shelly and Rich Howard from One Family to uncover the power of family identity, intentional communication, and simple habits—like couch time and shared meals—that transform the home into a place of connection.
Listen in to this practical, helpful conversation to hear:
· How to build a strong family identity
· Why perfection is never the goal in parenting
· How to start having meaningful conversations with your spouse—that don’t turn into a fight
Whether you're raising young kids or rebuilding trust with older ones, it's never too late to create the family life you long for.
