In this episode, we talk about the importance of health, including physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing. In order to be the best parent, you must first take care of yourself. Just as you are told to put on your own lifejacket and air mask, take the time to get yourself right and to find balance in your own life. You cannot pour from an empty cup.
In this episode, we dive into ways we work to effectively communicate with each other, with God, with our children and even with exes.
We feel daily communication is essential, not only to a marriage, but also towards your relationship with God.
Healthy communication is also the key to building healthy relationships with your children and creating appropriate boundaries on social media, with anyone you co-parent with and finally,...
We just read a meme that says, "A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people, who refuse to give up on each other."
We need to ask ourselves, are the people in our life supporting the best version of us, or are they creating toxic ties that always seem to unravel our day? Now we must ask ourselves, if the person that comes to mind was some random stranger, would we allow them the freedom to walk all over us, to contro...
