In this episode, Kyle and Sara sit down with Lori Sugarman-Li—author of Our Home—to explore how reframing family responsibilities can transform your household. They talk about the emotional labor of parenting, why chores aren’t just tasks, and how involving kids in meaningful work builds connection, confidence, and life skills.
💡 Topics include:
- Why "helping" isn’t the same as "collaborating"
- Making invisible labor visible
- Teaching kids responsibility through shared care
- How shifting language and energy changes everything
- Creating a home where everyone feels valued
This conversation is a powerful reminder that daily routines can be opportunities for connection and growth.
