How do you parent with your temperament, not against it? How do you speak identity over your kids in a world quick to label and criticize? In this rich, joy-filled conversation, Catholic Coaches Matt and Erin Ingold sit down with Mike and Alicia Hernon of the Messy Family Project to unpack the power of temperament-aware parenting, building strong marriages, and running a ministry as a couple without losing the heart of your home.
With over 30 years of marriage, 10 children, and a full-time apostolate, the Hernons offer wisdom from the trenches—on everything from coaching your kids with compassion, to honoring your own design as a parent, to creating intentional family culture rooted in love, joy, and spiritual leadership.
You’ll discover:
• Why understanding your temperament can radically transform your parenting
• How to raise kids who know their identity, belong deeply, and live with purpose
• What every Catholic couple needs to know before working together in ministry
• How to build a marriage that outlasts the mission
What part of your temperament has challenged you most as a parent? Let us know in the comments!
