What if the words we use with our kids become the soundtrack they carry into adulthood?

In this honest, hope-filled conversation, Amy Hughes—mom of nine and author of Words Like Honey—shares how the smallest phrases we say (or don't say) can shape our kids’ confidence, connection, and sense of belonging.

We talk about:

  • Why awareness (not perfection) changes everything

  • The power of repair after we miss it

  • Simple ways to speak life into your kids right where you are

No matter what season of parenting you’re in, this one’s a breath of fresh air—a gentle nudge to slow down, notice the power of words in our kids lives, and choose words to build a strong foundation.
