Join us on a journey of intentional parenting as we explore the profound impact of being present and mindful in our roles as parents. Listen in as I, Kori, share insights alongside our special guest, Aaron Stroman, host of the Intentional Father podcast. Together, we navigate the transition from youth ministry to fatherhood, where Aaron candidly reflects on the challenges and rewards that accompany raising children, particularly through life's changes such as divorce. Our conversation underscores the importance of understanding the reasons behind children's behavior and the critical role the family plays in shaping them. By sharing personal stories and experiences, we emphasize how prioritizing quality time and attention can guide our children effectively, even amidst personal challenges.

This episode also examines the stark contrast between parenting with intention versus by accident. We highlight how parents may unknowingly pass on their limitations and the value of self-reflection in overcoming these barriers. The narrative includes anecdotes of involving children in our professional lives, illustrating how this can offer them a deeper understanding of our responsibilities. We discuss fostering connection over compliance, particularly during the teenage years, and the significance of modeling resilience and perseverance as parents. Through this engaging dialogue, we aim to inspire a thoughtful approach to parenting that prioritizes love, time, and self-awareness, encouraging a growth mindset and providing children with a nurturing environment to thrive
