Children don’t just listen to our words; they absorb our tone. In this episode, I talk about slowing down, naming emotions, and turning correction into connection.

I share how I learned to apologise to my kids when I got it wrong, and how that single habit built more trust than any lecture ever could.

You’ll hear simple phrases that help kids feel safe enough to listen, and how calm presence does more teaching than a thousand words ever will.

If this relationship feels like walking on eggshells, you’re not alone. In this episode, I talk about how to set healthy boundaries with kindness, how to translate criticism into context, and how to keep your peace without cutting ties.

I’ll share gentle scripts for tricky moments and a faith-anchored reminder that honour doesn’t mean submission.

You’ll leave with practical tools for protecting your heart while still showing respect, and maybe even finding small moments of genuine warmth along the way.

So often we react to words and miss the need underneath them.

In this episode, I help you listen beyond the surface, to the longing for respect, belonging, or reassurance that sits beneath so many arguments.

I share examples from my own marriage, my parenting, even my friendships, where hearing the need instead of the words changed everything. You’ll learn a few questions that soften tension and build empathy.

It’s not about fixing people, it’s about seeing them.
