This episode is the sixth in a series of six that talks about some key things that impact how a family operates.

In this episode, I talk about time spent together, and ask if this ties into your family culture. I share some stories about my life before kids, and after kids. I talk about some of the guidelines I set for myself and my kids to add some structure to how our time is spent. I also talk a bit about the difficult transition that can take place when you go from being a single person to a new parent.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic…

How does your family spend your time? Are you all involved in a lot of activities? Do you value time at home? Do you and your partner align with how to spend time with your kids?

In this episode, I talk about family and friends impact on family culture. I share my love of play aunties and uncles, and my closeness with my extended family. I also talk a little about how my divorce impacted our family.

How do your friends and family show up for your kids? Are you close with family? Friends? Do you keep things to your nuclear unit? Do you have estranged relatives that your kids know about? How do you manage those conversations with them?

This episode is the fourth in a series of six that talks about some key things that impact how a family operates.

In this episode, I talk about parenting styles, and some of the things that have helped me work with my co-parents. I talk about the benefit of healing, listening with empathy, understanding a bit about negotiations, and staying true to yourself. I also share my own parenting style. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic…

What is your parenting style? If you parent with a partner, what is their style? Is it similar/dissimilar?
