In this Wisdom Wednesday episode, I’m talking about one of the most underrated but powerful skills a parent can have—listening. Sometimes our kids (and even our partners) don’t need us to fix, judge, or solve their problems—they just need us to truly hear them. I share why listening first builds trust, strengthens bonds, and helps our kids feel seen and safe. Whether you’re a parent, partner, or just someone wanting to connect better, tuning in and holding space can change everything. This episode is all about slowing down, being present, and letting the people you love know their voice matters.
