Manage episode 515132965 series 3673255
What if the most powerful parenting tool isn’t another strategy, but stillness?
In this heartfelt episode, Melissa sits down with her 11-year-old daughter, Sophia, for an honest check-in about love, friendship, stress, and faith. From quiet mornings with God to poolside talks after school, they explore what helps a child feel seen and what helps a parent lead with calm and grace.
If you’re craving slower days, gentler connection, and faith-filled conversations that bring your home back to peace, this episode is your invitation.
Follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review to help more families find these moments of stillness.
