[E210] More than Cake & Balloons: How We Show Kids They Matter
Update: 2025-04-22
Description
It’s more than cake and balloons.
What does it really mean to celebrate someone — especially our kids? Is it about big parties and perfect gifts? Or is it something deeper?
This week on the podcast, we’re talking about the heart behind celebration: the power of being seen, known, and cherished. We’ll share stories of moments we felt celebrated, and explore how simple, intentional gestures can speak louder than any party ever could.
Because at the end of the day, celebration says:
✨ I see you.
✨ You matter to me.
✨ Your needs and wants are important.
Let’s raise kids who feel this kind of celebration — every day.
