Description

In this heartfelt episode, Lisa shares a personal moment with her almost 21-year-old son, Malcolm, that proves peaceful parenting isn't about luck—it's about legacy. She unpacks how choosing connection over control, repair over shame, and regulation over reactivity transforms not just our kids’ behavior, but their entire lives—and ours. This episode is your invitation to believe it’s never too late to build a relationship rooted in trust, not fear, no matter where you’re starting.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why your child’s trust is built through a thousand small choices, not grand gestures.
  • How to pause and regulate before reacting, even when triggered.
  • The difference between connection and control—and why connection wins every time.
  • How repairing after mistakes teaches your child safety and accountability.
  • Why unconditional love (especially when your child is struggling) is the foundation for lifelong connection.
  • That it’s never too late to create a relationship with your child built on trust, respect, and love.
