Ep: (136) How to Do Motherhood Well with Jen Jones
Description
What does it look like to lead your home with wisdom, joy, and strength—without getting crushed by rules and pressure? In this conversation, I invited Jen Jones (wife of 25 years, mom of 4, entrepreneur, pastor’s wife) back on the show to talk about values-based parenting, cultivating connection, and building a family culture that actually delights in each other.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How to lead with values, not just rules—and use them to make big and everyday decisions
Why a culture of delight over demand changes the atmosphere of your home
Simple rhythms that build trust: “toes under the table” dinners, car-ride conversations, and undivided attention
How to lecture less, listen more, and ask better questions so teens keep talking
Practicals for boundaries and scheduling when you’re growing a business and a family
If you’re craving a home that feels aligned, peaceful, and full of real connection—press play.
