Want your kids to thrive long after they leave the house?

In the final episode of a very special mini-series with my 20 year old daughter Caroline, she reflects on her journey into adulthood, including the leap of faith she took moving to Japan at 18. She shares candid stories about navigating uncertainty, building independence, and finding strength in faith and communication.

This conversation offers a rare, vulnerable look at parenting coming full circle—with honesty, grace, and lots of love.
