Description

Do you ever feel like you're racing against the clock, juggling motherhood, career, and personal aspirations? Our special guest Kari Kampakis, known for her thought-provoking books “Whose Approval Are You Living For?”, “Love Her Well,” and “More Than a Mom,” is here to share her own journey and wisdom on finding the balance in the midst of the chaos. Having started her writing journey with only 15 minutes a day while raising four daughters, Kari brings a treasure trove of insights to the table. Kari opens up about her trials and triumphs with parenting, particularly with her strong-willed child. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and affirming your child's unique personality before attempting correction. We also shed light on the crucial aspects of fostering stronger relationships, teaching healthy body image, and creating a safe space for open dialogue with our children. We also dive into the topic of prioritizing relationships amidst our busy schedules and the tricky decision of delaying kindergarten. Kari’s personal experiences provide a fresh perspective and valuable guidance. Get ready to rethink your approach to motherhood and be inspired to navigate your parenting journey with renewed wisdom and grace. In this episode, we discuss:
