In this episode, LFC’s Executive Director, Nichole Parks, and Executive Assistant, Amy White, reflect on the role intention has played in shaping their work together—and the ripples that have followed. They show that practicing intention isn’t a lofty ideal or an extra task on a to-do list, but a simple, powerful tool we can draw on in moments throughout the day—one that helps us thrive, and to create spaces where children can thrive.

Set Intention is the first step in the Mutual Learning Method’s Four-Part Facilitation Arc strategy. Used in sequence, this approach promotes equity by providing a familiar, predictable structure for conversation. Each part plays a distinct role in the larger goal of creating safe, equitable spaces where adults can share wisdom, build trust, and foster agency.
