Summary
Head to cozyearth.com and use code VANTALK for an exclusive 20% off! I this episode of Van Talk, we’re talking about aligning on parenting and creating clear standards within the home. We share what it means to “train the heart” when raising kids, focusing not just on behavior, but on character, attitude, and intention. We also talk about avoiding guilt-based parenting. Our kids aren’t here to fill our emotional cup, and we’re not raising them out of obligation or pressure. Instead, we aim to raise kids who understand the values and standards of our household. The conversation also touches on balance for moms, how to continue doing things you love while raising kids, and why self-care doesn’t have to come at the expense of your family.We get into practical topics too, like setting boundaries around gifts, birthdays, and holidays so kids don’t grow up expecting excess, and how family gatherings can reinforce connection instead of material focus.
