## Resource

What if one small shift could completely change the energy of your home at night? In this episode of Tidy Tidbits , I sit down with Jon Gustin , fatherhood creator, advocate for sobriety, and author of The Tired Dad: 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most . With a community of over 1 million followers, Jon shares honest, grounded insights on parenting, presence, and what it really means to show up for your family. Together, we talk about a simple but powerful routine his family calls “Quiet Hour.” No screens. No distractions. Just intentional time together through reading, crafting, and creativity. Our family has been listening to audio books while doing diamond art . It sounds simple… but in today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, it’s actually a radical act of connection. And sometimes, the simplest routines are the ones that bring us closer to what matters most.
