1.2 Speaking Life Over Your Kids & Raising Happy, Confident, Responsible Humans

Meet my dear friend, Erika Garcia. She is hands down, the most positive mom I know. It has always seemed to be like she must know something I don't about motherhood that keeps her so happy, even as hard seasons come. In this episode, we sit down to chat about how she talks about and to her kids. What I learned is that Erika is a super intentional parent. She takes responsibility for her mood, words, and energy when she's around her kids, and she seems to know that see sets the tone for their home.  Pay special attention to the part where she talks about verbal affirmations and apologies to her kids. I love this idea that the way she treats her kids will be what they expect in future relationships. This influence as a role model seems to empower and energize her, whereas so many moms I see feel overwhelmed by this. Throughout the episode, she also shares several tips and tricks for being more patient, honest, and intentional with kids.
