the art of listening, right?

Like, whoa, what an opportunity we have here to teach.

How do we show others we're paying attention to them?

This is not just with our young kids and their friendships, but man, if we can really get

our kids to get better at listening, like talk about what we're depositing into their

future relationships and into their

one-day marriages, like what an art listening is. We can teach them like when you're listening

to someone, you look at them. You look at them in the eyes, right? You put away your phone or your

screens. You turn your body so that you're facing them and you stay quiet and you listen

and you're not just thinking about the next thing you're going to say, but you're actually listening.

And then we can teach them like, how do we have appropriate facial expressions, right? If someone is

telling us something really sad or really tough or really vulnerable, like how do we show compassion, right? If someone is telling us something really sad or really tough or really vulnerable,

like how do we show compassion, right? How do we show it in our face and in our body?

How do we show empathy or kindness with others? So I think each step of interacting with

others, it can be taught and it can be practiced.

Welcome back to the motherhood podcast, a live workshop-style podcast that is helping

thousands of moms redefine their motherhood journey.

There was a point in my life when I was trying to do all the things, parent my kids,

pour into my marriage, run a busy law practice, keep up my home.

And what I found was that I was on the fast track to burnout until I discovered a better way.

Now I help women just like you to close the gap between their vision of motherhood and what they're actually experiencing in their day-to-day lives.

Together, we'll explore when and where to simplify, systemize, and surrender.
