Many of us are very cut off from our emotions and our own hearts, which makes connecting with our kids' hearts almost impossible.
In this episode, we're joined by Philip and Natasha Dosa of Stay and Go. They're our community coaches for January 2026 in the Accelerator, and they talk today about the lightbulb moment that changed everything in their family (external vs internal tension), as well as tools and rhythms they've developed in their own family to connect with their children's hearts and connect their own hearts to their heavenly Father.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
2:57 The Dosa's Story
7:38 The importance of the heart
18:13 Impact on parenting
22:17 Getting from external to internal tension
26:58 How this plays out as a mother
30:05 Day to day emotional regulation
35:10 One of the greatest superpowers to keep families together
45:00 Get good at this
