Summary

In today's episode of the Dad Tired podcast, Jerrad is joined by his wife Leila to talk about a variety of issues facing most families: being too busy, dealing with grief, starting schooling, making big family decisions, and so much more.Questions for your local meet-up: * What do you need to seek Gods wisdom in with your wife?* What do you need to step into even though it doesn’t seem that it doesn’t seem easy or there is a peace around it?* Do you need to parent with the perspective that you’re time on earth is finite.* Are you unnecessarily busy?* What can you cut out to be more present with your family? Is there any vain work that you are doing just to fill time?* I’m what ways can you invite your kids into that may make things harder for you but in turn will grow your relationship with your children?* Have you let off the gas with your kids? How can you press in with your kids even though they may be in a different stage of life than they used to be or than your other kids?

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the dad's hard podcast. I have a fan favorite back here with me today.
0:05.0	Laila Lopes. Good to see you again with some headphones on and microphone in front of your face.
0:10.1	Thank you. Your fan favorite among the wives love when you're on. Some husbands,
0:14.8	that feels weird to say, but you are a fan favorite and glad to have you back here. I've been back
0:21.5	here since we moved, which is what we'll probably end up talking about that. I know some of you
0:25.5	guys are considering moving, so we may hit that. Like, just talk about how and why we move,

0:59.1	Layla, you've been in the medical field for quite some time. 15 years. You can probably attest to

1:21.5	telling me something. Whether it's an ear infection or you break your leg or something even more
