It’s hard to lead a family! It's even harder when you didn’t experience health in your own family as a child. Today, I’m walking you through what a healthy family looks like and what happens when it gets out of balance.
This is a practical, non-shaming guide to identifying what's working in your family and how to course-correct when it's not! Here’s what we cover:
1. The goal of a healthy family (5:19)
2. Signs of dysfunction vs. signs of health (8:07)
3. 6 extreme roles children get pushed into (19:44)
4. 4 simple, research-backed strategies to create harmony within your family (37:28)
