I sit down with my dear friend and super talented life coach Kanesha Baynard to talk about the relationship we have with our parents and in-laws while also navigating our own journey as parents. Kanesha is an expert in multi-generational family dynamics and in this episode, we cover a lot of ground — the common challenges, tackling uncomfortable conversations, designing an alliance with our parents and in-laws, and much more.
If you’ve ever had a communications fail or conflict or disagreement
with your own parent or parent-in-law over some aspect of raising your
own child, Kanesha’s perspective and practical strategies will
undoubtedly inspire you to foster a dynamic that will best serve the
whole family and meet everyone’s needs in a respectful way moving
forward.
