Guide to Family Meetings with Christy Keating

Tired of family meetings that end with eye rolls, groans, and everyone feeling worse than when you started? You're not alone. Most families approach these conversations all wrong, turning them into lecture sessions or crisis management instead of the connection and coordination tools they're meant to be.

In this episode, I'm joined by Christy Keating, founder of The Heartful Parent Collective and licensed attorney turned parent coach. Christy shares why most family meetings fail and the mindset shifts that make all the difference. We dive into the biggest misconceptions about family meetings, signs your family could benefit from them, and how to get started without the resistance.

In This Episode, We'll Cover:

• Why traditional family meetings feel like punishment to everyone involved
• Signs your family could benefit from regular meetings beyond calendar coordination
• How to introduce the concept to skeptical family members
• The appreciation practice you can start today at your dinner table
• Why every family needs regular communication rhythms (just like workplace teams)
