Famous at Home

Moments matter. Unfortunately, we live such busy lives, we rarely soak them all in. Families who don’t take time to celebrate and rest, get caught up in the cultural tide of making, “So busy,” the badge of honor answer to the question, “How are you?” Being busy is not a badge of honor. Of the most productive and successful people we know, celebration is a priority. In this episode, we talk about:* How to celebrate the good in your life* How to celebrate the good in the lives of those who look to you for affirmation--namely, your spouse and kids* How to celebrate daily* How to celebrate weeklyWhen we fail to celebrate, we act like our accomplishments and influence on others didn't happen. Let's stop minimizing our value in the world and celebrate. Show Notes:Submit a question or topic for an upcoming episode by clicking here.To download the 7 Core Decisions ebook, click here.

This week, we discuss what it means to "show up." Contrary to what we might think, showing up is rarely easy. Showing up for our loved ones requires quite a bit of energy. In other words, as Christi describes in this episode, showing up requires energy to do the things that matter, even when we don't want to do them. It's like the energy it takes to choose salad over pizza, or working out over sleeping in. Choosing to get on the floor and play trains, or have a tea party, with your kids requires intention. Choosing to show up for your spouse in his / her insecurity or difficult day require energy. But it's that very energy that brings life, not just to those we love, but to our own souls as well. In this episode, we also talk about what it means to show up in our relationship with God, and how the investments of "showing up" today, pay dividends over time. Show Notes: Show up for your kids by checking in with their feelings.

Let's be honest, if we don't have a set of values that drive who we are as a family, the culture around us will dictate who we, and our kids, are becoming. This is an episode you'll want to listen to, then go back and listen to again to set your family values. We lay out how we coach families to define their family purpose, and some things to think about as it relates to putting together the values that make your family unique.

So often, we stay living on the surface because life has a way of keeping us there. We go to work. We take the kids to school. We all come home, grab dinner, and get ready for bed. Repeat.Unless we get intentional about using key moments in the day to talk about emotions, our homes can become a microcosm of the culture around us--with few people feeling heard or understood. The longer this goes on, the further apart we grow from our spouse and kids. In this episode, we talk about why it's important to talk about emotions, and how to begin doing so. We focus primarily on listening to and understanding your kids, but also how to create the environment of emotional language throughout the environment of your home. We specifically talk about: * The difference between emotional safety, empathy, and emotional intelligence * Why these terms matter for how we lead others and parent our kids* Personal examples of differentiating our kid's emotions from their behavior* How we talk about emotions in our marriage* How to help our kids feel valued and understoodShow Notes: To purchase the What Am I Feeling? children's book, click here.To set up a discovery call or inquire about the Marriage Coaching Journey with Famous at Home, click here.

In this episode, we talk about the decision to listen to what's happening within the heart of our spouse. When life gets busy, our conversation at home becomes primarily content-based (i.e. information about the day, upcoming schedule, etc.). Yet, it's the process-based conversation (i.e. how we feel about what's happening in our day) that keeps us growing as a couple and feeling connected to one another. Sure, this is conversation that takes a little extra work, especially for those of us who weren't taught to communicate this way. That's because we go on autopilot to keep up with everything we're doing, that it gets too easy to neglect our being. But you, and your spouse, deserve deeper connection. In this episode, we talk about some very practical strategies for being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. If you feel stuck in your marriage, even unsure what to talk about anymore, this episode is for you.Show Notes: Download the 7 Core Decisions to Becoming Famous at Home by clicking here.To inquire about Marriage or Leadership Coaching, click here.
