    This is an extended discussion on our need to put the family meeting back in place on our family rhythm.

    Ep 93 - Family Dynamics Pt 5: Self-Care for Parents: Finding Balance in a Busy World

    In this episode we talk about how we are building our "perfect" week by establishing a night off for each of us so we can set aside the parent hat and use the evening to do something that we find restful. As a couple that is completely the opposite to their spouse, we have had to be very open and direct about what we need from each other which has led us to carving out nights each week to ourselves that actually help us become better spouses and parents. In this conversation we talk about how we got there and the steps we are taking to build a week that builds in restful rhythms so we can sustain what we do as a family.
