Through Their Eyes: A Conversation with Our Kids

This is a different kind of episode. For the first time ever, Nicole and Stephanie hand the microphones to their kids. Travis (T Dog) and Jojo come prepared with their own questions for the moms, and then the moms turn the tables and ask the kids. The result is sweeter, funnier, and more honest than anything we could have scripted. You will laugh. You will probably get a little teary. And you might end up wanting to do this same exercise with the kids in your own life. In This Episode How the kids decided what questions to ask The childhood memory that made one mom cry on the spot What kids think their moms are actually good at (and not so good at) The very real answers when moms ask "what do you think I do when you are not around" Rapid fire: ice cream or candy, beach or mountains, board games or video games What the kids think Grounded Growth means What makes a good mom in the eyes of a kid Sweet, Honest Moments Kids see things we miss. They notice the small lullabies, the morning walks, the way we slow down for them, the way we get nervous in front of a microphone. What Made Us Most Proud When asked what makes a good mom, the answers were not about being perfect. They were about presence. Time together. Listening. Empathy. Hugs. A Reminder for the Parent Listening You do not have to have it all figured out for your kids to feel deeply loved. You just have to keep showing up. Sometimes the best perspective we can get is through the eyes of our kids. Final Encouragement If this episode made you smile, do your own version at home. Sit down with your kids. Ask them what they think you are good at. Ask them what they think you do when they are not around. Stay grounded and keep growing.
