The Parenting Framework Every Family Needs

One of the biggest challenges parents face today is creating a real connection with their kids in a world where phones and screens dominate so much of their attention. And here’s where it really hits home. We only have “18 summers to create lasting connections” with our kids before they become adults, so why not make the most of it? Today, I’m joined by two of my favorite people, Mike and Lindsay McCarthy. Mike and Lindsay are the co-authors of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families and the Miracle Morning for Parents and Families Playbook. Mike is also the CEO and co-founder of the Gobundance mastermind and co-created Fambundance with his wife, Lindsay. Together, they’ve spent more than a decade helping families create stronger relationships, healthier communication, and intentional family meetings and habits through events and their family legacy framework. In our conversation, we talk about the systems and values that have helped them create a deeply connected family culture, how intentional parenting evolves as your kids grow older, and why creating shared experiences and family traditions can shape your children long after they leave home.
