What’s really holding you back from the family life you dream of?

It’s not your schedule, your income, or your intentions. It’s the quiet belief that it simply isn’t possible.

Relationship expert Adam Lane Smith returns to the show to help us understand where we are falling short and how to close those gaps with practical, learnable skills. He shares how to make your time with your kids truly count, how to teach them to ask for what they need, and how to build the emotional security they will carry into adulthood. This episode is your blueprint for a thriving home life.
