How to be an All-In Parent: Raising Amazing Chapter 1

I am so excited to be diving into the new monthly podcast feature where I am sharing highlights from my book, Raising Amazing: Bringing up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes Without Being Asked! Today we get to cover Chapter One: All-In! – Fully Embrace Your Role as Parent. 

This chapter opens with my scary experience of nearly losing my first son right after birth, as well as my honest experience with mommy-burnout. I talk about perspective, and how being all-in is a decision we make, not just a feeling we experience.  At the end I share 4 things being an all-in parent is not, and then I offer a long list of how we can show our kids that we are ALL-IN!  Find a link to get the full downloadable list of 25 ways to be all-in, over in my website show notes:
