We all know there's more to parenting than simply bearing a child... and the most effective parents are the ones who actually lead. But what does that mean and how is it achieved? In this episode, DJ talked with Susan Husa, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, about leading as a parent and emulating love in the most personal and kind way. Listen as they discuss how encouraging curiosity, bringing in compassion and initiating parameters and boundaries within your family will create a collaborative environment that keeps everyone safe and on the same page.
