Flourish Coaching

Jul 1, 2025

In this episode, Lisa and Jeremy discuss:

Navigating the tension between building a career and staying connected with family
Developing intentional family habits to foster communication and connection
Mentorship and parenting as parallel paths of leadership and influence
The evolving dynamics of parent-child relationships over time

Key Takeaways:

Regularly engaging in open-ended, judgment-free conversations—such as a structured “questions game” with mutual vulnerability—can significantly strengthen emotional connection, trust, and communication within families.
By identifying and committing to a few foundational priorities (like faith, family meals, and academic responsibility), families can create a value-based structure that helps manage time and reduce overwhelm amid hectic schedules.
Proactively setting boundaries, building routines, and reassessing time investments can help parents transition from guilt-driven reactions to intentional presence and sustained connection with their children.
Incorporating diverse mentorship sources—like books, podcasts, and public figures—alongside personal storytelling empowers parents and teens to grow through both external insight and lived family wisdom.

“There is room for everything, so long as your priorities are in line.” – Jeremy Hill
