Join me for a conversation about one of today’s biggest challenges: raising children beyond the pressures of consumerism. In this episode, I explore practical strategies to help kids value what truly matters—character, kindness, and resilience—over the fleeting appeal of material possessions.
We’ll look at how to teach gratitude and resourcefulness as well as how to model intentional spending. Learn how to foster stewardship, encourage generosity, and shift focus from “having” to “being,” as you prepare your children for a more meaningful and purposeful future.
Tune in to discover how simple changes in your parenting approach can shape your child’s lifelong relationship with money, possessions, and identity. Join the conversation about raising kids who prioritize faith, values, and authenticity in an ever-changing world.
