2021/08/12

Hey guys! Chris and Melissa here; recently, Chris had a conversation with a friend about finding happiness. It got him thinking about the actual definition of what it means to be happy. When we think of it, most of us think of it in terms of our kids. You’ve heard it before, “I just want them to be happy.” Maybe you have even said it yourself. But what is the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy? If you’ve been listening for a while, you know that we believe in leading by

We were amazed to find that one of the most powerful things you can do to strengthen your child and build resilience is… Storytelling!

2021/07/29

Welcome back to another Family Brand podcast! Chris and Melissa here, and today we want to unpack a seemly simple yet profound principle of life.

We believe that gratitude is the fastest and most effective way to step into the abundance mindset and kick the feeling of lack once and for all. You may be thinking “wait, I don’t have time to stop and smell the roses or anything woo-woo” We get it, it can be easy to get caught up

2021/07/22

Hey guys! Melissa here, we've been in Arizona for the past couple of weeks for a wedding, and since we are a long way from home, we figured why not make a vacation out of it? So, we planned a road trip up to Utah. One thing that may shock you is that even though we've lived in Arizona in the past, Chris and the kids have never seen the Grand Canyon. This was a must-see, in my opinion. So, we booked a night on the northern rim on our way to Utah. If you've been listening lately, then you've probably

Hey Guys! Chris and Melissa here, As every passes, it seems like life becomes more and more dependent on our phones, right? We use them to get directions to places, read emails, and more.

There will always be moments of stress in life, so finding the way to respond to our children as they learn to navigate life is crucial to us. From talking too
