Episode 38: Priority 4: Your Children

In today’s episode, Lisa and Laura discuss Lesson 5 of Ordering Your Priorities, Priority 4: Your Children. If you’re confused because it was your understanding that children come first, you are in good company—most of us feel that way. All the more reason to grab some coffee and settle in…this truly is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Lisa and Laura get honest about the stress parents are under, misguided goals for our children, and challenges we are facing in today's world. Whether you have children or not, there is an important takeaway for you today!<br />
