Ever wondered how you can transform your parenting approach to build stronger connections and create a positive environment for your kids? We were fortunate to have Shruti Kumar, a parenting coach, founder of Empowered Connections, and former international lawyer, as our guest who shared her personal parenting struggles and how they led her to help others foster resilience in their children through connection, joy, and empathy.

We dug deep into the art of effective communication, including the power of reflective listening and empathy. By understanding our children's inner world, validating their feelings, and needs, we can build stronger, more positive relationships.
