82. How to Connect With Your Kids When You've Been Too Busy With Work with Lori Beard

82. How to Connect With Your Kids When You've Been Too Busy With Work with Lori Beard

Many business leaders have work figured out but come home and sit on the sidelines while their kids do their own thing. If you've realized you need to spend more time with your kids but don't know where to start, this is for you.

Lori Beard is a life coach, podcast host, and mother of eight celebrating 32 years of marriage. She shares practical ways to break through when your kids are busy with their own lives, why humility bridges connection, and how service projects carve lasting values into hearts.

The truth: Relationships are the only thing you'll take with you. Not money, houses, or business success.

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

Value relationships over revenue. Practice active listening—listen to learn, not to judge. Ask your kids: "How can I be a better dad? What makes my questions feel like interrogation?"


One Challenge from Today:

It's never too late for humility. Own up to your mistakes with your children and tell them, "I'm sorry I did this." Then ask for their help as you course correct. Start with one walk-and-talk, one service project, or one book read together.
