Plenty of research talks about how a parent's interaction with their child will affect that child's future. It's called attachment theory, which boils down to the consistency and the quality of a parent's interaction with their child. The research shows there are four primary outcomes in attachment theory, but the only positive one is secure attachment. Secure attachment means that the child will believe that mom and dad will always be there when they need them.
There are seven characteristics of strong families, the most important being quantity of time, not quality. The question is, what is most important to you? Financial stability is vital for any family, but is there a way to balance your work and family life?

Can you imagine what transformation awaits you if you simply choose to slow down? In this episode, I invite you to journey with me through my four-month sabbatical, a time that began with resistance and ended with profound personal growth. Inspired by a conversation with Luke LeFevre, his words about the importance of slowing down initially felt daunting. However, embracing this leap of faith led me to reevaluate my life's pace and rediscover inner peace and clarity.
March was a turning point when mental fog and indecision signaled the need for a break. Leaving work was a rollercoaster of exhilaration and fear, filled with worries about my company's fate without me. This sabbatical wasn't just a vacation—it was a complete lifestyle overhaul that shook my identity to the core. Through new routines, intense journaling, and much-needed rest, I faced the challenge of understanding my worth beyond professional success. The first three weeks were especially turbulent, but they laid the foundation for the clarity and peace that followed.
The journey wasn't purely personal—it was deeply spiritual. I explored my life's mission and reconnected with my faith, particularly through the transformative power of Richard Stearns' book, "The Hole in Our Gospel." This spiritual quest led me to contemplate a career devoted to serving the needy, and I even considered a career change. Through prayer, stillness, and thoughtful decision-making, I found a renewed sense of purpose, especially in my work with Marriage Helper. Join me as I share how slowing down and seeking spiritual guidance can lead to life-changing clarity and fulfillment.Your Host: Kimberly Beam Holmes, Expert in Self-Improvement and Relationships
