In this episode of The Lounge, I’m answering your Q&A like sharing even more thoughts on phones for kids (plus a new product I’m excited about!), whether Christians should practice meditation, and how I manage my schedule when life feels like a never-ending game of Tetris. I also share one of the hardest parenting moments I’ve had this summer—what happened, how I handled it (or didn’t), and the things God is teaching me as a parent. This episode is full of honest reflections, tiny hacks, and a handful of things I’m loving lately—including my go-to lazy dinner and our favorite family book. Come listen in—it’s casual, heartfelt, and, as always, like a long walk with a friend.
