048: Is it Possible to Create a Peaceful Home in the Midst of a Chaotic World? with Jennifer Pepito

Healthy Parenting Handbook with Katie Kimball

The world keeps getting more and more fast-paced, and our brains and bodies aren’t really keeping up.

As moms, can we possibly create a home that is a peaceful space, a safe place from which our kids can explore?

My guest today is Jennifer Pepito, author of Habits for a Sacred Home, and we talk about just that, including:

• Why moms are naturally fearful (and what we can do about it)
• What exactly IS a “sacred home” and how do we begin creating one
• Creating order in chaotic times through basic rules of life
• The joy and benefit of passing on life skills to our kids (and some practical tips to make it happen)
• The role of cooking in developing a community of shared values within (and without) the home
• The key to better outcomes and more responsible children
• Why rules don’t work when done incorrectly
• The first step to creating a sacred home is so simple, it takes only about 10 seconds per day, per child

Jennifer is so grounded and yet practical, balanced in her approach and yet challenging.
