118: The Long Game Of Parenting With Rhonda Hunter & Sydney Smith

In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friends Rhonda Hunter and Sydney Smith for an honest, meaningful conversation about parenting in a way that cultivates lasting relationships. I've known Sydney since she was in sixth grade and now she's married. Watching the relationship she has with her parents, along with the strong relationships Rhonda has with all three of her children, has always stood out to me. Not because it was perfect or easy but because it was intentional, honest, and rooted in connection. Together, we talk about what it really takes to build healthy parent–child relationships over time, especially through the harder seasons. This is a conversation about choosing connection over control, repairing when things go wrong, and playing the long game of parenting. This episode isn't about getting parenting "right." It's about building relationships that last through honesty, humility, and intentional connection. Whether you're parenting young kids, navigating the teen years, or raising adult children, this conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and hope.
