Cows, Kids, and Communication Gaps with Tom

In today’s episode, Tom is back on the podcast, and we’re diving into all things cows, kids, and communication gaps. Earlier this week, Tom set out to move cattle with the kids while I stayed in for a workday. What was supposed to be a simple “fun” project quickly turned into a bit of a rodeo!The heart of this episode is communication and perspective. What seems clear to one person may feel COMPLETELY different to another! When we don’t pause to check for understanding, things can spiral quickly. In the end, this story was a reminder of the learning that comes from moments like these.
