Send us Fan MailIn this podcast episode, Joe and Mellie Hashey joined DJ to  share their journey of embracing imperfections and cultivating a strong family. Listen in as they discuss the challenges during lockdown that prompted a cross-country move and why they  developed the "Strong Family Path" podcast which outlines seven pillars for a resilient family. Stay tuned to hear them talk about the importance of daily walks for communication, the role of humor, and instilling gratitude practices and as Mellie details their family's commitment to core values, teaching emotional intelligence, and finding gratitude even in difficult situations, fostering a positive family culture. The Hashey family was living a normal life. Joe was a high school teacher and business owner. Mell was a former social worker turned stay-at-home mom of three. Then 2020 happened and turned their family upside down. They found themselves giving up their “dream home” and moving 2,000 miles away to a town where they didn’t know anybody. It was the best thing that could have happened for their family. Joe and Mell used their experience to build the Strong Family Co. framework that any family can use to establish values and stress free family leadership.TIMESTAMPS• [15:33] Mell shares how their family's core values are written down, memorized by the kids, and used as a filter for daily choices and actions. • [21:33] Joe & Melldiscuss the need to teach children emotional intelligence and how to carry different feelings towards the same person at the same time.• [24:51] “Teach children to appreciate the good things in life by recognizing the blessings they have, even on days when things don't go as planned.” • [30:36] Joe emphasizes the importance of having an "Attitude of Gratitude" in life, even in difficult situations, and encourages parents to teach their children this mindset.For more information on the Imperfect Heroes podcast, visit: https://www.imperfectheroespodcast.com/Connect with Us!DJ Stutz - Website: https://www.littleheartsacademyusa.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/littleheartsacademy/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littleheartsacademy/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOpphCRklDJiFXdS76U0LSQDJ Stutz Booking Link: https://bookme.name/ImperfectheroespodcastCICERONE MASTERS Link:  https://www.littleheartsacademyusa.com/courses/cicerone-mastersONE ON ONE COACHING Link:  https://www.littleheartsacademyusa.com/courses/one-on-one-coaching-bundle5 Days of Service Challenge: https://www.littleheartsacademyusa.com/courses/a-new-challenge-5-days-of-serviceJoe and Mell Hashey -Website: https://www.strongfamilyproject.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialstrongfamilyco/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongfamilycoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@strongfamilyco Support the showSupport the show.If you like what you hear, we would appreciate your support.  Every little bit helps.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1779847/support
