Growing Up Simmons: What We’d Keep, Change & Never Do Again | For Good Family Meetings Pt. 1 | E65

from For Good · host Joseph "JoJo" Simmons

Some family stories only get better with time. In this first For Good Family Meeting, trade childhood stories, revisit the lessons that hit differently now that they’re parents, and debate which family traditions deserve a comeback. They also get real about raising kids in the age of social media—from checking their phones to knowing when privacy becomes a safety issue. Funny, candid, and occasionally chaotic, it’s a conversation about family, parenting, and what we choose to pass on to the next generation. In this episode, JoJo and Vanessa discuss:   (00:00) Introduction (02:30) Lessons They Didn’t Appreciate Until Adulthood (12:45) Remember When: Keeping Family Traditions Alive (26:04) This or That: What Could You Give Up Forever?  (36:14) Kids, Social Media, and the Privacy Debate (42:55) For Good News: Choosing Grace Over Backlash Connect with JoJo: JoJo’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-jojo-simmons/    JoJo’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jojo_simmons/  For Good Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forgoodpodcast/  3isfor Website: https://3isfor.com/  Connect with Vanessa: Vanessa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessajsimmons/  Vanessa’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vanessajsimmonsxo/ U4IA Now: https://www.instagram.com/u4ianow/  If this episode inspired you, leave a review and share it with someone who could use the message.
