God created us for community so that we won’t do life alone. Too often, however, we keep our struggles to ourselves and suffer in silence. In this episode, Kari encourages parents to create a family climate of truth telling and raw honesty. She shares how she spent half her life bottling up her emotions and hiding her most vulnerable side – until taking baby steps in the right direction helped her push past fear and awkwardness. When we bring our deepest truths to light, we build deeper, richer, and more authentic relationships. We gain protection from the enemy and the support and strength we need to get through our darkest days.  EPISODE 8 Show Noteso   Kari’s new book for moms: Love Her Well: 10 Ways to Find Joy and Connection with Your Teenage Daughtero   Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend: Boundaries o   Dorotheos of Gaza: Discourses and Sayingso   Kari’s books for teen girls: 10 Ultimate Truths Girls Should Know and Liked: Whose Approval Are You Living For?o   Kari’s Blog - www.karikampakis.com/blog/o   Contact Kari at kari@karikampakis.com and follow her on Instagram and Facebook
