When we’re bombarded with distractions and demands, noise and clutter (and 28 consecutive themed dress-up days at school), it’s easy to lose sight of the stuff that really matters. Join Dr. Kara Shade – a wife, mom of 3, and an award-winning relationship coach – on her quest to reclaim the meaningful amidst the messy. Listen in for thought-provoking interviews, cutting-edge research, and relatable personal stories as we learn more and live better, together.
