Here at BossMom, we believe the best stories aren’t the perfect ones. We tell the truth about the chaos, the laughter, and the hard-earned lessons that come when you’re raising kids and building something that matters.

In this episode, Dana sits down with Wendy Snyder, certified parenting educator, family life coach, and founder of Fresh Start Family Online. Together they dive into what it really means to practice connection-based parenting, why showing our kids our real emotions matters, and how the lessons we learn as moms can transform how we lead in business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to raise kids who still want to hang out with you when they’re grown, or how parenting can make you a stronger entrepreneur, this conversation will leave you encouraged, challenged, and ready to lean into connection over control.
