By: RaaShaun "DJ Envy" Casey, Gia Casey

Narrated by: Gia Casey, RaaShaun "DJ Envy" Casey

In the highly anticipated follow-up to national bestseller Real Life, Real Love, RaaShaun “DJ Envy” and Gia Casey share hard-won lessons from over two decades of parenting.

Everyone in the Caseys’ orbit is no stranger to the magic that lives within their home. Parents to six children, Gia and RaaShaun are inundated with questions from people all around the world, wondering how they create and maintain the patience, focus, and time to raise happy, well-mannered, and successful children. In Real Life, Real Family, they explain how they’ve created a family unit that’s filled with unwavering love and share with listeners how to raise children who are resilient to stress. The biggest compliment they receive is when other parents note their children’s discipline, as well as their thoughtfulness, compassion, and selflessness.

The Caseys are not just raising good kids, they are raising good people.

Real Life, Real Family is filled with experiences from two parents who have seen and experienced it all with children of all ages—from three to twenty-three—and who are still actively parenting in real time. Whether you’re a parent who is partnered or single, have one child or many, you will walk away with the tools to create a family unit filled with purpose, intention, and love. No topic is off limits—the Caseys are candid about their triumphs and struggles. If you are a parent with children who have anxiety, high stress, or are disobedient, this book will help you better understand those issues so you can relate to your child and effect change.

Audio includes an exclusive interview with the Casey children!

Great for family education

Their take on having a loving family was wonderful to learn. It was worth time to deep drive into this book.

Beautiful family but missed the mark a bit

Love the Casey’s, I think they are a beautiful family. Unfortunately I feel like the book was a bit too preachy, textbook, and psychology focused. While there is obviously a market for that, i don’t think this what their target audience wanted. Would have loved for them to break down all their different journeys in parenting in the context of their life. From pregnant for the first time with Madison. Adapting to being a first time mom. What it meant to raise a daughter. Then having Logan. The differences in personalities, and what it meant to raise a boy. Then could have transitioned into advice for knowing when you should have more. The next journey and lessons learned with the younger kids, etc. Basically I think it wasn’t as intimate and relatable and they tried too hard to make it a psychology approved book. Still absolutely adored this book, but I think they should have stuck to the same recipe as Real Life, Real Love.
