On this episode, we spoke with Mell Hashey, a native of upstate NY and recent transplant to CO Springs. She and her husband, Joe, host their own podcast and they have a FREE path to strong families you can download from their website:
Mell is a mom to 3 sons, ages 5, 11, and 14 (at the time of this episode). The seven elements they came up with to help families become stronger, solidify their identity, and aim for intentional success are part of our discussion and part of the Q&As on their podcast: The STRONG FAMILY PODCAST.
These seven elements are:
- Family Core Values
- Morning Routine (for quick wins)
- Family Meetings
- Individual Goal Systems
- Family Meal
- Evening Debrief
- Home Relationships
They recommend families pick ONE of these to start with and work on it for 30-90 days until it becomes a habit before moving to the next. Toddlers to teens can participate and contribute to the family using their system.
