Shari Greco Reiches, an investment advisor and cofounder of Rappaport Reiches Capital Management, LLC, recently invited me to be a guest on her “Maximize Your Return on Life” podcast.

Like Shari’s approach to capital management, my strategic focus as a parenting coach is values-based. Our far-ranging conversation covered many aspects of parenting that I trust you’ll find worth the listen. Here’s just some of what we talked about:

* Using the strengths of the family system to empower parents to make decisions tethered to their core values

* Why a self-care practice and building community are essential activities for parents

* The surprising similarities between toddlers and teens

* Dealing head-on with the unmentionables: drinking; drugs; sex

* Fostering clear communications with weekly family meetings

* Embracing the beauty of the pivot, and

* The value of life-long learning
