About this episode

Tammy Cohen discusses the importance of staying connected with children through communication and shares insights from her book.

How often do you let your people know they matter? When Covid shut the world down, today’s guest, author and consultant Tammy Cohen, realized she’d been so busy cultivating a life of achievement that she wasn’t as connected to people she cares about as she thought she was. That a-ha moment sparked a journey of exploring values, leadership, and connection, and that eventually led to writing a book: “Text Messages to My Sons: A Guide to Using Mobile Devices to Connect and Communicate Deeply With Your Kids”. In this episode, Tammy shares what she learned through it all, how the experience shaped a new relationship with her sons and the incredible ripple effect it’s had since then.
