When You Don’t Feel Good about Who Your Son is Dating {Episode-130 with Kari Kampakis}
Today I am excited to share a “guest podcast” from Kari Kampakis, host of the Girl Mom Podcast. In this episode Kari shares some helpful perspectives to keep in mind if your son is dating someone you don’t feel good about, as well as some simple, sound wisdom to share with your teens or young adults when they enter the dating season of life. (It’s not easy – rememeber!?)

I was so looking forward to hearing your wisdom here about dating. Our family is on a parallel plan with your family. I have all boys too. My son who is 22. Just graduated Liberty and still has not found or dated yet. I have read a letter he wrote to his future wife. Tear jerker… I wanted to thank you for bullet points to share when I have the perfect setting to talk about dating with my son.
Kindest Regards.
Thank you Kerri! So glad to hear from you — and your story encouraged me too! 🙂 Keep up the great work! xo
