Intentional Parenting in Athletics & Beyond w/ executive Life Coach & Mom Crystal Obey

Welcome back, Moms! This week, we’re diving deep into a topic that resonates with every busy sports mom – intentional parenting. Whether you"re juggling practices, work, or family, it"s easy to feel like time is slipping away. In today’s episode, I sit down with Crystal Obie, a homeschooling mom of five and executive life coach, to discuss how we can be more intentional with our time, resources, and most importantly, with our kids. Crystal shares how she balances her own life, running a business with her husband and homeschooling her kids, and how this has shaped her unique perspective on parenting. Her tips on time management, creating quality moments even when life gets hectic, and using drive time with your athlete will give you some practical nuggets to try with your own family. We also discuss something all of us can relate to: screen time. Crystal shares some refreshing insights on how to model responsible phone use and how we can guide our kids to consume content that actually benefits them. Spoiler alert – it’s all about intentionality and boundaries! Lastly, for those homeschooling or thinking about it, Crystal is hosting a Free Homeschooling Summit this week (September 26-28) that covers a range of topics to help parents at any stage of their journey. The summit is totally free and packed with valuable content. Plus, I’ll be a guest speaker! Check the link in the show notes to register.
