The Parenting Shift You Didn’t Know You Needed
May 15, 2025
If you’ve ever thought,
“I don’t have time for that right now…”
You’re not alone.
That’s what makes Joy McAdams’ message so powerful.
In our recent two-part podcast series, Joy shares how 3 intentional minutes a day—yes, just 3 minutes—can radically change the connection you have with your kids, your partner, and even yourself.
She’s a high-performing businesswoman, endurance athlete, and mom of five—so if anyone gets the time crunch, it’s Joy. But instead of striving for balance, she’s mastered the art of intentional integration.
In our conversation, we unpack:
• How to show up when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and out of time
• What intentional moments look like for a busy parent
• How to redefine success in parenting and business—without sacrificing either
• The difference between presence and perfection
• Why short moments of connection create long-term resilience
Her insights are simple, actionable, and deeply encouraging.

You don’t have to wait until you have hours of free time to be the parent your kids need.
Sometimes, all it takes is a few meaningful minutes a day.
