In this episode of Path to Abundant Living, we sit down with Dr. Teri Rouse—an early and behavior interventionist, autism and reading specialist, international speaker, and creator of the REAL Peaceful Parenting Framework. With more than 30 years of experience working with children, parents, and educators, Dr. Teri has dedicated her career to empowering families to create calmer homes and more confident kids.

Together, we explore the challenges facing parents today—especially those raising children inside the unique dynamics of a family enterprise. Dr. Teri shares insights from her life, her bestselling books, and her coaching work to help families navigate overwhelm, reconnect with their values, and build environments where both children and parents can thrive.

Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, or balancing both, this conversation offers practical tools and heartfelt encouragement for finding more peace at home and greater harmony in your family’s future.
