Publisher's summary

In Live Love Now, New York Times best-selling author Rachel Macy Stafford tackles the biggest challenges facing kids today and equips adults to engage them with humanness and heart, compassion and honesty to discover the deep, life-giving connection everyone is longing for.

What do young people need now more than ever? Adults who are truth-tellers not taskmasters. Encouragers not enforcers. Guides not half-listeners. The good news is, it's not too late! No matter what's happened in the past, you can help the kids you love face the top stressors of today, including academic pressure, parental expectations, technoference, lack of purpose, isolation, and loneliness.

With illuminating, straightforward strategies, this guide reveals the importance of practicing acceptance, pursuing peace, and exploring wellness and purpose for yourself so you can be the kind of real, relevant, and lifelong role model young people are searching for. Engaging and thoughtful, each chapter includes moving stories from Rachel's personal journey as a mom of a teen and pre-teen along with illustrative narratives and prompts to help you reflect and take steps toward becoming the kind of adult young people trust.

Whether you're a parent, educator, older sibling, coach, or anyone in a role of leading young people, this audiobook will help you meet the goal of raising and guiding young people to become resilient, compassionate, and capable adults.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

You will be changed!

Listening to her tell her stories and her deep, heartfelt reflections lead you into your own soul searching. You will find yourself lifted and making changes that affect positive change in those around you further enhancing your life. Not written like a self help book. Listening to Rachel read her book feels much like having a heartfelt conversation with a close friend over a glass of wine. I suggest listening where the kids in your life can easedrop and get sucked in, too. My kids love her and her stories. It has changed all of us!

Simply Amazing

I've read/listened to a lot of books this past year and this was one of the best. There is amazing passion for growing into life as a parent and connecting with people--most notably her two daughters. The narration is equally well done and with raw emotion that truly connects the reader to the memory being described. I found myself playing back sections over and over multiple times, trying desperately to soak up the wisdom put forth. We are all imperfect, but we are okay. Just be.
