In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara Wester sit down with Tara Bremer, founder and CEO of House Peace, to explore how the state of our homes can deeply affect our parenting, stress levels, and connection with our kids. Tara has been bringing peace into homes since 2013, using her background in psychology and counseling to help families shift from chaos to calm. As a wife and mother of three, she understands firsthand the daily challenges of family life—and brings a compassionate, judgment-free lens to every conversation.

Together, they discuss how clutter and disorganization can undermine family dynamics and how intentional habits, body doubling, and visual cues can help restore peace. This episode offers grounded encouragement and actionable steps for parents looking to foster independence in their kids while maintaining a harmonious home environment.

In this thought-provoking episode, Kyle and Sara Wester challenge a common parenting goal: obedience. They explore why obedience might deliver quick results, but often at the cost of long-term connection, emotional development, and a child's capacity for critical thinking.

Instead, they advocate for cooperation as a healthier, more empowering goal. Drawing from real-life examples and their work with families, Kyle and Sara share practical strategies to nurture trust, respect, and internal motivation in kids. They explain how cooperation builds emotional intelligence, strengthens relationships, and prepares children to become thoughtful, capable adults.
