Finding Balance in Life

Making Time for Loved Ones
While her schedule is jam-packed, Ciara carves out quality time for her husband and kids. She emphasized the importance of unplugging from work and being fully present with family. Whether it’s playing board games, reading stories at bedtime or snuggling up to watch a movie, these shared moments help strengthen their bond.
