The 3 Rules We Live By

Almost Forty

About

This episode is all about emotional intelligence and personal growth via three psychological principles I’ve intentionally woven into the way I raise my boys . This isn’t just a parenting episode. These are personal development concepts that apply to friendships, co-parenting, workplaces, romantic relationships and everyday life.

We explore:

The difference between intention and impact

Why repair matters more than defensiveness

How to teach kids to look at patterns instead of reacting in black and white

The truth about “attention-seeking” behavior

How unmet needs show up sideways

Why negative attention still meets a need

How children can trigger unresolved parts of us

The difference between reactions and responsibility

Parenting is one of the most uncomfortable vehicles for personal growth. But when we’re willing to look at what’s being mirrored back to us, it can also be transformative.
