I didn’t expect my kids to teach me life lessons beyond the importance of packing snacks, but here we are. Somewhere between the incessant requests and battles over what they wear to go somewhere in public, I realized they’ve been quietly modeling things I could stand to practice more myself—like persistence, asking directly for what you want, and not overthinking what other people think. In this episode, I’m sharing five lessons my kids have taught me that made me think twice about whether it’s always the adults who get it right.

Key Points Discussed:

• Why “no” doesn’t always have to be the end of the conversation
• How to push back (politely) when the first offer isn’t cutting it
• The surprisingly hard truth about asking for what you need
• What kids can teach us about not overthinking what other people think
• How a simple repair can turn a mess into connection
