In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing a vulnerable account of a challenging morning I had with my daughter and the subsequent realization of the weight of my words. Through reflection and resolution, I’m working to learn from my failures and I strive to be better, not just for myself but for the people I care about. Join me as we explore the art of learning and growing through difficult moments in parenting and life.

In this episode, you'll learn:‍

• 00:11: Feeling a bit raw today. Just being honest. You know those days when you just feel like you're falling short? Yeah, that's me today.

• 00:22: Last week, my team and I were brainstorming ways to kick off the podcast with more energy. They suggested bringing that lively vibe right from the start. But today, I'm struggling to muster that energy. Let me tell you why.

• 1:05: Yesterday was rough, guys. Real rough. And I'm here to share it with you because maybe, just maybe, my mess-ups can help you avoid a similar pitfall.

• 1:46: Let me rewind to yesterday and paint you a picture. Chaos. Pure chaos. With five kids, chaos is our middle name.

• 3:57: Now, there was a dance competition yesterday. It's a big deal for my girls. So, there I am, trying to juggle breakfast and hairdos, when frustration creeps in.

• 6:08: Cue to where I failed my daughter

• 13:19: Looking back now, I realize I missed the mark. Big time.

• 17:21: Apologies came later, but the damage was done.

• 18:08: Cut to this morning: sick kiddo. Coincidence? I think not.

• 20:20: And here's where it gets real, folks. I'm not just feeling the weight of my failure; I'm drowning in it.

• 22:05: So, I'm owning up to my mistakes, right here, right now. And you know what? The healing has to start somewhere.

• 24:25: So, there you have it. My heart laid bare. If my story resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
