Today, we’ll dive into understanding the true value of winning and losing, especially as it relates to raising children and personal growth. As someone who’s always been fiercely competitive, I found myself unsettled with my children’s losses in their various sports and activities. This episode explores how I shifted my mindset to see the true value in losing, and how this change has impacted both my life and my kids' lives positively.
