MMP11:Blame and Judgment and Learning from Mistakes - How to raise good people?

In this episode, I unpack the default behavior for so many of us when life throws us a curveball - sitting in blame and judgment. I explain why this is the case for me too and what I’m learning to replace these negative emotions with something more helpful. I share some personal stories to explain all of this in more detail and ways to see an accident or mistake as an opportunity for real learning. I also discuss the best way to ensure that you’re raising good people rather than creepy sh!theads.

Topics covered:

• Blame and judgment culture

• Judgment is a self projection

• Brene’ Brown’s theory about common enemy intimacy

• Empathy and how productive convos produce good people

• The mom movement and how we are shaping the people that will lead us into the future

• Spending time nourishing rather than depleting yourself and how to know that you are doing that

• Mistakes are part of the human experience and are an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve

• What to do to ensure that your kids respect you and other people

• Model the behavior you seek from your kids - if you want kind respectful kids, treat them kind and respectfully

• Mortified about your daughter becoming a mean girl? I tell you what to do to make sure that doesn’t happen
