In this episode, I dive into the challenges we face as parents when managing our children's behavior, especially during times of transition when tantrums, meltdowns, and emotional outbursts are at their peak. I share my personal journey of learning and why I moved away from B.F. Skinner's behaviorism and punishment-based approaches. Instead, I’ve embraced a teaching-centered method that focuses on fostering growth, mutual respect, and understanding.

I’ll talk about how I’ve learned to approach my kids' behaviors as forms of communication rather than simply something to correct or punish. By using grace, curiosity, and grit, I've created an environment that promotes positive behavior and allows for self-awareness and growth—for both me and my kids. We’ll cover how positive reinforcement, emotional intelligence, and self-care can make a huge difference in how we show up as parents and help our kids grow into their best selves. If you're navigating tantrums, defiance, or emotional challenges with your child, this episode will give you practical strategies for shifting from punishment to teaching, so you and your children can thrive.

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Sarah Sparks, an international bestselling author, top 10% globally ranked podcast host, and successful business owner, who has transformed her life and career by embracing curiosity and divine guidance. Sarah’s journey, like many of ours, began with a search for external approval, love, and validation. She shares how this pursuit led her to a path that wasn’t aligned with her true self, and how she eventually broke free by asking one simple, yet powerful question: “I wonder.”

Throughout the episode, Sarah explains how this mindset shift allowed her to let go of societal expectations and start living a life guided by intuition. Whether it was leaving a marriage that didn’t serve her, shifting careers, or starting her own business, Sarah’s story is one of transformation through self-awareness, healing, and divine inspiration. She speaks about the importance of understanding the difference between living for external validation and living for inner fulfillment.

Sarah offers practical advice on how to tune into your intuition, explaining the subtle signals our bodies give us when something is right or wrong. She highlights the need to release emotional baggage, live authentically, and stop repeating patterns that don’t serve us. By staying curious and asking the right questions, Sarah believes we can all break free from self-imposed limitations and step into a life of joy, freedom, and success.

We also dive deep into Sarah’s healing process—an acronym called "HEALED"—designed to help people shift their mindset, let go of past wounds, and live in alignment with their true selves. Her philosophy is especially helpful for those feeling stuck in their careers, relationships, or even in their own personal development. If you’re ready to live a life of purpose, abundance, and fulfillment, this episode is a must-listen.
