What story are you telling yourself about your child? In this transformative episode, Lisa explores the power of confirmation bias—how your thoughts about your child shape the way you see (and miss) their behavior. She shares how you can shift out of the “difficult child” narrative and start catching your kids being amazing, even in everyday moments.

Through personal stories, neuroscience insights, and practical tools, Lisa helps you adjust your lens and rewire your brain to focus on your child’s strengths—leading to more connection, cooperation, and peace at home.
