27: No, Your Kid Isn’t 800% Worse for You—Here’s What’s Actually Going On

We’ve all been there: confidently repeating something we thought was true… only to find out later it’s not. This episode? That’s me. Owning it. Because I got got—and it matters.

So why not just stay quiet and move on? Because accountability matters—and I’m modeling the SHIFT.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

🔥 The real reason it’s so hard to admit we’re wrong (and what it does to our nervous system)

🔥 How confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance sneak into our parenting and beliefs

🔥 What I did instead of spiraling into shame—and how you can too

🔥 Why defensiveness kills growth, and how transparency builds credibility

🔥 How to use my SHIFT framework to move through mistakes instead of being paralyzed by them

This isn’t just about a mistake. It’s about self-awareness, healing, and becoming the kind of adult we want our kids to model. Because being wrong isn’t the problem. Staying wrong is.
