Have you ever done the "right thing" even though it felt like torture? Of course! We've all been in countless situations where we knew what we should do, and we were able to make ourselves do it, but it sucked. Telling the truth when it would have been easier to lie, staying calm with our kiddo when, inside, we are seething, holding a boundary when we wish we could just cave... It's so normal!

But what if it were possible to do those "right" things and it NOT feel so hard? What if doing the right thing just organically happened, not because you were forcing yourself to be good, but because that was just what naturally unfolded?

This week on the podcast, I'll explore what that looks like and how we can get there. It's something IFS calls "Self-Led," and I'll share a story about one client who got there in her parenting and how things changed because of her transformation.

Doing this kind of personal growth work is the quickest way to unlock incredible parenting for your kiddo and the most joyful life you could ever experience!

So if you're ready to look into implementing these ideas in your own life, set up a free Discovery Call and let's see if we're a good fit! https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
