Ep #187 I Clicked a Button and an AI Summarized CMP (…and it’s good)

Today’s vibe: totally different—and kind of wild. I pressed a little “Create audio summary” button inside NotebookLM (after loading my CMP book + Pivot material), and it generated a 20-minute conversation distilling Connect Method Parenting using only my sources. I listened and thought: ok, parents ask me for this kind of quick, clear overview all the time…so I’m sharing it with you as a bonus episode.

You’ll hear:

• The core pain point from thousands of parent notes: “I hate yelling. It feels like it’s the only thing that works.” (Oof. I’ve been there.)
• Why connection, not louder consequences—is the lever (think: attachment is the fuel line).
• The 4 CMP mindset pillars:
  • Gardener > Sculptor
  • You, Not Them (extreme ownership without self-blame)
  • Behavior = Feedback (curiosity over judgment)
  • Compassionate Alpha (strong & kind leadership)
• The self-regulation tools you can use today:
  • STEAR (spot the split-second thought that drives the blow-up)
  • PEACE (pause, download the thoughts, allow the feelings → mad-to-sad shift)
• The connection builders: six minutes that matter, 1:1 child-led time (aka “no teaching allowed”).
• Handling conflict without losing closeness:
  • The Circle of Big Emotions (three exits for frustration)
  • The Seen & Heard “sandwich”: See → (Set/Play/Pivot) → Bridge
• Why this is a marathon, not a magic wand—and why small, consistent reps change everything.

Why share an AI episode?
Because it’s a crisp, neutral pass through my own material, and for some of you, hearing it summarized like this will make the lights turn on. If it feels a little “whoa,” same. Tell me if it’s awesome or weird. I want your take.
