Parents to boys age 7 + 4, Vanessa + James, are here to be completely honest with you about how they've gone from regretting their decision to have kids, to enjoying international travel with them, tantrum-free.
 
They ended up sharing a powerful story about a recent trip they took that drove home so much of the perspective that we need to be compassionate with our kids and their need to make sense of the world.

But most importantly, you'll get to hear how they think, which is one of the most powerful impacts of working with a mentor or coach; being able to not only relate, but adopt their mentalities, viewpoints, perspectives and mindset.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

  • How the way they're wired and trained as a physician and a scientist make parenting even more challenging
  • The accommodations they made to make their trip to Mexico so successful
  • How James' strength of staying really calm was actually making things worse

DON'T MISS:

  • Why they're SO glad they didn't do one-on-one parenting coaching
