#51: If your kids keep breaking their promises, then...

Picture this: You wake up determined—today’s the day. You’ll finally reclaim time for yourself. Maybe it’s the gym, a quiet coffee, a meditation. But life barges in. A text from work. Milk’s out. Kid’s shoes are missing. And that promise to yourself? Gone again.In this episode, we explore what happens when we treat our own promises as optional. You’ll learn why that erosion of trust—with yourself—is the true cost. And how it’s not willpower you’re lacking. It’s your brain quietly concluding: “You don’t mean it.”With raw stories and surprising insight, we dive into the difference between dependability and reliability. We reveal why kids keep promises better than adults. And we tell the story of a son’s small act of love—a dishwasher, a misunderstanding, a mother’s realization—and how that changed everything.This isn’t about guilt. It’s about reclaiming the power of follow-through.---------------------------- Do you have some questions, stories or experiences you hope could be featured on the podcast?
