Suffering, in marriage and family life, is inevitable. What we tell ourselves about the suffering makes all the difference. In this episode, I share an inspirational message from New York Times #1 Best Selling Author, Jocko Willink, that I encourage you to embrace.

Tune in to hear how embracing Jocko Willink's philosophy of finding "Good" in the worst of times has revolutionized my approach to personal setbacks, business challenges, and the ever-evolving puzzle of family dynamics. In today's heartfelt dialogue, I take you through the trenches of my own experiences and the strategies that have turned trials into triumphs, demonstrating that the stormiest periods of our lives can give rise to the most unshakable values and family bonds.
The intricate dance of family life is filled with steps both graceful and awkward, and it's my mission to guide you through each one. This episode is a treasure trove of practical solutions for reframing suffering and modeling resilience and opportunity for your kids.
