What if raising kids isn't about fixing them, but understanding your own emotional patterns first? In this powerful mashup episode, three experts transform how we think about family dynamics. Dr. Becky Kennedy reveals why making happiness the goal of childhood creates anxious adults, Scott Galloway shares how fatherhood at 42 shifted his priorities from status-seeking to finding unexpected contentment, and family therapist Jerry Wise explains how breaking free from your family's emotional trance is the true path to healing. This conversation exposes how parenting becomes our greatest opportunity for personal growth - not by healing through our children, but by facing the triggers they inevitably expose.
