Last week, Lisa explored why so many parents rush to fix their kids' emotions—and how that instinct often comes from our own discomfort with difficult feelings. This week, she answers the question so many parents asked: "But how do I actually do that?"
In this practical and eye-opening episode, Lisa introduces a simple three-step framework for learning how to sit with uncomfortable emotions instead of reacting to them. You'll discover why emotions only last about 90 seconds unless we keep fueling them, how a simple "feelings wheel" can completely change your emotional awareness, and why learning to regulate yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your kid.
If you've ever wondered how to stay calm when you're activated—or how to stop passing emotional avoidance from one generation to the next—this episode is for you.
