Why You Keep Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids (And Why the Yelling Isn't the Real Problem)

If you keep snapping, yelling, controlling, or shutting down with your kids, it's tempting to focus on the behavior you want to stop.

But that moment is usually the last domino, not the first.

In this episode, Ann breaks down what's happening underneath those reactions — and why actually feeling your emotions is very different from analyzing them, explaining them, or acting on them.

Using a powerful coaching conversation, the Enneagram's three centers, and one extremely memorable jalapeño-related confession, Ann explores what it really means to stay present with uncomfortable feelings instead of immediately trying to escape or fix them.
