Here's the thing…I sat across from my friend Lisa Garr, someone who has spent 20-plus years interviewing the greatest minds in consciousness and personal growth, and she looked at me and basically said, "I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing as a mom." 100%. And I just loved her so much for that.

Lisa is the host of The AWARE Show, a woman who has given voice to Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton, and Joe Dispenza. And yet when it comes to her daughter Kayla, she's been in the trenches right alongside the rest of us, figuring it out one painful lesson at a time.

Here's what Lisa knows that most parents don't: the instinct to put your child on a pedestal, to brag, to grandstand, to lead every conversation with their accomplishments, can actually set them up for a harder fall. She learned that the hard way. So did I. And this conversation gets real about what it actually looks like to stop enabling, stop rescuing, and start trusting that your kid's mess is also their medicine.

You'll walk away from this episode knowing that you are not alone in the sandwich generation squeeze, that letting go does not mean giving up, and that the next right thing might just be staying out of the way long enough for your kid to find their own way back.
