Listen Later

Episode #974

What do you do when your wife criticizes you in front of your kids? Worse—what if she starts pulling them onto “her team” against you?

In this revisit episode, we’re bringing back a powerful conversation that struck a chord with a lot of men. It’s all about what to do when your wife starts undermining you in front of your children—something that’s not only painful but can seriously impact your family dynamic if left unchecked.

We’ll get into why this might be happening, the damage it causes, and what to do when your instinct is to either shut down or fire back. You'll hear how to calmly take the lead, have the hard conversations, set boundaries that stick, and uncover the real reason this is happening in the first place.

If you’ve been in this situation—or want to be prepared in case it ever happens—this episode is worth another listen. Because how you respond in these moments matters… a lot.

Let’s revisit the playbook and make sure you’re ready.
