Have you ever caught yourself criticizing someone you love, only to realize it’s not helping, it’s actually pushing them away? In this episode, I share a story with my son where my silent frustration turned into curiosity instead of correction. We talk about how easy it is to slip into fixer mode, why judgment rarely creates change, and how switching from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What’s going on for you?” shifts everything. Get ready to heal your inner critic and start showing up with connection.

 

Highlights

• Why your “help” might not feel helpful to the other person.

• Why “What’s wrong with you?” shuts people down.

• How to pause and stay curious when you’re about to criticize.

• What helped me stay regulated when I wanted to fix everything.

• A reframe for parenting and partnership when things don’t go as planned.
