The Leaderpath Show

This week’s question: My 7-year-old gets upset every time I encourage her to do things on her own — getting dressed, packing her school bag. Her response? “You don’t help me because you don’t love me.” How do I teach independence without her feeling pushed away?

Before reaching for any kind of solution, there’s something worth uncovering first, because what looks like a battle over independence might have nothing to do with independence at all.

There’s a simple framework that puts this whole situation in a completely new light, and once it clicks, her behavior will suddenly make a lot of sense.

And if you’ve been caught between wanting to raise an autonomous child and just wanting her to feel loved, this one’s going to land.

This week's question: I love yoga and believe in it fully — but I'm struggling financially and mentally. Yesterday I thought about changing my life again. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Before diving into strategies, Caterina asks the one question you need to sit with first, because what feels like a financial crisis might actually be something else entirely.

She also shares a perspective on financial struggle that the purpose-driven world rarely talks about, and why your inner voice might actually be guiding you right now, not betraying you.

And if the words "changing my life again" bring up guilt or self-doubt, this episode will offer you a different way to see it.
