“The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.” - Carl Jung

In this episode of Inner Circle, Mike and Kevin explore how parents subtly project their own fears and ambitions onto their kids. They argue that the real job of parenting is simple yet harder than it sounds.

They unpack:

• The danger of projecting your own path onto your children

• Modeling values instead of forcing outcomes

• Helping your kids strengthen their decision-making

• The power of family mottos

• Balancing resilience with safety and discernment

Rather than fixating on grades, trophies, or resumes, they highlight building an environment for kids to grow into who they truly are.
