You Learn This Too Late: Understanding This Will Change the Way You Look at Your Relationships

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I just got out of the studio here in Boston. I cannot wait for you to experience this conversation. It's with Dr. Aliza Pressman.

She's one of the world's most respected developmental psychologists for over two decades. Dr. Pressman has been studying how your childhood shapes who you've become as an adult. Well, today Dr. Pressman is here to lay out the science behind the parenting mistakes most of us don't even realize we're making, and mistakes that your parents probably made when you were little and may still be making in your relationship with them today.

Now, these mistakes are easy to miss because they're hidden in plain sight. But based on the research, they have a profound impact on who you are today and every relationship that you have. I'm talking how you love, how you parent, how you show up as a friend, how you feel about yourself. Today you're going to learn so much, including the shocking research about what happens to a child when one parent complains about the other parent to you and the unexpected ways it shows up in your adult life. If you're going through a divorce or are the child of divorced parents, this is a must-listen about the things that most divorced parents do wrong and they probably never apologize for.
