Someone feels your intention more than they feel your intervention. Intention is, am I intention right now to teach and make better? Or is my intention to vomit my own frustration onto my child as a form of catharsis, which is usually what we do? It feels so good though. Feels so good.

We do it in- we just do it at work all the time. So good. So good. So good. Um but it's therapy unto itself.

If you have kids, then you probably already know Dr. Becky. In fact, you may have used her app when your kid was having a meltdown. She's the author of Good Inside, the name of her app also, but more important, she is an absolute genius at understanding human beings, both the little ones and the big ones. Yes, she talks about parenting, and yes, we talked about how to be a better parent, but my goodness, the amount that I got out of this conversation about how I can be a better leader.
