Do You Want to Be Right, or Do You Want to Be Happy?

from The Momentum Podcast · host Tanya Valentine

Have you ever found yourself in an argument, frustrated with your spouse, your kids, or even yourself, convinced that you're right and they’re wrong? In this episode, we explore a powerful question inspired by the teachings of A Course in Miracles: Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? I share what I've been learning through my recent study of A Course in Miracles, a spiritual self-study program focused on moving from fear to love, blame to responsibility, and conflict to peace. Together, we'll explore: • Why our need to be right often creates unnecessary suffering • How our thoughts—not other people—create our emotional experience • The difference between judgment and understanding • Why letting go of control can create more peace in your relationships • Real-life examples from parenting and everyday mom life If you've ever felt stuck in conflict, frustrated by someone else's behavior, or exhausted from trying to control things you can't control, this episode will offer a new perspective and a practical question you can carry with you into your everyday life. Because sometimes the path to more peace isn't proving your point—it's letting go of the need to. Enjoy the episode, and if it resonates with you, I'd be so grateful if you'd take a moment to rate and review the podcast. Your support helps more moms find the show and join us on this journey toward calmer, more intentional living.
