The Disappointment Conversation

Michele has never told her kids she's disappointed in them. Not once. In this episode, she and Noah unpack why and what she says instead. They explore how one seemingly harmless word can chip away at a child's sense of worth, shut down communication, and damage trust. Through personal stories and honest reflection, they discuss how to guide kids through mistakes with empathy, hold space for hard conversations, and build relationships where honesty doesn't come with shame.
