Striking When the Iron's Cold (ep. 6)

They ignore you the first time.
So you repeat yourself or start explaining — three or four different ways, making sure they understand why this matters.
And somehow, the more you say, the less they listen.
This week, I get into why over-explaining backfires:
it overwhelms them,
gives them something to tune out,
or worse,
hands them the exact ammunition they need to argue you out of the thing you were asking for in the first place.
I talk about the moment my own kid called me out — "yeah, but you'll give in" — and why they were right.
And I introduce striking when the iron's cold:
setting your expectations before the moment happens,
not in the middle of it,
so you're not standing there negotiating while everyone's already at a nine or ten.
If you've ever caught yourself giving a whole speech over a pile of laundry, this one's for you.
