Parents, this episode is personal. Steve makes a big confession that gets right to the heart of coaching, parenting, pride, and the mindset shifts that can either help your teen grow or quietly hold them back. So...let's get right to the truth. Are you helping your teen think for themselves, or are you still stuck giving advice that no longer lands? In this episode, we unpack the difference between coaching and consulting, why human connection matters, and how better questions can create real growth at home.
