EP 222 Mindset & Motivation Monday: Shifting from ’I Can’t’ to ’I Can’ Conversations with Jaci Finneman

Welcome to another episode of No Problem Parenting's Mindset & Motivation Mondays!

Today, we're acknowledging the influence of our self-talk, specifically those disempowering 'I can't' statements that often show up in our parenting responses and conversations, especially when our energy is drained.

Consider the last time you said 'I can't' in response to a parenting situation or anytime really. Was it genuinely about capability, or was it really covering up a different emotion or preference?
