Stop Lying to Yourself With Your "Good Reasons"

"Send Ben a text"

Do you ever say things like, “I don’t have time,” or “I’m too tired”? These sound like good reasons… but they might just be excuses.

In this episode, I talk about how we lie to ourselves with “good reasons” and how that keeps us stuck. I share a real story about a teen who came home early from a mission and felt like he had to explain why. You’ll learn how to stop making excuses, take control, and show your teen how to do the same.

We’ll also talk about how to:

• Spot your own “good reasons”
• Take full ownership of your choices
• Help your teen do the same

No more blaming. No more hiding. Just real, honest change.
