You can run a high-stakes meeting without breaking a sweat. You manage a team like a boss. At work, you seem to know how to keep cool, even when fires are burning around you.

But when you walk through your own front door?

Why does it feel like chaos is reigning?

Small requests turn into battles. Small kids expertly push your buttons. Half the time you're not sure who's going to meltdown first: them or you.

You might veer between being "too harsh" and throwing up your hands in defeat—and neither approach feels right.

Worse, you wonder what's wrong that you can command a room of challenging adults…but can't seem to get a 4 year old to pick their legos off the floor.

On this week's episode of The Mental Offload Podcast, I sat down with parenting expert Lisa Smith, creator of The Peaceful Parent. Lisa has lived this exact struggle—leading thousands in her corporate career while feeling out of control with her own child. That frustration sent her on an 18-year journey into parenting science, brain development, and how to bring true leadership into the home.

Her insights will change how you think about parenting.

She'll leave you fundamentally rethinking what it means to be a successful parent in this era. So you can shift from checking off a list of "perfect parent" to-dos, to reclaiming your authority and connection with your kids.
