Parenting feels impossible when you keep trying to solve emotional problems with logic. Kids don’t melt down because your argument wasn’t strong enough. Teens don’t shut down because you didn’t explain yourself clearly. Families struggle because emotions don’t follow rules, timelines, or reason.

In this conversation, Sean breaks down why parenting is so frustrating for thoughtful, intelligent adults—and why the very skills that make someone successful at work often fail at home.
