Why every dad needs a mantra for their kids (and how mine helped my 4yo daughter believe in herself)

About this episode

The episode discusses how a family mantra can help children build resilience and self-belief.

So in this one I share how a simple mantra helped my kids face their fears and build resilience, specifically my daughter. I went through how I actually came up with our family mantra, inspired by an impactful conversation between Steph Curry and Nipsey Hussle, how you can go about creating your own empowering mantra tailored to your family's values. The steps in doing this is Choose, Define, Wrap, and Practice. And I gave a bonus step/tip that helps make your mantra that much more impactful.
