    The 3 Rules We Live By

    This episode is all about emotional intelligence and personal growth via three psychological principles I’ve intentionally woven into the way I raise my boys . This isn’t just a parenting episode. These are personal development concepts that apply to friendships, co-parenting, workplaces, romantic relationships and everyday life. We explore: The difference between intention and impact Why repair matters more than defensiveness How to teach kids to look at patterns instead of reacting in black and white The truth about “attention-seeking” behavior How unmet needs show up sideways Why negative attention still meets a need How children can trigger unresolved parts of us The difference between reactions and responsibility Parenting is one of the most uncomfortable vehicles for personal growth. But when we’re willing to look at what’s being mirrored back to us, it can also be transformative. If this episode resonated, press follow on Apple or Spotify so you don’t miss what’s coming next. And if you’ve been here since the toddler life days, slide into my DMs - I’d love to hear from you.

    The 6 Stages Every Relationship Goes Through & Where Most Break Down - With Thais Gibson)

    In this episode, I’m joined by relationship expert Thais Gibson to break down the six stages every relationship goes through and the critical stage where most couples either grow closer or quietly fall apart. We explore why relationship frustration isn’t a sign you chose the wrong person, but often a sign you’ve entered the power struggle stage. The make-or-break phase can feel like a crisis, but is actually an opportunity for deep connection and long-term stability.This conversation is for you if you’ve ever wondered: why the same relationship patterns keep repeating why qualities you once loved now feel triggering whether conflict means something is wrong  or whether it’s part of healthy growth In this episode, we cover: The 6 stages every relationship moves through (and where most get stuck) Why the power struggle stage feels so intense and why it’s unavoidable How attachment styles shape who we’re drawn to and why Why your subconscious, not your conscious mind, drives most relationship choices The difference between toxic cycles and productive conflict How couples move from conditional love to something deeper and more secure Thais also shares practical frameworks for navigating conflict, communicating needs without defensiveness, and understanding when a relationship is actually progressing - even when it feels uncomfortable.If you’re dating, partnered, married, separated, or simply trying to understand your relationship patterns, this episode will give you language, clarity, and a new lens to view what’s really happening.

    The Smart Woman's Paradox : When You Know Better But Still Can't Stop!! ( with Psychologist Jacquie)

    You’re intelligent, Self-aware and you know how to articulate exactly why they don’t serve you.So why can’t you stop? Why do you still reach for your phone at 6pm instead of being present? Why do you say yes when you mean no? Why do you start fights to avoid what’s really bothering you? Why do you organise the pantry for the tenth time instead of sitting with yourself? In this honest and open conversation, psychologist Jacquie Ward and I dismantle everything you thought you knew about self-sabotage. Spoiler: it doesn’t actually exist. In This Episode We Explore:The Midlife Reckoning ∙ Why turning 40 hits different (and it’s not just about the number) ∙ The grief of bigger kids and the season shift nobody prepares you for ∙ The known spike in maternal depression when all kids start school - and why it happens ∙ “If not now, then when?” - the delicious freedom and anxiety of finite timeWhat Self-Sabotage Actually Is ∙ Why “self-sabotage” is really maladaptive self-soothing (and why this reframe changes everything) ∙ The behaviors smart women reach for: phone scrolling, conflict-seeking, over-functioning, food, hypervigilance ∙ Starting fights to avoid inner conflict - the pattern nobody talks about ∙ How we use “acceptable” addictions to numb out (and why they’re so accessible)The Patterns Keeping You Stuck ∙ “I’m self-reflective, not always self-aware” - why you can intellectualize everything but still can’t change ∙ The mental load makes better choices practically impossible sometimes ∙ Why you can’t selectively numb (what you’re losing when you disconnect from discomfort) ∙ People-pleasing: the hardest thing to let go of at 40Tiger Energy vs Swan Energy ∙ Why discipline culture and “tough love” keeps burning you out ∙ The masculine energy of Goggins-style motivation (and when it actually works vs when it destroys) ∙ “All tiger energy, zero swan energy” - which one are you? ∙ How to be goals-driven without being rigidThe Uncomfortable Work of Real Change ∙ Being able to tolerate discomfort is the skill of our generation ∙ Naming the feeling dissolves 80% of its power ∙ Why you can’t sit through a full-length movie (and what that’s really about) ∙ The practice: brain dump everything swirling in your head today - not Pinterest-worthy, just rawWhat Actually Works ∙ Why compassion beats discipline for sustainable change ∙ Understanding what’s driving the behavior underneath ∙ How Jacquie broke her pattern of using food to self-soothe (Magnums for breakfast, lolly stashes around the house, managing Crohn’s disease) ∙ The shift from self-contempt to curiosity. Jacquie Ward is a psychologist based in South Sydney who works with children, adolescents, and their families both in person and online. After the birth of her first child, a deep love of learning combined with a fascination for developmental psychology and attachment theory led her to pursue a complete career change. Almost 10 years, two more babies, and approximately 5,000 textbooks later, she found herself immersed in her dream job.For Jacquie, working with children, teens, and their families as they navigate challenges with mental health and wellbeing is the ultimate privilege. She’s also a mum of three (11, 9, and 5), married to her high school sweetheart Dave, and has lived the midlife transformation she talks about in this episode - from chronic people-pleasing and maladaptive coping to a softer, more sustainable way of being.Connect with Jacquie:Website: jacquieward.com.auInstagram: @jacquie_ward_https://www.instagram.com/sweat.chill.exhale?igsh=MWlvbTdib2pram9haA==If you want even more- head over to our subscriber only podcast  https://apple.co/iamFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylielately?igsh=MW0xZGxmZXdqYmw2bQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
