About this episode
Whether you realize it or not, you’re living in a matrix that shapes how you think, feel, and live your life. And your family, for better or worse, is along for the ride.
Welcome to Season 3, what we’re calling, Beyond the Matrix.
In this episode, we challenge you to ask one question: Why are you doing what you’re doing as a family? More specifically, who, or what, is shaping the decisions you make? Do you know why you’re making the decisions you are? Have you ever thought about flipping things upside down and going against what’s “conventional” for our day and age?
We take a listener question that, though may not be your circumstance, applies to many of us who feel stuck in how we lead our families.
