In this episode, I’m joined by journalist and author Susan Dominus for a deep dive into the science of temperament, sibling relationships, and what high-achieving families can teach us about raising children.

We also explore how purpose, family culture, and sibling dynamics can shape long-term outcomes—and why letting go of control might be the most powerful parenting tool we have.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
