What do you really want? Itâs a question we often answer with things we donât haveâa bigger house, a better job, more time. But what if the most powerful wants are the ones you already have? The partner you chose, the kids you prayed for, the home you once dreamed of, or the life you built step by step.
In this episode, weâll explore:⨠Deciding again: Stop living in default mode. Revisit your goals, your routines, your identity, and ask yourself: âDo I still choose this?â⨠Wanting what you already have: Go beyond gratitude and affirm the value of whatâs in front of youâyour relationships, home, family, and even yourself.⨠Powerful exercises:
Write 25 things you want, big or small, to reconnect with your desires.Make a second list of 25 things you already have that you still want.When you choose your life again, you shift from scarcity to abundance. You rediscover joy in what youâve built and set the stage for growthânot out of longing, but from appreciation.
So, take a moment. Look around. Ask yourself:What do I want? What do I already have that I still want?
If change scares you, remember this: Growth doesnât mean becoming someone newâit means becoming a better version of yourself. Keep moving forward, keep evolving, and keep choosing your life. đ˛
Tune in and discover how deciding again can transform your perspective and your future.

Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience.

Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.

Welcome back to our 9-part series on the Enneagram triads! In todayâs episode, weâre diving into the Reactivity Triad, which includes Types 4, 6, and 8âpersonalities that tend to respond to stress with emotional intensity and immediate reactions.

How Type 4s express deep emotional intensity, often seeking validation and understanding from others when they feel unseen or misunderstood.How Type 6s react with anxiety and doubt, testing loyalty and seeking reassurance in moments of insecurity or uncertainty.How Type 8s respond with assertiveness and anger, seeking strength and control in their environment to avoid feeling vulnerable.Weâll also share four practical strategies to help you support your reactive child and navigate their emotional outbursts:

I am so thrilled to have Dr. Brandon, pediatrician and founder of Colorado Kid's Pediatrics, to chat about how traits like social awkwardness, anxiety, defiance, OCD, homework struggles or impulsivity could be symptoms of ADHD.
This episode will be beyond helpful if you have a child that is exhibiting any of these traits: Many parents don't realize that all of these behaviors can be symptoms of ADD or ADHD which are on the rise due to all the stimulation children are experiencing in this generation of screens. In this episode we talk about:
Common trends Symptoms and how to get a diagnosis
Treatment, including:
parenting strategies,
diet,
acupuncture and acupressure,
medications and
personality factors like being an SP or and P type as well as a child with introverted sensing, introverted feeling or introverted intuition and a tendency to wander off inside their mind.
Dr. Brandon is founder of Colorado Kid's Pediatrics and Trekwise which is an integrated approach to behavioral health with quick and efficient telehealth sessions and affordable cost sharing.

In this eye-opening episode, we delve into the dynamic world of an INTJ Type 1 mother raising her free-spirited ENFP Type 7 daughter. With a focus on the contrasts and complements between the thinking and feeling brains, we explore how these personality types uniquely influence their parenting and child-rearing experiences. Shana, an INTJ mother known for her structured approach and keen sense of order, shares her personal journey towards understanding and embracing her daughter Savannah's exuberant and spontaneous ENFP personality. This episode sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of letting her free-spirited child learn valuable life lessons through experience, while also emphasizing the importance of parental self-awareness in fostering a nurturing environment for vastly different personalities.

Parental Self-Awareness: The crucial role of self-reflection in parenting, especially when dealing with personality types that starkly contrast with one's own. Shana discusses how understanding her own biases and limitations has been key to her growth as a parent.
Navigating Opposite Characteristics: A deep dive into the day-to-day interactions and long-term planning that come with managing differing needs and desires, highlighting both the struggles and the beautiful moments of connection.
Join us for a heartfelt and practical conversation that not only highlights the complexities of such diverse personality combinations but also provides real-world advice for parents facing similar challenges.

Todayâs episode tackles the critical issue of smartphone use and excessive screen time among children, specifically focusing on Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012. As a parent to two "Zoomers," the host shares personal insights and expert research to confront the rising mental health challenges faced by today's youth. This discussion will cover:
Impact on Brain Development: Highlighting how screen time can negatively affect the frontal cortex of children's brains, impairing impulse control and mirroring the effects seen in substance addiction.
Social and Emotional Consequences: Examining the decline in face-to-face interactions among children, which contributes to increased feelings of loneliness and depression, as personal connections are replaced by digital interactions.
The Addictive Nature of Screens: Discussing the need for genuine real-life connections and addressing the compelling allure of screens that often distract from these vital interactions.
Responsible Screen Use: Offering strategies to help parents develop plans where technology supports developmental goals rather than detracts from them. This includes setting boundaries and being proactive about screen time management.
Practical Measures and Support: Providing actionable tips and resources to help parents create a balanced digital environment in their homes. This support aims to mitigate the adverse effects of screen time while promoting beneficial developmental and social activities.
Drawing insights from Jonathan Haidtâs "The Anxious Generation," this episode serves as a call to action for parents to engage deeply with their childrenâs digital habits and help foster a healthier, more balanced approach to technology use. Whether dealing with a young childâs first foray into digital devices or managing a teenagerâs screen habits, this episode offers valuable guidance and support for navigating the challenges of the digital age.

INFJâs are one of the rarest types representing less than 1% of the population. Today my interview is with Elizabeth Reed Watkins who just published a memoir of her life growing up in Maine entitled the Maine Thing. We will discuss how she parents her four very different kids and she gives advice for parents with an INFJ child. She is also an Enneagram Type 3, so this episode will resonate with all the over achievers out there as well. Going back through her journey we talk about vivid dreams, imagination, friendships, sports, learning, deep emotional struggles and balancing her high ideals and need to achieve with the need to stay grounded. Stay tuned to the end because we have a mini coaching session to help all the over achievers out there, and I am one of them, learn to be easier on themselves. In true INFJ style, Elizabeth is truly vulnerable and authentic in this interview. Here are five main takeaways:
Encourage Imagination and donât accuse them of lying
Let them daydream and have time to recharge
Realize they are an introvert and highly sensitive person and help them with coping strategies
Choose their activities carefully; Individual sports may be better for them than team sports
Pay attention to their activity level because overachieving can be a red flag
I just worked with parents who were looking at their ISTP Enneagram Type 8 lion daughter with a distorted lens. They were seeing her leadership capabilities and determination as demanding, her ability to problem solve as manipulation and they were expecting her to be a rule follower like her brother rather than an independent thinker. Connection and Control are the two most important needs for any child. They just purchased my Thrive program so they can reframe the way they see and work with their kids and have more peace in their home. You can take the first step by going to WendyGossett.com and taking my free child temperament test for one of your kids. I evaluate the results myself which is what sets it apart from other tests. If you want to strengthen your family connections, I know I can help!

Do you have a child who is facing college in the next few years or a child who has dropped out? Many students drop out of college early because they werenât ready. Maybe you know that the classroom is not your childâs happy place or your child hasnât done their best in school. This episode discusses how college is not the only path to consider for your childâs future. Sometimes practical lion types and other perceiving free-spirited, creative or neurodivergent types prefer non-traditional paths. Episode 2 talks about the four people patterns and my last two episodes have been about type 7âs who tend to have multiple interests and may have ADHD or similar tendencies.
A job is just one type of income stream out of 8 that you and your soon to be adult child can consider. Not only that but the job landscape is changing at a rapid speed. There will be jobs available when they graduate from college that donât exist when they graduate from High School.
Find out the two main ways young adults approach this major life transition and how you can help them. If you are wondering how to find the right educational path for your child, tune into this episode where I interview Emma B. Perez career coach, author of Whatâs the Point of School and creator of LifeQuest which is a gamified program to take your child from undecided to excited. Before we start this episode I want to remind you that the first step is to take my free child temperament test at WendyGossett.com and schedule a free chat so we can talk about your childâs result. I evaluate the test personally which is what sets it apart from other free tests on the internet.
