This week we're discussing How to Thrive in High-Pressure Situations
When emotions are high, whether with a co-parent, a child mid-meltdown, or a demanding coworker, how we communicate can either escalate the tension or bring clarity and peace. For solo parents, those pressure points are daily. To help us unpack how to stay grounded and respond with wisdom, we're joined by Dr. Anthony Scroggins. He's not only a performance psychologist who's worked with the US Army and NASA astronauts, but also a dad of four young kids. That mix of clinical expertise and real-life parenting experience makes his insight incredibly practical for the day-to-day challenges we face.
Today, we cover three main points:
How to communicate effectively with a difficult co-parent
How to stay calm when emotions run high, with kids and with yourself
How to build resilience in the workplace and at home
Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, navigating silence from a co-parent, or carrying the weight of decision-making alone, this episode reminds us: we don't have to be perfect. We just have to keep showing up, and with the right tools, we can show up as the version of ourselves we actually want to be.
