Power struggles: we’ve all been there! Sometimes daily. This was us a few years back - but no more.

Your kid digs their heels in, you dig yours in deeper—and suddenly you're in a full-blown standoff over socks, screen time, or sandwiches. 🙃

In this juicy and very real episode, my husband Alex is finally back on the podcast! 🎉

And we’re getting into it:

🔥 How he handles power struggles as a dad

🔥 What he thinks of how I handle them (gulp!)

🔥 Where we clash, where we align, and what we’ve learned from doing things differently

You’ll hear the honest, behind-the-scenes stories (yes, even the messy ones), how culture and upbringing shape our reactions, and the surprising moments we’ve actually switched roles in a power struggle.

Whether you're parenting solo or as a team, this episode is full of relatable moments, real strategies, and lots of laughs.

🎧 Hit play if you want to feel seen, supported, and a little less alone in the chaos.

Guys, this weekend I did the impossible: got the kids and my husband to do a giant tidy-up, without bribes, threats, nagging, or anyone fake-crying in the laundry.

And all I used? Half a sheet of paper and a pencil.

No yelling, no sticker charts, no power struggles, just emotional intelligence, a simple plan, and a calm, confident vibe.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I pulled it off so you can too. Use my hack! If you’re over being the household manager, maid, and motivational speaker all rolled into one… this one’s for you.

xx Steph.

(Btw the course I mentioned is From Reactive to Responsive Parenting, and is basically my how-to for overcoming the shouty, snappy habit and becoming calmer and more in control as a parent. It's usually $97, but I'd love you to have it for $17! Find it at www.stephaniepinto.com/courses and use code PODCAST17
