Does your partner think mindset work is “extra” or “unnecessary”?

You’re all in. You see how much confidence coaching helps your daughter and you’re ready to invest in her growth. But your partner? Not so sure. Maybe they think she’s too young. Maybe they see it as just another expense. Maybe they just don’t get it.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to handle it when your partner’s not on the same page – and how to keep showing up anyway.

Here’s what we talk about:

✅ Why mindset work isn’t just another “nice-to-have”
✅ How to talk to a skeptical partner (without starting a fight)
✅ Real-life stories that help it all make sense
✅ The difference mental training makes beyond sports
✅ How moms often carry the emotional load and what to do with that
✅ Why waiting for a crisis isn’t the move
✅ What to say when your spouse just doesn’t see the value (yet)
✅ Encouragement if you’re doing this solo (you’re not alone)
✅ Simple next steps you can take right now

🎧 Listen to the full episode now and walk away with the words, the tools, and the confidence to take the next step, whether your partner’s all in or still figuring it out.
