In this episode of License & Unsupervised, we talk about parenting, discipline, and the mental rewiring that happens when you decide to change your life.

We start with childhood stories — Naomi being a biter, Mia going through a biting phase, and the reality that every child develops differently. From potty training to parenting NICU babies, we talk about how much of parenting comes down to understanding a child’s personality and willpower.

Naomi shares what it was like raising babies with colic and living on a NICU schedule, while Beckee talks about working two jobs, managing pregnancy, and navigating the old salon booking systems before everything went digital.

Then the conversation shifts into something bigger: the difference between motivation and discipline.

We discuss:

• Parenting strong-willed kids
• The emotional experience of NICU babies
• Why every child develops differently
• Old salon booking systems and the early beauty industry grind
• The team’s 75 Hard social media challenge
• The movie Inside Out and how accurately it reflects emotions
• ADHD and self-destructive thought patterns
• Rewiring your brain and creating new neural pathways
• Why anything worthwhile is rarely easy

This episode is about growth — as parents, leaders, and humans.

Licensed? Yes. Supervised? Mostly by discipline.
