Entrepreneurs are great at leading teams, making decisions, and optimizing time. But what happens when those same skills show up at home - and start to hurt your closest relationships? In this episode, Dr. Walling shares the 4 entrepreneurial mindsets that often cause trouble at home - and what you can do differently. Self-importance around time - why treating family moments as “below you” creates distance. Productivity over presence - how chasing efficiency can crowd out play. Reviewing family members like employees - why constant appraisal kills safety and connection. Expecting instant implementation - what happens when you “CEO” at home. And last, the best lessons you can actually learn from family life - lessons that will make you a stronger, more human leader.
