#35 - Parenting Tips From An American Dad Living In Spain with Jesse Sweed

We sit down with the energetic and enthusiastic teacher/instructor, Jesse Sweed. Originally from Pennsylvania, Jesse talks about his travels to far-off countries such as South Korea, eventually settling down (for now) in exotic Spain. Jesse is a proud dad to 2 children and enjoys an excellent co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife. We pick Jesse's brain on all sorts of topics including how he includes "why statements" in his journal to motivate productivity, how he suggests dealing with mistakes and guilt, how to accept yourself and relate positively with others, and much more. Jesse also discusses various parenting hacks that any parent listening can easily apply to their own interactions with their children. What we loved most about this episode is just how many tips Jesse packed into one episode and in such a simple and easy-to-understand manner! We walked away feeling inspired by Jesse, and are confident you will as well. So, be prepared to learn and be inspired with us, and as Jesse suggests, don't forget to grab a pen and paper so that you don't miss a single tip!
