Did I Spoil My Kids?

Suzy Ashworth
About this episode

Hello you gorgeous human being,

Let’s talk parenting. Not the Instagram-perfect, everyone’s-in-matching-outfits kind. I’m talking real life. Real tension. Real questioning.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what’s been going down in my home, and in my heart, as I prepare to take my kids on a deeply intentional 18-day adventure to South Africa.

There’s no big lesson wrapped in a bow here, just honest reflection on a question that’s been echoing through my mind lately: Did I spoil my kids?

This isn’t about guilt or shame. It’s about awareness, curiosity, and staying in the practice of conscious leadership, at home and in business.

If you're a parent. A leader. Or simply someone who wants to do life with more intentionality... this one's for you.

Let’s jump in!


QUOTES:

  • “I’m not trying to punish them, I’m trying to raise them. And sometimes that means choosing discomfort for all of us.” 
  • “Privilege without perspective breeds entitlement. I don’t want that for my kids.”
  • “This trip is as much about character building for me as it is for them.” 


HIGHLIGHTS: 

04:15 — The Great Resistance: What my teenagers are teaching me about surrender, identity, and the illusion of control.

08:53 — Entitlement vs Gratitude: The hard conversation I’ve been having with myself around privilege, work ethic, and values.

13:48 — Redefining Infinite Receiving: Why choosing service over luxury this summer felt like the richest decision I could make — for me and my kids.


Ways to work with me:


Faith + Action = Miracles
