There is a reason that this week’s round-up of StrengthsFinder Isogo TV episodes are the {hands-down} most popular episodes from the past year.

Why? Because marriage and parenting and family life are tough.

As we continue to get settled in New York, David and I find that we are tested time and again—even just today. Will we allow ourselves to see the power of our interwoven Strengths or only the holes between them?

• He craves decision-making power. I dig my heels in.
• I crave order. He hankers for flexibility.
• He craves a jump start. I hold back for perfection.
• I crave freedom to work at an accelerated pace. He presses in for meaningful face-to-face connection.

Then, the downward spiral ensues. Again.

But–we know–we have the power to pull out of the spiral. We know we are in control of our own spiral. When we really choose to speak the same language, to consider that the most frustrating moments are filled with misunderstood or misapplied Talent, the entire conversation changes.

Over the past year of Isogo TV shooting, we have had the opportunity to share our story with you–our struggles and the tools that have taken us out of the steepest of spirals and have allowed us to laugh more and roll our eyes less.

We have also explored the mind-boggling and challenging responsibility of parenthood. We are in the beginning of the parenting journey (with a 5, 3, and 1 year old at home!).

Every day presents itself with an opportunity to see strength and parent in the ONE way that will work for us—through the lens of our own Strengths as we relentlessly pursue the talents of our kids.

When I talk about “life-changing stories” through the power of our own unique, brilliant Strengths, I am speaking from experience—in my marriage, in my parenting, in my extended family. The life-change potential is exponential.

So, please enjoy catching up on a few of these episodes. Each is about 6-9 minutes long and ends with a tangible takeaway so you can really take the next step toward life-change for you.
