🐝🧐 Be Curious 💬Deep Dive Discussion with Garth Braithwaite
Curiosity is the foundation of learning, growth, and strong relationships. In this episode of JOYrific, Garth and I dive deep into what it means to Be Curious—as parents, as partners, and as lifelong learners.
We explore how curiosity can transform the way we approach challenges, improve our relationships, and help us ask better questions instead of making assumptions. Inspired by Ted Lasso’s famous “Be Curious, Not Judgmental” moment, we discuss how staying open-minded allows us to navigate parenting, friendships, and even difficult conversations with more understanding and empathy.
🌱 Topics We Cover:
✅ How curiosity strengthens parent-child relationships
✅ Why jumping into fix-it mode can backfire
✅ The power of pausing to listen before reacting
✅ How to raise kids who feel safe expressing themselves
✅ The zero-sum fallacy—why competition doesn’t build connection
🎙 Plus, Garth shares insights from raising teenage daughters, and I reflect on how curiosity has shaped our marriage and family dynamic.
💡 Final Thought: Curiosity isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being open to learning, growing, and understanding the people around us.
