59 | The #1 Parenting Strategy for Reducing Tantrums and Behavior Issues (Backed by Research)

What if one parenting technique could reduce whining, tantrums, and interruptions by up to 80%? In this episode, we dive into the research-backed power of planned ignoring, based on the work of Dr. Alan Kazdin of the Yale Parenting Center. Research from Yale's Parenting Center shows that planned ignoring—when used correctly with consistent positive attention—can reduce negative behaviors in children by up to 80%. But here's the deal—planned ignoring only works when paired with intentional, strength-based attention. And take a guess where you can get a detailed roadmap of your child’s unique strengths? My website of course. Head to WendyGossett.com  and take the free Child Temperament Test—then grab a copy of my best-selling book, Your Child’s Inner Drive: Parenting by Personality from Toddlers to Teens. It’s your go-to guide for raising your child with insight, intention, and confidence. Learn how to strategically withdraw attention from negative behavior while building stronger bonds through positive reinforcement. With examples, step-by-step guidance, and real talk on what actually works, this episode will transform the way you parent today.

57 | The Insecure Friend: Why MBTI NF Personality Types Feel Too Much in Relationships

Do you have a friend who craves deep, meaningful conversations, champions your dreams, and feels emotions with unmatched intensity? If so, you might have an NF (Intuitive Feeler) friend! Known for their depth, passion, and emotional intelligence, NFs (ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP) are the visionaries, dreamers, and counselors of the friendship world. But with their high expectations, sensitivity, and desire for novelty, friendships with NFs can be both deeply rewarding and occasionally challenging. In this episode, we break down the NF friend using the TRUE framework (Trust, Respect, Understanding, Encouragement) to explore: ✅ Why NFs form soul-level connections but can struggle with feeling unseen or lonely. ✅ How their idealism and deep emotions impact friendships—for better or worse. ✅ Their love for novelty and growth—and how boredom can create restlessness. ✅ How to be a great friend to an NF—and what they need in return. If you’re an NF, this episode will help you understand your friendship patterns and challenges. If you have an NF in your life, you’ll gain insight into what makes them such inspiring and devoted friends.

56 | Are You a Controlling Friend? Strengths and Struggles of the MBTI SJ Personality

Are you looking for a steady, dependable friend who always remembers birthdays, follows through on commitments, and shows up when it counts? Then you need an SJ friend! In this episode, we explore the Guardian temperament (SJ types: ESFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ)—the friends who hold everything together with their structure, loyalty, and strong sense of responsibility. But just like every type, SJs have friendship strengths and struggles. While they’re incredibly reliable and thoughtful, they can also be overly rigid, controlling, or struggle with emotional connection and encouragement. Join me as we break down the SJ friend using the TRUE friendship framework: ✅ True – Their unmatched loyalty and dependability—but also their struggles with control and holding grudges. ✅ Respect – How SJs show up for others but sometimes struggle with boundaries or taking on too much responsibility. ✅ Understanding – The difference between emotionally attuned SFJs and logical, solution-focused STJs (and how that impacts listening and empathy). ✅ Encouragement – Why SJs show support through actions rather than words—and why SFJs may need reassurance but struggle to ask for it. Whether you’re an SJ, have an SJ friend, or just want to deepen your understanding of different friendship dynamics, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and practical takeaways.
