Sometimes, it’s difficult to walk away from a deal or situation because it feels like missing out on a deal of a lifetime. However, not all deals are beneficial to us, and we should learn to walk away from those.

Let’s Talk About This: What do you want at this point in your life? Does that ‘big’ deal align with your plans and goals? What would you lose if you take that potential deal of a ‘lifetime’? What are the things that would make you walk away from a deal?   See Blog Posts on - Ride OR Die Life: http://rideordiecouples.com/   Follow them on INSTAGRAM: @brandonandsam @brandontmiddleton @rideordiecouples   Like them on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rideordiecouples/

We all have a wide range of egos that we exhibit in different situations or when we are with different people. In this episode, which is inspired by the book, The Alter Ego Effect by Todd X, we talk about how we channel our different alter egos in our relationship with ourselves, our kids, our business partners, and the people around us. Let’s Talk About This: What’s your opinion on Ego? What are some examples of egos you don’t like? What ways has ego served you in your different relationships? How do you step into the character that will serve you and the people around you?   See Blog Posts on - Ride OR Die Life: http://rideordiecouples.com/   Follow them on INSTAGRAM: @brandonandsam @rideordiecouples   Like them on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rideordiecouples

In most relationships, the men control the money while the women control the sex. This often causes a power struggle that affects the love and, consequently, the relationship. For us, we’ve learned to find a not-so-perfect balance between love, sex, and money and NEVER to use our “perceived” power as a weapon against one another. Let’s Talk About This: What’s the power dynamic in your relationship? Do you find yourself throwing your power in your partner’s face? Or vice versa? How do you deal with love, sex and money power struggle in your relationship? Are your finances combined, or do you have separate bank accounts?   See Blog Posts on - Ride OR Die Life: http://rideordiecouples.com/   Follow them on INSTAGRAM: @brandonandsam @rideordiecouples   Like them on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/rideordiecouples/

However, you should use this time to get at the best ideas and to consider where you might need to make some changes!   TALK ABOUT THIS: What digital guidelines do we have for our family? How do you know they are working? Ask everyone to give a grade on their techniques considering the pros and cons.  What digital guidelines do we want for our family?  What are the best ways for us to have healthy discussion as a family around digital issues?  What are the opportunities for us to use technology for good together?  Are our kids mature enough to handle the digital opportunities we are giving them?

Doesn’t every parent want his or her kid to become independent? While this seems like an obvious “yes,” many parents interrupt their children’s growth process by making life too easy for them. When we fall into the trap of removing hardships and shortening challenges we rob our kids of lessons they will need for life outside the home. It’s a big topic and we hope today’s discussion challenges your thinking! Talk About This: What is my natural bent... to be too permissive or too restrictive on my kid’s push towards independence? What should I do in light of this? What are some of the reasons I am reluctant to let m kids "do it themselves?" What are some of the greatest steps to independence I could grant my kids in THIS season of their lives? What are some of their "stretch" activities?
