SOLO EPISODE FROM EVA

We’re all human and mess up sometimes. And occasionally, even the best of us royally mess up and really hurt the feelings of someone we love. In this episode, Eva shares a 3-step process which we believe is the best way to say “I’m Sorry” in such a situation. Eva shares this advice in response to the following question from one of our Big Dreamers, Lisa from Miami:

Eva, I royally messed up. My sister Jenny was really getting on my nerves the other day. She’s younger and would not stop coming in my room (even though I was trying to do my school work). She was playing with my toys and distracting me. I asked her a few times nicely to leave but she would not and finally I lost my cool and screamed at her to get out, told her she could not touch my toys and that she was not allowed in my room ever again. Plus, a bunch of other mean things that were really out of line. It felt good in the moment because I was so angry but, as you could imagine, she burst into tears. It took my parents 30 minutes to console her. Even after my parents told me I had to say I’m sorry and I did it, she was still clearly hurt by what her big sister had said. She really looks up to me. I’m wondering how could I have handled things differently, and what is the best way to say ”I’m Sorry” is if I mess up again in the future?

We hope you enjoy this episode and believe it is great advice for our kid and adult Big Dreamers!

DREAM BIG ACADEMY – WAITING LIST

We are hard at work at the Dream Big Academy — a course that Eva is creating with her parents (Alex and Olga) to teach kids about success principles (e.g. self-belief, positive attitude, gratitude, etc). We feel that these concepts are not adequately taught at schools, that all the materials created by top “gurus” are made by adults for adults, and that it is never too early to start learning these concepts. Be sure to sign up here – DreamBigPodcast.com/waitlist – to be the first to know when we are ready to release the course. You’ll also be put on our waiting list if we decide to open up any more spots for the Beta Group (which is currently full). Sign up at — DreamBigPodcast.com/waitlist
