One honest conversation. One brave decision. One life changed.

In this I’ll Do Better Tomorrow episode, Kylie shares a moment she almost dismissed — until a handwritten letter revealed the unimaginable impact it had. We also unpack why goals often fail kids, how habits quietly heal, and what happens when parents choose courage over convention. This is about noticing what’s not working… and acting before it’s too late.

KEY POINTS

• Why focusing on who your child is becoming matters more than hitting a goal
• How movement reduces anxiety and low mood (even when it doesn’t “make you happy”)
• The quiet warning signs parents often miss
• Why “the best school” isn’t always the right school
• How one conversation gave a mum the courage to act — and likely saved a life
• A powerful reminder: resilience doesn’t grow alone, it grows in relationships
