A single allegation can now reroute a custody case before a judge ever weighs “best interest of the child.” We're sounding the alarm on coercive control laws and the way they're being used in separation and divorce, starting with Colorado's new HB 26-1309, the Abuse in Cases of Separation Act, taking effect August 12. Domestic violence is real and evil, but these statutes expand “abuse” into non-physical categories so broad that routine conflict, financial boundaries, and modern co-parenting logistics can be reframed as coercion.We walk through the exact mechanics that make this so dangerous in family court: the preponderance of evidence standard, the threshold domestic violence hearing, and the custody presumption that can label a parent “unfit” on a 51% finding. We also break down the three buckets that show up in real filings: coercive control language like “regulating everyday behavior,” economic abuse claims built from budgeting or cutting off access to joint credit, and technological abuse claims built from location sharing apps or digital account access. If you've ever thought “let's keep this civil,” we explain why that mindset can be exploited the moment you stop being compliant.Then we get tactical. We lay out a practical defense protocol designed to withstand subjective allegations: a complete communication lockdown using court-approved parenting apps, a forensic paper trail that proves consistency and good faith, and a law enforcement script that protects you when a call becomes part of the litigation playbook. If you're a dad navigating separation, divorce, or a high-conflict co-parent, this is the kind of preparation that can protect your parenting time and your future. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors. Most ground is lost quietly through "drift" and decisions made under pressure.

At the peak of George Rivera building his company, he was practically printing money, but was working 90 hours a week and hating life.The business had everything. His family got what was left.He had to stop being the answer to everything inside his company. He built the systems, transferred the ownership, and stepped back. Two years later the business had scaled past $50 million and he was working 30 hours a week. Sometimes zero.In this episode, we covered:→ Why founders build a prison for themselves, even when they're financially free→ The "18 summers" framework that reframes how little time you actually have→ How to start reclaiming time even as a solopreneur with zero team→ What it costs your marriage when the business becomes your identity→ The difference between scaling freedom and scaling chaosGeorge, thank you for driving three hours to sit across from me and share your story with our audience!*Chapters*0:00 - Welcome & How George and Dillon Connected1:17 - George's Origin Story: Starting at 17 With $04:00 - First Six-Figure Year in College5:11 - $400M in Lifetime Sales: The Full Career Arc9:30 - First Major Business Collapse in 200510:25 - Seeking Dad's Approval: The Three-Way Bank Call12:38 - "Son, You Did It Once.

Divorce can turn a normal day into a pressure cooker: custody schedules, money stress, a house that goes quiet overnight, and one text from your ex that flips your mood in seconds. We sit down with Tyler McAdams, known online as Inspiring Father, a single dad of four and a high-level coach who built the HERO Method after walking straight through the same trenches. He doesn't sugarcoat it, and he doesn't preach. He talks like a dad who has lived it.We unpack the most common trap he sees in men: not a dramatic breakdown, but a slow drift. Drift shows up as lost identity, skipped workouts, zero routines, emotional reactivity, and reaching for quick relief like alcohol, TV, or a rebound relationship. Tyler connects that to what your kids actually need now: steady leadership, consistent presence, and a father who can regulate his nervous system when conflict spikes. We also dig into stress as a signal that something is off, why motivation fades fast, and how structure creates real change.Tyler lays out practical routines you can establish immediately: journaling that exposes patterns, daily movement that clears the mind, intentional time with your kids, and spiritual grounding that pulls you out of a constricted fear state. We finish with the HERO framework: Heal with clarity, Establish a new foundation, Rebuild identity through love and boundaries, Regulate your reactions, and Own your part with accountability. If you're trying to be a great dad while navigating divorce, this is a roadmap worth hearing. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors.

If you have ever looked at your teenager and thought, “Why are we suddenly having toddler-level emotional meltdowns again?” this episode is going to make so much sense. I had such a fascinating conversation with Tania Johnson from the Institute of Child Psychology about what is actually happening inside the teenage brain, and honestly, it completely reframed some things for me as a parent.We talk about why teens and toddlers are surprisingly similar from a brain development perspective, why emotional outbursts and withdrawal are actually normal parts of development, and what parents can do to stay connected without smothering their kids. I especially loved how practical this conversation became. Tania has such a gift for taking complicated psychology concepts and making them feel doable in real life.One of my biggest takeaways from this episode was the reminder that connection is still the foundation of parenting during the teen years. Even when they roll their eyes, shut their doors, or seem like they do not want us around, attachment and relationship still matter deeply.In this episode, we cover:Why the teenage brain develops similarly to a toddler's brainWhat co-regulation actually looks like during emotional momentsWhy talking less can sometimes help more with teensWhat is happening when your teen explodes and then withdrawsWhy parents should step back into connection after conflictHow attachment continues shaping mental health during adolescenceSimple family rituals that help teens feel loved and connectedWhy family meals matter more than most parents realize! Resources We Mention for Parenting Teens with ConnectionCheck out Tania's book: The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient Children by Tania Johnson and Tammy Schamuhn (Amazon / Bookshop.org)What Is Nervous System Work, and Why Is It Important?Teens Want to Be in Control.

Send us Fan MailDaniel Hong is a father of two daughters, fitness coach, cancer survivor, and founder of DH Fit Inc., where he helps busy parents build sustainable health habits that actually fit inside real life.In this episode, Daniel and Oscar have an honest conversation about fatherhood, burnout, identity, fitness, and the emotional weight many dads silently carry while trying to provide for their families.Daniel also opens up about surviving cancer in his early 20s, becoming obsessed with fitness afterward, and how fatherhood ultimately reshaped his understanding of what truly matters.This is a powerful conversation for any dad trying to navigate work, family, health, and identity without losing himself in the process.Follow Daniel:

The most dangerous divorce isn't always the loud one. Sometimes it's the quiet, “amicable” split where you think everything is fine, right up until you ask for 50/50 parenting time or a fair division and the mask comes off. We're talking directly to dads who feel safe because things are civil and to the dads already in a high-conflict fight, because family court doesn't reward hope. It rewards clear, objective proof.We break down a practical, courtroom-ready documentation system built around six behavior categories that show up again and again in custody disputes: exclusion, gatekeeping, interference, control, tactical strikes, and flexibility. You'll hear exactly what each category looks like in real life, how it evolves from subtle to hostile, and how to log it without adding emotion, assumptions, or intent. The goal is simple: stop getting dragged into “he said, she said,” and start building a forensic timeline with timestamps, screenshots, emails, call logs, and parenting app records that your attorney can deploy fast.We also dig into the part most dads miss: documenting your own stability. Your flexibility, consistency, and calm leadership become evidence of fitness and credibility, especially when the other side claims you're rigid or uncooperative. We close with a clear weekly mission: start the narrative-building chart now, organize your digital sanctuary, back it up, and treat the data like it will shape the next two decades of your life with your kids.

What happens when you mess up as a parent?Because let's be honest… no matter how intentional you try to be, no matter how many goals you set, there are still going to be moments where you lose your patience, react in a way you regret, or just plain get it wrong. The real question is not if that will happen, but what you do next.In this second half of my conversation with Jon Hord, we move from awareness into action. Jon shares what it actually looks like to repair those hard moments with your kids, how to model growth instead of perfection, and why those “mess up” moments can become some of the most powerful connection points in your family.This episode is incredibly practical, but also deeply encouraging. You are not stuck in your patterns. You are not defined by your worst moments. And you have more influence than you think in shaping your relationship with your kids moving forward.In this episode, we cover: What to say after you lose your temper or handle something poorly  Why apologizing to your kids builds respect instead of weakening authority  How to turn parenting mistakes into opportunities for connection  The difference between working on yourself silently and involving your kids in the process  A simple way to help kids learn compromise and ownership (using dinner!)  Why the dinner table is one of the most powerful connection points in your home  The impact of removing phones and distractions during family time  One mindset shift that can instantly change how you respond to your kidsResources We Mention for Repairing Parenting MistakesJoin the Engaged Father Project community nowThe importance of family dinnersWhat is the role of fathers when it comes to teaching kids about health and food?Helping teens and tweens build a healthy relationship with technologyDon't miss #LifeSkillsNow Season 5!

If you've ever looked at your child's behavior and thought, “What is going on right now?”—you're not alone.In this episode, we go beyond surface-level parenting advice and get into something deeper: what your child's behavior is actually trying to communicate. Wendy Snyder introduces a powerful framework that helps you “translate” your child's actions in real time.

There's a moment in this conversation I can't quite shake.A mom drops her child's favorite stuffed animal into the trash while her four-year-old begs her not to. If that makes your stomach tighten, you're not alone.Because even if you've never had a “trash can moment,” you've probably had that moment. The one where you hear yourself and think, “Wait…is this how I want to parent?”That's exactly where this conversation with Wendy Snyder begins. Not from perfection, but from honesty, growth, and a deep desire to do better than what we were handed.And the surprising part? She doesn't just share what went wrong. She shows us what to do instead in a way that feels doable and hopeful.If you've ever wondered why punishment doesn't work, why strong-willed kids push every button, or why you keep reacting in ways you swore you wouldn't, this episode will meet you right there.Inside, we talk about:The story behind that “trash can moment” and why it changed everythingWhat's really happening during power strugglesThe discipline belief most of us inherited and why it backfiresA simple 4-step process to set limits without yelling or shameWhy connection changes everythingHow to support strong-willed kids without breaking their spiritWhat breaking generational cycles actually looks likeThe long game of parenting and what success really meansUnderneath it all is a quiet shift. Maybe parenting isn't about controlling our kids better, but understanding them and ourselves more deeply.If that's the kind of change you've been craving, you're in the right place.Resources We Mention for Respectful DisciplinePre-order Wendy's new book at Amazon, Bookshop.org, or wherever you find your books, and then grab the preorder bonuses here.Listen to Michele Borba's interview about helping our kids build empathy.Scripts for calm connection with Bryanna KappadakunnelListen to Wendy's episode on parenting “cactus kids”My episode on the Fresh Start Family podcast about building connection through cookingCheck out the cookbook FOR kids, BY kids at kidscookrealfood.com/chefjr.  Get four free life skills workshops now at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/skillsKitchen StewardshipRaising Healthy Families follow Katie on Instagram or FacebookSubscribe to the newsletter to get weekly updatesYouTube shorts channel for HPHFind the Healthy Parenting Handbook at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/podcastAffiliate links used here.
