Podcasts about Parent

In today's episode I sit down with developmental psychologist Dr. Jay Belsky to explore a question so many parents wrestle with: is temperament destiny? We talk about why children differ in how deeply they're shaped by their environments, what “developmental plasticity” really means, and why the same parenting can land so differently depending on the child. We discuss the difference between sensitivity and susceptibility, the limits of attachment research, and why focusing only on long-term outcomes can distract us from what matters in the here and now.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

EP:180 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I sit down with my dear friend, mentor, and neighbor Amy Jo Martin — New York Times bestselling author, founder of Renegade Global, and host of the Why Not Now? podcast — for a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, motherhood, and how AI may actually improve our quality of life. We share the modern way we met — sliding into each other's DMs during our NICU seasons — and how that moment led to us living on the same street and working together inside her elite community of senior-level women, Renegade. I share my own Why Not Now? moment — the season when my husband Jonathan was struggling, I was overwhelmed by caregiving and motherhood, and I committed to 10,000 steps a day for three months, a simple decision that transformed my mental health, nervous system, and sense of self. Amy Jo then shares her defining Why Not Now? moment — breaking every corporate rule by taking an elevator ride to the Phoenix Suns locker room to teach Shaquille O'Neal how to tweet — launching her career in entrepreneurship, leadership, and global brand partnerships, including working with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. From there, we dive deep into: ▶ Burnout recovery & nervous system regulation ▶ The hidden cost of hustle culture ▶ Entrepreneurship, leadership & redefining success ▶ High performance without self-abandonment ▶ AI, mental health & quality of life ▶ Conscious productivity & emotional regulation ▶ Motherhood, identity shifts & life transitions   WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH   This episode is for you if: ✔ You're an entrepreneur, leader, or high achiever feeling burned out ✔ You're a parent overwhelmed by stress and mental load ✔ You're questioning hustle culture and craving balance ✔ You're curious (or uneasy) about AI and the future of work ✔ You want success without sacrificing mental health This conversation will give you language, clarity, and grounded tools to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and still honor your ambition.   CONNECT & RESOURCES Follow Brooke on Instagram: @brookeweinst Explore programs & resources: www.drbrookeweinstein.com Connect with Amy Jo Martin: amyjomartin.com Listen to the Why Not Now?

"There are so many good stories that don't get out there because the industry is difficult and people give up."  Freedom always sounds heroic—until you realize it costs something.  Some people accept the life handed to them. Others feel the tension between loyalty and identity. This episode explores the story of what happens when a young woman refuses an arranged future that would elevate her family—but imprison her spirit. The story unfolds in a historical setting where walking away isn't symbolic rebellion—it's dangerous. Growth here isn't fantasy empowerment. It's conflict, consequence, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the very thing you run from is part of who you are.  Nkrumah Mensah shares how Anne Of Survivor evolved from a single idea into a seven-book series after young readers demanded more. What began as a story about escaping expectation became something deeper: identity, belonging, and the ripple effect of one bold decision. Nkrumah also reveals how her characters "talk back," how dyslexia shaped her journey into storytelling, and why empowering even ten girls is success enough.  Nkrumah is a novelist based in Greensboro, North Carolina. A commercial construction professional by day and writer by night, she comes from a long line of storytellers and is now bringing those voices to the page for the first time.  Learn more & connect:  Book: Anne Of Survivor by Nkrumah Mensah  Instagram: @thenkrumahmensah  Also mentioned:  Harry Potter  Lord of the Rings  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Struggling with constant sibling fights? Learn how to help siblings get along when one is dysregulated as Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, shares practical strategies to calm nervous systems, restore connection, and support every child's emotional growth.Feeling stuck in constant sibling fights? You're not alone. When one child is dysregulated, it can feel like refereeing a never-ending WWE match in your own home. But the good news? This isn't about bad behavior—it's about nervous system regulation.In this episode, I break down why sibling conflict happens, how emotional dysregulation impacts neurotypical siblings, and practical strategies for supporting siblings so the whole family can feel safer, calmer, and more connected.Why does my child fight more with their sibling than others?Sibling conflict isn't just about personality clashes—it's often a nervous system issue. When one child's brain is dysregulated, impulse control drops and neutral interactions can feel threatening. This stress spreads across the family, impacting other children and family dynamics.Key takeaways:Regulate first: Calm the dysregulated child before problem-solving.Name it: Explain, “Your sibling's brain is having a hard time—it's not because of you.”Protect siblings: Give safe spaces, predictable attention, and permission to step away.Parent example: One mom noticed her neurotypical child withdrawing during board games while her dysregulated younger child exploded. Simply creating a calm, structured activity time reduced tension and restored connection.How can I support my child while still giving attention to their sibling?It's tempting to split attention equally, but equity doesn't mean identical. A struggling child may need tailored support, while other kids still need recognition to avoid resentment.Tips for practice:Schedule one-on-one time with each child, even 10–15 minutes daily.Use family routines and predictable activities to lower stress for the entire family.Normalize dysregulation: “We all have hard moments—brains get overwhelmed.”

In this Artist Episode 3-Time MTCA Alumni Parent Anne Josephson and MTCA Director Charlie Murphy discuss:

440 | What's Your School Known For? (And Why That Matters More Than Your Ads) Podcast Description In Episode 440 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo tackle a question that sounds simple—but quietly determines how easy (or hard) it is to grow your school: What is your school known for in your town? Because here's the truth: better ads don't fix a fuzzy identity. Ads amplify what already exists. So if your message is unclear, your marketing just spreads that lack of clarity faster—and you end up attracting the wrong families, competing on price, or feeling like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Duane and Allie break down the three main “buckets” schools fall into (transformation, community, performance), how to figure out which one you should lead with, and a practical “20-minute clarity exercise” to help you define your message, back it up with proof, and run it consistently. Key Takeaways Ads amplify what's already there. If your message is fuzzy, your ads spread fuzz faster. Being “known for” isn't your style or your art. It's the shortcut story parents tell about you. Don't be a “wandering generality.” Duane references Zig Ziglar: you want to be a meaningful specific. Most schools fit into three buckets: Transformation (confidence, focus, leadership, behavior) Community (belonging, family vibe, culture) Performance (competition, high-level skill, athletic results) You can deliver all three, but you can't market all three equally. Pick one to lead with, then drill into it. Clarity helps you “sift, sort, and screen” the right families—and repel the wrong fit. Your testimonials and reviews tell you the truth. Listen for repeated words and themes that show what people actually value. Your message must match your culture. If your staff behavior and teaching style don't align with what you claim to be known for, your brand becomes confusing. Consistency wins. Changing your message every month trains your community to ignore you. Action Steps for School Owners Ask 10 parents what your school is known for. Don't lead them. Just ask: “What are we known for?” Then listen for patterns. Ask 3–5 people in the community who don't train with you. Wear your apparel, ask politely, and treat it like research: “Have you heard of our school? What have you heard?” (Duane even suggests a small thank-you gift card.) Choose your primary bucket: transformation, community, or performance. You can still deliver all three, but decide what you want to lead with. Run the 20-minute clarity exercise. Step 1: Gather the wins. Pull your best texts, emails, reviews, and success stories. Step 2: Circle repeated words/themes. (Or use AI to help spot patterns.) Step 3: Pick one primary promise. Example: “We build confident kids” or “We forge future leaders.” Step 4: Pick one proof. Choose one real thing that makes the promise believable: a system, a ritual, a program, a story, or a measurable result. Turn it into one messaging sentence—and put it everywhere. Use it on your website, in your intro script, in your first 30 days of parent communication, and in staff language. Make it part of your weekly rhythm. Duane's example: “How are we forging future leaders this week?” Then tie that identity to what each program is focusing on. Audit for brand mismatch. If you're a transformational school but your teaching style feels like a Navy SEAL bootcamp—or you're a performance school but your culture is goofy and unstructured—the disconnect will cost you retention. Run it consistently for a few months before you tweak it. Don't change your identity every time you get bored. Let it resonate with staff and families. Additional Resources Mentioned Zig Ziglar: “Don't be a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.” Joe Polish / Genius Network: “Sift, sort, and screen” (attract the right people, repel the wrong fit).

Listeners will discover how FareVet works, why price transparency matters, and how the veterinary care landscape varies across regions. Pietro also introduces their upcoming AI chatbot, which aims to simplify the vet search process and help users budget for their pet's care more accurately.

In this episode, Abby Cooper (Risely's Director of Coaching and a parent of a child with type 1 diabetes) sits down with Jessie Bennett, a mom of two in California whose 13-year-old son, Samuel, was diagnosed with T1D two years ago. Jessie opens up about what the first year really felt like: survival mode, numbness, and the constant, invisible fear of low blood sugar that can hijack your body and your mind.Together, Abby and Jessie talk about why this episode is intentionally different, because the goal is not to wait until everything feels “fixed” before you get support. Jessie shares what shifted through coaching: building a simple “order of operations” toolkit, learning to slow down the spiral, and redefining progress as being able to live even when fear still shows up.WHAT WE COVER:What the first 6 to 12 months after a child's diagnosis can feel like, and why it's normalHow fear of low blood sugar shows up physically, emotionally, and in decision-makingThe “invisible” anxiety parents carry, even when they look calm on the outsideWhy coaching is not about erasing fear, but changing how you live alongside itA practical toolkit for making decisions: insulin on board, trend, and “I have what I need to handle this”Redefining progress when you're still in the middle, without rushing yourself to a finish lineKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Fear is protective, but it comes with a cost. The goal is not to shame it away. It is to stop letting it run the whole day (or night).2️⃣ Real change comes from experience, not explanation.

What happens when you finally stop asking permission to be yourself? If you’ve been wondering how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, this conversation will show you it’s possible. Homeschool mom and creative entrepreneur Latoya shares her journey from living for everyone else to discovering what she actually wants—and why that shift changed everything in her homeschool life. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because you can’t give what you don’t have, and your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. Latoya hit 40 and realized she’d spent decades doing what everyone expected—but had never asked herself what SHE actually wanted. As a homeschool mom, restaurant management graduate, and someone who always made sure everyone else was okay, the idea of prioritizing herself felt selfish. Scary. Wrong. But when she finally gave herself permission to explore her creativity, build her crochet business, and trust her own voice? That was when things began to shift. Her homeschool days became more peaceful. Her kids became more autonomous. And she discovered that choosing herself wasn’t selfish—it was the best thing she could do for her family. How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom: Latoya’s Journey from Self-Sacrifice to Self-Trust What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For: Why serving yourself actually serves your family better How to distinguish between what you want and what others expect of you The power of silence and solitude in discovering your authentic voice Why “waiting for the answer” is part of the process From Rigid to Present: Redefining Homeschool Success What a “good day” used to look like (spoiler: checking all the boxes) vs. what it looks like now How to choose peace over productivity for a more meaningful family life Why your kids’ autonomy grows when you honour your own The truth about gaps, “behind,” and what kids actually need to thrive Caribbean Flow vs. Hustle Culture: The cultural pressure to always be “doing something” Why presence matters more than productivity How to give yourself permission to just BE with your people What happens when you stop measuring success externally Creative Work as Life Force (Not Luxury): Why Latoya’s crochet business isn’t “extra”—it’s essential How creative pursuits actually fuel better mothering Choosing fulfillment over financial gain (and being okay with that) Teaching your kids to honour their interests by modeling it yourself The Inner Work Nobody Talks About: Why inner work is gritty, messy, and nothing like social media portrays How to extend to yourself the same compassion you give others The first small decision where you stop explaining and start trusting yourself Why disappointing others is sometimes the most aligned choice “What is best for you, for me is what’s best for them because it trickles into everything else. So the happier I become, the more comfortable I become with myself, the better everything around me gets.”  — Latoya Why This Conversation Matters This isn’t just another interview about homeschooling. It’s about what happens when you finally permit yourself to ask: Who am I beyond the roles I play? If you’re struggling with how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, Latoya’s story is for you. She’s every mom who’s ever wondered if wanting something for herself makes her selfish. But here’s what Latoya discovered (and what you will too): When you choose yourself, your kids don’t suffer. They thrive. Because they get to see what it looks like to honor your own voice, trust your own knowing, and live from alignment instead of obligation. Your homeschool doesn’t need more curriculum. It needs more of YOU—the real you, the aligned you, the unapologetic you.

It would cost approximately €60,112 per year to 'employ' someone to do the myriad of jobs carried out by a stay-at-home parent. But more than eight in ten (82%) adults across Ireland still fail to recognise the true financial worth of the people fulfilling this crucial role in homes all around the country. The latest survey from Royal London Ireland, a leading provider of life insurance and pensions in Ireland, shows that less than one in five (18%) of the 1,000 adults polled nationwide estimate the cost of carrying out the responsibilities of a stay-at-home parent at over €50,000. On average, adults estimated the cost at €34,477 – a shortfall of more than €25,000 compared to Royal London Ireland's calculated notional salary. Now in its 10th year, Royal London's Stay-at-Home Parent report examines how adults in Ireland assess the monetary worth of parents who provide full-time care and household management at home and aims to raise awareness of the invisible monetary value of the contribution provided by stay-at-home parents that deserves both support and consideration in financial planning. The estimated value given by the Irish public is then compared with market research on the possible cost of hiring someone to carry out the full range of parenting duties. The role's estimated annual equivalent has increased by 5.2% to €60,112 – up from €57,140 in 2024 – and representing an overall rise of about 48% from €40,560 when the study was first conducted ten years ago in 2015. According to the latest Central Statistics Office (CSO) Vital Statistics Annual Report, 54,526 babies were born in 2023, with 16% of mothers identifying their occupation as a homemaker. Karen O'Flaherty, Senior Propositions Executive of Royal London Ireland, commented, "Ten years of this research has consistently shown that the responsibilities carried out by stay-at-home parents form a vital part of how families function. Since the study began in 2015, the estimated annual value of a stay-at-home parent has risen by nearly 50%, yet public perception has not kept pace. Stay-at-home parents carry out an enormous amount of daily responsibilities, from childcare and household organisation to education support, taxiing, and daily logistics – all of which would be very expensive to replace. While many working parents balance similar duties alongside their jobs, this research highlights just how essential the contributions of all parents are, and the importance of ensuring they have adequate financial protection, such as life insurance or serious illness cover, to safeguard their family's wellbeing if the unexpected occurs". The 10th edition of the Royal London Ireland Stay-at-Home Parent Survey found: More than one in five women (22%) accurately estimated that the cost would exceed €50,000, compared to 14% of men. One in four adults (24%) believes it would cost just €20,000–€30,000 to hire someone to take on the responsibilities of a stay-at-home parent, while a further one in five (21%) places the cost between €30,000–€40,000. Men (28%), adults aged 18–24 (29%) and those over the age of 55 (29%) were the groups most likely to estimate the salary at €20,000–€30,000. People aged 35–44 were the most likely to correctly estimate the financial value at over €50,000 (22%). One in five residents of Leinster (21%) and Dublin (20%) estimated the value at above €50,000 – the highest accuracy levels compared with other regions. A notable one in twenty (6%) believe the cost would be under €10,000, highlighting a significant underestimation of the role. Ms O'Flaherty continued, "What really emerges from this year's findings is how people's own life stage shapes their understanding of the role. Those who placed the highest value on the work of a stay-at-home parent tend to be in the 35–44 age bracket, which is the group most likely to be raising young children themselves and dealing directly with the practical and financial demands it entails. This aligns with recent CSO d...

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof welcome author, speaker, and embodiment coach Preston Smiles for a powerful conversation on the Father Wound — and how paternal presence or absence shapes the nervous system. Together, they explore how a father's regulation, emotional availability, and play patterns influence brain development, stress physiology, attachment, intimacy, and leadership. Drawing from both lived experience and developmental research, this episode examines the real impact of masculine containment — not through blame, but through understanding. From childhood patterning to adult relationships, parenting, and community repair, this conversation offers grounded insight, somatic depth, and a hopeful path toward nervous system healing. Timestamps: 00:00 –  Intro/The Good Boy Pattern 08:00 – The Father Wound 17:30 – Play and Masculine Energy 33:30 – Shame and Reclaiming the Masculine 52:30 – Capacity and Embodied Partnership Key Takeaways: The fatherwound isn't just emotional, it's neurological and somatic, shaping how we regulate stress, relate, and play. Healthy masculine presence supports brain development through movement, physical play, safety, and co-regulation. Many relational patterns come from what was never modeled, not from personal failure. Healing happens through embodied experience, safe relationships, and repeated nervous system repair, not just insight.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio breaks down a critical truth most contractors overlook: the incumbent wasn't always experienced either. Before winning their first contract, many companies had no federal past performance—they simply put their name in the hat and refused to disqualify themselves early. Ryan walks through how to research recompetes properly by digging into parent awards, task orders, and spending patterns to uncover the real contract value—often far larger than what appears at first glance. Ryan also explains why federal contracting success requires focus, systems, and dedicated effort. Most businesses fail because they try to "dabble" in government work while prioritizing private-sector revenue. Ryan emphasizes that winning in the Department of Defense space demands someone whose only job is federal capture, shaping opportunities, and responding strategically. The companies that win don't self-reject—they submit, learn, and let the government decide. Key Takeaways: The best contractors win because they don't deselect themselves before submitting Parent awards and spending data reveal the true value behind "small" task orders Federal contracting requires dedicated systems—successful firms don't just dabble If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

Sonya shares what life looked like before the diagnosis, the early signs that something wasn't right, and the emotional shift that occurred when she became her mother's full-time caregiver, stepping into what she describes as "becoming the mother of my mother." In this deeply moving episode, we're joined by Sonya Jury, a transformational leader, speaker, entrepreneur, and Certified EOS (Entrepreneuer Operating System) Implementer known for her ability to connect the dots and turn complexity into clarity. While Sonya helps organizations bring vision to life professionally, she also brings a powerful and deeply personal perspective shaped by her years as a caregiver for her mother. We talk about Sonya's book, Mom Forgot My Birthday, written after what she candidly calls "riding the dementia train" with her mom. The title captures the heartbreak, confusion, and reality of Alzheimer's, and the book itself is structured around the three stages of the disease: early, middle, and late. Sonya reflects on how her relationship with her mother evolved through each stage- from uncertainty and frustration to grief, acceptance, and profound love. Throughout the conversation, Sonya blends her natural leadership lens with deep compassion, offering clarity for listeners who may be worried about their own parents or loved ones. She shares common warning signs of Alzheimer's, the very first step to take if concerns arise, and what she wishes she had known earlier- lessons she now offers to help others navigate caregiving with more resilience, understanding, and grace. Sonya's story is honest, tender, and deeply human. This episode offers both practical guidance and emotional reassurance for caregivers, family members, and anyone seeking to better understand dementia and Alzheimer's — reminding us that even in loss, there can be clarity, connection, and compassion. In this episode, we discuss: Early signs of Alzheimer's and dementia How caregiving reshapes family roles and relationships The emotional realities of each stage of the disease What to do if you're concerned about a loved one Lessons learned after five years as a caregiver The heart behind Mom Forgot My Birthday Listen now for a powerful conversation about leadership, caregiving, love, and honoring those we care for even as memories fade.

Earth Home 40202, an initiative you heard about on this program back in October, is launching this supportive, empowering, health based, community building program for parents and older children. The program is free, but please let us know if you plan to attend by emailing earth.home.40202@gmail.com. Learn more about Earth Home 40202 at https://www.bikecourier.org/earth-home-40202/ or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/people/Deep-Ecology-Louisville/61581836699217/ Parenting today happens in the context of constant uncertainty—climate change, social instability, economic stress—and our nervous systems are taking that in whether we name it or not. Climate anxiety isn't a disorder; it's a nervous system response to ongoing, unresolved threat. Our bodies are designed to detect danger, and climate change is a chronic, future-oriented stressor. Many parents are quietly carrying fear and grief about the world their children are inheriting. That often shows up as burnout, urgency, irritability, or feeling like they're never doing enough. Children sense the state of the adults around them. They don't need all the information, but they feel the regulation—or dysregulation—of the nervous systems caring for them. From a nervous-system lens, anxiety and behavioral struggles aren't signs of weakness or bad parenting; they're signals that the system is overwhelmed. Our mental and emotional health are deeply connected to our environment. Humans regulate better with access to nature, sunlight, rhythm, and sensory safety—we are not separate from the natural world. Environmental degradation impacts mental health not just psychologically, but physiologically. When the environment feels unsafe, nervous systems stay on high alert. A nervous-system perspective shifts the question from “What's wrong with parents or kids?” to “What has their nervous system been asked to carry?” Regulation and connection are foundational—not luxuries. When nervous systems are supported, people have more capacity for hope, care, and meaningful action. Slowing down, repairing relationships, and spending time in nature are not passive responses; they are stabilizing acts that support both individual well-being and collective resilience. Hope doesn't come from denying reality. It comes from feeling safe enough to face hard truths while staying connected to one another. Supporting parents' nervous systems is a form of future care—for children, communities, and the planet.

It's time for another Festive Fridays installment as we head across the pond for a quirky Christmas comeback story.ABOUT Tinsel TownA washed-up Hollywood action hero takes a role in a small English village's quirky Christmas pantomime, where he finds unexpected inspiration through the show's straight-talking dance instructor.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR Tinsel TownDecember 5, 2025 | SkyCAST & CREW OF Tinsel TownKiefer Sutherland as Bradley MacRebel Wilson as JillBRAN'S Tinsel Town SYNOPSISWe're on the set of Killing Time 7. Meet movie star Bradley Mack — and yeah, he's washed up. There won't be a Killing Time 8. His agent explains that no one wants to hire him anymore: he's difficult to work with, doesn't do his own stunts, and he's getting older.The only offer on the table? A theater show in England. He's never done theater before, but why the heck not? Plus, his daughter lives over there.He lands in London and is greeted by his driver. On the way to the inn where he's staying, Brad falls asleep — and wakes up three hours away from London. Turns out the theater isn't in the city at all. It's in a tiny town.And not only that… it's a weird version of Cinderella. A pantomime.Brad is furious and wants to quit, but the contract is ironclad. To make matters worse, he now has to stay with an old guy named Albert who works at the theater.So he sticks it out. He proves he can sing. He proves he can act — very loudly.What he can't do? Parent.When he finds out his daughter will be staying with him for three days, he totally freaks out.While out with his daughter, they bump into Jillian, the choreographer, who's there with her daughter, Cara.As he spends more time with his kid, he actually starts enjoying things — even the performing — despite the cast constantly poking fun at his career. (Apparently that's just what pantomimes do. It's not personal!)Everything is going pretty well… until his ex-wife shows up, publicly calls him out, and takes his daughter back.Brad spirals. He gets drunk, storms the stage during the Christmas tree lighting, ruins the whole thing, and gets arrested.The entire troupe shows up to support him and make sure he gets released without serious consequences.And that's when he realizes — he loves this group. He wants to show up for them.They put on the show, and everyone sings everyone's favorite Christmas song: Roar by Katy Perry.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Chopra to talk about what real optimism actually means — and why it's so different from toxic positivity. We unpack the science behind resilience, curiosity, and staying open when life is hard, and we get practical about how to grow your “optimism muscle” in everyday moments. We talk about language shifts (like the power of “never” and “always”), parenting through low-capacity seasons, rituals that ground families, and why affirmations and manifestation don't always work the way we think they do.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

To the loyal dads who listen regularly, thank you. Your presence here matters more than you know. And to the moms quietly cueing up a three-minute clip to share in the kitchen or on a car ride, this one is for you too.I want to say this clearly: fathers matter. Not as backup parents. Not as helpers. Not as secondary support. Fathers shape nervous systems. You shape self-worth. You shape how your children experience safety, confidence, boundaries, and the world itself.In this episode, I talk about something I call “The Father Effect.” When a dad slows down, makes eye contact, mirrors emotion, and listens without immediately fixing, it lands with extraordinary power that resonates deeply and often generationally.I also speak to a hard truth with compassion: many men were raised with a very narrow emotional rulebook. Be strong. Don't cry. Don't feel too much. And if you do feel something big, let it be anger. But emotions don't disappear when they're suppressed, they come out sideways.This episode is an invitation. Not to be tougher or louder but to be braver in a different way. To be steady. To be soft. To listen first. To lead from love, not fear.Because when fathers are present, regulated, and emotionally available, children thrive.And what you model today will echo in the adults your children become.Jennifer's Takeaways:Fathers Matter: Introduction and Acknowledgment (00:00)The Power of Fatherhood (01:22)The Father Effect: Attunement and Emotional Connection (02:19)Balancing Authority and Presence (05:49)The Role of Emotional Maturity (11:05)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.
