A reflection on meeting your body as a loyal companion rather than another project waiting to be improved.
In this episode, I explain why low live attendance at webinars, challenges, boot camps, and other launch events is completely normal—and why getting more people to show up live can make a significant difference to your results. While only around 30–40% of people may attend live, getting more than 50% is considered a strong result. I share why live attendees often engage more, watch for longer, and are more likely to buy than people who only watch the replay. I share five practical ways to increase live attendance at your launch events, starting with choosing the right day and time for your specific audience. I explain how getting your event into people's calendars, providing something valuable in advance, offering a live-only bonus, sending plenty of reminders, and adding a personal touch can all encourage more people to show up. By the end of this episode, you'll have simple strategies you can use to improve your live attendance and create a more engaging launch experience. 3 Key Takeaways: Choose the Right Time for Your Audience There is no universal best day or time to host a live event. Look at your specific audience and test different timings to find when they are most likely to be available and engaged. Give People a Reason to Show Up Live Providing something in advance, such as a workbook, and offering a bonus that is only available during the live session can increase the perceived value of attending and encourage people to make the commitment. Use Reminders and Personal Connection People are busy and often need more reminders than you think. Send reminders at key times, such as 24 hours before, one hour before, and right as the event starts. When possible, add a personal touch through communities or direct messages to encourage people to attend.

Most men do not lose their marriage in one big blowup. They lose it slowly, by being in the house but not actually in the room. In this episode, Chris Anderson sits down with Thomas Edwards Jr, founder of The Professional Wingman and author of The One Up Effect: Gamify Your Life to Win and Have Fun Playing, to talk about why so many high performing men feel like a stranger in their own home, and what it takes to come back. Thomas built a career the media called the real life Hitch, with more than 400 marriages and engagements to his name, features in The Wall Street Journal and People magazine, and appearances on The Steve Harvey Show and ABC Nightline. Then he imploded. Drugs, alcohol, a business falling apart, and a marriage on the edge. He got sober on January 14, 2019, rebuilt from the ground up, and just celebrated 12 years of marriage. In this episode: Why disconnection in your marriage usually starts as disconnection from yourself The four worlds of purpose, play, passion, and performance, and why most men live in only one Emotional awareness, emotional literacy, and emotional intelligence explained in plain language Why anger is often the only word men have for sadness, and how to get more words What to share with your wife, what to take somewhere else, and how to say "I need time to process" Why having emotions is not weakness, but letting emotions drive your behavior is The thermometer principle: stop reacting to the room and start setting the temperature How to acknowledge what your wife is feeling without trying to fix it Why work life balance is a lie, and what harmony and one identity look like instead The case for play, fun, and things to look forward to, including video games without the guilt Are you playing your game of life, or running someone else's program Thomas closes with the story of the night he cried out for help, and the promise he has carried ever since.

Joe Rose and Omar Kelly discuss how NFL locker rooms have changed over the years, with Joe reflecting on the camaraderie and accountability that defined his Dolphins teams compared to today's league, where frequent roster turnover and massive contracts can make it harder to build chemistry. The guys debate whether showing up late should ever be tolerated in an NFL locker room, using Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey as examples of players who repeatedly arrived late during their time in Miami. They discuss how those habits impacted the team's culture and why establishing accountability is one of the biggest challenges for any coaching staff.

Send us Fan MailOne train for a stadium show sounds like a joke until you're the one trying to get to Gillette. We're Sarashi and Ms DJ Panic, and we're done pretending the fan experience is effortless when the logistics clearly aren't. We talk through the stress points that hit fans hardest: transportation plans that don't match the crowd size, traffic nightmares, limited nearby hotels, and the way vague venue updates force everyone into backup plans like carpooling and tailgating just to protect the night.Merch adds another layer. When pickup details and pop-up news are uncertain, it's easy to spiral, but we keep pulling ourselves back to the core truth: merch is secondary to seeing the artists live. We also get real about concert anxiety and what it takes to be okay in massive crowds, especially when public transit feels like extra pressure. If you've ever had to mentally rehearse a concert day just to make it enjoyable, you'll feel seen here.Then we shift into BTS “Normal” and go scene by scene on why it hits so hard. The video looks glamorous, but it keeps revealing isolation, scrutiny, and the aftermath of a life everyone thinks they understand. We connect the symbolism to fan expectations, media treatment, and the uncomfortable reality of growing up in public. We also say what needs saying about surprise songs: nobody is owed a specific track, and entitlement kills the fun. We end with a serious reminder that applies to every stadium concert: hydrate, bring electrolytes if you can, use the bathroom, and don't risk your health for a spot.Subscribe for more Music Elixir, share this with your concert crew, and leave a review with your own survival tips.

A Conversation with Sifu Stephe WatsonWhat happens when cancer comes back?For many people, the return of a serious illness creates fear, uncertainty, and a desperate search for answers. But martial artist and teacher Sifu Stephe Watson approaches the challenge differently.In this episode, Sensei Nick sits down with Stephe to discuss how decades of martial arts training have helped him navigate a recurring cancer diagnosis—not by focusing on the outcome, but by focusing on the discipline of today.Together they explore purpose, daily practice, resilience, teaching, and the powerful realization that while we cannot control every circumstance, we can control how we respond.Topics include:How martial arts helps during major health challengesThe difference between discipline and motivationWhy daily habits matter more than outcomesAdapting training when health changesLearning through setbacks and limitationsThe role of purpose during difficult timesBeing a student, even in a hospital settingWhy Stephe strives to be "the best patient" every medical professional encountersLiving according to your values before a crisis arrivesThe importance of focusing on what you can controlOne of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is that discipline is not about guaranteeing success. It is about showing up every day and doing what is within your power, regardless of the scoreboard.As Stephe explains, we do not always control the outcome—but we always have a choice in how we live today.Connect with Sensei Nick:Email: tabersmartialarts@gmail.comWhat challenge are you facing right now?

What has made this moment feel different is not the anxiety about incivility, which has always been there, but rather the performance of it. It's relentless.” — Molly Brady on incivility in the age of the smartphone Whatever happened to the American front porch? Builders killed it to save money, says the Harvard law professor Molly Brady — and with this death went one of the key stages on which Americans have practiced the art of being neighbors over the last 250 years. Brady is a contributor to America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, a new volume of 62 essays from the Harvard Law School faculty edited by Alexandra Natapoff. Brady's subject is the land, real-estate and local government law determining neighborliness. Thus her interest in front porches. Brady grew up in Utica, New York — on the old Erie Canal — a Rust Belt town whose fracking fights, abandoned housing, and urban renewal steered her toward property law. Utica is also, despite its red politics, a place well versed in the art of neighborliness — with the town warmly welcoming recent Bosnian and Iraqi refugees. Incivility isn't new, Brady says. What's changed, she argues, is its performative virality. With a phone in every pocket, we can now watch our fellow “citizens” behaving badly. Meanwhile the physical infrastructure of community — the front porches and corner stores — has been zoned, sprawled, and value-engineered away. Analogue porches have been replaced by digital chatrooms. Brady's remedy is unfashionably local. On Zoom or in person, she advises, show up at your local planning meetings. Brady even requires her Harvard students to attend at least one local meeting so as to demystify the real work of governance. The republic, as Ben Franklin so famously warned, is ours if we can keep it. Keeping it, Molly Brady suggests, may require in-person attendance on a Wednesday night at your local planning commission. And it might also require hanging out on your porch. If the builders ever give them back to us. Five Takeaways • The Performance of Incivility. Americans have always fretted about incivility — the republic itself was born out of Europe's religious civil wars. What has changed, Brady argues, is technology. When difference was mediated through traditional publishers, you had to grapple with the people in your physical world: the workplace, the water cooler, the town meeting. Now everyone carries a phone on which fellow citizens can be found behaving horribly at any given moment. It is not the presence of incivility that makes this moment feel different — it is the relentless performance of it.• The Death of the Porch. Brady writes in the tradition of Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone, updated for the post-smartphone age: suburbanization, the loss of third places, remote work — and a thousand micro-choices in property law that removed the physical alternatives to online life. Builders dropped the front porch to save money; developers in the South and West build almost nothing outside homeowners associations, so there is no meaningful market choice. People are human — they yearn for connection — but in the absence of physical competition, technological community wins by default.• Tocqueville's Scalability Problem. What Tocqueville admired in New England — every citizen (nominally) arguing policy with neighbors at the town meeting — may never have been scalable to a continental republic, a question America has been grappling with since the Louisiana Purchase. But the local still scrambles our politics in useful ways: party preference, as the scholar David Schleicher observes, tells you nothing about road paving. The darker local truth is Bill Fischel's homevoter hypothesis — homeowners dominate participation and vote to maximize home values, which has helped produce the national affordability crisis.• Glimmers: Zoom, Newton, and Showing Up. The shift to Zoom planning meetings completely changed the demographics of who participates in land use decisions — young parents cannot spend Wednesday from seven to midnight debating a corner store. Newton has produced genuinely pro-housing policies; Cambridge ran a charter commission that drew in residents of every kind; groups like Abundant Homes Massachusetts organize contingents to make sure meetings are not left to the usual voices. Brady requires her students to attend at least one local meeting. The lesson: do not think this is for someone else.• 2076: Best Case, Worst Case. Asked to imagine America's 300th birthday, Brady hopes for less polarization and demonization, and for a real confrontation of the housing and environmental crises — collective work that might itself rebuild the habit of cooperation. The worst case runs through Margaret Atwood and civil war scenarios to environmental degradation and lives lost to our incapacity to work together. The warning signs are already banal: middle-aged men now pay consultants to teach them how to make friends. The skills have atrophied — and local participation, Brady suggests, is the gym where a republic gets them back. About the Guest Molly Brady is a professor of law at Harvard Law School, where she teaches property, land use, and local government law. Raised in Utica, New York, she is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, and her scholarship on the history of American property law has won wide recognition, as has her teaching. She lives in Belmont, Massachusetts, and is a contributor to America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, edited by Alexandra Natapoff and Guy-Uriel E. Charles (MIT Press, July 2026).

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Jon Gustin is the founder of Tired Dad, a community of more than 2 million followers built on one honest premise: parenting is only hard for good parents. A former personal trainer of 14 years who started making short videos during the sleepless newborn stretch of 2020, he became one of the first men online talking openly about the mental load of fatherhood. He co-hosts the Tired Dad and Tired Mom podcasts with his wife Jessica and released his book The Tired Dad: 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most in May. Larry and Jon get into the exhaustion that comes from doing the work right, both of their fathers coming home from Vietnam unable to talk about it, the rebellion and loss that followed Jon's parents' divorce, and the ego death that pulled his marriage out of the roommate phase. If you're tired in the best way possible and still wondering whether you're doing a good job, this conversation is for you. Timeline Summary [1:02] – Parenting is only hard for good parents, and why tired means invested [3:19] – Tired from parenting, not tired of parenting [6:23] – How the newborn stretch of 2020 accidentally birthed Tired Dad [8:10] – Nobody was talking about the mental load of fatherhood, so Jon did [12:16] – The Justin Gustin problem and Larry's own Hagman mixup [13:29] – Full introduction: 2 million followers, two podcasts, and the book [16:54] – Growing up the baby of the family with siblings seven and eight years older [20:18] – A Vietnam veteran father, a World War Two grandfather, and night terrors that never left [21:55] – Watching your dad go from Superman to human during the divorce [26:38] – Running from it: partying, drugs, theft, and total chaos at 14 [28:26] – Losing friends to overdoses and deciding to get out [29:48] – Moving to Tennessee, meeting Jessica, and marrying 11 months later [34:08] – The Gottman research and why only 12% of marriages truly thrive [36:27] – Marry the right person for the right reasons, because marriage fixes nothing [37:59] – Postpartum, the roommate phase, and the darkest stretch of their marriage [40:56] – Killing the ego and why keeping score breeds resentment [43:48] – Getting sober three and a half years ago and what changed [46:42] – Ego death without becoming a doormat or a nice guy [48:55] – Eliminate the guessing and learn what your wife actually needs [52:42] – Inside the book: the weight fathers carry and the mantra to keep showing up [54:47] – Wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor versus being the healed version of you [57:18] – Legacy, being a home worth coming back to, and the 3am call 5 Key Takeaways Tired Means You're Doing It Right — If parenting feels hard and exhausting, that's evidence you care enough to invest in it. You're tired from the work, not of it. Marriage Fixes Nothing — Your partner isn't responsible for healing your wounds and you aren't responsible for healing theirs. Two people can both do their own work and build something great, but expecting rescue guarantees misery. The Ego Is a Heavy Backpack — Keeping score is the breeding ground for resentment. Dropping the ego means asking how you can help the situation, not tallying what you're not getting. Ego Death Is Not Becoming a Doormat — Killing the ego doesn't mean happy wife, happy life, or becoming a yes man. It means eliminating the guessing, expressing your own needs clearly, and understanding hers. Be the Healed Version, Not the Broken One — Carrying exhaustion proudly while running on empty leaves you injured at the end of the road. The goal is showing up tired but well, in shape for the job.

This week, I'm observing my behaviour around my garden - how I seem to get lost in how to keep showing up to it after the big push of landscaping... and how this is mirrored in many ways as I navigate settledness as a TCK. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Grant Cardone sits down with Derek Anderssen from Startup Grind for a raw conversation on success, ambition, and what it really takes to build at scale. Grant breaks down why showing up beats waiting for luck, how the environment shapes your thinking, why he still thinks bigger, and how private jets, yachts, business, faith, and failure all connect to one bigger lesson: create more, own who you are, and never shrink your goals.
Episode 80 - Body, Mind and Self: Why Integration Is the Missing Piece in Finding Your VoiceIn this solo episode of Be Truly Heard, host Anne Leatherland brings her current series to a close by drawing everything together - the guests, the themes and the framework that sits at the heart of all her work.Anne introduces her Vocal Intuition Framework in detail for the first time, walking through the three elements she believes every speaker needs to integrate - body, mind balance and self activation - and explaining what goes wrong when any one of them is missing. Key TakeawaysVoice work that focuses on only one thing will always fall short.Technique without self activation produces skilled but hollow delivery. Confidence without vocal skill lacks authority. Inner belief without mind balance sends speakers off on unregulated tangents.The voice in the head speaks around 1,200 times a day - and most of it is negative.Mind balance is not about silencing that voice but about knowing which parts to listen to and which to reframe. The positive messages are there - they are just easily overlooked.Integration is what allows you to stop performing confidence and simply have it.When body, mind and self are working together, you are no longer monitoring yourself constantly. Your voice reflects your capability in a way that people immediately respond to differently.Vocal skills can be learned - and most people do not realise that.There is a significant difference between the voice someone uses every day and the voice of a professional voice user. That gap can be closed with the right technique.Key Moments"Just be yourself isn't enough if you tend to be someone who gets very nervous about speaking.""If you have skills and mind balance but no self activation, it doesn't resonate.”"You're not trying to sound confident anymore. You just are.""Your voice starts working for you in your business - that is when opportunities open."About Be Truly HeardBe Truly Heard is the podcast for women in business who want to speak with authority, warmth and authenticity. Hosted by Anne Leatherland, coach and voice expert, each episode explores vocal skills and personal growth strategies to help listeners overcome confidence barriers and communicate what is inside.Because your voice matters.

Every runner has a starting line that didn't look like a starting line. For Lilia Martinez, hers looked like a dance floor. Ballet first, then tap, then jazz, the thing that finally stuck because it gave her room to move without a script. Running wasn't the plan. It showed up later, the way a lot of meaningful things do, in the form of a New Year's resolution with roommates and a half marathon she signed up for without fully understanding what she'd agreed to.That's basically the whole theme of this one. Saying yes before you feel ready. Lilia talks about training through the Nike Run Club app, learning the sport from scratch with a coach on the other side of a screen in Mexico, and slowly building the kind of belief that doesn't stay contained to running. That belief turned outward into El Barrio Running, the community she co-founded in New York City two years ago that's grown from six runners to fifty showing up most Saturdays.We get into structure versus freedom, dancer versus runner, and the imposter syndrome that convinces so many people to add a qualifier to their own accomplishments. I run, but I'm slow. I run, but I've never done a marathon. Lilia's answer to all of it: maybe the run doesn't need a qualifier. Maybe showing up is the whole point.CHECK OUT LILIA@liliamas_@elbarriorunningSend us a messageMy book This Is About Running.

What if God is less concerned with your presentation and more concerned with your preparation?In this episode of Impact Over Influence, we explore the biblical difference between showing up and showing out. Through the lives of David, Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3, and Peter's call to humility, we discover that God strengthens the hidden places before He ever expands our public influence.David wasn't qualified by a stage, he was formed in the pasture! Read that AGAIN! David wasn't qualified by a stage, he was formed in the pasture! While everyone else focused on the size of Goliath, David focused on the greatness of God. His courage wasn't born on the battlefield; it was cultivated in private.Together we'll ask:What area of your life needs to be strengthened in your inner being?Are your daily priorities rooted and grounded in love?Have you been relying more on fleshly preparation than spiritual resilience?What has God already prepared you to do that hesitation has kept you from stepping into?We'll also unpack Paul's powerful prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21, discovering why deep roots always come before lasting fruit and why true Kingdom influence begins with humility, hidden faithfulness, and complete dependence on Christ.If you've ever wrestled with comparison, fear of failure, or the pressure to impress, this conversation is an invitation to stop striving for recognition and simply surrender to obedience.Show up. Stay rooted. Let God handle the outcome.
Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader, Mark sits down with Amanda Martin, President and CEO of the Illinois Ag Leadership Foundation (IALF), for a conversation about leadership development, community impact, education, and preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders.Amanda defines intentional leadership simply:Showing up with purpose.Whether it's following through on commitments, leading through service, making thoughtful decisions, or understanding how your actions impact others, intentional leadership begins with being deliberate about how you show up every day.At the Illinois Ag Leadership Foundation, that philosophy comes to life through a two-year leadership development program that brings together leaders from every corner of agriculture—from row crop producers and agribusiness professionals to urban agriculture advocates and policy leaders.A major theme throughout the conversation is this:Leadership grows when people leave their bubble.One of the unique strengths of the program is its diversity of perspectives. Participants may come from completely different sectors of agriculture, but they share a common goal: helping strengthen their communities, their industry, and the future of food and agriculture.As Amanda explains, many of the challenges facing agriculture today aren't solved by staying in silos.They're solved by bringing people together.The conversation explores the growing importance of bridging the urban-rural divide, especially in states like Illinois where agriculture and large population centers coexist side by side.Amanda believes leaders have a responsibility to listen, understand different perspectives, and find common ground.Because despite different backgrounds, most people want the same things:Strong communitiesSafe foodOpportunity for future generationsA better future for their familiesAnother major topic is leadership development in a rapidly changing world.Technology is evolving.AI is reshaping how people learn and work.Career paths are becoming less traditional.And leadership development must evolve alongside it.Amanda shares why she believes there are many pathways to success today—not just a traditional four-year degree. Whether through college, technical programs, certifications, apprenticeships, or leadership experiences, the goal remains the same:Continue growing. Continue learning. Continue expanding your perspective.The conversation also dives into one of the most important leadership skills of the future:Having difficult conversations.Amanda works closely with fellows on how to navigate disagreement, communicate with empathy, and lead productive conversations even when perspectives differ.One lesson she shares stands out:The goal isn't to win the conversation.The goal is to move things forward.In an increasingly divided world, that mindset may be more important than ever.The discussion also explores trust, networking, policy, and the future of agriculture.As food systems become more complex and global challenges continue to evolve, Amanda believes leaders must be prepared to think beyond their own operation, organization, or community.They must understand the larger ecosystem.Because agriculture doesn't operate in isolation.Policy affects production.Technology affects markets.Global events affect local communities.Everything is connected.The episode closes with a challenge for every listener:Invest in your leadership.Whether through formal programs, mentorship, community involvement, or personal development, leadership doesn't happen by accident.It happens when people choose to step forward.Because the future of agriculture won't be built by spectators.It will be built by leaders who are willing to show up.Listen if you are:Developing leaders within your organizationInterested in the future of agricultural leadershipNavigating change in education or workforce developmentLooking to improve communication and leadership skillsPassionate about building stronger communitiesCommitted to growing your leadership influenceKey TakeawayThe best leaders don't just show up. They show up intentionally—and create space for others to grow alongside them.

We recorded this a few weeks before Allan died. He was both a comedian and a Baptist minister. His comedic peak was being seen by millions on Britain's Got Talent, in which Simon Cowell said he was the best audition of the series.Allan served Jesus for 42 years at the church where he came to faith, 20 of those years as pastor. It was on a tough patch, where arson, theft and smashed windows were commonplace - but amidst the mess and carnage, broken lives were being beautifully restored.This interview is holy ground as Allan reflects on life and death. He managed to release his autobiography a few months before graduating to glory, which is called ‘I didn't ask for any of this - church, comedy and cancer'. ▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vrbDCUjcMk4If anyone wants to make a gift to his wife Joyce, contact me directly at inspired@greatlakesoutreach.orgWatch him on Britain's Got Talent here.---
How can art serve as an act of resistance? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Jamila Ponton Bragg, founder of JamRock Productions and a leader named to the Broadway Women's Fund "Women to Watch" list. After 20 years in the nonprofit world, Jamila pivoted to theater, co-producing hits like Passover (2021), Death of a Salesman (2022), Tony Nominated Best Play Fat Ham (2023), The Whiz (2024), Gypsy (2024) and Soul Train (2025). A proud African American woman, Jamila is on a mission to ensure women's stories have depth and aren't confined to tropes. She shares how she stayed true to her values while navigating the high-stakes world of Broadway. She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Art is Resistance. In a world that often marginalizes women of color, telling our stories is a powerful way to fight back. •Trust Your Instincts. Surround yourself with "your people"—those whose values and tastes align with your mission. •The Power of Showing Up. Leadership isn't always big gestures; it's the follow-up email, the check-in, and being present for others. •Find Your Mentors. Don't be afraid to send that "cold email." People are often more willing to help than you think. •Keep Your Message Consistent. Reliability and a clear mission build the trust needed to fundraise and lead through tough climates. Jamila's story is a reminder that when we stand in our identity and support one another, we can change the narrative on the world's biggest stages.

In this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore the quiet power of simply being present. Not the grand gestures or the public moments — but the small, consistent choices that define who we truly are. From a hospital cleaner who takes pride in her work to a neighbor who sits with you in silence when you're struggling, we discover that real strength isn't loud. It's the person who keeps going when nobody's watching. Learn why showing up — really showing up — is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and the people around you.
The men who show up in your life are not random. They are a direct reflection of the masculine template you carry within. This is the conversation I got to have with Khethiwe Rudd—High Priestess, Destiny Guide, and devoted student of the Mysteries—whose own healing journey led her to an unexpected realization: the relationship we have with the masculine isn't just reflected in the men we attract, but in the way we receive support, hold boundaries, work with money, speak our truth, and move through the world. What emerged was a deeply honest conversation about healing the inner masculine—not as a way of becoming more masculine ourselves, but as a way of creating safety within. We talk about father wounds, choosing yourself even when it breaks your heart, why so many women struggle receiving support, and how healing our relationship with the masculine creates a ripple effect through every area of our lives. Above all, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that as we transform the relationship within, the relationships around us begin to transform too. Topics include: What the inner masculine really is—and what it isn't Father wounds, patriarchy, and the masculine template we all carry Why healing your inner masculine changes your relationships with men Choosing yourself after codependency and enmeshment Boundaries, truth-telling, and finding your voice The connection between the masculine, money, and receiving support Structure, discipline, and creating safety from within How healing the masculine allows the feminine to fully flourish Recognizing the difference between wounded and healthy masculine energy Why the relationship you're longing for begins inside you LOVE THIS PODCAST?

What if the most important work of parenting isn't about your child at all... but about understanding yourself?Dr. Dan Siegel is a Harvard-trained clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA, a neuroscientist, and one of the leading voices helping us understand how relationships shape the developing mind. He has authored over 20 books, five of them New York Times bestsellers, including co-authoring The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline. Trained as a developmental attachment researcher through the National Institute of Mental Health, Dan has spent more than 40 years studying how the adults who care for children influence who those children become. And his interest isn't only academic. Dan describes his own childhood as decidedly non-optimal... a father who was intrusive and at times terrifying, a mother who was emotionally distant. He carried every non-secure attachment stance into adulthood, and earned security later in life, with the help of a therapist who finally saw him.What he found over those four decades reframes how we think about raising kids. The research is remarkably clear: how a parent has made sense of their own childhood, assessed before their baby is even born, predicts how that child will attach. Children don't need perfect parents. They need three things... to be seen, to be soothed, and to be safe. When those are reliably present, a fourth emerges: security. And when we inevitably blow it, because every parent does, what matters most is the repair. As Dan puts it, there's no such thing as perfect parenting. There's just being present.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Dan walks through the science of attachment and why the pop-culture version on social media is quoting a different field entirely, the myth that a mother should be able to do it all alone when children are wired for a village, and the daily Wheel of Awareness practice he uses to start every morning. The two also explore loneliness as the experience of a “partial mind,” the shift from a threat mindset to a challenge mindset that protects against burnout, and what it means to keep the “me” while belonging to a “we.” And Mike opens up about the moment his son was born, when he and his wife wrote down their first principles as parents and landed on two words: kindness and strength.In this conversation, we explore:Why there's no such thing as perfect parenting, only being presentThe four S's every child needs: seen, soothed, safe, and secureHow your own childhood story quietly shapes the way you parentWhy repair after a rupture matters more than never rupturing at allThe myth of the lone parent, and why children are wired for a villageWhy loneliness may be the experience of a partial mindThe daily Wheel of Awareness practice Dan has done with 77,000 peopleHow shifting from a threat mindset to a challenge mindset protects against burnoutIf you've ever lost your cool with your kids and worried you've done lasting damage, this conversation offers a hopeful, science-backed way to repair... and grow._____________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XDr. Dan Siegel's Books: The Whole-Brain Child, No-Drama Discipline, Parenting from the Inside Out, The Power of Showing Up, Aware, and Becoming AwareSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
