    When Self-Help Becomes Harmful: Why You Should Stop Trying to Heal All Your Trauma Jun 06, 2026
    Show notes

    I've spent over a decade in the self-development space, and somewhere along the way, I began to see a pattern: the more people focus on healing, the more their lives start to revolve around what's wrong. More analyzing, more processing, more regulating and less living, less connecting, less being.

    So in this episode, I want to talk about something that might feel uncomfortable, even controversial: there comes a point when trying to heal all your trauma can actually keep you stuck and why you may need to stop, or at least do it very differently.

    Rethinking Modern Fatherhood, Mental Health, and Masculinity May 22, 2026
    Show notes

    Kevin Maguire, author of The New Fatherhood, about what is shifting inside modern fatherhood and why so many men are trying to parent differently than they were parented themselves. Did you know that dads can experience postpartum depression too? We talk about the move from "protect, provide, preside" to something more emotionally present and engaged, and what it actually takes to stay connected when things feel overwhelming. We explore anger and emotional regulation, the challenge many fathers experience around vulnerability and play, and the identity shift that happens when a man becomes a parent.

    The Mental Load of Fatherhood and Why Anger Isn't a Superpower May 14, 2026
    Show notes

    Jon Gustin from Tired Dad on what it really means to show up as a father not perfectly, but intentionally, how to keep the bigger picture front and center when you're exhausted, triggered, and pulled in a hundred directions… and why the real work of parenting starts within.

    Also, why anger it's not a superpower, even though so many men have been taught that it is. And much more.

    The Dopamine Crisis in Kids: Why Screen Time Advice Isn't Working for Your Child May 01, 2026
    Show notes

    Screens—and managing them—have become one of the biggest daily struggles for parents today.

    In today's episode, I'm joined by Michaeleen Doucleff, author of Dopamine Kids, and this conversation felt both grounding and eye-opening. Like so many of us, she found herself struggling with screens and ultra-processed foods in her own homeand instead of blaming or restricting harder, she got curious about what's really going on underneath.

    We talk about what dopamine actually isand the myths we've gotten wrong. Why the pull toward scrolling and "easy" rewards is so powerful, and what it really means to help kids (and ourselves) do hard things. She introduces her model for understanding what she calls "dopamine magnets," how to curate the cues in our environment, and why resistance alone doesn't work.

    The Loneliness of Parenting: Why You Can't Do It Alone Apr 21, 2026
    Show notes

    Dr. Debbie Raphael on the significance of social connection—friendships, community, and creating your village.

    Connection isn't a luxury—it's a lifeline. It's one of the most powerful antidotes we have to stress, burnout, and loneliness. And yet, it's often the very thing that gets pushed to the bottom of our list when life feels overwhelming.

    So as you listen, I want to leave you with this question:

    What is one small step you can take today to strengthen an existing connection—or create a new one?

    Generosity, Happiness & the Reality of Uneven Friendships Mar 26, 2026
    Show notes

    We hear a lot these days about boundaries, self-care, and protecting our energy. But what about generosity?

    In this episode, Kristy Lauricella and I explore generosity—what it means, how it shows up in everyday life, and why noticing it can quietly transform how we experience the world. We discuss generosity as a mindset, not just big acts of giving; how to receive it from others; why acknowledging small acts of kindness matters; and the connection between generosity, gratitude, and happiness.
