The words we say to our kids don’t just disappear. They become part of how our kids understand themselves, what they believe they deserve, and what they carry into the world. In today’s episode, Ryan talks with Jon Gustin, creator of The Tired Dad, about the small comments parents make without thinking, the messages kids hear underneath them, and how to create a home where they feel safe, secure, and fully themselves.

Jon Gustin is the founder of The Tired Dad LLC and the voice behind The Tired Dad, a movement built around showing up for what matters most. His book, The Tired Dad.: 100 Reflections on Showing Up for What Matters Most, is out now!
