We all have a narrative that we tell ourselves, based on the things we learned growing up. This narrative often defines who we are and how we see ourselves.

This week, we?re sitting down with NYT Best-Selling Author and motivational speaker, Gabby Bernstein to talk about her latest book, ?Happy Days.? We talk through the practical steps we can take to shift our perspective to break away from the negative self-talk and how important it is for us to look at our past to face our future in parenthood with confidence and less reactivity.

This week, we?re talking to our friend, talented country music singer and songwriter, husband, and dad to two daughters, Brett Young. Brett recently wrote and published a children?s picture book titled, "Love You, Little Lady,? a heart-warming celebration of a father?s love inspired by the lyrics of his No. 1 hit single, ?Lady.? We talk about becoming a father, how it?s changed him as a man and artist, and all about his new kids book, ?Love You, Little Lady?. Stick around to the end, because Brett shares the most vulnerable and honest dad advice that all of us parents need to hear and the story behind his song ?Lady? that inspired this book. This episode will leave you inspired and smiling!

We are thrilled to have Allison LaTona as today?s guest. She is a mom to two teens, a psychotherapist, marriage and family therapist, and a parenting coach and educator with over 25 years of experience. She runs parenting groups, has her own private practice, is the co-author of Twigtale books which are customizable stories that help prepare your kids for big transitions, and has helped thousands of parents for over two decades. Today we are talking to her about managing sibling dynamics ? the sweet and not-so-sweet moments! She?s answering the questions we all have - how do we prepare our kids for a new sibling, how do we foster that good relationship between our kids so they grow up close with one another, and what do we do when they fight. We learned so, so much, and we know you will, too!     Thank you to our sponsors:

We?re back for part two on Ditching Diet Culture! We all want to be more conscious about how we talk about food and our bodies in front of our kids, but what do you do when someone in your kid?s life? a caregiver, family member, or friend? says or does something in front of your kid that is the opposite of how you want to parent? Today, we?re talking to Oona Hanson? a parent coach with 20 years of experience helping parents and caregivers raise kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their body. Oona shares her practical strategies for how and when to navigate these sensitive conversations, what to say when someone thinks your child needs to finish their plate before dessert, and what to do when someone?s commenting about their body in front of your kids.
