In today’s episode I am joined by Yale neuroscientist Dr. Dylan Gee for a fascinating look at what’s actually happening in our children’s brains when we offer support, warmth, and connection. We delve into the neurobiology and neurobiological mechanisms that underpin parent-child interactions, particularly focusing on emotional development. We also dive into the individual differences in children's needs, the concept of 'safety signals,' and the balance between parental support and fostering independence.

In today's episode I speak with activist Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, about her new book 'Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age'. Shannon shares her journey from corporate PR to leading a grassroots movement against gun violence and discusses how women can discover their core values, ignite personal and professional transformations, and find a sense of belonging. We talk about the importance of taking small, consistent actions, identifying personal values and abilities, and building supportive communities. This episode serves as a reminder that purpose is always evolving and to live authentically and audaciously at every stage of life.

In this episode, Tina and I discuss personal moments of our parenting missteps, explore instances where our reactions didn't align with my expertise and what we might have done differently. We discuss the benefits of imperfections, the power of repair, and the importance of modeling self-compassion for our children. Through our real-life anecdotes, we highlight the challenges and lessons learned from our experiences, and offer practical takeaways on setting boundaries, managing fear-based parenting, and the pivotal role of repair in maintaining strong, trusting relationships with our kids.
