On this week's episode we discuss the cannot miss upcoming book "Parent Nation" that Heidi has been working on, how to understand the drivers underneath the stress and anxiety of today's kids, how to find a good therapist for your kid, and more!
Today, we talk with Heidi's courageous friend, Deb, sharing some of the struggles she's experienced in her family, and offering brilliant advice on how we can react with kindness and empathy, and avoid unwittingly causing unnecessary emotional pain. ... more
Today, after a somewhat prolonged hiatus, Heidi and John are back. In the wake of the recent talk of banned books, they are are talking about the material: books, media, halftime shows, and Joe Rogans, that we might expose our kids to, and what we ke... more
Sen. Josh Hawley's recent comments about masculinity being under attack compelled us to put together our thoughts on this topic, especially amongst our youth. We talk porn, video games, Aaron Rodgers, and more!
The chit chat back and forth is entertaining but there is a seriousness to it also. Oftentimes what they have to say makes me rethink what I believe. I kinda wish I had this to listen to when my kids were growing up. At least they turned out to be great adults but maybe I could have done better.
I’ve followed Dr. Duffy for years. This collaboration with Heidi is timely, relevant and thought provoking. Love the balance, the realistic candor and the tangents. Look forward to it weekly. Loved your FAN event too. Heidi, your writing, ideas and bravery are a breath of fresh air.
Recently discovered Heidi’s writing and I love that I get to listen to her and John also.
John and Heidi make a great podcast team to provide thoughtful insights, laughs, and application to our lives as we navigate marriage, parenting, and friendships. The length and frequency is perfect and has already saved time and money from my future therapy needs.
I have been a fan of Heidi’s writing for years and am so excited for another chance to hear her wonderful perspective on the world. Love the first show and can’t wait for the next one!!!
