Episode notes

I think we tend to only think of grief as being this thing that you feel when someone dies or something ends. There's actually a term for it that psychologists now have disenfranchised griefs. It took me a really long time to understand that it had been for me as profound as losing a mother at an early age. I'm happy to say I always had the sense that I wasn't going to repeat that mistake. And my kids would tell you that I haven't.

On this weekend episode of the Daily Dad, Ryan speaks with Susan Cain about parental relationships, not just with their children but their own parents and how past grievances can influence your role as a guardian.

Susan Cain is a long time friend of Ryan, she also is the author of the bestsellers “Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverted Kids,” and “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can't Stop Talking,” which is in its eighth year on The New York Times bestseller list and was named the best book of 2012 by Fast Company.
