One of my mentors, Dan Siegel, is back on the podcast for his 3rd interview.

This time, we dive deep into attachment-based parenting. Dan’s work, which my wife and I study intently, is how I parent my own children. The cool thing about Dan is what a nerd he is around research-based approaches and information.

We cover the 4 S’s from his “Power of Showing Up” book. It’s so good.

Check it out and please apply this to your own parenting (if you are one).
