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).

I first got introduced to Ken Wilber when I was in grad school. The guy’s mind is insanely brilliant.

He takes a lot of maps of human development and consciousness and weaves them together in what he calls integral theory.

My guest on this week’s podcast is Keith Witt.

He’s worked with Ken for years.  We dig into Relationships of course, but from an integral lens.

I ask him about the common relationship dynamic where one person claims they are more “developed” than the other

What do we do? Interesting answers to come.

Check it out.

If you or someone you love suffers from PTSD check this out.  

According to the American Psychiatric Association, PTSD can be a disabling condition that impacts about 3.5 percent of U.S. adults. And women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD.

Eeek. 

Trauma is everywhere and I think most of us have experienced it at some point in our lives. 

That’s why I like to interview folks on the subject. 

My friend Arielle goes deep in this episode and defines both trauma and PTSD.
