Alex and Shane chat their first forays into the real world, a new self-diagnosis, and the potential benefits of something seemingly going wrong. 

 

Chazz Lewis, a parent coach and creator (@mrchazzmrchazz on TikTok), discusses breaking generational cycles, the stages of empathy, and moving from punitive to positive parenting.

 

Psychotherapist Jessica Warnock joins for an illuminating conversation on parenting with mental health concerns. She discusses what causes blocks in parenting, what that may look like from person to person, and how to cope.

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like Botox, separation anxiety, weird coworker stories, the possibility that there will be no more sperm by 2045, and Norway's decision to make it illegal to not declare photo retouching in ads!
