The Modern Dads Podcast

ThirdPath Institute Founder Jessica Degroot joins us to talk about making time for work, family, and play. We discuss "The New Normal" where dads AND moms are thinking creatively to find ways to be successful in our careers, to be the parents we want to be, and to find time for ourselves. We also talk about the upcoming season of Thursdays with Thirdpath, a monthly webinar series that will focus on men's stories to demonstrate an integrated approach to work and life.

 

The Parents Phrase Book author Whit Honea joins after the discussion to talk about the ways he and his wife continue to negotiate these issues as they both pursue meaningful careers and parent their two boys.

Author Michelle Icard joins us to talk about a time in our kids' lives that many parents dread, middle school. She tells us that these years can be fun and exciting if we leave the baggage from our own middle school years at the door and modify our parenting style as our kids mature. We also talk helping our kids respond to "mean" kids and the social media tools that can we can embrace with our kids. 
 
The Parents Phrase Book author Whit Honea also joins us to talk about his son's transition from elementary school to middle school and the realization that his son may be ready, but he's not!
