      • Episode 12 with Ben Byfield
        Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. What people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity - Aaron Swartz
        Ben is a movement practitioner, teacher, an extremely curious human and a student of life but he is also a Dad.
        In this episode Ben shares profound wisdom and deep insights about growing up, life and fatherhood. From growing up as a single child with parents that provided experiences and opportunities to heading overseas by himself to experience life for himself, to what it means to be a Dad. It's all in this episode.
        There are many people who have book smarts but very few people actually practice what they preach and deeply embody who they say they are, Ben is one of these people. The greatest opportunity to truly Walk the Walk came when he became a father. Enjoy this episode with Ben Byfield.

      • Episode Ten with Stephanie Pinto
        Stephanie Pinto is an emotional intelligence parent and coach. Stephanie helps stressed out parents manage kids BIG emotions and behaviour to bring calm back into the home. Stephanie is a reformed shouty parent who transformed her own home life and now is on a mission helping other parents by combining Emotional Intelligence knowledge, 12+ years of work in the paediatric field, and new research available on neuroscience of children’s emotion and behaviour.
        I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Stephanie by speaking in her massive Facebook group Let's Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids which boasts 14000 members and have also been fortunate enough to have guest penned a blog for her website.
        The greatest transformative change happened when my wife an I undertook Stephanie's 8 week Chaos to Connection EQ course. Personally this was a course that stretched me not only as a parent but personally and has had a massive positive impact on our home life.
        Stephanie talks about what emotional intelligence is and how it can be so powerful not just for our kids but for parents. There is so much value here and it's the perfect episode if you are currently dealing with BIG emotions in your house.
        Stephanie is an absolute master at what she does and a someone who is truly operating in her gift.

      • Episode Nine with Cody Jarvis
        Cody Jarvis is an extremely humble Dad who had an extremely simple approach to his unique story, 'Show up and be all in.' Going from 0 kids to 3 was 'natural' for Cody, supported by his amazing partner Shenai, Cody was welcomed as part of the family with loving arms. His simple approach is a testament to the character of Cody and personally I have a huge amount of respect for him and his story.
        Cody's story hasn't been without its challenges both personally and in his relationship but this has allowed for perspective and to cherish being in the present moment. Cody shares some amazing wisdom through his approach to parenting and opens up beautifully about his experience.................... Please find and connect with me on Instagram @adadliftingdads
