Ryan is the co-founder of One Big Happy Home and the host of the Empowered Parent podcast, which is closing in on 200 episodes! One Big Happy Home equips churches, organizations, and parents with the tools they need to support kids from hard places. Side note, Ryan is absolutely hilarious—so be prepared for some laughs (and maybe a few coughs). In this episode, Ryan shares his passion for trauma-informed care and explains why it's not just about helping kids at home, but also in schools, churches, and every environment they enter. The importance of consistency, how One Big Happy Home is making an impact through courses and training, and why churches play a crucial role in supporting families are just some of the topics covered. Listen in to hear his wisdom, insights, and maybe even a coffee-stained book recommendation!
