Fatherhood with comedian Adam Cayton-Holland

For anyone who has been parented, is a parent or dreams of being a parent, Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan teaches us all how to make the world a more loving, accepting and compassionate place -- one parent, one person and one child at a time. Every episode features a “Sitting Down with Dr. Dan” segment to help listeners discover ways to be the best version of themselves. With more than 25 years of experience as a psychologist, author and father, Dr. Dan Peters understands the key to raising happy and aware kids is for parents to seek the same joy and mindfulness in their own lives.

BONUS EPISODE #34: Sitting Down with Dr. Dan – Listener Questions about imaginative play, when teens close their doors, #TeacherTok, and more

Today Dr. Dan interviews Elise Loehnen – author of the instant New York Times Bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and The Price Women Pay to Be Good, host of the popular podcast Pulling The Thread, and frequent contributor to Oprah.  
Elise’s work and writing explores the ways the patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness. Her Pulling the Thread podcast focuses on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together.  
On this episode Dr. Dan and Elise discuss how with awareness, we can begin to recognize patterns of self-restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance. This paradigm-shifting interview is a special episode listeners will turn to again and again.
Elise Loehnen lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons. Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, braiding together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we’re here.
