On this powerful episode of the Happy Being Well Podcast, we sit down with Gary John Bishop, New York Times bestselling author of Unfu*k Yourself, to talk about his groundbreaking parenting book, "Grow Up: Becoming The Parents Your Kids Deserve".

In Grow Up, Gary turns his signature straight-talking, no-BS approach toward one of life’s biggest challenges: parenting. Instead of offering surface-level parenting hacks, tips, and techniques focused on “fixing” our kids, Gary argues that the real work starts with us.

We don’t need more strategies for managing our children.
We need to unlearn what’s been ingrained in us.

In this honest and empowering conversation, we discuss:

✨ Why most parenting books miss the point
✨ The unconscious patterns we bring into parenthood
✨ How to stop reacting and start leading
✨ Breaking generational cycles
✨ Becoming emotionally responsible adults for our children

If you’re a parent who craves straightforward, practical, and deeply transformative advice — this episode is for you.

Whether you’re raising toddlers, teens, or preparing for parenthood, this conversation will challenge you to grow, evolve, and become the grounded, self-aware parent your children truly deserve.
