Hell Love A Ride

On this episode of Hell Love a Ride, it is a family affair with Drs. Brandi and Joe’s sons JoJo and Carter along for the ride.  Little Carter first expressing nervousness, while JoJo is excited, parents Dr. Joe and Brandi take time to check in and validate their feelings before diving into the complexities of emotions and the importance of communication. The family opens up about cloudy and anxious feelings and how guilt can vary depending on the situation. They discuss the distinctions between sensations in the body, feelings, and thoughts. Physical reactions such as tension and crying are explored. Intergenerational conversations are a valuable feature of this episode as the Dr. parent’s reflects on the intimidating nature of certain topics. They appreciate their child's guidance without fear of consequences. Carter and JoJo pose thoughtful questions about where babies come from, how to respond when something bad happens, and when they can change their bedtime. Dr. Brandi and Dr. Joe thoughtfully answer their questions introducing proper terms for the anatomy and inviting their children to think critically about their desires and feelings. We advise our audience to buckle up as we prepare for a dynamic discussion between parents and children.
