Raising Good Humans

This week, join me in conversation with Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and the director of the longest-running study on happiness and well-being, to discuss the secrets to building a happy life and raising happy kids. Dr. Waldinger shares insights from the study and offers practical advice on how to cultivate strong relationships, find purpose and meaning in life, and create a positive environment for children to thrive in. This is an episode you won't want to miss as we dive into the science of happiness and learn how to apply it to our own lives and the lives of our children.

We’re back for part two with the Yale Child Study Center's Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz. Today we dive deep into the fine line between supporting our kids and over-accommodating their anxiety.

In today's episode I sit down with child and adolescent psychologist and director of the Yale Child Study Center's Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz. We dive into everything you need to know about anxiety in children. We explore what anxiety looks like—from everyday worries to more severe cases—and tackle the delicate balance between being a supportive parent and inadvertently accommodating a child’s fears. Using powerful metaphors, Dr. Lebowitz helps us understand how to recognize and respond to anxiety in ways that truly empower our kids.

In today's episode, Dr. Niobe Way- internationally recognized professor of developmental psychology and the founder of the Project for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity at NYU joins us for a conversation on boyhood, curiosity, and connection. We explore how boy culture is shaped by societal expectations and how we can redefine it for the better, and how to foster emotional growth and resilience in boys while challenging outdated norms. We also discuss how, in today’s world, raising kids with deep curiosity and connection is more important than ever, and how we can nurture meaningful relationships with our children and help them thrive in an increasingly disconnected world.
