It's Episode 3 of the ETC Podcast and our guests are Emmelie Pickett and Lisa Qualls, co-authors with the late Dr. Karyn Purvis of the new book "The Connected Parent." In this episode JD and Tona talk about The Connected Parent book, but we also dive deep into the story behind the book - how Emmelie, Lisa and Dr. Purvis' lives intersected and what motivated each of them to conquer some major obstacles to bring the book into the world. 

You'll also hear our conversation on attachment, our pasts and the need for self care routines for parents (and a story or two of what that looks like for dads as well). Emmelie talks about the work of The Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development in school districts and the judicial system and the free TBRI classes being offered right now!Lastly, Lisa and Emmelie were kind enough to give 5 books away to our audience, so make sure to tune in all the way through this episode for details on how you can win a copy of The Connected Parent!
