Parenting in the Pause | #14
Manage episode 439130728 series 3579368
For today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host and former drummer of “Maroon 5” Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for a discussion on Parenting with Destini Ann Davis, Parenting Coach and Social Media Sensation.
Each of the three approaches the conversation from a different angle: Destini Ann as a single mother with ADHD, Duck as a Father of an 11-Year-Old Son, and Ryan without children, but who regularly works with parents as part of his therapy practice.
Their varied life experiences foster a fantastic discussion that covers immense ground in a short period of time. We’re lucky to quickly get a feel for Destini Ann’s remarkable and grounded approach as a parenting coach, and see how it works in real time as she helps Duck with some challenges that he’s been facing as a father. Add in a touch of Ryan’s professional insight into human behavior as a therapist, and you have a really effective, useful, and empowering conversation on what it means to be both a parent and a human being.
It’s easy to see why Destini Ann has found such success both as a coach and as an internet personality. She will immediately give you a sense of confidence in yourself, as well as a desire to improve, and create a better life for your “community” no matter what that looks like… and she certainly pulls that off yet again here on the “Harder to Breathe” Podcast.
