In this powerful episode of Deepish Conversations, host Brian Pierce sits down with Pat Barber from The Fathers Guild to discuss a struggle many parents face: managing emotions and not yelling at our kids.

The conversation goes beyond simple parenting tips, diving into the core of what it means to be an emotionally healthy parent today. We explore how our own emotional well-being impacts our families, different parenting dynamics, and the surprising power of journaling and self-reflection as tools for growth.

Pat shares the powerful insight that "yelling is for you, not for them," and explains how a "paradigm shift takes a weekend" to create real change. This episode is essential listening for any parent who wants to become more emotionally resilient and present for their family.

Topics covered:

• Managing parental emotions and triggers
• Understanding different parent-child relationship dynamics
• The role of journaling in personal growth
• Creating space for meaningful self-reflection
