Episode 67 - The Parentologist: Raising Kids Becomes the Deepest Inner Work — with Kerry Stutzman
Becoming a parent forces you to face everything you got, everything you didn't, and every pattern you swore you'd never repeat. In this episode, Matt sits down with Kerry Stutzman , a therapist who calls herself a "parentologist," to explore how raising kids becomes some of the deepest inner work there is. They talk about tending the garden of a family instead of just mowing the weeds, living imperfectly with great delight, and the questions that help teenagers and parents alike name what wants to come more fully alive. It's a warm, practical look at healing patterns, protecting kids through hard transitions, and growing up alongside the people we raise. Kerry is a licensed marriage and family therapist, keynote speaker, clinical supervisor, and expert witness with 25 years of teaching parents. Alongside her son Palmer, she helps families safeguard children's mental health through divorce, blending clinical expertise with hard-won personal experience. If it speaks to you, follow the show and pass it along to a parent doing the work. New episodes every two weeks.
