  The 6 Dad Gaps: How Becoming a Better Father Makes You a Better Leader with Jeff Hittner Ep. 145

  Aug 29, 202628 min

  What if becoming a better father could actually make you a better leader? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Jeff Hittner, executive coach and founder of Ambitious Dads, to explore what happens when fathers stop seeing career and family as competing priorities and start recognizing fatherhood as one of the greatest leadership opportunities they have. After interviewing more than 200 fathers, Jeff identified six “dad gaps”—common areas where ambitious men can struggle to show up as the fathers and leaders they want to be. We unpack what these gaps reveal about modern fatherhood and why closing them can transform not only a dad’s relationship with his children, but also the way he leads at work and in life. We also talk about some of the biggest fears dads carry about parenting—from the fear of failing their children to the pressure to provide, succeed, and somehow be fully present at home while building a career. In this episode, you’ll discover: The 6 Dad Gaps Jeff identified through his research with more than 200 fathers Why fatherhood can be the ultimate leadership lab How becoming a better dad can make you a more grounded and effective leader The fears and pressures many ambitious fathers quietly carry Why work and family don't have to be competing worlds How dads can learn to lead with greater alignment, presence, and intention If you’re a dad who wants to succeed professionally without missing what matters most at home, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what leadership really means. Connect with Jeff Hittner Ambitious Dads Jeff Hittner on LinkedIn About Jeff Hittner Jeff Hittner is an executive coach and the founder of Ambitious Dads. After interviewing more than 200 fathers, Jeff saw the same challenge again and again: ambitious men feel pulled between two lives—the career they’re building and the family they don’t want to miss. Through the Ambitious Dads Podcast and his coaching practice, Jeff helps fathers stop treating work and home as competing worlds. His work gives men the tools, frameworks, and community to lead as the same man in every room: one man, one engine. By treating fatherhood as the ultimate leadership lab, Jeff helps men become more grounded, more capable, and more aligned leaders everywhere.

  How Do I Stop Yelling at My Child? With Devora Segall Ep. 144

  Aug 15, 202616 min

  If you’re a loving parent who sometimes finds yourself yelling at your child—and then immediately feels guilty—you are not alone. ❤️ In this episode of the Masterful Parenting Podcast, I’m joined by Devora Segall, LCSW, a therapist, certified DBT practitioner, parenting coach, and mother of ten, to talk about one of the most common struggles parents face: how to stop yelling and respond differently when we feel triggered and overwhelmed. Why do so many loving mothers end up yelling at their children, even when they desperately want to parent differently? Devora and I explore what happens beneath the yelling, what parents can do in the moment when they feel their emotions escalating, and how understanding our triggers can help us move from reacting to responding. We also talk about how to set firm boundaries and expectations without sacrificing connection, because respectful parenting doesn’t mean having no boundaries—and calm parenting doesn’t mean never feeling frustrated. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience working with children and families, Devora shares practical tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and parenting strategies that parents can actually use in real life. In this episode, we discuss: Why loving mothers can still lose their temper and yell What happens when we become triggered or overwhelmed Practical strategies for regulating ourselves before we react How to respond instead of react Setting boundaries without threats, punishment, or constant yelling Building cooperation while maintaining connection Breaking the cycle of yelling, guilt, and frustration Creating calmer, more connected relationships with our children If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to yell anymore, but I don’t know how to stop,” this episode is for you. About Devora Segall Devora Segall, LCSW, is a therapist, certified DBT practitioner, parenting coach, and mother of ten. She helps overwhelmed mothers break the cycle of yelling, guilt, and frustration so they can build calmer, more connected relationships with their children. She is the author of The Peaceful Parenting Solution and combines evidence-based DBT tools with practical parenting strategies to help parents manage big emotions, respond rather than react, and create more cooperation at home.

If you're a parent who wants to strengthen not only your relationship with your children but also your relationship with your spouse, this episode is full of practical wisdom and hope. In this episode, you'll discover: Why many healthy marriages slowly drift into disconnection. Why you don't have to wait for a crisis to invest in your marriage. How children benefit from witnessing a loving, connected relationship. The FIRM Foundation Marriage Framework and how it helps couples reconnect. Practical ways to prioritize your marriage during busy seasons of parenting. One simple habit every couple can begin this week to strengthen connection.
