Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan: Podcasts on Teenage Girls, Managing Energy, Parenting Boys, and Affirming Neurodiversity
Dr. Dan Peters spoke with four new guests in the last month: author Chelsey Goodan, leadership coach Heather Chauvin, parent advocate Tosha Schore, and psychologist Dr. Debra Brause. One new bonus episode was also posted, discussing answers to listener questions.
The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls with Chelsey Goodan
Dr. Dan speaks to guest Chelsey Goodan about her paradigm shifting work with teenage girls and her #1 bestselling book Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls. Oprah Daily raves, “If you have a teenage girl in your life, you need to read this.” Dr. Dan and Chelsea explore practical ways parents can better understand and connect with their daughters and discuss how teenage girls can teach us all.
Beating Parent Overwhelm by Managing your Energy Instead of Your Time with Heather Chauvin
Dr. Dan’s guest is leadership coach Heather Chauvin, who helps ambitious, overwhelmed women break free from their fears to courageously and authentically live, work, and parent on their own terms.
Heather started her career as a social worker, but a cancer diagnosis in 2013 pushed her to take a deeper stand for change and to work to uncover how cultural expectations sabotage our dreams. Dr. Dan and Heather discuss how women can learn to stop the endless cycle of Mom-guilt so that they can be more present and more connected both at home and at work.
Listener Questions About Nex Benedict and Other Parenting Topics
Trigger warning: sensitive material and discussion of death on this episode
In this Sitting Down With Dr. Dan bonus episode, Dr. Dan and podcast producer Laura Rossi talk about bored children, vacation routines, nesting parties, and a very serious topic: bullying and the tragic death of Nex Benedict.

Dr. Dan welcomes back parent coach Tosha Schore to talk about parenting boys. Tosha is an advocate who works with parents to care for themselves, connect with their boys deeply, set limits lovingly, and play wildly.
This episode is a follow-up episode to Tosha’s important work (featured in our episode in December 2018) advocating for boys.
Dr. Dan talks to psychologist Debra Brause, Psy.D., about neurodiversity including her work with parents raising neurodivergent children and working with autistic adults from a neuro-affirming perspective. They also discuss Debra’s Psychology Today essays which cover topics such as a child's new diagnosis, autism, and more.

Tomorrow! Parenting with Awareness, Purpose, & Intention with Dr. Dan Peters
It’s your last chance to register for free for tomorrow’s webinar with Summit Center executive director Dr. Dan Peters. This talk will address the importance of a parent’s awareness about themselves as key to raising healthy, engaged, and happy children. By being engaged in one’s own life, being clear about where you came from, and being aware of what you want to pass on to your children, you can parent with purpose, which is aligned with your goals for your child.
Wednesday, April 17, at 12 noon PDT. Recording will be available later for a fee.
“There is a new movement towards assessments that are neurodiversity affirming. Where we’re not looking at deficits – because that’s how autism has been defined, as a list of deficits – and we are looking at strengths. Where we can support and accommodate the child. And that’s a completely different lens around making this child who they are and not fixing them.”
― Dr. Debra Brause on Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan
