Hey, everybody. This is Todd. This is podcast number 526, and we did an interview about a month ago with Dr. Dan Siegel.

He's coming out with a new book called The Power of Showing Up, How Parental Presence

Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired. It truly was an honor to be able to interview Dr. Siegel.

For those of you who have been listening to the show for a while, you know that a tagline

that we say at the beginning of every show is that the best predictor of a child's well-being

is a parent's self-understanding. That came from Dr. Siegel. And of all the books that Kathy and I have read, Dr. Segal's is amongst the most influential

in how we parent and what we talk about on this podcast.

So it was just a fun interview, and we hope you enjoy it.

So without further ado, here's Dr. Dan Siegel.
