Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast, where we provide one lesson every single day to help you with your most important job, being a parent.

I'm Ryan Holiday, and I draw these lessons from ancient philosophy, modern psychology, practical wisdom, and insights from parents just like you all over the world.

Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps.

If you want to improve your relationship with your kids, one of the best ways you can do that is by improving your most important relationship, which is your relationship with yourself, whether it's body issues, whether it's eating issues, whether it's childhood traumas from early in life, whether it's a work addiction, a drug addiction, whether it's how you see yourself and that affects

how you act in your marriage, dealing with your own issues will make you a better parent.
