You are listening to the Famous at Home podcast with Dr. Josh and Christy Straub.

Because when it's all said and done, we all want to know that we were famous at home.

Welcome back to the Famous at Home podcast. I cannot tell you what a joy it is. I think between David and Sissy, they are the most frequented guests on our podcast.

That's probably true.

So today we have David Thomas back with us again. He has written a brand new book called Raising Emotionally Strong Boys.

And we are, we are his. We're like super fans. We're super fans of David and.

Years long creepy, but. You two. I am super fans of yours yours that's the way this works let's be clear

well we are honored to have you on as always anytime with you is just amazing for us and so

i want to spend time today just talking about this book.

I know so many listeners have boys and they're raising strong boys.

They want to raise strong boys.

This whole idea of emotionally strong, I think, is one that so many of us as families

or as parents, as adults, ourselves maybe weren't raised with

or we didn't have an understanding of what it means to be emotionally strong. We talk about,

you know, at least I learned as a wrestler and a baseball player what it meant to, you know,

be tough and be physical and all those types of things. And I think that's very,

I think it's a lot more comfortable, especially from a dad's standpoint. So to be talking about

emotionally strong boys is something, I think, is relatively new. And you are doing it in such

a powerful way. But not only do you, are you talking about it, you do this it in such a powerful way but not only do you are you talking about it you do this day

in and day out with boys uh as a therapist at day star and so that's what makes this even more

special is you i mean this is this is your bread and butter you love doing this, and you also have raised them.

So, David, I would love for those of you who are listening to the podcast for the first time,
