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. And I think the best way to do that is with therapy. Better Help Online Therapy,

the sponsor of today's podcast, wants to remind you to take care of your

most important relationship, the one you have with yourself. Better Help Online Therapy offers

video, phone, and even live chat sessions with your therapist. You don't even have to see
