At a recent physician entrepreneur retreat, my doctor friends kept asking the same question - how can I raise my kids to not be entitled? To have drive? When they are growing up with so much more than I had.

It's a great question, but it's based on a false assumption. That grit can only be born from scarcity.

Listen to this episode to hear my take on why raising kids with abundance can actually form adults who are wonderful, generous, motivated builders, if we do it right.

Join me in this episode with Elisabeth Stitt, award-winning parent coach and founder of Joyful Parent Coaching. Elisabeth and I talk about her work with fathers going through divorce, a group of people we agree are underserved and so motivated.

In this episode, Dr. Marissa Caudill interviews Jeff Hittner of the Ambitious Dads Project to discuss the challenges dads face in parenthood, and how we can best support them. Jeff discusses the challenges he faced in having to accept his infertility on the path to becoming a father, and how that challenge gave him the gift of having to embrace imperfection and failure and vulnerability before he even became a dad. We also discuss the difficulty dads face with self-criticism and shame, and how co-parents can best support fathers to step into their vital and important role in their kids' lives.
