    For the final episode of season 1, Dr. Swick sits down with a special guest: her sister Lauren, who is a dear friend and a parent of two. They talk about what’s guided and sustained Lauren in raising two children with very different needs and experiences. Plus, how their own upbringing influenced their parenting styles.

    How Do I Raise Emotionally Intelligent & Responsible Men?
    Nov 4 2025
    When your kids are in their 20s but still under your roof, how do you know when to step in and when to step back? Today’s guest, a single father of two, is experiencing this problem twofold, since his young adult sons are identical twins! At 21, they’ve fought hard for the skills and independence they’ve achieved, and yet they still sometimes fall short with certain elements of adulthood. This father wants to know the best way forward, and we talk about how that can start with modeling some challenging behaviors himself. This is a conversation about knowing your kids and when they need help, and how letting them observe, attempt and figure things out themselves can sometimes be the best kind of help.
