On the latest episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast, we’re talking about fear responses, and how they drive behavior. (Ours, as well as our kids’.)

Walking through my house just now: “Lo, I am become my father, Turner-Off of Light Switches.”
Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” came up during random play in Apple Music, and because I am a dad with boys, this song became “Juice Box Hero” for us a long time ago, and that’s still what I hear when I listen to this song.
Game day for High Point Hockey in Knoxville as they take on Tennessee. Rooting for our hockey player in his third outing of the season.

On September 25th, our hockey player skated in his first college game, and made the most of the opportunity: 2 goals, 8 seconds apart, and almost had a hat trick, but came away with an assist, as @HPUIceHockey steamrolled Old Dominion 12-2. #prouddad #hockeydad
The drive today was shorter, but may have been more stressful. AL -> GA (Atlanta metro, ugh) -> SC (most of the highway under construction) -> NC (where no one gets out of the left lane. Ever.)
But we made it, tried @Bojangles, & reunited with my bride, who flew in. Move-in tomorrow!
There’s a new episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast out, and we’re talking about open adoptions.

Today was spent on the road in four states, as I drive with our oldest to North Carolina where he starts as a freshman at High Point University on Monday. Leg #2 of the trip tomorrow, move-in on Saturday! @HighPointU
And then we became the helicopter parents and messed it all up.
