About Season 3: Unlocking the Parenting Code – All About Boys
Too many boys today feel lost, alone, and misunderstood. And far too often, the same is true for their parents.
Behind the troubling statistics is a generation of boys quietly longing to be seen, heard, and valued — yet the conversation around boys’ emotional lives remains far too quiet.
Season 3 of Unlocking the Parenting Code is here to change that.
In this new season, you’ll hear:
🔹 Real conversations with young men who are ready to share their truth.
🔹 Powerful insights from experts in boys’ mental and emotional health.
🔹 Solo episodes where I reflect on what I’ve witnessed, wrestled with, and learned
🔹 And raw, real wisdom from dads who are walking this road every day
At the heart of this season — and at the heart of Sonhood Coaching — is a mission:
To understand the inner emotional world of boys, to recognize the very real challenges they face, and to name the damaging myths and societal expectations that continue to shape how we see, treat, and raise our sons.
This is not about fixing boys.
It’s about truly seeing them — and learning how to show up differently, with compassion, courage, and connection.
Together, we’re building a world where boys feel safe to be their authentic selves.
Because when we get it right for our boys, we begin to heal something much bigger.
