b'This episode explores the subject of vulnerability, male culture, and parenting specifically in the context of heteronormative relationships and how men can show up as better dads to their differently wired children. And I have the perfect guest to explore this topic with \\u2014 Todd Adams, half of the duo of Zen Parenting Radio, and a leadership coach for men and the executive director of the international men\\u2019s organization, Men Living.\\xa0\\nTodd and I looked at the societal norms and pressures on men that get in the way of their being vulnerable in their relationships, feel more connected at home, and hold emotional space for their families, especially in families with neurodivergent kids and where the demands on relationships (emotionally, mentally, and physically) may be more intense. We also talked about what women can do to support and encourage their male partners to do inner work and show up as dads in a way that will better support their relationships and their family as a whole.\\xa0\\nThings you\'ll learn from this episode\\n\\nWhat the a \\u201cman box\\u201d is (and how it differs from \\u201ctoxic masculinity\\u201d)\\n\\nThe barriers in a heteronormative relationship that stand in the way of men feeling connected, including the additional challenges when raising a differently wired child\\n\\nHow families can benefit from men showing up and being more vulnerable in their relationships\\n\\nWhat women can do to encourage their male partners to do the work and how they can support them through it\\n\\nHow dads can find other like-minded dads and connect with them\\n\\nResources mentioned for dads, the "man box" and how men can better show up for their kids and families\\n\\nMen Living\\n\\nZen Parenting Radio (Todd and Cathy Adams\\u2019 podcast)\\n\\nTodd Adam\\u2019s Coaching Site\\n\\n\\nGetting Aligned Through Parenting and Marriage Challenges, with Todd and Cathy Adams (Tilt Parenting Podcast)\\n\\nCathy Adams on Zen Parenting in an Unpredictable World\\n\\nThe ManKind Project\\n\\nThe Mask You Live In\\n\\nJennifer Siebel Newsom\\n\\n\\nA New Earth: Awakening to Your Life\\u2019s Purpose by Eckert Tolle\\n\\n\\xa0\\nSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n Visit Tilt Parenting\\n Take the free 7-Day Challenge \\n Read a chapter of Differently Wired \\n Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram \\n \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
