In this week's episode of the Docs2Dads podcast, we're revisiting the topic of our recent move to Arizona. It's been six months since our big relocation, and along the way, we've encountered some valuable lessons that I can't wait to share with you.
Transitioning to a new environment can be challenging for both parents and kids alike, and storytelling has emerged as a powerful tool in navigating these changes. By painting a vivid picture of what lies ahead, we can help our children better understand and adapt to new situations. From visualizing their new school to outlining our evening routines, storytelling fosters a sense of security and empowerment in our kids, allowing them to play an active role in the transition process.
However, as we've learned firsthand, saying goodbye to our old home isn't always easy, especially for our daughter. Finding ways to honor and preserve the memories of our past life has become essential in helping her navigate this emotional journey. Whether it's planning a trip back to Michigan or simply acknowledging her feelings of nostalgia, we're committed to supporting her every step of the way.
Tune in to this episode as we delve into the importance of storytelling in parenting, the challenges of transition, and the profound impact of resilience in our children's lives. Don't miss out on these valuable insights that can help your family navigate life's transitions with grace and resilience. Subscribe now to the Docs2Dads podcast to catch this episode and more!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
