In this inspiring and down-to-earth episode, I get on the Mic with Brian Parana – dad of four, husband, health coach, living a life filled with travel, connection, modern parenting.
Brian shares how he and his wife are raising four unique kids – with an intentional mix of structure and adaptability. With a combined 50-state family travel adventure under their belt (and now aiming for all 7 continents!), Brian brings a joyful and grounded perspective on parenting, health, and being a present partner and dad.
What We Talk About:
- How Brian tailors his parenting to each child’s personality and needs.
- Managing chaos with intention – From nightly family meetings to co-parenting on the fly.
- Communication over perfection – Why adaptability, humour, and honesty matter more than perfection.
- Filling your own cup – Brian’s self-care strategies as a dad and health coach.
- Raising connected siblings – Planting seeds of lifelong support between his kids.
- Breaking generational cycles – Brian and Amber’s commitment to a strong, united parenting partnership.
