    Episode101:Raising Ourselves as We Raise Our Kids: Dr. Emily Musgrove on Healing, Values, and Growth (Part 1)
    Jul 14 2025
    Exploring emotional wellbeing, values-based living, and the courage to grow. In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Dr. Emily Musgrove—clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and resident psychologist on The Imperfects podcast—for a deeply resonant conversation about what it means to feel emotionally “stuck,” and how we can move through pain toward healing and growth. With over 14 years of clinical experience, Dr. Musgrove brings a wealth of wisdom and compassion to the discussion, blending psychological insight with real-life tools that listeners can begin applying right away. Her book Unstuck has been widely praised for its unique blend of science, accessibility, and warmth—and this episode brings all of that to life. Key Themes We Explore: 💭 The Nature of Being “Stuck”Dr. Musgrove breaks down what it means to feel stuck—emotionally paralyzed, hopeless, or powerless—and why this very human experience, if prolonged, can erode our sense of purpose and vitality. 🧭 Values as a CompassA central message from Unstuck is the importance of living in alignment with personal values. Values aren’t fixed goals, but guiding directions—like heading west. Even when we stray, we can always return to them. ⚖️ The Pain-Progress ParadoxChange is uncomfortable, but so is stagnation. Dr. Musgrove reminds us that discomfort often signals something meaningful: we hurt because we care. Avoiding pain may keep us safe temporarily but risks long-term disconnection from a meaningful life. 🌬️ Turning Toward DiscomfortHealing involves courageously leaning into what we’d rather avoid. Whether through therapy or guided exercises in her book, Dr. Musgrove emphasizes small, purposeful acts of emotional bravery. 🧘 Practical Tools That LandListeners have shared how deeply engaging the book’s meditations and exercises are—often needing to pause the audiobook mid-drive to fully take them in. These tools are intentionally simple, helping readers take meaningful steps toward emotional change. 🧠 De-stigmatizing TherapyWe also explore the enduring stigma around mental health support. As Emily shares, asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s a profound act of strength. ❤️ Pain and ConnectionUsing the metaphor of a coin, Emily explains how pain and love are two sides of the same emotional currency. To numb one is often to numb both. Special Focus: Parenting Through a Values-Based Lens In the latter part of the episode, we turn toward the emotional complexity of modern parenting—an area where Dr. Musgrove’s insights shine. 🔁 Breaking Automatic CyclesParenting often reactivates old patterns from our own childhoods. Emily shares tools for interrupting stress-driven reactions and creating space for intentional, values-aligned responses. 🧍‍♀️ Generational Shifts & Emotional LaborToday’s parents are more emotionally attuned—but also carry new burdens of guilt and perfectionism. We discuss the beauty and weight of this generational shift, and how self-compassion is essential. 😔 Understanding GuiltEmily helps differentiate between two kinds of guilt: When we act out of alignment with our values (e.g., snapping at a child) When we act in alignment with our needs (e.g., taking time for self-care) This distinction is crucial in easing unnecessary shame and fostering healthier self-understanding. 📘 Pain + Acceptance vs. Pain + StruggleDrawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we explore how pain is inevitable—but suffering arises when we resist it. By turning toward pain with acceptance, we unlock a path to values-based action and growth. Final Takeaway: Hope Through Choice At the heart of Unstuck is a message of profound hope.“You may not be able to control your environment or the things that happen to you,” Emily says, “but in and amongst that pain, there is always a choice around how we show up to it.” This episode is a moving, empowering conversation about resilience, compassion, and reclaiming our agency in the face of life’s hardest moments. Whether you're a parent, a professional, or simply someone navigating a difficult season—this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now—and maybe bring a notebook. This one stays with you.

  • Episode 100: Dr. Jari Evertsz on Parenting Teens: Shift Your Mindset, Not Just Your Rules

    Episode 100: Dr. Jari Evertsz on Parenting Teens: Shift Your Mindset, Not Just Your Rules
    Jul 7 2025

    In this powerful and insightful episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, Dr. Jari Evertsz unpacks one of the most common misconceptions in modern parenting — that teenagers are supposed to behave well all the time. Drawing from her professional expertise and personal experiences as a parent to a 14-year-old, Dr. Evertsz offers a compassionate and realistic view of adolescence, one that invites parents to stop panicking and start understanding.

    As teenagers navigate hormonal changes, academic pressure, social media, peer influence, and intense shifts in brain development, it’s no wonder their behavior can seem unpredictable or challenging. But Dr. Evertsz reminds us: this isn't a sign of failure — it’s a sign of growth.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why parents are often shocked by teen behavior — and why that reaction is normal

    • How to shift expectations when your child enters high school

    • Practical strategies for responding to emotional volatility and defiance

    • Why humor, boundaries, and emotional regulation matter more than ever

    • How to support your teen’s development without escalating conflict

    • The importance of focusing on long-term skills like resilience, empathy, and self-regulation

    Dr. Evertsz also introduces key themes from her book, which includes real-world scripts, boundary-setting advice, and tools to help you respond when things go off the rails. Whether you're raising a teen who’s struggling with everyday challenges or navigating more serious issues like anxiety, behavioral concerns, or learning differences, this episode offers clarity, direction, and reassurance.

    Parenting teens doesn’t have to feel like survival mode. With the right mindset and skills, you can parent with more confidence, less fear, and a deeper connection to your growing child.

    Listen now to gain a fresh perspective on parenting teens — and learn why it’s okay that your teenager isn’t perfect.
