Episode Synopsis

My first guest is Tom Matt, an empty nester dad, talking about the adjustments that you have to make once the kids leave.  Doug Rebout is now the dad to a "special needs" girl.  He and his wife adopted a very young girl from Ukraine (back before the war).  What have been the biggest struggles, joys, ey-openers, etc!  Finally, I chat with the author of the book, "Don't Put Your Crap In Your Kid's Diaper: The Clean Up Cost Can Last a Lifetime"!  Tom Gagliano gives his perspective on shoving your emotional baggage onto your kids and how detrimental that can be!
