Welcome to "The Healthy Healer" podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Fred Moss. Through sustained conversations, we delve deep into the journeys of healers who've found their purpose after personal transformation. Many enter the healing profession with aspirations only to grapple with reality—endless training, unexpected responsibilities, and even disillusionment. But there are those who rise above, harnessing personal healing and rediscovering their passion. Our podcast features these inspiring souls who've returned to the healing profession, stronger and more aligned than ever. Join us for riveting conversations that shed light on the true essence of healing and the incredible individuals who've redefined their paths.   Here are some key takeaways from this follow-up episode: - Dr. Fred reflects on parenthood and raising pets after his interview with Lana Manikowski, who helps women without children create fulfilling lives. - Lana works with "childless" women, who can't have biological kids. His wife is considered "child-free" by choice.  - Some men also feel inadequate if they can't have children. Life coaching through embracing "what is" could help them too. - Though not the same, caring for pets can provide nurturance and activate the dopamine, oxytocin and parental reward systems in the brain, similar to having kids.  - Dr. Fred's wife presents their cats to him to admire and care for, like people do with children. He gets parental feelings from providing food, shelter, safety and love.   - Pet owners, who are also parents, can compare and contrast raising kids and fur-babies. The pets bring them pleasure and purpose too.   I invite listeners to share thoughts on how pet ownership satisfies parental instincts, though it differs from raising human children. I appreciate the audience engaging with The Healthy Healer podcast and asks you to subscribe, share and comment.
