Parenting Doctors Podcast has evolved beyond parenting alone into a broader conversation about family life, relationships, and emotional well-being.
This podcast now explores the emotional and communication skills many of us were never taught — skills that shape parenting, relationships, marriage, conflict, healing, resilience, and personal growth. Through honest reflection and practical insight, the show focuses on helping individuals and families build stronger emotional connection, healthier communication, and more resilient relationships.
While parenting remains an important part of the conversation, the focus now includes the full emotional ecosystem of family life — how we connect, how we repair, and how we grow together through life’s challenges.

Living a fearless life involves going after fears in your life. In this podcast, Dr. van Ingen discusses phobic fears (i.e. dogs and enclosed spaces), nasty fears and the fear-control sequence (i.e. acting out of that fear with pay back, grudges, bitterness and resentment), and cognitive fears (i.e. irrational thoughts). Pursuing a defining moment is also discussed including a 4-R Approach.
For more information on Dr. Dan's work in anxiety, see his book Anxiety Disorders Made Simple., available on kindle and paperback. Also, for those who want an in-depth study on neuroscience and anxiety, see his program available on video and DVD format (and audio).
