This week I chat to Kathy Imabayashi from Sunhood Coaching, about her work in helping parents with boys. Kathy shares her personal journey of becoming a parent and the pivotal moment that sparked her interest in understanding the challenges faced by boys in society. We discuss the importance of self-awareness for parents in recognizing and addressing their unconscious biases, as well as the impact of societal messages on boys' development.
We chat about why parents need to create a safe and supportive environment for their sons, The role of fathers in a son's development, the importance of empathy, respect, and what makes a remarkable man.
I really enjoyed his conversation with Kathy and I hope you do too!
