What is the purpose of this episode and who is the guest?
Hey there, it's Debbie and welcome to Playback Friday. I'm going back into the archives and re-releasing some of my favorite conversations from years ago every Friday. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one yet. And even if you are, you just may get something completely different from listening to it this time around. Here you go and enjoy the show.
We all come into parenting with this template. That can range from, oh, I had the best childhood and I just want to provide my kids the same thing. to you know, there are things I liked and there are some things I didn't like. So I want to do the good things and not do the other things. Or the okay, I had an awful childhood. I am so angry at what happened to me or just I don't even want to go back there and I'm gonna do the opposite. But what happens is most of us just do that, whichever version of what I just said, without really Consciously exploring what is driving our behaviour.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and this week I'm excited to have as my guest Dr. Dan Peters, a licensed psychologist, author, co-founder, and executive director of the Summit Center, and the co-founder of the Parent Footprint Awareness Training. Dan's mission is to support parents in raising children with purpose and intention. So in today's conversation, we're going to explore just what that means, what it looks like, and how we can do the work on ourselves that can benefit our children and the family dynamic. We'll also take a deep look at Dan's Parent Footprint Awareness Training, which is a unique virtual online experience that supports parents in guiding our child's future by becoming aware of our own parenting beliefs.
I had a chance to go through the program already, and it was very powerful. And for me, it very quickly resulted in some game changing aha moments. And because it's very customized, it's kind of like getting a chance to sit down. one on one with Dr. Dan. So I'm really excited to share it with you today. And as you'll hear from our chat, there's a really close synergy and alignment in Dr. Dan's philosophy and approach with my mission here at Tilt Parenting. So I have a hunch you'll find him just as inspiring as I do. So here's my conversation with Dr. Dan Peters. Hey Dan, welcome to the podcast.
Thank you very much, Debbie. I'm happy to be here with you.
Well, I'm looking forward to this. We were kind of swapping podcasts here. I had the pleasure of guesting on your podcast and we had such a fantastic conversation. Uh I got off that call just feeling really motivated and inspired. And so I'm just thrilled to bring you back and share you with my audience in the same way.
I I felt the same way and I have been looking forward to this conversation.
Excellent. Well, you know, we're gonna be talking about mostly your um parent footprint training program and what you're doing through that. But I wanna make sure that our guests are familiar with your work in the world and get a better sense of your personal why. So would you just take a few minutes to introduce yourself and who you are?
Sure. My name is Dan Peters and uh I am professionally a licensed psychologist in Northern California. And I co founded along with Doctor Susan Daniels uh Summit Center. which is a multidisciplinary place organization where our focus is on helping people realize their full potential and understanding their complex profiles. And when I my when I you I think about my why is I have just always been driven to See the best in people and help people become their best. And with our population of differently wired people, as you know well, there's so many complexities and our world seems to be filled with focusing on what's wrong and pathology. And so what I do personally with my consultation and with our uh multidisciplinary evaluations and our counseling at Summit Center is really
