SELLEST OSAST
This week I sat down with the one and only Dr. John Duffy — clinical psychologist, bestselling author, podcast host, teen whisperer, and all-around good guy you'd want on speed dial when your family group chat goes off the rails. We talk parenting (spoiler: none of us are doing it perfectly), teens (they're not as scary as they look, I promise), relationships (yep, they're still confusing), and why a lot of men would rather rebuild a carburetor than sit on a therapist's couch. Dr. Duffy brings humor, wisdom, and a whole lot of real talk about navigating the chaos of modern life without totally losing it.
