Ep 29: Leading Neuroscientist TJ Power: How Modern Life is Hurting our kids Minds & What We Can do about it…
In this episode, we sit down with TJ Power, founder of Dose Lab and author of a Sunday Times Bestseller. DOSE stands for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins—four brain chemicals that dictate how we feel, behave, and interact with the world. TJ breaks down each chemical and explains how modern behaviors are affecting them, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation in both adults and children.
We dig deep into how we can change our behaviors to help ourselves and our kids live thriving, fulfilling lives. There’s so much to learn here, making this a must-watch for all parents!

Ep 26: Dean's Ridiculous Coffee Habit, Late Nights & Our Terrifying Plane Experience
Welcome to episode 26 of the Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered podcast! This week, we’re diving into a debate about my daily coffee habit—Sara thinks it’s ridiculous, but I say it’s a necessity. We also talk about how parenting has completely changed our lives. Is going to bed early about being parents or just getting older?
Would we still stay up late if the kids weren’t waking us at dawn? Plus, our emotional reactions to movies (anyone else cry at My Girl?), losing spontaneity, and the chaos of flying with kids. Join us for laughs, debates, and real talk!
