Think about the last time you were truly angry. Maybe it was a heated argument with a friend or a frustrating interaction at work. In those moments, could you easily articulate your feelings and propose solutions? Most likely not.
My guest this week is the wonderful Simone Davies. Simone Davies is a Montessori expert and advocate for gentle parenting. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, Simone is passionate about helping parents raise happy, confident, and capable children.

Entry #13: How Wonderful This All Is - Dolores Murgolo
After a bit of time off, we’re back and we’re starting with a refresher on why being a stay-at-home father has been the biggest gift I’ve ever received and what I am doing to change the narrative around fatherhood for the better.
We also sit down to chat with the first guest on this show. Some people call her teacher, others call her director, and many little kids call her Mrs. Dolores. As for me, I’ve spent 43 years calling her mom.
