If your kids ever tempt you to pull out your hair and run for the hills -- you've come to the right podcast! ParentRQ tackles real-world parenting challenges through a brain-based lens: why our children do what they do, and why we react the way we do. "RQ" stands for Relational Quotient — the deeper skill of "relationship intelligence" which is not just understanding and managing emotions, but communicating and giving the person in front of you exactly what they need in that moment. ParentRQ and our host company, GodmotherApp.com, were founded by entrepreneurs and CEOs who recognize that parenting is the hardest form of leadership they've ever had to model. We believe that when you don't just tolerate your family's differences but actively treasure them, you can build a more harmonious home — one where every person feels seen and appreciated exactly as they are. Walk away from each episode with a lighter heart, a fresh perspective, and practical tools for staying regulated and showing up for your kid with the love and presence they deserve (most of the time).

    Nicole Runyon | The real root cause of your child's behavior | ParentRQ podcast | Episode 3

    In this episode of ParentRQ, psychotherapist-turned-parent-coach Nicole Runyon — bestselling author of Free to Fly and a mother of two — explains why children's most alarming behaviors are often signals about their environment rather than problems to fix in isolation. Drawing on nearly twenty years of clinical work with children and adolescents, Nicole describes noticing a troubling pattern among middle-school girls with no history of trauma, and tracing it back to a broader shift: parents losing touch with their own instincts and authority, often through screens and permissive parenting. Together, she and her host unpack what authoritative parenting actually looks like, why certain ages call for specific kinds of independence, and how something as simple as an undistracted family dinner can rebuild real connection. Listeners will come away with a clearer way to read their child's behavior and concrete steps to reconnect at home. About the Guest Nicole Runyon, LMSW, is a psychotherapist, parent coach, and keynote speaker with a 23-year career in child and adolescent mental health. A mother of two, she is the bestselling author of Free To Fly: The Secret To Fostering Independence In The Next Generation and is known for helping parents understand how today's children think, especially around technology's effect on their development. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, Fox News Live, and in Psychology Today.

    An Autistic Mom & ADHD Dad on Raising the Kids | ParentRQ Ep. 2 | Godmother Parenting App

    In this episode of ParentRQ, we sit down with two parents who were both diagnosed as neurodivergent long before the words "neurodivergent" or "autism spectrum" were common — and who each raised kids of their own before they had the language to understand their own minds. Elizabeth Kip is a certified Addiction Recovery Coach, Ancestral Clearing practitioner, and bestselling author of The Way Through Chronic Pain. She helps people rebuild self-trust and inner peace through trauma-informed, somatic recovery work — and she shares what it meant to raise a son while unlearning her own difficult, undiagnosed family history. Mark Fister is an autistic technologist, proud ADHDer, systems thinker, and keynote speaker working to reshape the future of work for neurodivergent people. He was diagnosed autistic at 46 — well after raising three kids — and talks candidly about what that diagnosis reopened, and closed, for him. Together they get into what it actually looks like to parent from a nervous system that works differently than the ones around it: the moment each of them realized they were "wired different," what it cost them as kids, how it showed up (and sometimes got missed) in their own parenting, and the tools — HALT, H.E.A.R., co-regulation, "duty vs. service" mindset — they wish someone had handed them decades earlier. This is a conversation about honoring difference instead of trying to fix it — in your child, and in yourself. Want to understand your own child a little better? This is exactly what Godmother was built for — helping you recognize and honor how your child is actually wired, instead of guessing. 👉 Talk to Godmother: https://godmother.aingelic.net or Install Godmother App on apple store.
