In August 2017, Chris Yandle wrote a short little note to his grade 8 daughter and slipped it into her backpack.

“Dear Addy, treat everyone like they are the most important person you’ll ever meet. Love Dad.”

She liked the note, so he kept writing them.

“Dear Addy, right is right, even if no one does it. Wrong is wrong even if everyone does it. Right isn’t always going to be popular but it’s better than wrong. Love Dad.”

“Dear Addy, you’re a diamond, dear. No one can break you. Love Dad.”

The notes hit the right note. Four years later Chris realized he had 900 notes – enough for a book. 

Lucky Enough: A Year of a Dad’s Daily Notes of Encouragement and Life Lessons to His Daughter, has now sold globally, it’s being translated into Korean, and it’s sparked a media blaze of coverage throughout the United States on national television and newspapers.

What is it about these notes that make them so relatable for all of us?

One thing about being a parent – there’s no shortage of personalities to be surrounded by. Our kids, our partners, our family, our friends. They keep us laughing, growing, loving, and crying. If only they understood us. Like the musician Van Morrison once sang “When people understand what I mean, mama said there will be days like this.” Adelaide Australia’s Kate Mason is an author, wife, and mother who has spent her career studying personality and relationships. In this podcast she looks at why relationships work, and why some don't. She also looks at how our personalities impact our relationships and examines what compels our children, husbands, wives and others to behave the way they do. This podcast is designed to help you understand those you love. A half hour listening on your own, will connect you with the ones you care about the most.

Parenting is a tough gig, but the podcast Parenting and Personalities brings you closer to the ones you care about the most.
