What makes a happy family? In this episode we’re joined by one of Australia’s most trusted voices in parenting and family wellbeing, Dr Justin Coulson to find out.

A dad to six daughters, psychologist, author, and founder of the platform Happy Families, and has dedicated his life to helping parents raise resilient, emotionally secure children. But his journey into this work didn’t begin in academia, it began in a deeply human moment inside his own home that challenged the kind of father he wanted to be.

What followed was a complete life pivot, from a career in radio to a PhD in psychology, and a mission to better understand what children truly need to thrive.

In this conversation, we go beyond parenting tips and into the heart of what it means to raise humans in today’s world. We explore the mistakes parents don’t realise they’re making, the truth about self-belief and grades, and how Justin has navigated it all while raising six daughters of his own.

This is a powerful, honest, emotional conversation about the kind of adults we’re shaping, and the kind of parents we choose to be.
