I'm Shawn Hopkins. I am a parent who understands hard moments.

I'm a foster and adoptive parent, and that experience shaped the way I see parenting.I’ve been in the moments where nothing seems to work.
Where behavior doesn’t make sense.
Where you’re doing your best and still questioning everything.My work is helping parents step back, understand what’s really going on, and respond in ways that build trust and connection.You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just don’t have to do it alone.

aParently! a Podcast for Parents

This podcast is a space for real conversations about parenting, especially when things feel hard or unclear.I talk with parents about what is actually going on, what is working, and what is not, without judgment or advice that does not fit real life.I interview parents, and I talk about the things that don’t always get said out loud.It is another way I stay connected to what parents are experiencing every day.Listen wherever you get your podcasts:

You Don't Have to
Do This Alone

This is one of the ways I stay connected to the work.Every other Monday, a group of dads gets together
to share a meal, let the kids play, and talk about
what’s actually going on.It’s real conversations, support, and a reminder
that none of us are doing this alone.If you’re local and want to join, or want help
starting something like this where you are, reach out.
