Being a student of mr koz it’s funny to see this is funny and really good for people to know and hear

My name is Caleb and I would just like to thank you for coming to my assembly at Lincoln academy and thank you for answering my question and I hope it helps me through my time of regret about being my brothers punching bag

I listened to episode five. My first episode. I was very sad/surprised/disappointed that her son confided in her The Night Before about an issue, and she shared his concerns with the world on a podcast the next day. (And that the guy/therapist on this podcast encouraged the sharing???). I know relationships are based on trust and need that to thrive. I would hope on future parenting podcasts, when real life examples are shared, more discretion is used.

I want to listen but don’t know what OG means.

Great podcast!! David is fabulous & informative with the various topics he addresses, I’ve learned so much!!! Heidi talks a bit slow so it is harder to track with her at times. I do like recent episodes with just David…keep up the great work!

Seems like good information but the man is so hard to listen to. Talks too fast, talks too much, and comes across as a know it all. I tried but can’t do it.

Heidi & David, hosts of the Light The Fight podcast, highlight all aspects of life, relationships and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

I love this podcast because they spend time on tools you can use, not just storytelling or diagnosing. This podcast is my go-to for parenting help with my kids.

I love this podcast. It’s not just about parenting, I’ve used the skills I’ve learned with so many other relationships in my life! I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty from both Heidi and Dave. I feel like they are dear friends!

I only recently found and started listening to this podcast. I’m a Heidi Swapp fan from scrapbooking (I still keep hoping one of these episodes will come with a class kit and project, lol!). I went back to listen from the beginning, so I just listened to the episode recorded on 12-19-18. Heidi did that one solo (and did a wonderful job, of course)! She shared a review she read by a grad student in marriage and family therapy, who said he felt like he should give some of his tuition money to David and Heidi. Well, I feel the same way! I’ve been out of school and licensed as a psychologist for 30 years, but I am gaining so much inspiration from this podcast! I have recommended that several parents of my clients (children and teenagers) should listen. I know it is geared in many ways to relationships with your teens, but I think the information is so beneficial for families with young children to start putting in place. What an amazing public service this podcast is. We appreciate you, Heidi and David. Thank you for continuing this journey! - Jennifer Daniell

Thank you Heidi and Dave for sharing your experiences. I have learned how to better connect and parent my teens because of the things you have taught. Thank you, thank you!

I was hoping to like this but the male therapist sounded so “know it all” and flippant that I couldn’t finish the episode.

I love your podcast and I am so sad that I’m finally listening to last weeks podcast and you said you were in Lehi and I had no idea! I have kids in elementary, middle and high school and I’m shocked I didn’t hear about this. What school was it? You guys have really helped me with the relationships with my 4 children.

I love this podcast so much! I’ve been listening since the beginning, and I have learned so much! There are several episodes that I have listened to three or four times because they are so good and I really needed the information.

Katy told me to listen to your podcast a long time ago but I just never got to it.Then I told her about my teenager and our struggles and she told me I had to listen to the oldest child podcast and she sent me the second part. The interesting thing is that everything two are saying is so true except that it’s mom and son that mirror. We are the same. I see myself in him which made me act so much harder on him because I wanted to keep him from any pitfalls that I had. If only I had listen to this five years ago. Thank you for your information you guys are awesome. I just hope I can help him rewrite a more positive narrative for himself. It kills me to know that I loved him so intensely but at the same time caused him so much pain in my unrealistic expectations. Ugh!!

And IRom McBride is my friend and neighbor! You are changing my life!!!

Loved every second !

I can’t say enough just how much I appreciate learning from Heidi and Dave! I have recently found myself needing to have a difficult conversation with my teenager on a subject that I have been avoiding! So much valuable advice and info to help me!! So grateful to these two :)

Even though this podcast is geared towards parents and those with teens, there is beautiful large nuggets of truth that EVERYONE needs to hear. David and Heidi are doing some amazing work and I always look forward to hearing their podcast.

This podcast is a great resource for parents. I love the hard conversations and practical applications! Thanks, David and Heidi!

I’ve had friends recommend this and I’ve listened to a couple of episodes so far. David is amazing to listen to and has a knack for sharing his message in this medium. However, Heidi is frustrating to listen to. Too much awkward laughing, “um”s, dead air while she puts her words together, and just overall doesn’t seem to add more to the conversation that David is. I’m sure she’s a wonderful person, but as a podcast host she is frustrating to listen to. Otherwise great job and the messages are so spot on!

So practical and instantly applicable! I have an 18 yr old son that I find challenging to talk to and every session has been helpful!!! So helpful.

The male speaker is SO much louder than the female speaker, especially when he coughs in the mic. Would be more pleasant to listen to if the voices were evenly balanced.

The concepts that David teaches are so applicable no matter where you are with your parenting. We often forget what it was like to be a teenager and how they see the world. Things aren’t the way they were when I was a teenager and I feel like David helps me see a window into their world now. David is like the teen whisper and I’m so grateful for this podcast! I recommend it all the time!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have learned so much from this podcast! I am grandma to 3 littles so you don’t need to have teens in your home to benefit from the lessons taught here.

A friend recommended this to me when I was desperately in need of finding resources for parenting teens. I had no idea how much more than that this podcast actually was. Now I tell everyone about it, write Facebook posts about it, and basically annoy anyone who will listen. Most of my phone notes are quotes I wrote down from these podcasts. I started going to therapy because of what I was learning here. I could not be more grateful for the invaluable information and thought provoking discussions. More importantly, I feel these podcasts have changed my core attitude and beliefs about parenting. Even when I don’t know exactly what to do or say in a situation, I feel almost “podcast brainwashed” (ha ha!) into speaking and reaching out to my kids in more loving, less judgmental, less reactionary ways. It has CHANGED me. Which has also changed my kids. Light the Fight is changing my world.

I lost my sister 3 years to suicide and my teen had an attempted suicide a 2 years and three months ago September. When I heard about your podcast I was so heartbroken for you and yet I feel God brings people in our life to help to bring your focus back to Him. Your words have helped me so much as we walk this journey of recovery for my daughter and our family. I tell everyone I know about the words and stories and ways to help each other I have found in your podcast. Thank you for being real and raw and plainly out here for us. ♥️. Please keep doing what you are doing. And know it helps those of us that need it most and don’t even know it yet. Sending love and prayers to you. It especially loved listening to you and Eric and all you have learned. Praying for my husband to learn too Wishing he would listen. Praying her does someday.

Thank you both for putting yourselves out there. So many of your topics resonate so loudly within my household. So glad to know we all have similar battles, but can use easy to implement strategies to help make the family unit better. I heard a quote at a motivational seminar that I wanted to share bc I think u will both love it, and I’ve started to use it with my less confident child...”be yourself, because everyone else is taken”. Short, sweet, and so true. Thanks again!

This podcast is the only parenting podcast that I listen to consistently every week. I appreciate the real life approach that both hosts bring to the table. I love the actual dialogue examples they give, which helps me implement the strategies with my own children. They keep it real, they have mutual respect for each other and have such good lessons! I recommend this podcast every chance I get.

This podcast speaks truth! I’ve listened for over a year now and each podcast just keeps getting better. Love hearing Heidi ask the questions and Dave answer. His wisdom and years of counseling are so valuable and helpful. What he teaches is what I want to become. I also love listening to Heidi have lightbulb moments along the way with us listeners. She’s humble and teachable and I love her take-aways too because she had been through so much. Thank you!!!

I just listened to my first podcast from ya. Please just let Heidi talk! Holy cow you interrupt her and cut her off. Very frustrating!

The advice here is interesting and thought provoking, not sure if I agree with it all, but it’s not bad. My biggest problem here is that every time the mom starts to speak, the guy jumps in and talks over her. It’s off-putting. I think he should be more thoughtful about sharing the time...it would make a better podcast.

I am only 4 episodes in and have been left in tears multiple times and had many ah-ha moments! This is life changing and I am so grateful I found out about it now just as my oldest is entering into this teenage world! Thank you for what you are doing!

I love this podcast! It is exactly what I need to help parent my teenagers at this time. I’m so grateful my friend told me about it.

Love this podcast! Such helpful advice and realness. Thank you for your vulnerability and wisdom and your wealth of knowledge shared. Really grateful.

This has saved me from making some major tactical errors with my daughter! I don’t know that I would have been able to approach the situation without making it worse! I can’t believe I waited so long to listen this podcast!!!

I wish the guy wasn’t so condescending to her sometimes. She has great things to say and I feel like he just takes over and goes on stupid rants.

This podcast came at a time I was desperately in need of parenting insight and help connecting with my teens. This insight has changed our entire parenting style. We saw immediate improvement in our relationships and goals with our teens. We are making lasting changes that is changing us as parents as well as blessing the lives of our FANTASTIC teenagers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Connection!! Learning from David and Heidi is helping change my perspective on successful parenting and relationships in general. So many valuable nuggets of wisdom and actionable takeaways. Listen even if your children haven’t yet hit their teenage years.

I think that what they have to say is good but getting to the point takes a while. I’m not a fan of the therapist. He’s almost too cocky. A lot of times they talk about stories that I’m sure most people have no idea what they’re talking about. So it’s like they’re having a conversation between the 2 of them and we’re off to the side catching every other word trying to put it together. I feel like they need some what of a script to go off of because it’s very hard to stay with what they’re talking about.

This is a podcast that every parent should listen to. The insights are priceless. Thank you Heidi for sharing what you’ve learned through all your heartache. Thank you Dave for teaching us what you know. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m a mom with small kids and I still find this podcast tremendously helpful in my parenting. In fact I recommend it to everyone regardless of their stage in parenting. I think anyone who interacts with any other human beings could benefit from this podcast. I appreciate Heidi’s humility and vulnerability and David’s expertise and ability to articulate.

So helpful! Once explained the concepts in this podcast seem self-evident, but my own pride or insecurities can get in the way of doing the right thing as a parent. I’ve had so many “aha” moments, and my relationships with my family members have improved.

I have a 19 yr old boy and 15 yr old daughter. I wish I had this 4 years ago but there’s still hope! I relate to so many of the topics and have been given so many wonderful tools. It has given me help and hope! Thank you!!

as a 45 year old mom...who loves twenty one pilots...and music to deal with life...you had me at TØP. and I was hooked. every human that has any and kinds of relationships should listen to every episode. i am so thankful for your time, energy and transparency. thank you! laura8574

Garrett approves this message,... I’m Garrett.

I have tried a few therapist ... no fits yet - this podcast is my therapist ... I can envision a quality life if I can get some one on my team.

Real, genuine, uplifting and clear guidance and advice for every relationship in your life!

I just graduated with my MSW from CSUSM and I can tell this podcast is going to help with my practice. Thank you!!!!

This podcast has literally changed my whole mindset! I just found out about it in April 2019 and I’m half way through! It’s a lot to absorb, but as I’m trying to implement the “tools” and behaviors, it is definitely making a difference in my home! I’m a mom of four boys ages 15-23. I wish I’d had this information 15 years ago!! Thanks Dave and Heidi!!!
