She explains how these beliefs develop, their impact on mental healthâespecially in menâand how parents can instill confidence and self-worth in their children.
Sabrina also discusses her personal parenting transformation when her sons were 9 and 10, societal shifts in menâs emotional well-being, and practical tools to reshape limiting core beliefs.

What do Navy SEAL training, an arranged kidnapping, and childrenâs books about self-worth have in common? Todayâs guest, Gina, has one of the most unexpected journeys into understanding resilience, teamwork, and the power of belonging. Growing up, she was constantly trying to âfit in with the boys,â but what she really needed was to belong. She trained with a Navy SEAL, learning firsthand how shifting your focus from yourself to others can transform your mindset. Now, sheâs on a mission to help kids build confidence and emotional resilience through storytelling. If youâre raising a childâor just trying to figure out this thing called lifeâyou donât want to miss this conversation!
In this episode of Unlocking the Parenting Code:ALL ABOUT BOYS!, weâre joined by Gina Casazza. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Gina shares how her unconventional life experiencesâincluding signing up for an arranged kidnapping and later training with a Navy SEALâhelped her understand resilience, confidence, and the true meaning of belonging. Now an author and speaker, she teaches kids self-worth through storytelling, mindset strategies, and creative engagement. Together, we dive into the challenges kids (especially boys) face today and how parents can help their children develop emotional strength, confidence, and a deep sense of belonging.
Key Topics:The Battle Between Fitting In vs. Belonging: Growing up as a competitive, determined girl in a male-dominated space.
Lessons from Training with a Navy SEAL: Why Gina originally signed up for an arranged kidnapping (yes, really) and how that led her to Navy SEAL training.
The Pressure on Men & Misconceptions About Masculinity: Men in their 20s often face immense pressure as providers and protectors, yet societal shifts have changed traditional roles.
Awareness is Everything: Boys are not being taught about their emotions or even their hormones, like testosterone, which play a huge role in behavior and confidence.
The Power of Storytelling in Building Confidence & Resilience: Children absorb the world without the filters that adults haveâwhat parents say about them shapes their self-perception.

In this episode of Unlocking the Parenting Code: ALL ABOUT BOYS, Iâm sharing a recorded webinar I presented to a menâs group this past summer. This session, Fathers & Sons, dives into the unique relationship between fathers and their sons, exploring the emotional world of boys, the evolving definition of masculinity, and the role fathers play in shaping their sons' lives.
For nearly 30 years, Iâve studied and worked with boys to understand their inner world, the pressures they face, and the impact of societyâs expectations. In this episode, I discuss the crisis many men and boys are facing today, the shifting gender dynamics in education and the workforce, and the harmful narrative of toxic masculinity. I highlight the incredible influence fathers or male mentors can have in fostering emotional security, building strong connections, and guiding boys to develop a healthy sense of masculinity.
I also share a personal story about what sparked my journey into this workâthe realization that my own son, now 31, would grow up in a world where simply being male could make others perceive him as a threat. This pivotal moment led me to explore the messages we send our boys and how we, as parents, can counteract harmful stereotypes while embracing their true emotional needs.
Key Takeaways:
The evolving definition of masculinity and how societal changes impact men and boys todayThe concept of âThe Boy Codeâ and how unconscious gender biases shape a boyâs self-perceptionThe importance of a fatherâs role in creating emotional security and connectionConnection, communication, and discipline.The staggering statistics on menâs mental health and why male suicide rates remain alarmingly highPractical ways fathers can foster deep, meaningful relationships with their sonsIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with other fathers, sons, and men in your life.

In this insightful episode of Unlocking The Parenting Code, we are joined by Kim Nave, a homeschooling mother of eight, licensed therapist, certified life coach, and in-the-process doctorate holder. With over 33 years of parenting experience, Kim shares her remarkable journey of raising children, two of whom are still at home in the mountains of Tennessee, including a daughter facing mental health challenges and behavioral concerns. Kim's path to becoming a therapist began when her eldest daughter experienced severe mental health issues, and traditional avenues of support failed them. This personal crisis led Kim to return to school at age 43 to find better ways to support her family and understand mental health disorders as well as how personal, unresolved trauma negatively impacted her parenting.
Kim speaks about the joys and struggles of homeschooling her eight children through different life stages, instigated by her decision to leave the public school system after a challenging experience with her eldest daughter.
This episode dives deep into the complexities of parenting children with intense emotions, healing from personal trauma, and evolving as both a parent and individual. Kim also emphasizes the importance of unconditional love during difficult times and how her own healing journey has positively impacted her relationship with her children, allowing them to feel safer and more open in their communication.
