This podcast isn’t about being perfect—it’s about becoming present. If your child has shut down, if conflict keeps escalating, or if you’re simply unsure how to reach them anymore, you’re in the right place. Every episode is an invitation to take back your leadership role in the home with calm authority and unconditional love.
What is this podcast all about?
Parenting is hard—and no one hands you a guide. But there is a path to healing, and it starts with you. The Parent Whisperer helps parents shift the focus away from the problems rebellious youth create and toward the problems that create rebellious youth in the first place.
Through honest storytelling, deep emotional insight, and practical guidance, host Richard Ramos leads parents through the inner work that restores trust, authority, and connection. This show is grounded in the belief that transformation doesn’t start with fixing the child—it starts with understanding the home dynamic and growing emotionally as a parent.
You’ll hear powerful truths and vulnerable stories that expose the pain points many families face—breakdowns in communication, trauma that goes unspoken, and the silent drift that pulls families apart. But more importantly, you’ll hear how families come back together.
Every episode is rooted in Richard’s decades of experience working with parents, educators, correctional staff, and at-risk youth, and is shaped by seven core principles: emotional maturity, earned authority, meaningful discipline, family leadership, reconciliation, emotional loyalty, and root-cause awareness.
This podcast will challenge you—but it will also equip and inspire you. Because no matter the mess, reconciliation is possible.
Meet your host, Richard Ramos
Hi, I’m Richard Ramos. I’ve spent more than 30 years working with at-risk youth, incarcerated parents, families in crisis, school districts, and community leaders across the country. I founded Parents on a Mission to help parents restore trust, heal broken relationships, and reclaim their role as the most powerful influence in their child’s life.
As the host of The Parent Whisperer, I share stories, insights, and strategies drawn from a lifetime of helping parents lead with strength and love. My philosophy is simple: strong families create strong communities—and it all starts with emotionally healthy, empowered parents.
I train parents and professionals alike to embed a mentorship model that works. Whether I’m working inside correctional facilities, running workshops for schools, or coaching parents directly, the goal is always the same: to help you show up as the leader your child needs and build a future based on trust, growth, and reconciliation.
