In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we sit down with Siah Fried, a pioneering parent and family health coach. Siah brings over 30 years of public health experience to her mission of helping families break generational cycles of unhealthy coping mechanisms, particularly around eating disorders and emotional challenges. She discusses her unique 7-step coaching model designed to help parents foster resilience, emotional intelligence, and wellness at home, moving beyond therapy to provide actionable strategies for creating a healthier family dynamic.

Siah shares powerful insights into the common roots of family struggles, often tied to societal pressures and perfectionism. She emphasizes the critical role parents play and offers her core advice for raising healthier, happier children:be truly present and provide unconditional love and support. The conversation also covers her impactful workbooks, "Redefining Success for Every Child" and "This Stops Now," which provide practical frameworks for parents to tune out external noise and focus on their family's unique values and definition of success.
