Episode 152- Bigger Hearted Parenting: Wisdom for Raising Children and Ourselves
Update: 2025-05-02
Description
Today’s guest is someone who’s spent over 40 years at the heart of pediatric care—and even more at the heart of human care. Dr. Ron Schneebaum is a retired primary care pediatrician who has long recognized the profound role that love, connection, and compassion play in our mental and emotional well-being.
Throughout his decades in practice, Dr. Schneebaum observed a powerful pattern: when love isn’t felt, self-worth declines and life’s joys begin to fade. But rather than accept that as fate, he developed a heartfelt, human-centered approach to help others understand their inner challenges and begin to heal.
As a clinical faculty member at Dartmouth College’s Geisel School of Medicine, he taught future physicians how to bring more heart to their care. Now, as the author of Bigger Hearted: A Retired Pediatrician’s Prescriptions for Living a Happier Life, Dr. Schneebaum continues his mission through workshops, writing, podcasts, and one-on-one mentorship.
In this episode, Dr. Schneebaum speaks about the lifelong impact of love, how to nurture compassion from the inside out, and why being “bigger-hearted” might just be the most powerful prescription of all.
