Dr. Robyn Mills: Navigate Family Dynamics and Childcare Support for Grandchildren | All Together #38

With Grandparents' Day approaching, there are significant questions surrounding family relationships from the perspective of grandparents: how they interact with family members, provide family support, and set boundaries to balance family life with their own.

In this episode of the All Together Podcast, Dina is joined by Dr. Robyn Mills, a retired psychologist and a grandmother of six children. She has enjoyed a 50-year career in the health field, working in psychiatric units, emergency departments, private practice, and teaching at various universities across multiple disciplines, including psychology, nursing, and natural medicine. Her PhD in Organizational Psychology has provided her with an in-depth understanding of optimal workplace practices in a psychiatric unit.

Over the past decade, Robyn has produced and hosted a radio platform, where she interviewed inspiring people from around the world. This endeavor has been highly successful, with more than 500,000 downloads of her programs. She is also a founding and integral member of Win Win Parenting, where she educates parents and makes a positive difference in the lives of the current and next generation of children. She believes her greatest achievement is raising her three beautiful daughters and being an inspiring and positive influence in the lives of her grandchildren. Now, Robyn's passion is creating 'Humanity's Heart,' whether through her art, singing, or spoken words. She believes that when we pour love into the collective heart of humanity, we leave a heartprint of love that shapes the world.

Dina and Robyn discuss the differences between being a parent and being a grandparent, including the authoritarian role that a grandparent plays in a child's life. Robyn also shares her advice on maintaining the boundaries set to balance her life as a grandparent and as a retiree, including some key conversations to have while earning respect.
