In this special edition of the Cold Coffee Hot Mess, the boys have taken over the mics. Nadean and Olivia brought hubs, Ed and Nathan, into the studio to chat with author and fellow girl dad Dr. Chris Scanlon about the joys and challenges of raising girls from a dad’s POV. Chris co-authored ‘Raising Girls Who Like Themselves’ with wife Kasey Edwards, who’s also been a guest on the show.
