Show Notes

[Watch the episode here] In the powerful season finale of Shaped, as always, Trent sits down with someone who has profoundly influenced his life, and in this episode, we sit down with his father, Peter Cotchin. This personal conversation delves into the lessons passed down through generations, the influence of father-son relationships, and how our own childhood experiences shape the kind of parent we become. Pete shares insights into his relationship with his father and how it shaped the way he parented Trent, sparking an important question: Do we parent to give what we missed?

Trent opens up about his most vulnerable period during the challenging year of 2016, reflecting on the struggles.
