Welcome Podcast

Raising Kids, Growing Parents by William Shackelford, aka "Papa Shack"

Episode notes

This short podcast introduces the Raising Kids, Growing Parents podcast series inspired by the book Growing Into Your Parenting Role: Tips and Tools for Every Stage of Your Parenting Journey — which your host, Bill Shackelford, was blessed to write with my beloved late wife, Renée.

Every episode dives into the real work of parenting — not the picture-perfect Instagram kind, but the kind that requires self-reflection, emotional maturity, patience, and grace.

This podcast series is designed to encourage you, equip you, and remind you that great parenting is a matter of choice, not circumstance. Along the way you will learn that parenting isn’t just about raising kids… it’s about growing into the best version of yourself while you do it.
