In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar's guest is a man whose story of redemption will stay with you. John Wildsmith, founder of Wyldstyle Fit, is proof that even in our darkest moments, there’s a way back. From years of addiction and incarceration to building a life rooted in faith, family, and fitness.

This episode is a raw and redemptive journey through darkness, faith, and fatherhood. Oscar and John talk about how addiction nearly destroyed his life — and how becoming a father saved it.

From the depths of meth addiction and incarceration to the moment that changed everything — a daddy-daughter dance he almost missed — John shares how faith, family, and fitness became his foundation for rebuilding his life.

If you’ve ever struggled with shame, purpose, or showing up for your family, this episode is a reminder that redemption is possible — and that our daughters have a way of leading us home.

In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar welcomes parenting coach Jeanine Mouchawar, a Stanford-educated certified professional coach who specializes in helping parents of preteens and teens build stronger, calmer, and more connected relationships with their children. Through her coaching programs, workshops, and short-form videos, she teaches practical tools for communication, emotional regulation, and confidence-building at home. A mother of three grown kids herself, Jeanine combines real-world experience with evidence-based strategies to help families navigate the messy middle years with empathy, structure, and grace.

Together they unpack what’s really behind “disrespect,” how to hold firm, loving boundaries, and why stepping away (or tag-teaming with your spouse) can prevent explosions and protect the relationship. Jeanine shares simple, repeatable scripts to get past one-word answers, reframe chore battles as family teamwork, and model the respect we hope our daughters will one day expect from partners.
