We all put up emotional barriers to shield ourselves from getting hurt, but we often miss the delicate balance of healthy space yet true connection with others.

Today’s clip features Henry Ammar, a human behavior expert, entrepreneur, and podcaster. Henry guides us through creating genuine connections and the importance of vulnerability while also establishing healthy boundaries. If we want our kids to learn how to stand up for their needs but also form deep relationships, it starts with us showing them how.
