Episode 11: Why You Need Boundaries in Your Business

Last week we had the incredible Dr. Dona Matthews, PhD, with us, discussing how to help our kids choose happiness and raise happier kids. This week, we're shifting gears and diving into the topic of raising resilient kids.

Now, what I love about all of this is that, let's face it, there's already a million things we're trying to get right as parents. And the idea of adding a long list of more things to do sounds daunting. But here's the surprisingly beautiful part: there's a remarkable alignment between raising happy kids and resilient kids.

So, my suggestion? Go back to episode 109 , listen to my chat with Dr. Matthews about raising happy kids, and then let's continue the conversation about raising resilient kids.
