048. Introspective Questions That Help You Put Your Kids First [with Liza Gold]
More ways to listen:
Do you ever wonder what it might be like for your kids — to move back and forth between two homes?
Whether your kids are moving between two allies or between two "countries at war", there's likely to be some tension.
Reducing that tension is really up to the adults…and that starts with you.
In this episode, we've got a very special guest who knows what it's like to move back and forth between Mom and Dad's house — because that was a big part of her story.
Now, she's drawing on that experience and understanding — combined with her professional training — to help others work through their own hurts and hang-ups.
