I loved this podcast. The discussion about being hardwired for negativity and our ability to take deliberate actions to remember positive things was really enlightening to me. Thanks.

Thank you…this was so great to hear. I am so relieved to hear instances where I can relate to other women and mothers and this was one that was really refreshing and recharging for me. I also love when tools and ideas for change are given, it is so helpful to have even just a little something to go forward with. Thanks for doing this!
