Dr. Kate Lund explores how to manage your emotional response with therapist and author Danielle Ireland. Reflecting on her experiences as a mother to two boys, Danielle talks about the importance of responding instead of reacting, the right way to empower your children, and how to help bolster their self-confidence. She also explores how mothers should never set aside their own well-being and why they should know how to set healthy boundaries to avoid getting overwhelmed.
