Dr. Dan speaks to the inspiring environmental activist, mother, grandmother, and bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe. Mary Alice and Dr. Dan talk honestly (and passionately) about parenting, mentoring, family, being present, why nature is healing, unplugging, family dinners, legacy, mindfulness, and living your best life every day.

Mary Alice Monroe writes stories for adults and children about the parallels between nature and human nature. Bottlenose dolphins, monarch butterflies, shorebirds, and loggerhead sea turtles are among the wild species she has worked with and woven into her novels. This episode encourages parents, grandparents, and caregivers to model positive ways to live today, tomorrow, and every day.
