Back to living the hug life with my mom! It has been about 2 months since I or our children hugged my mother their grandmother. We reunite in this episode and explore some of the effects of a socially distanced family. If you haven't hugged your mom in a while because of COVID -19, I understand. If you haven't hugged her in a while because she is no longer with us, I understand. If you haven't hugged your mom in a while because she refuses or is incarcerated or committed to psychiatric care, I understand. If an argument, hurtful words or over blown misunderstanding is why you haven't hugged her in a while - let's change that! Visit us at www.pchatp.com

In seeking to truly understand one another - we become bridge builders. We can find a way to cross over the confusion to connect instead of condemn. Instead of trying to build a case against someone, we often build a case around someone. Making them fit into the container of our own ignorance.If you communicate from a place of fear, you’ll have more to be afraid off.
