Hunter talks to Dr. Dan Siegel about The Yes Brain.

Some big takeaways from this episode include:

1. Learning the importance of a “yes” brain - receptive, present, and open versus the reactivity and rigidity of the “no” brain.

2. We can build resilience in our children by teaching kids what it feels like to be in the “yes” brain mode and widen their window of tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.

3. We can use our minds to actually change the brain’s function and structure.
