Our nation is literally on fire. What do we do when our capacity, our "Window of Tolerance" is almost closed or nailed down tight? Sometimes our emotions are way too big and overwhelming and we don't know what or how to handle them. "When we are outside of our window of tolerance, our nervous system responds by going into survival mode: fight, flight, or freeze." In today's conversation, Janell offers wisdom and insight into widening our window of tolerance so that we can sail through the storms of life with greater stability and security.

Being a parent is a hard job, especially during this global pandemic. So many things have changed and life is upside down. In this episode, Be a Safe Parent, Janell opens a conversation about how to embrace this time from a posture of humility and grace in order to lead and love yourself, your spouse, and your children from a healthy emotional place. Children need to feel safe, secure, heard, seen, loved, and desperately need to feel as if they belong in their family. This secure attachment is the most important building block of emotionally healthy people.
