Today we're revisiting an episode where we talk about energy. And not the kind that involves crystals and supernatural activity. This is the energy inside our bodies that allows us to function in our daily activities. As you'll find, Brandy is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this topic and her way of explaining it really helps us see how understanding energy can change the way we function within our homes and in how we effectively communicate with others.

Dear dads, you are amazing and your children love you. You do more than you even realize and make small and simple differences every single day. I hope you listen to this episode and internalize the things this panel of children has to say about their own dads, because I guarantee your children would say similar things about you! Thank you for all you do to teach and support your children. They see you. They want to be like you. And they love you unconditionally. Keep up the good work dads. No other job is more important than yours.
