I raise my 5 kids with the knowledge that we live in a mind/body system. Sometimes we feel things in our hearts, and sometimes we feel things in our bodies. When it came to a scary diagnosis like Charlotte received last summer, we initially t...

In today's Pod I lay out the exact reason why your Nervous System and Brain go into fight or flight as a result of your repressed emotions, which are see...
