In this episode: What I witnessed this weekend, in a room that had nothing to do with motherhood The exact thing one woman said about the story she'd been carrying about herself Why "holding up a mirror" isn't a soft idea, it's eighteen years of my actual clinical training What this has to do with a nine month old who won't sleep, a fourteen year old who doesn't cuddle anymore, and a daughter packing for college The August masterclass, what it is, and who it's for.
