Dr.Dana Suskind

Kathryn interviews Author Dana Suskind MD. As the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on families, and the Build Back Better plan is stalled in Congress, many parents feel alone, resourceless, and forgotten. But as Dr. Dana Suskind recently wrote in The Hill, parents have the power to become our nation's strongest special interest group. She proposes we must make healthy brain development our North Star, the organizing principle around which our society is oriented. And we must do so by elevating our expectations for how society supports parents, the first and most important architects of children's brains. Suskind is a world-class pediatric surgeon, social scientist, and bestselling author who has been featured in the NY Times, The Economist, Forbes, NPR, and Freakonomics. Kathryn also interviews Author Rebecca Morrison JD. To find your recipe for happiness, you need to know what matters most to you; have strong beliefs to support taking the necessary next steps; and actually do the kinds of things you want to, while letting go of the rest. You also need to be willing to share your desires with the world—something that is often challenging.By decluttering your days of the "should" and the "have-to" moments and focusing instead on what actually matters, a road toward fulfilling joy will be laid before you. With actionable steps for closing the gaps that are often present along the path to happiness, Rebecca Morrison shares insights on how to start living a happier life, starting right now. Morrison, a graduate of Wellesley College and Georgetown Law is also a UC Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute Certified Executive Coach.
