Episode 59: Respectful Parenting with Jessica Lane Weiss (AKA Daniella's Best Friend)

They were both studying acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting. And it was Passover. Jessi was eating Matzo straight from the box in the student lounge and Daniella yelped "OMG come to my parents uptown tonight. You need to eat." They've been family ever since. Jessi has become a mommy mentor to Daniella. In this episode you'll hear why. Here's Jessi's bio and some of the books and resources she recommends below. Enjoy!
