Cathy and Todd discuss the importance of “emotional hygiene” (as explained by the Dalai Lama) and why boundaries lead to more compassion (as explained by Brenè Brown). They also discuss how we can  subtlety (and often unconsciously) shame our kids, and how to become more aware of why and how we say things.
