Customer Reviews
Must listen for all parents!!
Despite my unfortunate area of expertise being in narcissistic abuse, DJ was gracious to invite me to be a guest on her show to discuss bravery and resilience in parenting within difficult circumstances. The episode won't be released until later this year. However, I'm so pleased with how easily our discussion flowed. Like all her other episodes, it is well-organized and intended to give parents perspective in raising their children to reach their full potential.
