Thank you for this podcast. What Dr. Michael said about anxiety and the difference between how we perceive ourselves and our reality resonated with me. I want to know how we can be better at accepting our reality? How can we upgrade our software? Thanks again for this interview. I will be watching more of your videos. #psycology #anxiety #mental_health #child_rearing #parenthood #IQ #learning

Excellent, excellent interview! This one was so interesting to listen and learn from. I could listen to the two of you all day. You asked great questions. I don't think I have ever heard anyone like Dr. Michael, with his insight, speak about these things before. You are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.

Erika, it’s detaching at least a week or two to what we’re doing. Find and create time for yourself to slow down. Because no one will do it for us.
