We did an episode on Fatherhood in season 2... we owed this episode to all the mothers out there - we finally got it done and we're so glad we did! An amazing, touching, heart string tugging conversation about Motherhood with our good friend and business partner, Dr. Theresa Larson. (Men need to understand this topic too - as husbands, as fathers, as sons!)
Dr. Larson is a Marine Veteran, former professional softball player turned doctor of physical therapy… But today, we are here to talk to her as a mom. She is a mother of two young boys and she is constantly working to bring mindfulness into her home.
