This episode was simultaneously recorded by video which can be found on LinkedIn or YouTube (Alexandra Miller Clark).  In this episode, we explore themes of compassion, the importance of self-management in parenting and nervous system regulation.  Dr. Nicole Dolan also discusses her forthcoming memoir, "The Art of Chaos," which reflects on her experiences as a mother and therapist.  Dr. Nicole Dolan is a licensed psychotherapist and the Founder of Sacred Paths non-profit group in California. 

At the start of the show, I share about a Japanese hero, Sempo Sugihara, and dedicate the show to the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia.
