Summary
Cathy and Todd discuss this quote they found on Dr. Christiane Northrup’s Facebook page. Sounds harsh, but is it true? Does your family tend to tip-toe around one person during the holidays?

They also discuss personal responsibility and how your attitude is always your decision. How do you view the world? Do you notice what is missing or do you notice what is working?
