Episode Description from the Publisher

Andrea Mata, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, the founder of BrightSpot Families, and the author of The No. 2 Parenting Book. Her career has been spent in the trenches of family life, helping parents build stronger bonds with their children, protect their own mental health, and find clarity in the middle of the daily chaos that no parenting class ever fully prepares you for. But this episode goes somewhere different. Andrea and I get real and personal about what actually matters in raising kids today, how tragedy turned to triumph in her own life (and mine as well) and more... This one isn't just a conversation. It's a reckoning, a release, and a reminder that even the people who help others heal are still doing the work themselves. A powerful close to a powerful month. Listen now. Subscribe. Share.Disclaimer: This might be the most vulnerable conversation I've ever had on camera.... closing out Mental Health Month with a voice every parent (and survivor of tragedy) needs to hear. #15MinutesWith #DrAndreaMata #BrightspotFamilies #MentalHealthMonth #ParentingMatters #FamilyMentalHealth
