Beyond Quick Fixes: Your Child's Future Mental Health Starts Today | Dr. Celeste Birkhofer (Bonus Episode)

In this episode, I’m joined by clinical psychologist and Stanford adjunct faculty member Dr. Celeste Birkhofer for a conversation about a powerful truth: the mental health your child will have as an adult is being shaped right now.
