Show notes

Who do you think you are? Do you think you're brave? Do you think you're creative?

#192: Engaging in Restorative Relationships Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

We are wounded in relationships with others, and it only makes sense that relationships are also where our healing will take place. When walking through hardship, it's not enough to read a book or see a counselor. We need someone who will lean into our pain, instead of leaning away. On this Java with Juli, join Juli, Linda, and Hannah to learn how to walk through difficult times with others and love them well.

Guests: Linda Dillow & Hannah Nitz

Modern science has allowed us to see exactly what is going on inside the adolescent brain,

Juli's guest shares how these years are an opportunity to shape the incredible organ that is still

developing inside your teenager's skull. Join Dr. Juli Slattery and Jerusha Clark as they discuss

when to "lean in" or "let go" in your relationship with your teen.

Guest: Jerusha Clark

Guest: Erin Smalley
