  • Fresh Breath of Air

    I look forward to each new podcast. There is so much wisdom shared in playing past episodes too. The introduction of setting the tone with a pause helps me build my own daily rhythm.

    I’ve downloaded the Brave at Heart and Pause Apps - sooo helpful to me personally.

    To John and each content contributor on this show… thank you for being intentional and transparent with us.

  • Stop the spoilers

    John, I REALLY don’t like the spoilers you are now adding as the introduction to your podcasts. They are mostly not helpful, sometimes misleading, and other times actual spoilers to things that would be much more impactful if not played in the intro.

    I am a long time supporter - been to bootcamp and advanced, listen to ALL the podcasts, read most of your books and plan to read all of them, use your materials as study for a band of brothers, etc.

    I love you, but please stop the spoilers!

E882 | Ruling Your Domain Q&A - Part 2
Q: How should foster or adoptive parents handle a traumatized child who acts out?
