Love, Happiness and Success with Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby #424 How To Reparent Yourself, with Dr. Dan Siegel

This week I’m joined by THE legendary Dr. Dan Siegel, and we’re diving deep into the powerful process of reparenting yourself. Together, we’re going to show you how to rewire your brain for emotional healing, break free from past patterns, and build healthy, fulfilling relationships.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How childhood experiences shape your adult life (but don’t define it!)
- The healing power of contingent communication in relationships
