"If you can't be pleased, people stop trying."  That advice is GOLDEN!

I felt like I was at a bible study! I am a pastor’s wife and will be using some of the things you have said. Thank you!

I've heard therapists call them A.N.T.s (Automatic Negative Thoughts)

Dana, I love your humor and relate to many things you share! 🎉

I loved the book, and I thought Winnie the walrus was a perfect choice, something fresh and precious! ❤

So true and such great advice and reminders Dana, you are so excellent as always!  I could practically listen to you all day long.  Thank you.

Two things: First - we love your book! My son has a stuffie walrus named Waldo, and he wanted me to suggest to you that you should write a sequel called Waldo's basement of blocks. So there's your free idea. 😂

Second, thank you for your wise words at the end. I feel called upon to repent because I think I often am that person that my family can't please because I definitely say "what about this or that" after they've tried to help. Thank you!

Thank you for this important message!

Excellent podcast, Dana. I appreciate all the different examples you mention. So true!
I just received your book about Winnie. Thank you so much for expressing what is hard for me to put in words.

Im giving my 4 year old grandson, Hayes,  Winnies Pile of Pilliows book for his fourth birthday this coming Saturday!

It's a good way to deal with many negative knee jerk reactions.

It’s easy to snipe from the sidelines. These are the people whose adult children don’t talk to them anymore, and they can’t figure out why.
