What if one of the greatest gifts we can give our children isn't protecting them from challenges, but preparing them to overcome them? In this inspiring conversation, Christine sits down with leadership consultant, educator, author, and entrepreneur Dr. Cindy Zurchin to explore how parents can intentionally raise resilient, confident children who are equipped to face life's ups and downs.
