“Be kind to your younger self. And that to me, just has taken away a lot of shame. And what would you actually say to her, or him? You’d say, It’s okay, you’re going to be okay, you deserve empathy, you deserve to be paid attention to. And just keep that in your mind over and over again.” – Georgia Hardstark on Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan
