Episode 3093:
Dr. Kelly Flanagan shares a funny and honest confession about family dinners with three kids. He reveals how the nightly circus at the table became a lesson in letting go of what he wants, accepting his kids as they are, and finding the quiet mind and settled heart that make for healthy relationships at home.

Quotes to ponder:
"Eckhart Tolle says stress is what happens when we want to be in a different moment, a different place, or a different circumstance."
"I could achieve the order I want with an iron fist or a screaming voice, but at what cost?"
"And the sweet irony is this: the quiet mind and the settled heart are what we wanted all along."
