"People think taking care of themselves is selfish, but it's actually your gift to the world. We have a responsibility to bring the very best of ourselves to the people around us."

Executive coach and author, Madelaine Weiss, talks to Dr. Lipkin about the power of "good company" - not just in the people we surround ourselves with, but in the thoughts we allow to stay in our minds.

Madelaine shares practical tools for emotional regulation that both adults and children can use, including the transformative practice of "power breathing."

We talk about how creating a shared emotional language in families can lead to deeper connection, resilience, and peace of mind - even in a world full of noise. This one is full of timeless wisdom and truly useful takeaways for parents and caregivers alike.

Madelaine Weiss, MSEd, LICSW, is a Harvard-trained executive and career coach, licensed psychotherapist, and the author of two books focused on mental wellness for adults and children. Through her writing, coaching, and workshops, Madelaine helps individuals and families cultivate greater clarity, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of purpose. Her work blends science, psychology, and timeless wisdom to help people take better care of their most important asset: themselves.

Guest: Madelaine Weiss, executive and career coach, licensed psychotherapist, and author.
