...It (podcast episode with Fierce Freedom) was so interesting, insightful and inspiring. It made me think about my own relationship with my kids and if I gave them enough affirmation..

I believe this book is absolutely necessary and beneficial for parents, and it should be in every family's household. I fully plan to order more books for our support group as well as freely within our clinic for other therapists to utilize with their young clients.

Genise is an asset to any community she is involved in. her character is impeccable and that shows through all she is connected with. Genise ends up positively influencing those around her with her quiet excellence and wisdom..
