In this Part 1 of a 2 part talk, I speak with Cindy McCann who is an expert in Early Childhood Education and communicative disorders, and a former pre-school special education teacher. She is currently a certified Life Coach and Dream Builder Coach with a focus on parents of special education children. This episode is about building kids up.

I also cover the rain in Los Angeles, a wardrobe malfunction and of course, a Keto diet update with thoughts on emotions and feeling associated with food.
