Brandon Joffe, LCSW

Brandon dives deep into the power of self-care and boundaries in parenting. Instead of trying to change your children, who may be struggling with their own challenges, he urges you to focus on your own health and well-being. By doing so, you can create a healthier environment that encourages your children to thrive. Setting boundaries isn’t about punishment or reward but about protecting yourself. He'll guide you on how to stop taking your child’s emotional reactions personally, take accountability for your actions, and avoid getting trapped in guilt or defensiveness. Brandon also shares practical advice on navigating those difficult moments when your child pushes back against the boundaries you set. This episode will help you embrace the transformative impact of self-care and boundaries, empowering you to become a more effective and compassionate parent while fostering a healthier, more balanced family dynamic.
