She has published over 200 peer-reviewed, scientific papers appearing in Science, Nature Neuroscience, and other top journals in psychology and cognitive neuroscience, as well as six academic volumes published by Guilford Press.

In this episode, Dr. Barrett talks about how you have more control over your emotions than you think, and how improving your ability to train your emotions can have a profoundly beneficial impact on your life.

Marcie in Mommyland – Marcie in Mommyland is the place where Marcie shares tips and tricks that her family learned on their travel adventures so that you can set yourself up for success. We all know how stressful it can be to travel with kids — especially young ones — and Marcie’s blog is a fantastic place to get advice on how to ensure your next vacation will be a success! We were thrilled that she included us in a post entitled How I (Mostly) Survive Family Travel with Little Kids.
Maman Loup’s Den – Maman Loup means Mommy Wolf in French and is the brainchild of Lindsay. Her blog has gained notoriety for its practical advice on cloth diapering, but also has wonderfully helpful posts on attachment parenting, breastfeeding, co-sleeping and babywearing. We loved that Lindsay included the Dream Big Podcast in a hilarious article entitled 23 Weeks Pregnant … and I have to P! Check out the article to see why we were included.
