Episode 2710:

Adina Soclof reminds us that maintaining a happy family requires navigating the inevitable ups and downs with empathy and understanding.

Quotes to ponder:

"Family life is like a winding country road. Sometimes even and flat and other times quite bumpy and hilly."

"Low states and feeling blue are an annoying but intrinsic part of life."

"When emotions are running high, it is the time for everyone to take a break from each other."
