# 402 - Becoming Self Actualized with Paulina Pinsky

Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, author of You, Your Husband, and His Mother, joins Kirsten, Cathy, and me to dive into the complex world of mother-in-law relationships. Tracy breaks down the dynamics between a husband and wife, and why it’s essential to address an overbearing in-law early and openly. We also explore the different types of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, and how to navigate those roles with understanding, boundaries, and compassion.

In this episode, we reflect on how we continue to learn from each other despite our age gap, and dive into the importance of self-actualization and always asking yourself “why” as you grow. Paulina also opens up about how she’s processed her trauma and how beautifully she’s evolved since we first met.
