Growing up in a family spanning two coasts, Glen gained a profound appreciation for the benefits of being raised in a two-parent household.

Glen Henry emphasizes that self-care is paramount. He insists that if you don’t tend to your own well-being, the unresolved issues from your own childhood can inadvertently affect your children.
