How do you navigate divorce? Especially when you have kids?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at the family dynamics of Mrs. Doubtfire.

They talk about Daniel’s transformation into Mrs. Doubtfire and how perspective-taking allows him to grow as a person and parent.
