Episode 59: Unsettled Times and Transitions

EPISODE SUMMARY

Did the new year ring your bell? We have decided that February is the new January and January was a ‘gimme’ or ‘transitionary’ month, where we still cleaned up last year and prepped for this year…So bring on February! In this week’s episode, we explore the meaning we assign to the challenges we face and how to make sure that meaning does not lock us into stories that do not serve us.
