Edit Your Life Episode 97: Moving Forward Under Stress
The last few weeks in our country have been remarkably painful. Hurricanes, floods, fires, shootings, untimely deaths, warmongering, political chaos...it’s enough to make us want to hide in the closet and never come out. And yet, there’s still work to do, meals to cook, and life to live. How do you keep functioning and even experiencing joy when things are so stressful?
In Episode 97 of Edit Your Life, Asha and I give listeners the podcast version of a hug. We share what’s going on in our lives, plus what we’re doing to stay productive in today’s stressful climate.
