26: Permission to Live Again - How to Move Forward and Live Your Life On Purpose

Today on the podcast we thought we’d have a candid conversation about where we find ourselves, both mentally and emotionally, after two+ years of a pandemic, political and social unrest in our country, and watching the horrific events unfold in Ukraine.

We felt it might be therapeutic for listeners (and for us!) if we had a conversation about how we’re doing right now, and to share some ways that we minimize and manage the impact of the pressures we’ve all been facing.

There may be a lot happening in the world right now that we can’t control, so listen in as we talk about ways to focus on the things we can do something about. We acknowledge that we’re all going to have challenges, but the more we get out and start living our lives, the more alive we are going to feel.
