Pause to Move: Recent Episodes
Ami K Kalsi
This podcast is a reminder to take a pause, reflect on ourselves! We have heard it all! There is an information overload!! It is overwhelming. This is unfiltered! Time to get into action mode✨ If it’s a pep talk that you need, this is for you. If you want a chance to be heard, this is for you. I speak but I listen too. I’ll have my peers on board occasionally and talk about stuff that affect our personal growth-culture, health, motivation- we will talk about everything that supports or hinders YOUR growth. More power to you. Peace, Ami
Alright, let’s get real. We all want to treat THAT one person the best way possible. If your love language is doings acts of service, you’ll understand what I mean. Now let’s switch some gears, what if you made THAT person yourself. All I mean to imply is practicing your love language in terms of acts of service on yourself has a lot of benefits. Hope you love yourself too! This is the final episode, thank you for being such good audience, see you some other time, at some other place. Peace,Ami
