*F.Y.I This episode was recorded a few weeks ago before the Coronavirus Pandemic hit us here in the U.S. Still this episode could help many of us who are dealing with the subject of sadness and being away from our families/friends/or activities that make us happy. Hang in there friends, be safe, wash those hands and continue to be strong.
Stayhome*
In this episode we focus on kindness and why does this world tend to underestimate strength and power that comes with kindness.
This episode will focus on fear & failure and how they go hand in hand. Why do we let fear of failure (and fear in general) take control of out decision making? Why do we let it stop some of us from pursuing what would make us happy? Listen and find out my views on why and how we can over come it.
(There are some cuss words in this episode (sorry) just in case some younger ears are nearby listening in, I don't want it to take you by surprise.)
