In her conversation with Omega digital media director Cali Alpert, Dr. Andrea Pennington talks about drama and trauma in life, and how we come to manage them. But bouncing back, she says, goes beyond a return to baseline normal—it’s about being able to thrive. Empowering ourselves to slow down, be still and take time out for play are powerful tools that can bolster self-love and provide nourishment for the mind and body.
