Hello Treasured Listener, 

How do you get "down"? Downtime that is! Do you scroll, game, spiral into the social media black hole?  What are you REALLY doing on that phone?!?! We find that many people think "downtime" on a device is not time well spent. Today we talk about ways that "downtime" (on and off a device) can be more than just endless scrolling.

Listener, 

New Year still applies!  It is only February and not too late to reflect on the past and audit for the year ahead of you. 

In this epidose we discuss self-reflection as an act of assessing our state of being and self-auditing as an act of evaluating what you do and how you spend your time.  Both useful approaches to setting better intentions and planning for a better you! There is also good content on remembering to talk to yourself like a friend!

Dear Listener, 

Books can be our voice.  They can be a mirror reflecting our own image and experiences or they can be a window giving glimpse to the lives and experiences of others.  Books an teach.  Stories can inspire.  Information can be shared.
