It’s the beginning of the school year for most of us. Though there are certainly things I love about this time of year, it is challenging-especially during COVID-19. Now more than ever is the time to talk about giving yourself grace. When you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed by a packed schedule or you've been hard on yourself for whatever reason, it's important to pause and give yourself grace. Giving yourself grace is about giving yourself the kindness you need. This is the same kindness that you would extend to your best friend when they are going through a rough patch. 

Listen in as we discuss some ways that you can give yourself grace and further support your well being at this busy time of year or at any time of year that things feel out of control.
