In Episode 4, Don't Call It A Comeback, the hosts discuss recovery in terms of COVID, surgery, injuries, etc. Many of the challenges we experience in life are outside of our control. However, our outlook, our speech, proper nutrition and adequate rest are things within our span of control. 

Later in the discussion, the host discuss the borrowed idea of rest being active. This concept can be foreign in our demand driven culture. Rest just by virtue of us participating in it, is an action. Being the push-through king or queen does always serve us in ways we intend. This is at the heart of the discussion, getting to know yourself and your body and understanding when to push and when to just be.

We hope you enjoy this podcast and find nuggets that will help you as you journey along to being your best self.

Remember to always be kind to yourself!!
