We live in a time where our environment is constantly changing and our society is living in survival mode. When stressed, our thinking mind acts with speed instead of depth, trying to get things done instead of acting intentionally. There is no time for consideration, discernment and deeper thinking. These are key ingredients for living functionally. 

In this episode Ava talks about functionality and why it is her # 1 goal. Listen in to learn some tips and ideas about how you can be more functional in your life.
