It's so easy to feel sad that the good times are over, miss the good old days, and feel like we just can't move on. Today nervous system coach Masha Kay @mashakay is here with us to help answer the chief complaint of the week, "I need help with: the come down after a wedding, your best day ever and then....normal life" - which is something that I think we can all relate to especially this time of year when normal life just seems so much harder now that the fun time is over!
