We're thrilled to bring back another one of our favorite episodes that we know you'll enjoy during Christmas week.

Whitney spoke with Livingston Taylor in August 2020. He's a singer, songwriter, teacher and the brother of James Taylor. Livingston reminds us that you don't need to be on a stage to perform. We're performing every day with our words, choices, even body language.

Simply stepping back to see that can be enormously clarifying, no matter where you are on your S Curve.
