Nobody Told Me!

Let’s face it—we all worry! We worry about work, money, relationships, our families, health..and other important life issues. We worry about things we’ve said and done, about how people perceive us, about what might go wrong and about things we can’t control. Our guest on this episode, Lori Deschene, is the author of a new book called, “Tiny Buddha’s Worry Journal—A creative way to let go of anxiety and find peace.”  The "Tiny Buddha" community that she built online has more than three million monthly readers.
