During this week of Thanksgiving, Sarah focuses in on being thankful for the gifts you have to GIVE, as opposed to what have been given to you. In this twist on the tradition of giving thanks for what we have received, she walks you through scientific studies that show how much giving can impact our overall health & wellness. Everyone has a gift to give. The hope is that this episode will help you to find yours.
