Teresa Syms shares her story of early childhood trauma & abuse that bled out into life as an adult. We discuss how she processed her pain and what she experienced in her health because of the stress.

In this week's episode, Rebecca Hamlin, LCSW joins me once again to discuss the "myth" of balance."

Balance. Everyone wants it. Nobody can seem to grasp it. Balance is elusive because it assumes that are things are equal. That is never the case. We are never tending to EVERYTHING equally and with the same attention. We discuss ways to practice "wholeness" rather than aspiring for balance.

Before you hit the "GO" button for 2020, listen to this episode to pause before setting those resolutions. Take time to rest and reflect so that you intentionally plan 2020. By focusing on the QUALITY of your new year, you decrease your stress and avoid burnout.
