Let's Talk Three Ways To Feel Good Now
Manage episode 335545686 series 3375262
This podcast is all about learning to FEEL GOOD, even when life DOESN'T. My first live video back after a month away felt great (even though the audio isn't that great--sorry!). The topic today is 3 Ways to Feel Good Now. When tough days hit, it's nice to know the way through, right? Having a map makes all the difference--because we understand what we need to do. We feel more confident at mastering tough emotions.
