As the seasons change to either spring or autumn depending upon where you are in the world, it’s time to pause. It’s also a good time to evaluate as to whether you’ve gone into empathetic distress. There’s plenty to be concerned about in our world. And it’s a good time to rest. Pull back, take […]
An audio version of this blog post is here. “Self help books (or videos) are like car repair manuals: you can read them all day but doing so doesn’t repair anything. Working on a car means rolling up your sleeves and getting under the hood, and you have to be willing to get dirt on […]
