This blog goes over how to set boundaries with clients and people in your personal life during the holiday season.
Read MoreMeditation, like self-care, is a hot topic right now. Or maybe it’s always been a hot topic and I just never noticed until I started doing it. I didn’t believe it would work, at least not at first...I didn’t pick it back up until early 2020 when the proverbial shit hit the fan and I HAD to figure out how to deal with my anxiety. I was willing to try pretty much anything. Enter: meditation.
