Together, they share personal stories of leaving behind old careers, parenting milestones, and the challenges of societal pressures that shape how we process emotions. This conversation opens the door to practical tools like mindfulness, meditation, journaling, and self-compassion to help you navigate life's triumphs and challenges.
