    Difficult Conversations

    Difficult Conversations

    Rochelle and I discuss about the current social climate, while addressing what's happening and sharing our personal responses. A moment in history that is harder to comprehend for some - we chat about resources, knowing when to participate in online conversations about the matter and ultimately, accepting to listen & learn. 
    Later on in the episode, we also talk about balancing self-care and being workaholics.
