    The Journey of Evolving ~ Taking Yourself With You: Dr. Lisa Cook & Sheena Phillips

    Do we change or do we evolve as people in our lives? One of my favorite quotes is by James Baldwin: "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." In her book "Becoming," Michelle Obama stated, "It's all a process, steps along a path... Becoming requires equal parts patience and rigor. Becoming is never giving up on the idea that there's more growing to be done." Have you stop growing? Are you ready for change...for evolution? Dr. Lisa Cook, along with her special guest, Sheena Phillips, outlines valuable steps to learn from as she narrates her journey and offers practical methods that can be applied to one's life.
