Game Changer

This podcast has been a game changer for me. I’m a type A, on the go/get things done, never hit relax type person. The topics that Joel and Emily discuss will literally help you reprogram the way you think and talk in the best possible way. I’ve gotten more out of this than I have with any therapist I have worked with.
