Premiere episode - have more responsibility and love for yourself and the planet

Be Well and Be Green

In this premiere episode, the host, Angie Gust, introduces John Travis’s Wellness Energy System-the 12 dimensions of wellness.  The first dimension, self-responsibility and self-love, is discussed and the connection is made between personal health and wellness and the health and wellness of our planet Earth.  Several facts about the climate crisis are noted from the Climate Reality Leadership training that the host attended in March 2019 and several personal actions are suggested so that everyone can be part of the solution.
