Episode #42 Love and kindness. Thank you Couch Choir and the World for putting vulnerable people above business and economics. So grateful.
In the next episodes we are going to focus on all things to do with love. Finding ways to be kind and generous to ourselves first, others second and to reach out in ways that you have not before.

Episode #45. Can't get motivated during Covid-19. Why and what to do about it. Plus a poem I wrote about simple moments.
Hello,
Brain frozen like the antartic. Wonder why. Notice that the past is coming flowing into the present- when you thought it had been dealt with. Recognizing how powerful the covid-19 stress is impacting the brain health and welfare of our country matters. Doubling down on mental strength and resilience right now matters a lot. I wrote a poem about how the simple moments matter to help us right now.
Enjoy love and hugs
Selena
