Who said we can't have fun during quarantine ? Just because we are physically boxed in our homes doesn't mean that we can't think outside of the box to have fun - digitally, of course!

We hear about mindfulness and self-awareness and why it leads to a better, happier life. The first step to that is through self-reflection and in this episode, I am sharing on why it is important and the steps to do self-reflection.
