How To Focus, Cope and Be Kind When Life Feels Overwhelming

So many things seem to be going wrong in our world right now. Life feels scary as hell, overwhelming, and super hard for millions of people, here in the U.S. and abroad. Knowing how to focus, cope, and be kind has never been more important. All three can feel tough, and even impossible, because our brains are hardwired to focus on negativity and our bodies are feeling the impact. 

This week, I'm putting the hard stuff on the table so we can look at it together. 
I'll teach you how to override your brain's hardwiring and develop coping skills by re-focusing your mindset. 

And, I'll tell you how you can start flexing your kindness muscle like a champ through the lens of science, storytelling and a daring invitation to imagine what's possible.
