The Butterfly of Why
When life changes course unexpectedly, we often don't have the luxury to understand why it happened. Through stories and conversations, we can explore why we take those first steps that lead to growth, resilience, and perspective.
Join me, Jamie Weddle, as we explore The Butterfly of Why.
Thanks!
