When we do this, it brings up our average level of performance while simultaneously building empo...

This solocast is the first in the 2021 Goal Achievement Series, focusing on the importance of not just what we want to DO, but on who we want to BE.

In this episode, Brooke and I discuss mental health, the challenges and the stigmas in the “traditional” mode...
