Thoughts:
🎧 Audio 🎧
This was a needed book to listen to that did a good job of showing the correlation between stress and the effects of the body. While some of the chapters were slightly redundant, it was a good reminder to take care if YOURSELF, even when you’re taking care of others or think you are feeling ok.
