but I don't think it would be all that helpful to you if I spent time writing or podcasting about the bad stuff without discussing ways to process and get through it.
And YES. Bad stuff happens. The world is filled with bad stuff and if you are looking for examples of it, you'll find it everywhere.

I am not in the dark. I am not an ostrich with her head in the sand.
But I do try my hardest to focus on things that will help me to move forward in my life towards my future goals and aspirations.
and that is how I best support my coaching clients so they, too, can fulfill their hopes, dreams, and goals.
If you haven't taken the time to read through the Slow Down & Simplify ebook, you should.

I write about this all the time with the Slow Living books and speak about it on the Slow Living podcast.

and here are some more articles/posts that I hope are helpful to you in some way:
