In this episode, Dr. Amber Selking revisits one of her past words of the year, sweetness. After a heavy and challenging 2020, she believes we could use a little bit more positive emotions in our hearts and minds towards ourselves and to others. She challenges us to think about where do we need more sweetness in our lives.
