Episode Summary

In this episode, Dr. Amber Selking revisits her word of 2019 - alive - thinking of it in terms of what brings you life. What stimulates your soul and makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning so that you can be sustainable as an individual? On the flipside to that, what deadens you? Listen as she shares why we should be mindful of the people around us and how we can weave in the elements that make us feel alive.
