Stress Hormone Hangover Leaves Door Open for Mental Mayhem
I recently presented at a workshop which went well. At least, I am pretty sure it went well. I received positive feedback from people who attended. I was excited to be there. The majority of my work is done in my small home office with my cute little rescue dog for company; so, it was […]
Take a Break
