“There are principles that can guide us in a different way of living our lives that is actually so much more sustainable and so much more life-giving.”
— Brandie Mitchell
Brandie Mitchell, RN, NC-BC was a recent speaker for our USLCA workshop, which was such a success, so we’re excited to rebroadcast this episode with her.
Do you find time to rest, like truly rest?
Because we hate to break it to you but having reality TV on in the background while writing emails doesn’t count as real rest!
