On today’s show I talk about the challenge and importance of focusing on the good stuff in the midst of everything that is going on right now. Because things are so challenging it can be hard to tap into gratitude these days authentically, or we can feel guilty for doing so given how much suffering exists in the world. While it is important to be mindful of this, there is real power for us when we allow ourselves to focus on what we appreciate about what’s happening. While I wish this all wasn’t going on, there are some aspects of it that I am enjoying. And, it’s not only okay for us to acknowledge this good stuff, it’s essential for us to do so.
Today is the day…my new book, We’re All in This Together, is officially available! On this show, I share the origin story behind this new book, the specific reasons why I wrote it, the significance of the title and timing, and how it connects with what we’re going through right now. I also talk about the four pillars of the book and how these things relate to you and your team. The moment that we’re in calls for us to come together in a new and different way. Now more than ever, we truly are all in this together.

Full Show NotesOn today’s show I talk about the idea that “this, too, shall pass.” While there is deep truth and wisdom in this mantra, it can also be tricky. We have to be careful about when and how we say it to others, and also how we think about it ourselves. And, remembering how strong and resilient we are, as well as knowing that we will get through this, are important things for us to focus on as we make our way through this challenging time.
