In this solocast episode, I’m diving head first into how you can find your inner calm in the midst of this chaotic Presidential Election. To set the stage, this episode is focusing on what’s going on behind the emotions and intensity of this election, and what each of us can do recenter ourselves. Whether you support Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, it’s likely that you are feeling fearful about the outcome of the election. So let’s take a look at what you can do, even when it feels like there aren’t a lot of options.
No matter the outcome, the country will face change. It’s hard for many of us because with the intensity of this campaign, people are feeling triggered, overwhelmed, and helpless.
