Show Notes

Allen and Thom answer some of your Facebook questions and investigate how we can bring the best possible attitude towards a notoriously stressful time of year.  In particular we look at the concept of Joy: we can’t experience life’s highs without also enduring its lows. Coming to the end of a year that had as much pain and setback as positive growth, this is vital to remember.

 

Check out Joe C's latest Rebellion Dogs episode for more on this and a look ahead to recovery in the new year:
