This episode was actually recorded in Fall of 2022. It was originally titled "My Biggest Takeaway from Getting Covid," and by the time it was edited and ready to launch the topic felt moot and irrelevant to the current state of the world.

Recently, I heard an intuitive nudge that said, "Your listeners need to hear this one."

In this podcast, I openly share my experiences, challenges, and the lessons I glean from them.

One of the learning experiences for me was the time when my daughters and I got COVID. It was challenging, not only physically, but mentally too. Lean in as I tell you more about how COVID affected my mindset, my biggest takeaway, and my top 3 mindset tools in my self-growth toolbox.

I'm confident that you'll find value in this resurrected episode

• How did my daughters and I get COVID

• What were our covid symptoms 

• The toll covid took on my mindset

• My top 3 go-to tools in my self-growth and personal transformation toolbox

• How do I use journaling to support me when imposter syndrome comes up

• What is the Emotional Freedom Technique a.k.a. EFT tapping and how does it work
