Just recently, we rang in the new year and held our breath for a fresh start free of the struggle that seemingly outlined every single day of 2021. We all knew a simple flip of the calendar wouldn’t change anything, but we couldn’t help still wishing for it. Now, one month into the new year, it’s clear that many of the social, business and political challenges remain, along with the continued aftermath of the pandemic.

What are the deeper causes of those feelings of overwhelm that you can impact, right here and now?
