How to Feel Confident in Uncertainty with Alyssa Dver

“Don’t be afraid to breathe, don’t be afraid to slow down and don’t be afraid to ask somebody to poke you every now and then, because the reality is we can all use a little help right now. There’s nothing shameful about it, but at the same time I think everyone around us can use our help, so let’s do it.” - Alyssa DverWith the turbulent times we are all experiencing this year, who wouldn’t want to be more comfortable, calm and in control?
