Today is a Gift!

About this episode

The episode explores the importance of living in the present moment and appreciating it as a gift, while also remembering Mark White.

A cornerstone principle found in many major counseling and psychological theories, and a profound truth is that dwelling too much on the past creates depression , and worrying too much about the future creates anxiety ." In this month’s podcast, I want to explore that, talk about why this moment, right now , is the most precious gift we have, and discuss how I've learned to appreciate it. We also remember one of my favorite people on the planet, Mark White.
