The Peaceful Life Podcast

When there's a traumatic event in our lives - whether it's personal or world - we tend to separate our memories and experiences into Before and After. So now we're reconnecting and readjusting to our new "After" world. It's a new world and our culture is changing, but there are many ways it's changing for the better. How are you adjusting?
