NOTE:  I discovered a nominal echo  in the first 2-3 minutes of the show. My apologies! It doesn't detract from listening to the otherwise, outstanding and life-changing episode! Enjoy!

Brief Episode Summary:

Pre-COVID, if someone would have asked you to define what the best version of you looks like, after careful reflection, you should have been able to “paint” an appropriate picture, one that takes into account the realities of the times you were living in. No matter where you were living on the planet, COVID-19, changed all of that!   
 

Key Topics:

  • It's my personal and strong conviction, that we're not going back to "normal," however we define it. If that's true, then delineating what the best version of ourselves looks like and how we get there, too, must change!
  • There's an antidote to the angst, uncertainty, stress and fear that the pandemic has caused. It's free - SMILING! 
  • The pandemic has revealed deadly flaws in the American healthcare system! What good has come from this gap already and might yet, result in us becoming the best version of ourselves?
  • We have become a pent-up society and desperately need a release! What are some of the positive ways that this has already played out and may yet going forward? 
  • The pandemic has already provided wonderful opportunities to reach out to others and be a change-maker! What are some of those opportunities?
