In this episode, the topic has been weighing heavy on my mind—both literally and figuratively—air quality. Southern California is dealing with wildfires that have not only shut down schools and sports but also impacted the air we breathe. But I want to take this conversation further, beyond the physical smoke. How often do we let the "air quality" of our lives—our mental and emotional state—be polluted by circumstances we can’t control? Whether it’s wildfires, 9/11, or any life-changing event, how we choose to respond can determine whether we breathe in negativity or clean, fresh air.
Join me as I explore how we can filter out emotional pollutants and make conscious choices to improve our "mental air quality." Whether you're directly impacted by a crisis or just trying to navigate life's challenges, I hope this episode helps you reflect, heal, and grow stronger. Remember, your mental air quality is in your control!
