Part 2 of 3 with Dr. Shane Kokoszka, DC. If you have ever read the same page five times and still could not make it stick, this episode explains why. Dianna Kokoszka and her son, a Doctor of Chiropractic with more than two decades in practice, dig into why stress makes learning harder, why listening calms a stressed client, how the stories you repeat wire your brain, and the daily practices that bring you back to a calm state where change comes faster. They close with Be, Do, Have, from Dianna's book.
