In this video, Caroline Giroux invites you to practice a constructive reframing of daily frustrations, even significant adversity. Viewing and experiencing all aspects of life as an opportunity to expand awareness can help us get through hardship and letting go of a specific outcome.

Listen to Dr G's Dandelion Monologues to learn more about practicing this resilience approach within reach !
