She describes how she just did that and how it has benefitted her. Chris shares her struggle with slowing down, facing her roadblocks, and how it has had positive impacts on her mind and body, and personal and business focuses.  Mentions: Mamas and Co www.mamasandco.com*******FIND me here!Chris Swail, certified Life Coach and Health Coach, founder of A Little Bit Better IG @chris.swail and free tools and more info at www.alittlebitbetter.ca

Should, should, should!We use this word often and without realizing the negative impacts it layers upon us emotionally and, because emotional stress shows up in the body,  physically.
