What's in your smoke?
Everyone knows that fire produces smoke, right? When we're depressed or anxious it's harder to see what our problems do to someone else. When we're in the midst of a fire, we never really know how bad the smoke is or where it's going. It's only when we step back and look at our situation from a 30,000 ft view do we notice how much damage we have or are, currently doing. In this episode we will discuss what smoke your fire has produced....and then you're given a challenge to make things better!
