Creative Self Care with Crystal McLain

And not just with my business, but with my life. I wanted to taste the sweet nectar of this thing...

I noticed that I was becoming a frustrated zombie, hungry for a part of my brain to be fed, but despite my efforts an emptiness remained. Today I'm sharing my process of finding those missing pieces, and how loving my old self in this new year is feeding my brain. _____________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the blogcast, Unlocking Wellness!
