Oh my. These are intense and shifting times, are they not?! As The SHIFT-IT Coach, I continue to shift too. In my personal life, I continue to support my parents to age in place. For privacy reasons, I won’t go into details, but suffice to say, this context adds a bittersweet component. One of the... Read more »
