JumpStart – Your Highest Self
VIDEO AUDIO SYNOPSIS Something that I’ve tried to figure out for years is “Why does our ego kick in when they’re tired and they are hungry.” Beyond the physiological impact, what causes us to become easily angered when we are hungry or tired? I totally buy in to the idea that each of us is […]
