21 - Uncertainty & Self-Awareness - Interview w/ Dr. Shahana Alibhai

What do you want to feel? Carrying your emotions in your life can be extremely hard and overwhelming. Self-awareness and tuning into your intentions for the day can be one of the keys to having a joyful life.

Also, how can you be a better coach by asking the powerful, sometimes hard, questions about how people are feeling.
