We apologise for the long absence. After a series of health issues, life got in the way these last 12 months … mostly work. If only we have the means to make this our full-time job, that would be ideal.
In this episode, Kris updates Karen on her search for a job and finally … an outcome. Having said that, somehow, guilt and shame have reared their ugly heads out. How does one deal with shame and the guilt that goes with it?

Self-Care for the Mind, Body and Soul

There is no one-size-fits-all so remember, what works for them, may not necessarily work for you.
