●      The pressure to perform comes from social conditioning, and the next generation feels that pressure from Gen X women, but young people should be authentic and pursue what sets their souls on fire

●      Social media can be dangerous as young people compare their achievements to others' highlight reels, and women may be discouraged from applying to schools even if they are qualified.

Do Army Veterans fully realize the impact of the combat experience on their mental health? It turns out they don’t! … Unless something pops up in their life later on.

At 74 years old, David has switched careers several times before eventually becoming an integral breath therapy facilitator, where he teaches how to use one’s breath to access and release trauma in the body.
