surviving vs. living ep.36

Alex Adams
About this episode

Sometimes we get stuck in the default setting of survival. We go through life following a mundane routine that simply allows us to get from one day to the next. Unfortunately, this way of surviving stops us from truly living our lives, taking risks, exploring new experiences and making meaningful connections despite any worries or fears that may come. Today we talk about the mentality of survival and moving towards a more fulfilling life. I love you all, enjoy.
