Not Ideal But I Deal

Lori McAfee
About this episode

In this episode of Get Your Rearing Gear with Lori, host Lori McAfee discusses the reality that sometimes the choices we have to make are not always our ideal choices, but rather what the current season of life demands. She emphasizes the importance of making the best out of these situations and reacting in ways that give us power. Whether it's due to family obligations, financial constraints, or health issues, we may feel cornered and unable to pursue our ideal choices. She encourages listeners to consider the effects their choices have on others and the importance of effective communication in these situations.

"Your power lies in your reaction to the situation and the season of life that you're in, even though when it's not your ideal choice."
