Rather than doing a \u201c38 things for 38\u201d (who has time for that?), inspired by other podcasts and articles I\u2019ve seen on this theme, I decided to share on 12 lessons I\u2019ve learned or leaned into in the past 12 months.    As you\u2019ll hear in the podcast, the 12 lessons I\u2019m carrying with me are about things I found myself learning, relearning, or focusing on intently over the past year. From the importance of asking for what I need, to learning that I don\u2019t have to do it all myself, and ensuring that I slow down without putting my life on hold while I wait for something to happen, I\u2019ve learned so much\u2026and I am so thankful for these life lessons!   This year, vulnerability and openness took center stage. As part of this process, I wrote this article where I describe my experience healing from PTSD related to sexual assault. If you too are struggling to find peace after a traumatic event, I hope my story reminds you that peace is possible. For those interested in learning more about trauma recovery, I created an all-new group coaching program for you.    Mentioned in this episode:  I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention my two books \u2013 The Little Book of Game Changers: 50 Healthy Habits for Managing Stress & Anxiety and The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver's Guide to Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep \u2013 both of which serve as guides in developing and maintaining healthy living habits.   In this episode I also mention my podcast episode with Emily Morse, renowned sex therapist and host of the award-winning relationship podcast, \u201cSex with Emily.\u201d During our chat, Emily and I dive into the mind-body connection between the brain and how our body responds to sex, and the key role our brain plays in our sex lives.   Like what you hear?
