342: How to have "a daily practice of choice." Talking with Mariela Ortiz of the Mommy Matters Summit

Our choices right now seem extremely limited, don't they? We don't have a choice in how the coronavirus spreads, we don't have a lot of choices in how our children's childcare and schooling works right now. For many of us even our own ability to be private, to have alone time, doesn't feel like it's under our control. Today's guest, Mariela Ortiz, helps us to a different mindset: she talks about "a daily practice of choice." Some things are in our control; we can make meaningful choices. Listen to today's conversation to figure out how to do that! Notes and Links Mariela invited me to be one of the experts in her Mommy Matters Summit, such an honor!
