What this episode covers

Teaser: I have heard it said that if you know something to be true, but act as though it isn’t the case then the next effect is you don’t really understand its truth.

Closed the Month of gratitude Saw the effects in my Emerging Leaders Students which was deeply gratifying. Self Care: Lift X3 a week which was great considering I have been sick all week! Got no Cardio done this week which is a concern that is one of the areas that for some reason I am allowing to slack even knowing that I have a bit of high blood pressure already I need to get back on that again soon And Meditated for 3X for at least 10-15 mins and will need to get another day in I am well on the road to recovery from what I am guessing was a muted flu this past week so that is postive So on to the podcast for today! How the white working class just got sacrificed at the altar of the rich. First thing: The whole idea of woke is a problem for me.
