With your host, Pete McKitis.

Hello, and thanks so much for joining us here for episode 169 with Gail Van Gills.

This is probably the deepest or most spiritual episode that we've had to date, we talk self-love, intrinsic

human dignity, perspectives on fear and love from religious and secular

vantage points. Oh my, so as compared to other episodes this might be more mushy and less

immediately tactical than many but I think it's also probably really among the

most foundational when it comes to you and your

presence and what you're bringing to being awesome at your job. So strap in because

we're going to be talking about some of the heart stuff deep down inside with Gail here so you're going to learn one the effects of a toxic workplace and how to counteract it with love

two core practices to deepen your capacity for kindness,

and three, a handy ritual to stop negative reactions.

So if you'd like to check out the show notes,

the transcript, or the links to items that we reference here,

it's over at awesome at your job
