When was the last time you had space to feel?

With the National Trust, you might just find life standing still under towering trees.

Maybe you'll find connection among the stories of the past,

So this podcast was a way to get the news of the day, but not have the anxiety take you over.

And the goal was to end, not necessarily on a positive note per se, but on a note

with perspective and peace. So it was a nighttime listen. But what about the morning? So we are going

to add in some morning motivation pick me ups just to get the right perspective. We don't have a name
