Thank you for joining us for episode 483 of Live Happy Now.

Election season is fully underway, and that means many of us are already feeling that little

But this week, we're offering a way to help you through it.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and I'm joined by Dr. Lauren Cook, a licensed clinical psychologist
