Summary

"After a huge shock to your life, you may find yourself saying that you’re “back at square one.” Martha insists that, instead, you are “on to square one” and that it’s a sign of forward progress.

Martha points out that “spring cleaning” is tied to this internal cycle. (Originally Aired: May 26, 2020.)
