956 Robyn Downs – The Feel Good Effect

The Feel Good Effect

What if wellness isn’t about achieving another set of impossible standards, but about finding what works­—for you

In this episode, I speak with Robyn about her book – The Feel Good Effect. Instead of trying to get more done, Robyn offers a refreshingly sane approach that will allow you to identify and focus on the elements that actually move the needle in your life right now. Less striving. More ease. It’s time to feel good.
