Shingles, Guilt and Shame

We apologise for the long absence. After a series of health issues, life got in the way these last 12 months … mostly work. If only we have the means to make this our full-time job, that would be ideal. In this episode, Kris updates Karen on her search for a job and finally … an outcome. Having said that, somehow, guilt and shame have reared their ugly heads out. How does one deal with shame and the guilt that goes with it? How about you, what works for you?

Self-Care for the Mind, Body and Soul

We are back and apologies for the huge gap between episodes! While Karen has been back for some time, Kris had been under the weather for weeks.

There is no one-size-fits-all so remember, what works for them, may not necessarily work for you. How about you, what are the self-care practices that work for you?
