Sustainable Compassion Training with Jona Genova [IEP 150]
Please join us in what will be our last conversation of 2020. We’re taking a break during the month of December to rest and rejuvenate from what has been a difficult and unpredictable year for most of us, and we plan to return in January 2021 with a fresh perspective and more interviews with some really great guests.
Our hope is that you will also take this time to slow down and recharge, even if it’s just during the time you share with us on this episode.
We have a special treat for you that will help you on your way to doing that.
Jona Genova is our special guest today and she will be leading us in a compassionate meditation. Jona is an energy healer and a meditation teacher.
You’re going to love this!
Enjoy the holidays the best way you can, and we’ll see you next year.
