The Paul Taylor Podcast | Expert in Hardiness and Mental Fitness

How do we prepare for the inevitable (metaphorically speaking) slap in the face or the more serious punch in the face? Life is not easy and we should expect it to be. If we expect it, we can prepare for it and just like training for a boxing bout, we need to train for lifes challenges and face them head on. Carly and I chat today about how, in this easy, modern world, we can train to cope better with the hard stuff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
