Jacey Adler
Ever hear someone speak and think, "I felt like I was the only one with that thought?" That's why Recalibrate exists: to create space for authentic conversations that connect us to our shared human experience. If you feel exhausted by all the personal growth content out there & feel like you’ve tried “all of the things” to feel better, this is the place for you. With a belief that "doing more" doesn't always bring better results - each episode provides tools to reflect, reconnect, & maybe even realize you're not alone in what you’re going through. Hosted by Jacey Adler every Wednesday.
