Positively Chill

90s R&B, the best genre of all time. In this episode, I discuss some of my favorite 90s R&B lyrics, authenticity and something called The Window of Tolerance, which is our sweet spot for dealing with intense emotions and stress. Plus some strategies for hitting that sweet spot, which can help combat anger, panic, irritability, anxiety, fight-or-flight instincts and disconnection. And this episode made me realize I don't know how to spell authenticity.
