Is it just us, or has the first quarter of 2022 felt like walking through mud? Ok, we know it’s not just us, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into on this week’s episode. Carrie breaks down some of the reasons we may be feeling like this, and other factors that may be contributing to the general malaise. She then gets into what NOT to do (guilt has no place here!), and then gives easy, actionable tips and resources to break out of the slump.
