Redefining Life with Courage and Clarity on the San•IT Project Podcast

Working in a stressful environment is something that seems normal for many professionals. Yet, stress can cause a large number of health issues that often even lead to relationship issues. That certainly was the case for me and that is what Joanne Victoria of the San•IT podcast asked me to dive into. We talked about my decade of working in technology and consulting Fortune 50 companies. We talked about how that stress and bad boundaries impacted my life outside of work and what I did to create a life that eliminated the toxic stuff I had become accustomed to.
