This session begins with a story about a bird that may have thought the flowers in the garage were better than the trees outside. Eartha uses the simple story to help discover limitations of impact bias.

During this episode, join Eartha on a walk, as she shares mindful perspectives and discover how to appreciate the small stuff in life.
