This episode starts with a nod towards the ephemeral. Do you believe in angels? I never did until Teal died, and she pretty much turned into one.

(That used to be me!)   Then I go on to share 20 different ways you can use right now to start to get the tension out of your body. Why? Because tension is beyond harmful.
