How to Reinvent Yourself (in 2023) | Being Well Podcast

We’ve come to the end of another year, and it’s a good time to take stock and consider how we’d like to grow and change during our next trip around the sun. In this episode, Dr. Rick and I focus on what supports us and what holds us back from reinventing ourselves and becoming all we wish to be. We talk about how we’d like to change over the next year, different approaches to new year’s resolutions, do a little digging around in my psyche, and highlight a few practical things we can do to support our change.
