  • Restorative to the profession

    I have to say, I usually see podcasts as a distraction, something to maybe develop myself while I’m out for a walk or cutting tomatoes and meal-prepping for the week. But I decided to give this one a shot because I’ve seen Dr Edwards speak and I just like him.

    This has sincerely become one of the podcasts I always try to listen to right away. Every week I get to hear a new perspective or get a glimpse of another facet of the work SA professionals do. And truly, it IS restorative for me.
