I tried. I failed. I was devastated. When I left my career in 2018, I followed what I felt was my calling. The road has not been easy. It has been filled with a lot of twists and turns. After almost two years of schooling, I flushed out my idea and felt grounded in research….

How to have Hard Conversations
In the U.S. we are two days away from the 2020 elections. The past few months and weeks have been filled with stress, worry and anxiety. This election is a big one not only for the people in the US, but for people abroad. There is palpable fear and division that is present not only…
