I had a great time chatting with Joel and I've been using https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1147749&u=475775&m=74356&urllink=&afftrack= (my FluidStance deck) off and on ever since our conversation. I could stand to use it more often (see what I did there?) and revisiting this episode when putting together these notes have inspired me to do so. Why? Because I have been working on my health over the past several months and I know that my FluidStance deck can have a positive impact on that project. And as Joel said...every little bit helps.
